HOMESTEAD ENTRY
RULES MODIFIED

Washington, d. c., May 6.-The
secretary of the interior has put into
effect a number of important modifi-
cations of the regulations governing
the assignments of homestead entries
within irrigation projects.
A settler is now permitted to assign
TO any part of a farm unit with the
approval of the project engineer upon
filing with the local land office of a
plat OF amended farm unit approved
by the engineer with the other pa
pers. When one-half of the irrigable
area has been reclaimed the entry
man may make proof of reclamation
without regard t0 the number of
payments OF the building charge
which have been made and will re-
ceive evidence OF the acceptance OF
such proof. Provision is made for
recording mortgages which will fa-
ciitate the making of loans and at
the same time protect the money
lenders 1t is believed that the new
regulations will result in a great i'm
provement of the conditions on many
OF the government projects where the
settlers have been severely handicap
ped through lack of funds by reason
OF inability to borrow money on their
lands

MABLE WARNER is
FIGHTING FOR CROP

Another phase of the famous Mabel
Warner case is being tried out in the
circuit court this afternoon with
Judge Knowles of La Grande sitting
for Judge Phelps. The action today
is to determine the ownership of the
crop which was raised upon the j.
w. Young half section during the time
that Mrs. Warner had possession.
When the supreme court of the
state reversed Judge Beams decision
and thereby enjoined Mrs. Warner
and her husband from the land under
dispute, the crop was already in. A
preliminary action was taken before
Judge Knowles several months ago.
at which time A. w. Nye was appoint
ed as receiver and has since had
charge of the land and crop in ques-
ton. Now the case is being heard
upon its merits.
George Ness is a party to the suit,
inasmuch as he claims to have loaned
the Warmers several thousand dollars
on the crop and he is contending for
a return of this loan from the pro-
ceeds of the crop. He is being repre-
sented by Col. ]. II. Raley while
Johnson & Skrable are appearing for
the Warmers and Fee & Slater and
Frederick Steiwer for the heirs un-
der the accepted Will.
