Under The care,- Act.

Tuesday Of this week State Engineer
r. j. Mills and Hon. Frank Fem OF the
State Land department filed In the land
Office at Blackfcot tho necessary papers,
maps, etc. for over $1,000 acres of
desert land granted by the State Land
board to the American Falls and Pow
er company for reclamation under the
Carey act. These lands extend from a
point north Of Blackfoot on the west
side Of Snake river to point south OF
where the Oregon Short Line railroad
crosses Snake river at American Falls.
The entries In the case were rejected
BY the register and receiver because Of
the refusal OF the officers 20 pay the
land Office fees aggregating over $500.
An appeal will be taken by the State
Land board 20 the Honorable Commits
sioncr Of the General Land office, and In
the interim the lands will be withheld
from entry. This is case OF great In
,crest TO the people OF the West Side
and particularly TO those living along
the arst IS or 40 miles Of the contem-
plated canal.
II Is common talk that great deal OF
feeling is growing out OF the action OF
the state Land board in this matter,
and that remonstrances and petitions
as strong as they can be made, will be
forwarded 20 the Commissioner praying
that the lands already covered by an
other canal Peoples, for 30 or 40
miles, be allowed TO remain intact ana
subject to entry by the squatters on
them. and by others who are Interested
In the Peoples canal TO the extent oil
water rights for the lands they expect
od "a enter as soon as these water rights
conld be obtained from their work on
the canal. The Peoples canal company
claim that by the close Of the summer
they viii have reclaimed the lands rli-
dor their canal for the distance named
above. and that beyond that point south,
thero win be no objections offered to
the grant by contract Of the board with

ALABAMA P0PULISTS.
They Fear the Republicans Hill
absorb Them.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Jan. 26.-Popu-
list leaders are alarmed at the growing
weakness Of their party in Alabama.
Chairman Deua yesterday issued an
address to his followers urging them
not to accept the invitations of the
Democratic committee to return to that
party, and severely scored Captain
Joseph johnson, Democratic silver GU
bernatorial candidate for action in
bringing about the Democratic COM
mittee's action. The probability OF
many ex-Democrats, now Populists, go
ing back to the Democracy has caused
the Populist leaders to offer to fuse
with the Republican on practically
whatever terms the latter may dictate.
Three. or even four places on the pro-
posed fusion State ticket are offered
the Republicans. The Republican lead
ers are quite confident that the result
win be that their party will swallow
the Populist organization. Mckinley
men are now dominant among the Re-
publicans, and Mckinley delegation
seems probable.--St. Louis Republic.
