CHESTERFIELD DAM
IS DECLARED SAFE
Trio of Engineers Hold Re
ports of Danger to Farm
ers Unfounded.

That there is no cause for alarm re-
eardinc the condition OF the Chester
field dam OF the Portneuf Marsh Valley
Irrigation company, located about forty
miles east of Pocatello, Idaho, is in
dicated by report received yesterday
afternoon at the chief engineer s Office
of the Oregon Short Line. The report
was made by the state engineer o!
Idaho, project company engineer and
an engineer of the railroad company,
The Investigation of the dam S con.
dition followed published report of
rumors TO the effect that the dam is In
an unsafe condition, and that farmers
OF the project were prepared TO leave
at a minute 5 notice 10 case the dam
broke. After stating that under
reasonable care there need be no ap-
prchcnsion regarding this dam, the re-
port was as follows:
This investigation showed that
there is no couse in any way for
alarm as to the safety of this
dam, and that tho construction OF
tho dam was handled in n first
class manner, and that the false
reports which have. been circulated
in regard TO the dam were started
by persons antagonistic TO the IL
rigation company aud who have
had some dlncrenccS ana uls'
putes as TO their right TO run water
down the Portneuf river from the
conservation dam to the diversion
dam, which was constructed under
authority OF the state of Idaho.
The maximum run-of of the
Portneuf, according to the highest
reading Of the government gauge,
is said to be about sixty second
feet, while the conduit of the
Portneuf~ Marsh Valley Irrigation
carry 800 second feet from the
reservoir, or about five times as
much water as the government
gauge shows the maximum run
off into this reservoir. Also, IN
addition to that, there is thirty
six-foot spillway, six feet high, the
bottom of which is six feet below
the crest of the dam, so that the
danger of a run-off causing any
considerable flow of water through
the spillway is very remote,
especially with the food gates
oncned to their capacitv.

SIMILAR CASE DECIDED

BY seating Blair Lee, as senator
from Maryland. the United States sen
ate has established a precedent whlcl
means that Utah may elect United
States senator by popular vote next
fall, without the necessity of passing
any laws TO put in operation the
amendment to the United States con
stitution providing for such elections
After the amendment making cleo
tions of United States senators by vote
of the people was proclaimed part Of
the constitution it was thought by
some that before it could become
operative the several states must enact
laws in conformity with the amend
ncnt, providing for the machinery OF
elections In Maryland there was
vacancy caused by the death OF Sena'
tor Issdor Rayner. After the gov
ernor had appointed Senator jackson

became part of the federal constitu-
ton. Governor Goldsborongh de:

Attorney Generals View.

Attorney General Albert Il, Barne
expressed it as his opinion that the ac
ton of the. senate IN the Lee cas-
would probably govern other cases of
like character, including Utah: II
said.
] have not followed the Mary
land case closely enough to know
whether or not the situation there
was parallel to the situation in
Utah.
Ny opinion has been that we
needed modus operandi in order
20 proceed with the popular cleo
tion of United States senators. We
have no law here governing such
procedure, and had thought that
il would be necessary for congress
or the states to pass laws that
would make the amendment
operative.
However, congress is a law un-
10 itself, and if it has decided that
Maryland does not need legislation
TO make the direct election amend
ment operative, it will of course
follow that such legislation is not
necessary in Utah. / was Of the
opinion that congress would pass
an act governing the situation, but
IT may be that one is unnecessary

Decision Is Made.

Al the election Blair Lee was chosen
United States senator. When he came
TO take his seat in the senate the ques.
tiou was raised as to the regularity OF
the election, inasmuch as no Mary
land statute provided for the election
of United States senator IN this man
ner. The senate, however, yesterday,
3y a large majority, decided that Lee
was entitled TO his seat, and that the
election was regular.
Utah, like Maryland, has no law pro-
viding for the direct election of a
United States senator, and 1t was
feared by some that special session
of the state legislature would be neces-
sary in order to pass q law making the
amendment to the federal constitution
operative Tho decision Of the senate
would seem to settle the question. If
this precedent is followed. and it seems
more than likely that il will be, the
governor of Utah is empowered without
additional legislation to declare that
the Office of United States senator shall
bc included among those to be filed at
the general election next fall, and the
senator then chosen will be seated.

HOMESTEAD ENTRIES
An Act Providing for Second
Homestead and Desert
Land Entries
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
: 81. GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
Washington. September 26, 1914

washington. september 70, l9l4
REGISTERS AND RECEIVERS,
United States Land Offices.
SiRs:-Yom attention is directed
to the act of Congress, approved
September 5, 1914 Public, No. 194)
entitled, An act providing for sec,
ond homestead and desert-land en-
tries" a copy of which is hereto ap,
pended. Said act governs the dis
position of every application for
second homestead or desert.land
entry, where the applicant, at any
time before: fling same, had made
an entry, or entries, of the same
character, but failed to perfect same,
2. The question whether the, first
entry, or entries, were made before
or after the passage of the act is
entirely immaterial, Moreover, it
will be seen that the act imposes
upon the Land Department the duty
of passing upon the good faith of
the applicant, there being no hard
and fast provision, as in the act of
February3, 1911, limiting its benefits
to a clearly defined class of persons.
In order that there may be uniform
ity of rulings thereon, no applica-
tions will be allowed by the local Of
ficers on their own initiative, but
all will be forwarded, to the General
Land Office for consideration.
3. In order that the General Land
Office may properly pass upon the
right of an applicant for SECOND en-
try. he must (besides filing in the
proper local office an application to
enter specific tracD furnish his
affidavit showing the following facts:
3 la) Data from which his first
entry (or entries) may be identified,
preferably its series and number, as
well as a description of the tract by
section, township and range.
: (b) What examination of the
land and what inquiries as to its
character he made prior to filing
his previous application (or applica-
tions) for entry and, in case of desert
land entries, what reason he had to
believe that the required proportion
of the tracts could be reclaimed by
him through Irrigation d.
: (c) With reference to a home
stead entry, whether he established
residence upon the tract, and, if so,
how long he lived there and what
cultivation he effected; as to desert
land entry, whether he took possess
sion of the tract, and, if so, how
long he continued to exercise acts
of ownership thereover.
I'D What improvements, if any,
he made upon the land, describing
in detail their nature and cost.
(e) The date of his abandonment
of the claim and the reason therefor
and whether he ever executed a re-
linquishment of the entry.
(G What consideration, if any,
he received for abandoning or re
linquishing the entry; also whether
he sold the improvements on. the
tract, giving full details as to said
