 Under the act cited the secretary authorized to withdraw land from the public domain in two forms The first form pro- vdes for the withdrawal of land that be needed the scon and maintenance of irrigation works The second form embraces land supposed to be used for the construction and maintenance irrigation works but which may be irrigated from such works
