HOMESTEAD FILINGS
 LOCAL LAND OFFICE
Steady Stream of Applications Re ceived-New Rules of Practice
 in Effect.

| Five or six homestead filings a
 day, on the average. are being made
 through the Phoenix land office. The
 officials are totally at a loss to ex-
 plain the unusual activity. The rush
 is no sudden. spasmodic affair. but
 continues steady. day after day. A number of the homestead filings
 are being made on land lying just
 outside the Salt river reservoir dis
 trict. There seems to be a dim hope
 on the part of some, that their claims
 will be included in the district at
 some future time, when it is demon strated that the reservoir impounds
 more than sufficient water to irrigate
 the 250.O00 acres already included
 Others expect to pump water or try dry farming. There is a widespread. belief that under improved methods of cultivation much Arizona land now regarded as worthless will be made productive.
 About fifteen homesteaders who made their filings after June 25. 1910, have made appeals to have their fil- ings declared legal. On that date congress passed law forbidding further homesteading within the reservoir district. but before anything was known locally about the new statute some fifteen additional appli- cations had been filed. Under a lit- eral interpretation of the law their filings are illegal and they have no right to the land. Unless they are able to show cause why they should not be deprived of their land great hardship will be worked on some. who have spent considerable money to ac- quire title and. in some cases. on inn provements. It is believed that their cases will ultimately reach the court of equitable adjudication. which is composed of the secretary of the in- terior. commissioner of the general land office and attorney general. and was established by congress to ad- indicate disputes between land claim ants and the government.
 The new rules of practice recently for government land of- fices went into effect yesterday. Un- der these rules the promiscuous filing of contests is stopped. No longer may one contest a filing unless he is a qualified entrant and has some claim to the land in question.

new apostolic delegate will be delayed
until after the coming consistory, when
Cardinal Falconio will discuss the mat
ter with the papal secretary. Among the
candidates mentioned for the office Mgr.
Agius, apostolic delegate at Manila, Is
said to be favored.
