For the benefit of those interested. we publish the following concerning desert land entry and occupation of the came from the Citiz-n: Under the Desert Land Law, residence upor the Ian iIs not required. To obtain title and a patent tom the United States 1t is only necessary 10 reclaim the land from its desert condition by the application of water and thst to accomplish this obj- and i,, order 10 show the gooi faith of the en,rymsn or assignee, at least one dollar per acre should be expended during each Of the first three !eSss in the purchase of water sights for its Ieclamstion or otherwise and shat by the affidavit ot the entrymsn or assignee and two competent witnesses proof Of this e1- penditure should be duly filed each year.
 The provisions Of the homestead law are not practically applicable t, dseert lands. Under that law bona tide residence upon the land, com- meneing within six months from date of entry. and continuing for at least fourteen moosbs is required, and un. less residence is continued for five years al ,he time of final proof the land must be purchased from the gov ernmsnt ., the price of Sl.25 per acre. the came price ss under the desert land law. Before sn entryman, under the homestead law, can obtain a patent, he must prove the cultivation of the land, and this is impractie.ble until water has been applied to ir Ly irrigation. Until this has been done and come returns from the cultivation of the soil Can be obtained, re.idrpce upon the land must necessarily be unprojuctive and s source o! expense without compensAting income. For these rsasons it is cheaper and better 10 enter under the deser, act, and ts defer residence upon and occupation of the land until water can be served.

The Cla ssi.ic.,rH Case Heard and City Tax Suit Sub.
 mltted.

The classification act which has at tracted % much attention and in which the supervisors interpreted em- boaying in 8 resolution passed estsb fishing the old rate salaries for county officials and fixing the date for the set to take effect in 1897. wss heard in the supreme court and the judgment of the lower court affirmed is 60 far as denying the writ of certoria proceed ings and thus settling ;hs legality of the set.
 The decision of Judge Bethunr, ss appears on the judgment roll in this county reads: Writ 10 review certo- ria resolution of the board denied on the ground that a plain speedy and adequate recovery existed at law. The board ID passing the r.solIiion fixing the salaries of the county officers named therein was absolutely null and void"
 c. $. Clark, Attorney in the case who returned from Pheuix states the point at issue regarding the action of board Is vet to be decided upon and handed down with ,l.e decisions of the chief justice; However he admits tn. Case has been prsctic.lly ' decided as 10 the legality of the act
 To man up tree and aloof from the labyrinth of law, 1t sp- pears the Case is settled, but the re- doubtable attorney declares he still has a good case and evidently argues that "whIle there Is life there is hope"
 Th- following CUchi.e county appeal ases have been argued before that tIi- bunal. and were decided yesterday:
