In passing the original desert land
act, it was the manifest purpose of
congress to hold out to the citizens
of the United States an inducement
to reclaim the waste and desert
lands of the public domain, and thus
render them subservient to the uses
of husbandry by process of irriga-
ton. This was to be accomplished
by such a system of bitches as would
carry'to the subdivision of the land.
capable of being reached by the sur
face flow, a supply of water such as,
when let out of the bitches by draw
gates or smaller bitches, might
spread over the accessible parts, and
stimulate Vegetable life. If the main
the acquired adequate supply of
water to irrigate the lands for the
purpose of cultivation in the ordi-
nary method of carrying it out over
the surface of the ground, we think
the reclamation contemplated by
statute was accomplished, without
showing that this appropriation was
followed by actual use and cultiva-
ton.
The amendatory act of March 3,
1891 does not require any different
character of reclamation, but simply
provides that an expenditure of one
eighth of the land embraced in the
entry must be cultivated and so
shown in the final proof.
