THE. IMPERIAL RESURVEY Its Delay A Serious Detriment To The
 Valley
Land Titles Held Up On Technical Grounds. Which Reads The
 Development Of The Imperial Country

 ment of Imperial Valley at the present time, and that is the muddle in which the land department has gotten the matter of issuing final proof receipts and land patents.
 Briefly stated, the situation is as fol- lows: It is supposed that in 1856 or ther eabouts, a survey was made of the lands in Imperial Valley by the United States government.
 At any rate maps were made and filed in the land office purporting to represent the lands in this Valley. If this survey was ever actually made, the work was so imperfectly done that it was impossi- ble to find any trace of it afterwards. At any rate, when the Imperial Land Company took up the work of locating settlers in this Valley in 1900 they were unable to find any remains of the government survey in the lands covered by the Imperial Water Go. No. 1.
 So they began at known government corner on the Mexican boundary and surveyed out the lands in Imperial Water Company No. l, according to the old government field notes, and they were filed on in the government land office at Los Angeles, by using the num- bers in rotation from the starting point on the Mexican boundary, and locating on the lands as determined by the sur vey of the Imperial Land Company.
 If the old government survey of 1856 had been correct, this method would have been correct, but it was found later that there were serious discrepancies in the old government survey. During the time the Imperial Land Company were surveying the lands between the Salton river and New river, the Sunset Com mercal Company, of which Mir. G. w. Bothwell was the moving spirit, was surveying on the Eastside in Imperial Water Company Mo- 5.
 Mir. Boutwell, ran lines from the old sea beach to the Salton channel in a number of places and by system little short of inspiration, discovered the trouble of the old government survey. In his part of the country there was a rather uniform overrun in the survey of about 22O feet to the mile, making the sections $500 feet square or 700 acres to the section.
 MT. Bothwell adopted the plan of first laying out township, according to what in his judgment would correspond with the old government survey, and then beginning at the southeast corner of the tract thus blocked out and running out six miles square, thus placing the excess or surplus land on the north and west sides of his township.
 In this way each township has, in addition to it's six miles square, strip about one-half mile wide along the north and west sides, which can not be gotten into the map.
 For that reason the people of No. 5 and No. are familiar with the excess strips between their townships. Quite few ofthe best ranches in the Valley are on this excess strip, and the owners

 Well, the Congress passed the law promptly, and the people of the Vallel naturally thought that now the matter would soon receive attention, their lant numb bers be corrected and the govern ment make amends for their laxity il accepting and making official an errone ous and fraudulent survey in 1856.
 Time wore on, as it always does, hop' springing eternal in the breasts of th' Imperial Valley settlers, until finally il July, 1903, it was announced that th' cont ract had been let, and as soon a ccol weather set in the work would b speedily done.
 About December, 1903, Mir. Henderson and MT. Friel, with their corps of assist ants arrived in the Valley and begal the work. They then announced tha all they had was contract to run th township lines, that the subdivision lines would be run later.
 Messrs. Henderson and Friel com pleted their work about February, 1904 and took their departure. Time wore on again until some time last Novem Der Mir. w. o. Owen, the examiner of sur veys came to inspect the work of Messrs Friel and Henderson.
 He made an examination then, anC went away, but has since returned ano made second examination, and it il now reported that the land departmen has rejected the surveys made by Messrs Friel and Henderson, and that we ar, back where we were three years ago, SC far as progress toward solution of the matter is concerned.
 In the meantime, however, while thi Friel- Henderson work was in existenc, all the lands in this territory that is tt be resurveyed, has been withdrawn fl on final entry.
 So that the entryman who has takel up tract of this land, filed on. th' mum bers which would have propcrl, described it if the old government sur vey had not been fraud, and has com piled with the public land laws in ever, respect, and is entitled to make fina proof on said land and receive paten for it, finds himself com pelled to sub init his proofs and have his final re ceipt withheld and all title except hi physical possession of the land denie, him by the government on account 0 this muddle.
 As result of this state of affair many people whose property would easily be worth ten thousand dollars i the government would only give then evidence of ownership find themselves after having put in three or four year of hard work and five thousand dol lars in money, with property that cal not be used as an asset in any fnanca institution in the country. During th' past two weeks our Valley has beer visited by a number of bankers an, men who control large amounts 0 money Cor loan on real estate, and to man they were free to say that all the, saw in the way of loaning a large amount of money in this Valley, wal the incomplete condition of our lanC Al T,

 as they are not on the map.
 While Mir. Boutwell, was making his discoveries on the Eastside concerning the errors and inaccuracies ill the old government, the Imperial Land Com pany was finding out practically the same thing in the territory between the Salton and New rivers.
 They discovered that when they had used up the map, and surveyed all the lands accounted for oil the United States records they were still more than two miles away from the place they should be to meet the Bothwell survey. They had crowded all the excess or over run into one strip instead of putting fringe of onehalf mile wide around every township as Mr.. Bothwell done on the Eastside.
 When these errors were discovered, it was too late to correct them, for great deal of the land was already entered, so a bill was introduced in Congress and
 
 this survey and protection of the set tiers.
 This bill was enacted into law on July l, 1902, and reads as follows: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of the Interior be, and the same is hereby, authorized and cause to be made, a resurvey of the lands of San Diego county, in the state of California, embraced il. and consisting of the tier of townships thirteen, fourteen, fifteen and sixteen south of ranges eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen and sixteen east, and the fractional town ship seventeen south of ranges fifteen and sixteen east, all of San Bernardino base and meridian, and all rules and regulations of the Interior Department requiring petitions from all settlers of said townships asking for said resurvey and agreement to abide by the results of the same, so far as these lands are concerned, are hereby abrogated. Pro- vided, that nothing herein contained shall be so construed to impair the present bona fide claim of any actual occupant of any of said l.lnds, to the lands so occupied."
 By the terms of this bill it will be Seen that the occupants of these lands who were complying with the public land laws to such an extent as to be bona fide occupants, would be protected in their claim and occupation of said land. This would apply to the man on excess land, who finding all the num- bers in his township filed on and cou. pie of thousand acres of good land left, would take possession of and improve some of it, as well as to his neigh bor who got to the land office first and was lucky enough to find a vacant number to file on.
 As result of the muddle into which matters were thus entangled, we have all kinds of anomalous conditions in land locations. The question in deter mining how to find mans farm is not
