cheney of this method Of reclamation
the bureau of soils is understanding
and flooding tracts of land near Salt
Lake City, Utah, Fresno, CAL, North
Yakima, Wash, and Tempe, Ariz. The
experiments on these tracts have been
so successful that the bureau regards
it as proved beyond question that
thorough under-drainage and flooding
will reclaim the worst of alkali lands.
The cost of reclamation ranges from
$40 to 80 per ere.
at is difficult to realize the vast
Importance of this work to the arid
regions of the west. Of the $4,000, 900
acres of land in the west for which
there is sufficient water for irrigation
over 5000, 900 acres contain an excess
of alkali salts. The value of this land
if freed from alkali would be over
$500, 900, 000. 1t is estimated that land
values in the immediate vicinity Of
Salt Lake alone will be increased over
$3,000,O00 as a result of the bureaus

TO FRAUD.
New Order by General Land Office
Now in Force.

A new order promulgated by the
general land office would make it ap-
pear that the recent agitation in con
gress for a repeal Of some OF the
existing land laws and the repeated
charges of fraudulent final proofs
made by the advocates of repeal have
borne fruit in one direction at least.
Hereafter entrymen will net be per-
mitted to make their final proofs be-
fore United States commissioners and
clerks of the district court, except
in the presence of an inspector OF
special agent OF the land department.
Proofs in land offices will be permit
ted to be made as heretofore, the at
tendance of a special agent not being
required.
The new rule will not work a hard
ship upon entrymen, except that in
some cases it may delay hearing Of
final proof, as the special agent for
this state has a large territory to
cover n OnSlderaDle time OF neceS-
sity must elapse between his visits at
the different points where such proofs
may be offered. Notice will be given
when he will be at certain towns and
entrymen wishing to prove UP outside
of the local land offices must govern
themselves accordingly and arrange
for dates fer proving up to meet those
fixed by the agent.
1t is claimed that in the past com
missioners and clerks of court have
not been as particular as they should
have been in the admission of proof
and that persons have been permitted
to make final proofs who were not
legally entitled to- the same. 1t is to
do away with this and to see that
the exactions of the law are complied
with in every regard that the order
for the presence of a special agent
has been issued.

SHEEP sHEARERs STRIKE.
Declare War Against Ficekmasters
in Parts of Wyoming.

War is on between the National
Sheep Shearers union and the flock
masters in certain parts of Wyoming.
A circular letter has been issued
by r. C. Smith, secretary and treas
urere of the union, warning all shear
ers to keep away from Rawlins, Wal
colt, Fort Steele and Medicine Bow
until the strike now IN there can be
settled. The letter also asks for what
ever financial assistance local unions
ear give the strikers.
The trouble is in consequence OF
the opposition of the shearers to the
action of the Wyoming Wcolgrowers
association in making an arbitrary
price for shearing, which the union
considers to be too small. In the let
ter of the secretary-treasurer it is
said that the men on strike are liv'
ing on one meal a day and sleeping
in the open, and that those who have
money share it with their less fortu
nate brothers.
