George L. Stoning.
Sir: You are HEREBY notified that
the commissioner of the general land
office, by letter dated February 10,
1905, has suspended your D. L. E.,
No. 1915. for the swA nwA, WIZ

tp IA n, 26 e, and lot 8, sec 2, tip 10 n,
rs e, Mont. P. M, Judith land district,
on charges contained in report by
special agent.
The charges on which said entry is
suspended are summarized as follows:
ION January II, 1905, Special Ag-
ent E. S. Foley reported that he had
made personal examination of said
tract and found that no attempt had
been made to actually cultivate any
portion of the land; that the same
had been only partially reclaimed from
it's desert condition, and that until the
fall Of 1904 had not been fenced; that
while a portion of the land had been
irrigated, and the growth of the natur.
al grass increased to some extent
thereby, no crop of hay had ever been
harvested from the land, that the
same mad been used exclusively for
grazing purposes; that even If the EN-.
tryman had attempted to act in good
faith the water supply was insufficient
to properly reclaim the land"
You will be allowed thirty days
within which to file application in
this office for hearing, and your fail.
ure to apply for hearing within the
time specified will be taken as an ad.
mission of the truth of the charges
against said D. L. E. 1915, and the
same will be Cancelled.
Very Respectfully,
