CAN'T i! Get
MONEY BACK
Recent Law to Help Home
SteaderS Now Ruled
imperative

An entryman who has had the mis-
fortune to be compelled to pay on final
proof more than he should have paid
for his land is still out and injured, al
though a bill passed at the last session
Of congress presumably to relieve just
such cases The bill was the act Of
March 2. 1907. but concerning it the de-
partment has just issued circular say
ing that it was unfortunately in opera
tive.
The text of the above mentioned act
together with the comment of the com =
missioner is as follows
BE 1t enac ted That in all
cases in which homestead entrymen
upon final proof or eommutation shall
have been required to pay more than
the lawful purchase money for their
lands, the secretary of the interior shall
cause the excess to be repaid TO the en-
tryman or to his heirs or assigns"
AS the act does not in specific terms
declare an appropriation to be made, y
was thought that its provisions might
prove imperative, and on March A. 1907
the secretary of the interior was re-
quested to ask the comptroller Of the
treasury to say whether or not repay
ments can be made under the act
The comptroller decided on March 22
1907, that section 8 If the act Of JuntI
30. 1906 GA stat, 76D, prohibits con-
STRUNG the act of March ?. 1907 (supra)
to make an appropriation, and stated
% fatt q n.
plicable to the object provided for there
in and that the repayment Of the ex-
cess of purchase money referred to In
said act is not authorized.
! You will, therefore, furnish copy oi
| this circular in answer to any inquiries
regarding the act in question, and will
/ advise all parties who contemplate films
| claims under the act that by so doins
| they will. for the present at least, incul
| a useless expense.

More Arteslan Wells Projected.

Since the artesian flow obtained by
the, o. r. & N. company in this city
there is scarcely vicinity within
the valley but Is think more or less
of sinkink weyys. ID. N. Hunt, who
has sank two Of the deepest wells in
the valley, the McConnny well. six
miles east of this city, S62 feet deep,
and the Alicel we'll, which Is 8SS feet
deep, states In his opinion that wa
ter can be secured in the valley any
where, but at greater depth than
in La Grande or near the foothills.
The first mentioned well, six-inch
according to the statement of Mr..
Mcconnell cost about $4,000. The
Alicel we'll cost s2100. This well
started in with a seven-inch casing.
Mr.. Hunt Is of the opinion that 10
inch we'll can be driven to a depth of
1000 feet, properly cased. for about
$500 to $4,000. II the city can Sc
cure such a well for this amount of
money, In view Of what the Q. r. &
n. has accomplished. there should be
no time lost In making the expert
ment. Two 10-inch wells with flow
in proportion to the railroad well,
would supply the city for many
years, and one 10-inch well sunk a
little deeper might do so.-La Grande
