AN IMPORTANT DECISION


he has not sold nor agreed to sell, the land entered.
 The desert land act of March 8, 1877 (19 Stat, 377,) limits the party claim ing hereunder, to one entry. The reg ulation of this office, under that act, emphasize the duty of the claimant to secure water right prior to entry, stating that failure to secure such is at his own risk, in view of the restric- tion of the statute. See circular of January 25, 1904, page 39, paragraph 10.
 Following this construction of the law, the application of Sowles to make second entry is hereby rejected, sub- ject to appeal in sixty days.
 So notify him, observing circular of March 1, 1900 (29 L. D., 649.) His ad dress is given as Imperial, California.
 Very respectfully,
 w. A. Richards, Commissioner.
 From the above it can be seen that those who adopt the course of making their desert entries without first arrang- ing for the delivery of their water sup ply, should be careful to ascertain that water can be had when needed, even if it's delivery is not arranged for in ad- vance, as in such a case the entryman takes all the chances. Section 10, page 39 of the circular of January 25, 1904, issued by the U. $. Land Office, reads as follows:
 "Persons making desert land entries must acquire clear right to the use of sufficient water for the purpose of irri- gating the whole of the land, and of keeping it permanently irrigated. A person who makes desert land entry before he has secured water right, does so at his own risk and as one entry exhausts his right of entry, such right can not be restored, or again exercised because of failure to obtain water to irrigate the land selected by him."
