interior Department Grossly Misrep.
resented in Some Land Matters.

Helena, Mont, Aug. 21.-"As long
as any public lands remain to be ad.
ministered, there will be complaints"
declared Secretary of the Interior.
Richard A. Ballinger, speaking of the
recent discussion at Spokane and the
complaints concerning the reclamation
service.
Some of the settlers on the reclaim
alton projects" he continued, were
lSnorant of the conditions which
would confront them and they settled
on the land expecting to reap a for.
tune without the necessity of under.
standing irrigation methods. They
have been disillusioncd, and now de.
sire the government to release them
from their contracts and to reimburse
them for their expenditures.
Il realize there are some things in
the law governing the disposition of
public lands which ought to be modi.
fed and shall suggest such changes
in a report to congress. In the mean.
time, the established policy of the in.
terror department will continue.
There have been gross misrepre.
sensations regarding action of the de.
partment in certain matters.
