Congress Startled by Revela-
ton in Special Report Sent
in Today.
MILLION DOLLARS ASKED
TO DETECT AND SUPPRESS
Six Pacific Coast States and Terri
tories of Arizona and Alaska Are
Involved-Land Said TO Be Valued
at More than Seventy-seven Million
Dollasss-Fewer Number of Cases
Under Investigation I'm Nevada,
But They Are Most Important.

Washington, Feb, 6.--Revelation OF
an astonishing number of cases of al
legged fraud on public lands of the
west is contained in a special report
sent TO Secretary Garfield by H. H.
Schwartz, chief of the field service of
the general land office.
The report was sent to congress to
support Garfield's request for an ap-
preparation of million dollars to de-
tect and prevent land fraud in the
six Pacific states, with Arizona and
Alaska territory. Cases involving
land valued at over $77,000,000 are
pending either in the federal courts
or are under investigation by the de-
partment of justice.
Chief Schwartz says there is good
reason to believe that every acre of
this laid. which is in the hands of
private individuals and corporations,
can be recovered.
Although there are fewer cases in
Nevada than in any other of the six
states. and two territories, the land
involved there is worth $40,375, 900,
more than half of the entire sum.
The principle involved in the Nevada
cases makes them the most import
ant cases that have come up for years.
If the government wins its conten-
ton, the Hartman lines will be forced
to disgorge thousands of acres of rich
land that were acquired from con-
gress when the late Senator Stanford
of California, secured the now IA
nous Central Pacific land grants by
the act of July 1862.

their statements were the same as
covered at the last trial. The defense
will attempt to prove that bad blood
existed between the two men previous
to the raw, and then Horseman, up to
this time, had tried to keep away
from the other man and that Nc
Broom had annoyed and followed the
defendant whenever he got a chance
and caused the defendant to fear for
his life on several occasions
The defense also claims that Nc
Broom had made vicious threats
against Horseman and that these
threats had been communicated to
the defendant by other parties. that
previous 10 the shooting McBroom
had made the remarks to his friends
that they had better be at the stock
mems meeting, which was to be held
at the school house, as he was going
to lick Horseman and that they had
better come if they wanted to see
some fun.
The prosecution Is making an ef-
fort to prove that bad blood existed
on both sides and that Horseman was
as much in the wrong as McBroom
was and that as for threats and vile
language, there was as much to be
heard on one side as on the other.
DR.. Garfield was the last witness up
to the time the paper went to press

Salem, Ore, Feb. 6.-"Tites to
water should be just as certain and
specific as titles to land, for in many
parts Of the state lands are worthless
without the water" says j. w. Nc
Culloch of Vale, district attorney of
Malheur county "Under the present
system 1t is long, expensive Job to
ascertain a claimants right to the
waters of a stream, and after the
right is determined. It is little value
because of the inadequate method of
enforcing the courts decree.
Besides, user of water never
knows when his litigation is over, as
there is nothing to prevent new par
ties from coming in and appropriate
ing the waters OF the stream and d.
verting them further up the stream,
thus depriving the old water user of
the waters, or compelling him to en-
ter into another expensive lawsuit in
relation to the same water that the
court was supposed to give him a de-
cree to.
IF the bill now before the legis-
lature becomes law, the title to wa
ter will become Just as definite and
certain as title to land, and when
water right is once determined II will
remain so for all time. 1t may be as
serted thata definite determination of
present water rights is of interest only
to the users of water, but this is
very narrow view Of the matter. as
the future development of the state
depends in a large measure upon a
definite determination of present wa
ter appropriations.
at is of vast Importance to private
parties, desiring to appropriate water,
TO Carey act people, and to the ma
'tional reclamation department to have
definite determination of present
water rights. If the further reclama-
'tion of lands is retarded or prohib- !
tied because of the uncertain condi- !
'tion Of our water laws, the entire state
is the loser thereby.
"The main advantages of the bill |
are: First, the quick and inexpensive
of determining the rights to
the use of water. and the certainty
that the right will be observed for all
time; and second, 1t provides a meth
cd Of determining what waters are
not appropriated, so that individuals
or the government may act advlsedly
In coming into the state"
