hearing Of the case OF Wilson VS..
Wanner it was ruled It could not be
allowed. The quit-claim. a certi-
fed copy of which is attached to the
petition, shows it runs to both
Hughes and Laid. 1t was further
more shown, during the discussion
of this matter. that neither Hughes
nor Ladd was qualified to make a
desert land entry. It was alleged
by the attorney for Wilson that these
men both held desert land entries.
and the point was admitted by the
attorney for the latter The records
of this Office show that they did not
hold such entries at that time
'This petition is based on the
theory that Hughes and Laid had
secured such an interest in this land
as would entitle them to intervene
to defend the entry. It is shown
in the papers that they took the
assignments with knowledge of the
contest, but, believing the entry
could be defended, were willing to
face the proceedings. We are salts
fed that under different conditions,
these men might have been per-
mitted to intervene. We do not
know to what extent tarding in
desert land assignments is author,
lied, trading in them necessarily fol-
lows.
I'm the case of Gustave Herder,
Serial No. OS23, arising in this
Office. it was theoretically held that
an assignment in balnk was valid.
Such assignments are made for the
purpose OF transferring the entry
to some person, generally one who
has not yet been secured as pur-
chaser. The principle recognized
by that decision would seem to au-
thorize dealers or middlemen to

Office in a decision handed down
yesterday in the case of Frank z.
Wilson VS.. Billie wanner yesterday
recognized the righ Of middlemen to
traffic in assignments of desert lands,
but deny the right of John T. Hughes
and John Ladd to intervene in the
contest on the ground that they
claimed to occupy the position of
assignees and neither was qualified
to make an entry. The allegations
made by Hughes and Wanner were
in collision and that Wanner was to
abandon his contest. which he did.
No defense was made of the entry
after the intervenors were ruled out.
The contest was initiated by Will
son April 27, 1909 On August 26
Hughes and Ladd filed a petition in
in PREVENTION. They set forth in
substance that on May %, 1909. they
entered into a contract with Wan
ner 20 sell them an assignment for
a part of the land embraced in the
entry, and that they had paid him
$1,000 on the contract June IS,
1909. and agreed to pay him $4,000
more. 1t was further alleged that
deed for this tract, executed to
them on May 25. 1909. was placed
in escrow with w. c. HOWE and the
one executed on June IS, 1909, for
the remainder of the entry, was
placed in escrow with Maurice Myers.
A copy of the deed, placed in escrow
with w. c. HOWE was attached to
the petition in Intervention.
Intervention Denied.
The decision of the register and
receiver is / npart as follows:
when this petition in interven-
ton was taken up at the time of the

handle assignments. IL would neces-'
sariIy follow. that if that is true. that
such agent or middleman might
make a payment on a contract for an
assignment and have the assignment
eventually made to some person,
whom he would designate. Taking
this view of the matter, this office
would have been willing to have ad-
mitted this Intervention, had Hughes
and Laid shown that they were in
the position to deliver the entries,
through good and sufficient assign
ment, to some other person or per-
sons. They. however, appeared be-
fort this Office as assignees. Neither
was qualified to make an entry and
there was no showing that their
proceedings so far had been merely
step in the transfer of the entry.
The deed ran to both of them, and
under such condition. could not be
recognized in the land Office. We
were thus presented by what seemed
to be an insuperable fact that these
men were relying upon an assignment
already fully Accomplished That
assignment was one that could not
be perfected. and for that reason,
their petition in Intervention was de-
MED.
1.-The testimony submitted by Will
son against the entry is sufficient to
warrant it's cancellation. 1t is not
necessary at this time, however, to
discuss that point, since this entry
was relinquished on December ?.
1909. and the land is now being held
open pending determination of the
rights of the parties to these pro-
ceedings."
A junior contest, instituted by E.
J. Colthrop against the same entry,
it is held, should be dismissed.

Reclamation Service.

