bids entry upon lands embraced
within reclamation projects and for
which he has not filed the farm unit
plats, according to a ruling handed
down by that official some time ago,
and copies of which have been re-
ceived at the Boise land office. This
ruling is the sequel to the telegraphic
message received June 30 by the
register and receiver of the land
Office and published at that time
The secretary in his ruling says:
mo entry shall be made and no
entryman shall be permitted to go
upon lands reserved for irrigation
purposes until the secretary of the
interior shall have established the
unit acreage and fixed the water
charges and the date upon which
water can be applied and made public
announcement of the same.
"The register and receiver are in
structed that where settlements have
been effected in good faith on lands
in irrigation projects within your
land district prior to the passage OF
this act such settlements shall be
permitted within the usual time to
complete entry on the lands so
settled"

Dry farming II Fremont county is
coming to th8,ssont, over 500 acres
being in wheat in the vicinity of Rex
burg, according to Eugene L. Whit
ney, who returned today from a trip
to Fremont county. While in the
neighborhood of Rexburg, Mr.. Whit-
ney visited James w. Webster who
with neighbors. is busily engaged in
preparations for threshing 500 acres
of wheat, which will be cut in a short
time Speaking of the condition of
the wheat, Mr. Whitney stated he was
dumbfounded to learn that it has not
had a drop of rain or irrigation for
more than three months. and still
there was not a burned blade visible
in the field. The wheat, il is esti-
mated. will run between 40 and As
bushels to the acre, which is con-
sidered exceptionally good, especially
for dry farming land. Two big trac-
ton engines have been rugged up ia
run the threshers, they also being
used in running the discs earlier in
the season. The disc rugged up cuts
q swath 35 feet in width and is com
posed of 10 sections.

ment of $9S21.S6 given against him
by the federal court. At the same
time Judge Wolverton signed an or
der restraining Thomson from dispos-
ing of any of his property pending his
appearance before the court.
The action is the outcome of a suit
brought by Walter Neidner, receiver
Of the Farmers & Traders National

out of the conduct of that bank by
J w. Scriber, recently convicted in
the federal court.
When Scriber was handling the
bank he went into a timber deal with
a number of men, Thomson being in
terested in the deal. Thomson put
note in the bank as security for a sum
of money advanced by Scriber to car
ry on the deal Later agents of the
land office began an investigation of
conditions in the Eastern oregon dis
tr'ct. and Thomson persuaded Guy
NcCullock, assistant cashier of the
bank. to allow him to remove the note
from the bank After securing pos
session of the note Thomson refused
to pay it, Scriber forged similar

and this led to the unearthing of the
conditions surrounding the Thomson
note deal.

bank, brought suit to recover the note,

action. He was given a judgment for
