.EVADE DESERT LAND ACT
BY CURIOUS METHODS.
Schemes Pointed Out
by Operator Who Has
Had Experience

Possibilities of mixing it with the
desert land act is a subject discussed
by w. A. Dupuy in financial publica-
tion. In the summary Mr.. Dupuy
states:
"The desert land act is a favorite
statute for fraudulent land entries at
present, and furnishes some of the
amusing instances of unlawful acqui
sition. Citizens may make a desert
land entry not to exceed 800 acres, Sc
curing title upon proof that they have
water sufficient to irrigate all the land;
that they have conducted water over
all of it; that they have actually culti-
waited one-eighth of it, and upon the
payment of SLIPS an acre to the govern
ment, and having expended IS an acre
in reclamation. The devices for fraud
ulently securing land under this act are
multitudinous
"In most of the remaining public land
areas the amount of desert land is
greatly out of proportion to the amount
of water available for its reclamation.
Ordinarily there will be a small stream
with water enough to irrigate from l to
per cent of the land within its gen
eral basin. Stockmen will acquire the
small amount of actual water, which is
called water right Then an employe
of the stockman will make a desert en-
try and the company will sell the wa
ter right to the claimant, who will
show its ownership and secure title. AS
soon as the title is secured the water
right is sold to another man, and an
other 800 acres are entered. The result
is that eventually all the grazing and
pasture lands come under the owner
ship of the stockman by means of the
single water right which has been ju-
diciously passed around
"The manner of securing final proof
that water has been conducted over all
the land is even more ingenious. One
of the cruder methods of bolstering
the oath at the time of making final
proof is that of plowing burrows in all
directions and running water in them
for single day at some time of plen-
tiful rainfall. In some instances the
water is conducted over the land in a
barrel on a wagon and thrown out
upon it with a dipper after which the
oath is taken. There is in Montana a
record of a case where the applicant
filed a beer bottle with water, tied it
to the tail of wagon, dragged it
about the premises and then took his
final OATH

Have you ever hoped to have a home

Haven't you wished that some friend
had taken you by the shoulder and
made you pick UP few acres at Holly
wood, Altadena or Sierra Madre before
they advanced from $500 up to $4,000 an
acre? Those places have passed for
ever from your easy reach.
The Western Empire, California s

district surpasses Altadena or even
Redlands in its richness and grandeur,
and is only fifteen miles from the
Chamber of Commerce building in Los
Angeles. Sunland's Monte Vista val
ley has the best climatic protection of
any district on the coast side of the
Sierras. Come and see it now.
