no right whatever. The rights OF
such second settler being dependent
entirely upon his individual acts of
settlement.
Prior to the act of Aug. 9th, 1912.
the settlement right to unsurveyed
land did not attach to more than 100
acres.
An entry may not include lands
partly subject. and partly not subject
to the provisions of the reclamation
act. Citinp Laurel A. Shell (3o L. D.
soe).
Rule 10 of circular (37 L. D. 659,
providing for amendment of entries
should not be limited to a period of
one year from making of the entry.
Irrigability of land is the essential
feature in, entry of arid lands for the
purpose of reclamation. If there can
be no irrigation owing to grades be-
ing impractic the purpose OF the
entry is defeated and works surprise
upon the entryman against which he
is entitled to relief, if he has used
reasonable diligence.
Where the local land office has er-
roneously allowed an entry-even
though the entryman in good faith
has spent all of his means in I'M
proving the land-nevertheless the
entry should be cancelled.
Though such errors are unfortu-
nate, sometimes causing the entryman
heavy expense and hardship, ques-
tions involving the right to public
lands must be decided according to
the law and established rules govern
inc the same.
The purpose of rules 1 or of the
rules of practice was to insure good
| faith upon the part of the contestant
A contest should not abate simply
because the contestant subsequently

under that law. Citing Holmes VS.
Kinsey Gao l.. d. $50.
Mere error of judgment upon the
part of timber or stone applicant
in swearing that the land applied for
is best fitted for its timber and stone,
is not a sufficient ground for refusing
repayment under the act of March
| Goth, 1908, even when it is determined
after a hearing that the land is agri-
cultural in character.
Where a timber and stone appli-
cant examined the land applied for
within 30 days prior to the filing. OF
his application, a showing OF further
examination by the applicant is not
REQUIRED.
Where new Legislation is passed
which may affect pending cases before
the secretary on appeal from the
commissioner, such cases will be re-
manded to the commissioner for fur
ther consideration under existing
statutes.

in preparing to entertain the delegates
at the convention to be held here in
April.
A. short time ago they were notified
that the time and place of meeting
had been changed from April to Au-

change came after they had begun pre-
pairing for the convention and is al
legged to have been the order of the
executive committee of the state or

have been disappointed, committee
was appointed to express the dissatis-
faction of the Jasper Baptist Young

.O'NEAL ASKS AID FOR
FLOOD SUFFERERS
Appeals to Alabamians to
Help Victims of Ohio and
Indiana Floods

Montgomery, March &.-(special)-
Governor o'Neal today issued an appeal
to the people of Alabama to make contri-
buttons to aid in the relief of the flood
sufferers in Ohio and Indiana. The gov
ernor declared in bis appeal that the dis
aster caused by the heavy floods had as
sumed the proportions of a national ca
lamity
The governor constituted the mayor or
chief executive officer of every city, town
or village in the state an agent to receive
contributions
The governors appeal is as follows:
"The terrible foods in Ohio and In
diana have exacted as their toll an ap-
village in the state an agent to receive
ty and infinite suffering. This disaster,
as the President states, has assumed the
proportions of a national calamity. 1t
has overtaxed the capacity of the states
affected to furnish Sufficient aid. and In
response to the request Of the chairman
of the National Relief board of the Amer
lean Red Cross, I most earnestly appeal
to all classes of our people whose conn
passion and sympathy have been quick
ened by the gruesome details of the suf-
fering and death wrought by these floods
to make immediate contributions to aid
in the work of relief.
Il hereby constitute the mayors or chief
executive officer bf every city, town or
village in the state an agent tot receive
contributions, and which contributions
can be sent to Hon. w. p. G.. Harding at
Birmingham, who will act as state treas
urer for the Red Cross.
