LAND OFFICE RULES.
On Matter of Granting Leave of Abb
sence to Settlers on the Min
idoka Irrigation Tract

The following letter from the de-
partment of the interior relative to
the application OF Robert Zahalka
for leave of absence from his Mini
doka claim, will be OF interest to
many readers OF The Journal:
I October a, 1904 you transmitted
the application OF Robert Zahalka,
who made II. f. No. 1899, July 20,
1904, for W4NW4, Sec. 50, T. 9 s.
R. % E., B. NJ, Idaho, for leave
of absence for one year, commence
ing October 24, 1904, from said
land.
The application was granted by
you sujected to the approval OF
this office.
Zahaka alleged in his duly cor
roborated affidavit that:
He established his residence up
on said land on the 18th of Octo-
Der, 1904; and that the improve
ments which he has placed upon
same are house, the dimensions
OF which are ten by twelve feet,
and that he has grubbed sage
brush off of considerable Of said
land. None of the land is under
cultivation, as there is no water In
this locality; the nearest water
being the Snake River, and on ac-
count of the great deph to which
well has to be dug before water
can be reached, it is impracticable
to place a well upon said land to
obtain water Also, the nearest
school is at 4 Instance of about
eighteen miles therefrom, and if he
were compelled to remain upon
this land with his family, his
children would be deprived OF the
advantages OF schooling.
The only grounds on which a
leave of absence can be granted
under Sec. 3. act of March 2, 1889
Us Stat, S54, is where by reason
of partial or total destruction or
failure of crops, sickness or other
unavoidable casualty, settler is
unable to secure from the land
settled upon a support for himself
or those depending on him.
Zahalka does not allege total
or partial destruction or failure OF
crops, or sickness, in support OF his
for leave OF absence
and the reasons assigned by him
cannot be regarded in the light OF |
"other unavoidable casualty,
which is the only other cause upon
which such applications are grant
ed; See case of Adele c. Leon
ard CD L. d.. 716.)
In view OF those facts the leave
Of absence of Robert Zahalka is
hereby rejected subjected to the
light of appeal.
