 Young Shear came here several years ago with his parents, Mir. and Mrs. David Shear. retinue of serv. ants and a touring car. They hailed from Pennsylvania. where they made an independent fortune in oil, and were received by local society with open arms. In justice to the son and heir. he 1t said, it was neither the wealth or the touring car, but his personality that made him a social lion, and there were many hearts more or less broken when he joined the goldseekers when the strike was on in the Bouse district.

STATE LANDS WILL
 BE WATERLESS IN
 SALT RIVER VALLEY
RECLAMATION LAW PROVIDES THAT ONLY ieo ACRES OF ts.
 3s7 TRACT CAN BE IRRIGATED

PHOENIX. March 1S.-Unless tha State of Arizona disposos Of practi. cally all it's school land in the Salt river valley before the Roosevelt reclamation project is opened. that land will not be entitled to water from the reservoir.
 The reclamation law. under which the Roosevelt dam was built wr,h government funds. says that lands in. cluded in irrigation projects shall not be held in parcels of more than 16O acres each. lf the secretary Of the interior so desires he can set the limit at an acreage even lower. but in the Salt river valley it Is a quar- ter section for all lands held under private ownership before the project was undertaken and forty acres for all land homes,eaded after that time.
 That limitation applies to indiyid- uals and to corporations. including states. There are no exceptions.
 In the Salt river valley the State of Arizona holds 13,956 acres of school land. 13.357 acres of which are irriga. ble. This land is situa,ed in sections sixteen and thirty.six.
 In about year the project will be formally opened That is, 1t will be turned over to the land owners for their administration and projec. pay. ments will begin Before that ime the lands entitled to stored water must be definitely fixed.
 I. is probable that the project will be limited to lSO,0O0 acres. A prop. osition to include no more land than that will be submitted to the Water Users Association April and un doubtedly will be adopted. The par ticular acreage entitled to water however, will not be designated til later.
 1T the state still holds title to al its Salt river valley school land wher the project is opened. only 160 acres can be included in '.he area entitled stored water. The remainder vii have only it's old rights to the norma flow of the Salt and Verde rivers
 Land entitled only to normal flow will be worth something in the Sal river valley bu. 1t will not be wortf anything like as much as the lant that is insured against drought by the Roosevelt reservoir.
 This situation is not one that has recently arisen. It,Sas foreseen years ago by school land lessees and o,her' familiar with the provisions of tn, reclamation act. Just now. however
Bisbee daily review., 1914-03-19

the lessees are unusually active in trying to find some solution. It has been suggested that .he state select lands outside the valley in lieu of those within the project and allow the lessees to homestead the farms on which they now live. Other land. is is argued. is worth as much 10 the s,ate as Salt river valley land with. out any rights to the water from the Roosevelt. reservoir.
 It was because of the impossibility of the state securing stored water rights for all it's school land in the Salt river valley that a constitutional amendment preventing the state ever selling any of its land was SO bitterly fought during the regular session of the frs. state legislature. and also during the first special session. Dur. ing the regular session the amend. ment was passed through the house. A filibuster. led by Senator C. B. Wood of Maricopa county. defeated 1t in the senate. The amendment was resurrected during the first special session and again passed through the house. Again it was defeated in the senate
 Before the irrigation project is for. mally opened the second legislature will meet in session. The lessees will bend every effort toward having adontpd some law that will relieve the unfortunate situation now existing.
