CANNOT FENCE DESERTS.
Attempt To Secure Right To Land
In This Way Incurs Liability
To Prosecution.

BOISE. April 5.-Assistant Com
missioner Proudft of the general
land Office has written a letter to the
registers and receivers in the various
land districts over the country, hold
ing that fencing on a desert entry
before survey cannot be considered
as a part of the Improvement ex-
cept when it becomes 'encessary to
protect the construction works or the
cultivated portion of the tract. Any
atempt to secure such preference
right to desert land by merely fenc-
ing, he states, would incur liability
to prosecutio nfor unlawful fencing
of public lands. His letter follows:
I'm reply to receivers letter of
March Z, 1910. you are informed that
the act of March 2S, 1898, (S5 stat.
52) provides that any individual
qualified to make entry of desert
lands who has prior to survey
taken possession Of tract of un-
surveyed desert land, and has re-
claimed or has in good faith COM
menced the reclamation thereof shall
have preference right to make
entry of such tract, etc.
I'm order to gain preference
right, therefore, person must take
such action as is necessary and re-
quired in order to eventually irri-
gate, reclaim and cultivate the land,
such as the construction of canals,
branch and lateral bitches. clearing
the ground and leyeling the same
when necessary. building dams or
reservoirs or other improvements of
like nature. Fencing the tract
would not, however, coe wmithin this
category. Fencing a deesrt claim
may only be considered in connection
with the reclamation OF the land
when it becomes necessary to protect
the construction works or the cult.
waited portion
An attempt. therefore. to secur,
preference right Of entry under sale
law by merely fencing a tract Of pub
lie land, would not only be unfavor
ably considered, but the party max
ing the attempt would incur a LA
bility to prosecution for unlawful.

POWER SITES
ARE WITHHELD
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR FILES
BLANKET WITHDRAWAL
TO AID LEGISLATION.
IL Is Expected That Much of the Area
WIN BE Restored To Entry in Near
Future-Settlers Affected May Re-
ceive Scrip In Lieu of Holdings.

Another blanket withdrawal Of
lands along the Snake river for power
purposes was filed at the United
States land Office yesterday. says the
Statesman, supplementing a recent
withdrawal of similar character and
tieing up virtually all the lands in the
state available for this purpose, as
well as a large area which is incl
dentally withdrawn from all forms of
entry, until such time as the sites
the government seeks to conserve
have been selected The withdrawal
is lin the aid Of proposed legisla-
tion,' and covers land In the Boise.
HALEY and Blackfoot districts
The withdrawal takes precedence
over all entries upon any of the land
included which cannot go to patent
during its pendency and precludes the
initiation of claims Of any kind
whether under the homestead. desert
or mineral laws.
In the Bose district the land ex-
tends along the river quarter of
mile to one-half mile in width on
either side. and through townships
as follows: Township II South.

Settlers affected by the with
drawal, whose lands shall be per-
manently included in such reaerva-
tions, will in all probability it is
stated, receive scrip in lieu Of their
holdings
The action Of Secretary Ballinger is
regarded as a step in paving the way
for power conservation and the fact
that such large area has been
Withdrawn does not mean that ali
of this land is to be withheld until
such time as the government can send
its engineers into the field for the
purpose of determining what sites are
most advantageous and afford the
best opportunities for producing the
greatest amount of power at a mimi
mum expense of construction.
Legislation viii be necessary to
make such Withdrawals permanent, as
well as to authorize the issuance Of
scrip to settlers whose claims may be
affected

LITTLE CAMAs WATER
To BE Turned Into Long Tom Reser-
voir This Year.

Through the efforts of o. e. Can
non. receiver of the irrigation system,
the canal and tunnel leading from
Little Camas to Long Tom has been
thoroughly repaired and cleaned dur
ing the past month. This will per-
nit all the water from Little Camas
being carried to Long Tom and used
for irrigation this season.
When one considers that this adds
sufficient water to the usual supply
to irrigate over 5000 acres of land,
it will be realized that all our lands
under cultivation will have sufficient
water this year.
Mr.. Cannon is placing the system
in first-class condition and there
should be occasion for every little

Senator Bailey, who has been con-
ducting the store of Bailey-Siffert-

of three years. has decided to en-
tirely close out the stock at sale

moved into town over three years

tenants on his Little Camas ranch he
has decided to return where he feels
he will be more cotented and salts
fed
He expects to close his business
