From the Secretary Of Interior

Alamosa. Colo, Dec. 24th, 1906
To the people of the San Luis
valley:
The accompanying letter from
the honorable secretary of the in
terror is self explanatory.
| have not published it before
for the reason that / was under the
impression that the people of
the valley We're fully aware of the
action of the department, but re-
cent inquiries from various parts
of the valley have convinced me to
the contrary. have a copy of the
order of revocation, but it is more
voluminous, and this letter states
the substance of it.
Answering those who ask why
the local land office has not been
notified. of the revoking order, |
will say, the local land offices were
never required to reject filings,
but, on the contrary, We're, during
the entire existence of the obnox-
ious order, allowed to receive and
file applications and forward them
to Washington, where they were
either pigeon-holed or refused up
on account of the order of Deem
Der ), 1896.
Those who now make filings for
reservoir sites and ditch rights of
way should be careful to comply
with the requirements of the de-
partment in every particular, and
should also show to the depart
ment by affidavits, as may easily be
done, existing facts which will
prove conclusively that the use of
Rio Grande waters for irrigation
in this valley will not injuriously
affect the governments reclamation
project lower down the river.
The facts which | brought be-
fore the department in argument
can and should be presented by
affidavit before these applications
are passed on by the director Of
the geological survey.
Very Respectfully,
CHARLES G. HoLBRooK.