"The act approved June II, 1902,
known as the reclamation act, clothes
the secretary of the interior with
broad discretion in the construction
of irrigation works and the disburse-
ment of the reclamation fund. into
which fund had been paid, up to and
including June 80. 1908. the total
sum of S50.661.5 49.27, and the net
investments from which in reclama-
ton works on June 30. 1909. amount
ed to the sum Of $45,75791S.94. The
cash receipts from water right
charges to June 80. 1909, were:
Building charges. $299,S41.22; op-
GRAFTON and maintenance charges,
$70,S25,8S; total. $370.667.1O. Be
cause of the magnitude of the work
and the desirability of making plans
far in advance. it has been found
necessary to make estimates of the
amounts that will become available
before the actual receipts in the fund
to June 80. 1909. are S5S.5S2.14O.66
Upon this basis, and estimated re-
ceipts which viii become available be-
fore December 81. 1910, S5,528.O5O
have been allotted for reclamation
purposes to December 81, 1909.
Follows Borah's uggestions.
There is only one other suggestion
made by Senator Borah that has
been incorporated in the secretary's
report, namely that congress make
special appropriation for surveying
railroad lands within forest reserves
so that these areas may be forced to
bear their just share of taxation. The
secretary finds that this railroad land
now exempt from taxation. because
unsurveyed. would pay an annual ia,
Of approximately 100000 if survey
ed. He strongly urges an appropria
ton for this purpose.

tions, the report was entirely fre'

extensive home life on the farm.
There is another side to this ques-
ton also. More American farmers
are crossing the border this fall into
Canada than ever before. One Of
our great newspapers estimates that
seventy thousand farmers will go to
Canada to live this fall and will take
with them seventy million dollars
in cash and effects. We can i'll af-
ford to lose these people, among the
very best Of our citizenship, and the
wealth which they take with them
both in dollars and muscle and brain.
1t is the duty of this government to
meet this great principle of conser-
walton not in a theoretical way but
in a practical way and this is an in
stance where the wisdom of congress
may well be tested upon this subject.
If inducement can be held out to help
persuade the farmer to remain here
and develop our great natural re-
sources and utilize our agricultural
lands we should do so.

troversy it was straight forward,

were expecting something sensation
al were domed to disappointment.

no opportunity for them to be juggl-

FAVORS BORAH'S
BOND ISSUE
BALLINGER RECOMMENDS APP
PRECIPITATION FOR COMPILE
TON OF PROJECTS.
senator Borah VIII Introduce Meas
nre Before Congress Early in
the Coming Session of Our Law
Trainers At Washington, ID. c.

Statesman That there should be
a national bond issue of 100000,
600, to be used for work on the irri-
CATION projects of the west, was the
recommendation made by Secretary
Ballinger in his annual report to the
president, made public on November
28. The recommendation is a SPLEEN
did endorsement of the work that
Senator W. E. Borah has been doing
in the interest of the bond issue, be-
ing in accord with the plan proposed
by the senator. The recommendation
Of the secretary is of much import
ance and will have considerable in
fiuence in securing the authorization
of the bond issue.
Regarding the bond issue, the re-
port says:
I'm view of the Importance of
speedy completion of existing pro-
jects and thei rproper extension, and
of the necessity in 1912 of an adj
justment between the state by which
the major portion of the funds aris-
ing from the sale of public lands
within each state and territory shall
have been expended so far as practi-
cable within such state or territory,
and in view of the Importance of
making a beneficial use of waters al
ready appropriated or capable of APP
preparation to which rights may be
lost for non-use. believe an urgent
appeal should be made to congress
to authorize the issuance of certih-
Gates of Indebtedness or Of bonds
against the reclamation fund, to an
aggregate of not exceeding 100000
600, or so much thereof as may be
needed. These certificates or bonds
should be sold by the treasurer of
the United States from time to time
as may be required by the secretary
Of the interior and the proceeds
placed to the credit of the fund. They
chould be redeemable on call within
a period of not exceeding ten years
after issuance. The proceeds should
be devoted to the completion of feas-
ible existing projects and the con-
struction of any feasible extensions
thereof. and so much thereof as may
be needed should be devoted to the
construction Of new projects in the
states and territories in which the
expenditures have not met the re-
quirements of section 9 of the act of
June II, 1902. This is a reafiirm-
ance of my recommendation to you
from the field August 2, 1909.
Among other amendments. an
amendment to permit the assign
ment of homestead entries. within
projects. after entrymen have com
pleted five years residence and cul-
tivation and made proof thereof. is
recommended.
