lamation of lands under the provi-
sions Of the Carey act The rules
are in pamphlet form and have just

Rule Is. Every application to en-
ter land shall be made In accordance

vided, the total amount entered shall
not exceed 100 acres; and, provided
further, that at least SO days must
elapse between the filing Of applica-
tions for lands under the same irriga-
ton system by such person. In such
case, should the lands entered lie con-
tiguous, residence upon either entry
will satisfy the requirements for
both; but the legal requirements
must be complied with on each re-
garding cultivation and reclamation.
