BEEN FIXED.

San Francisco.-The constitutional
tty of the reclamation act was upheld
Tuesday by the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, which sustained the
decision of the Idaho District Court in
favor of the government in the case Of
David Burley against the United
States.
Burley contended that the act which
permitted the government to condemn
his lands and water for irrigation pur-
poses was unconstitutional. on the
ground that the water stored in the
reservoirs sought to be taxed was not
wholly for public use. but for private,
as it was to be supplied private land
owners by the government.
The decision established the right of
the secretary of the interior to acquire,
by condemnation or otherwise, lands
and waters in the furtherance of any
reclamation project.
1t also extends the right of the gov
eminent to take over any needed pri-
vate water rights in carrying out the
provisions of the act.
1t directly affects the disbursement
of the $20.00O.O00 recently appropriat.
ed by Congress for reclamation pro
