that the supply is adequate for tina
purpose. While this showing, on its
face, indicates a compliance Will
law. the fact remains that the watei
supply. if any at all, is not sufficient
10 permanently reclaim the land.
The ownership of stock in a pro
jected irrigation ditch which does
not exist in fact, or the ownership
of a pump temporarily Installed, has
often been accepted, in connection
with such testimony, as proof of the
possession of water. Many alleged
irrigation bitches or reservoirs are
familiar to members of the Commits
sion which are utterly inadequate to
irrigate Il square rod, and upon the
strength of such works patent has
frequently then issued to $40 acres of
land.
Frauds committed through conven-
tional forms of perjury and through
lack of proper ~veritication of the
facts as to the reclamation of the
land Justify the taking of immediate
and radical steps in the revision of
the law. The law should absolutely
require an actual adequate water
supply. and the limits as to quantity
should be defined.
In short, the law should render i'm
possible the continuance Of the
practices by which desert lands
without water, without cultivation,
and without crops are passed into
the possession of claimants.
Grabbing Lands.
The great bulk Of the vacant pub
lie lands throughout the West are IN
suitable for cultivation under the
present known conditions of agricul-
ture, and so located that they can
not be reclaimed by irrigation. They
are, and probably always must be,
of chief value for grazing. There are
il is estimated. more than 100000
900 acres of public grazing land, an
approximately equal to One-fifth
the extent of the United States
proper. The exact limits can not be
set. for with seasoned changes large
areas of land which afford good
grazing one year are almost desert in
another. There are also vast tracts
of wooded timbered Land in which
grazing has much Importance. and

4 Correction,

The statement made in the last issue of the Gem, to the effect that we favor an open town, or legisla- ton permitting lewd women to ire quent the saloons and to loiter therein, was made without author ity and is absolutely untrue. On the contrary, we believe that wo- men of that class should be con fined to the district set aside for them, and that our city marshal should be compelled to see that they carried on their traffic within the license which is granted them.

not "halloo," but 'halloup." This, he
