LAND OFFICE
ISSUES WARNING
New Set of Regulations Issued By
Department Requires Plans
Be Feasible

hington-Hundreds of desert
land entrymen in the west whose
entries were about to be cancelled fol
failure to comply with the cultivation
and irrigation requirements of the
desert land law, will have their titles
preserved and will be able to secure
patents under an amendment of the
deficiency appropriation bill agreed
to by congress just before adjourn
ment. This amendment, recommend
ed by the interior department., gives
relief to entrymen who, through no
fault of their own, and because of
the failure of others to bring water
to their lands, have been unable ito
lrrlgate their entries. To receive the
benefits of the amendment, howeve
desert land entrymen must be able
to show that they have complied
with other requirements of the law
so far as has been within theirpower.
The amendment, which is now law,
provides that the secretary of the in
terror may grant three-year extern
sion of time to entrymen who made
desert land filings prior to July /
1914, provided the entrymen cam show
that if the extension is granted
they will be able to make final proof
of reclamation, irrigation and cultiya-
ton. Or, If the DESERT entrymen who
tlled prior to July 1, 1914, have ex-
pended SO per acre in the attempt
to effect reclamation, and if it be-
shown that there is no prospect that
they will be able to get sufficient
water for irrigation, they may have
live years to perfect title to their
lands under the homestead law.
The third, and most desirable, pro-
vision OF the new law is to the ef-
tect that desert entrymen who I'll
prior to July /, 1914, and who have
spent 81 per acre in an attempt at
reclamation, may, within 60 days af-
Ter notification by the general land
ottlce, pay to the receiver of the
ocal land office so cents per acre for
each acre entered. Thereafter. upon
proving they have made improve
nents to the extent of $1.25 per acre
md that they have i'm good faith used
he land for three Years for agricul-
.ural purposes, the entryman may Sc
'ure patent upon payment of an ad-
litional Is cents per acre, and final
'roof and payment in such cases may
'e made at amy time Within five Years
Utter the entryman elects to secure
title by this means. In other words
'ntrymen of this class, who are IN
lble to get water for their Lands. NAV
.cquire title by complying with other
equirements of the desert land act
md paying $125 additional to the
overnment.

DESERT ENTRIES
AGAIN FAVORED
Real Home Seekers Given Further
Opportunities to Perfect
Their Titles.

For the purpose of preventing the
allowance of desert entries for lands
incapable of reclamation, the depart
ment of the interior has just issued
new set of regulations which have
been received by the local land Of
flee.
Under the new regulations, when
the applicant files his declaration of
making desert entry he must also
file plans describing the source of
water supply, character of irrigation
works constructed, in the course of
construction, or proposed to be con-
stTucted or other method by which
the water is to be conserved or con-
veyed to the land. If the works
have not been constructed, it must
be shown by whom they are to be
built and the proposed plan must be
furnished. If the applicant, or other
in an association with him, proposes
to construct irrigation works a
sworn statement must accompany
the declaration. If artesian wells
are to be the source of irrigation,
existence of such water supplies must
be shown.
With respect to the land itself, a
specific showing must be submitted
as to its approximate altitude, char
acter of soil and to- what points upon
the tract the bitches are to be ex-
tended
AT the time of filling the apph-
can't must pay the receiver 25 cents
an acre. The register and receiver
will report to the chief of the field
division any facts in their knowledge
with respect to the land or water
supply.
When an application ia received b,
the chief of field division he will
have same considered by field ex-
aminer who will return a written re-
port recommending the allowance or
rejection of the application.
If, however the chief of the field
division is of the opinion that the en-
try should not be allowed, he will
have full report prepared ON the
application and transmit the entire
record to the department at Wash
ington.
Registers and receivers will fur
nish copies of the new ruling to all
officers i'm their land districts before
whom desert land declarations may
be made. Further information can

TIPPE RARY.
Town Made Famous by Marching
Song Has a Place in Medieval
History.

Where is Tipperary? This is a
question great many people have
been asking themselves since the
publication of "It's Long Way ito
Tipperary," which has been sung at
almost every entertainment in the
British Isles, says the Washington
Star.
Tipperary is not by any means
the largest or the most beautiful
town i'm Ireland, but 1t Is romantic
old place, near the base of the
SLEEVE Ma Muck, or Tipperary hills.
These hills are branch of the
Galtee range and are noted for their
wild beauty. The town is located
about forty-two miles northwest of
Cork on the Great Suthern and West
ern railroad. The quaint old place,
with it's folF lore and rural popula-
tion is situated in the center of a
fine agricultural district, which once
formed part of the ancient king
dom of Munster.
The county of which Tdpperaay 10
the namesake and county seat was
once a palatine, ruled by the power
full earls of Ormond. It's soil is Of
limestone, overlain by a rich loan
capable of yielding the finest crops.
The majority of the population is
engaged in farming and manufacture
ing. Great quantities of condensed
milk and butter are produced, the
butter market ranking next to that of
Cork.
The town of Tipperary, the incor-
poration of which dates from 1910,
has 1000 inhabitants. 1t Is governed
by an elective assembly called the
district council, which, as the people
are greatly interested in their gov
emment, holds quarterly sessions.
