tlers Certain.
 Restoration of approximately 400. 900 acres of land. lying alons the Little Colorado river, to set clement and entry. indicates that the government has abandoned the proposed Little Colorado river irrigation project. The land was withdrawn from entry under all order issued Nov. IS, 1904. under the same form ot withdrawal as the Salt river project.
 Under advices received by The News early this week from the Phoenix land office the land will be open for settlement on June 26 and for fling and entry on Ju- ly 26 following, thirty days later. Those endeavoring to make set clement prior to the date men toned for the purpose of acquir- ing title to the land will be treat ed as trespassers.
 Parties can go on the land for the purpose of examining it prior to that date and parties who may have settled on it or otherwise acquired rights prior to withdrawal will also be per mitted on it, without being con- sidered trespassers.
 The land in question extends along both sides of the Little Colorado river from Carrizo creek, east of Holbrook twelve miles, to a point about eighteen miles west of Winslow or for distance of nearly eighty miles in length and eight townships Tn width. nearly fifty miles.
 It includes fourteen full and five fractional townships extend ing from and including township fifteen north, to and including twenty-two north, and ranges from twelve to and including twenty-three east. The little town of St. Joseph, where a small irrigation system is in operation. is embraced in the area, though not included in the lands which have been restored for entry.
 A portion of the land perhaps might be irrigated by private ditches but the greater portion would be valuable only under a general irrigation project.
 The restoration to homestead entry of this vast body of land will be of inestimable benefit to Holbrook and other sections of Navajo county. Much of this land is good agricultural land and is suitable for growing crops by dry farming methods. This land will be quickly entered by homesteaders, and the popula- tion of the county will be great ly increased.
 Along the Little Colorao O river and tributary streams there are a number of good reservoir sites which may be developed, either by private capital. or under dis trict irrigation plans, and by this means land in the valleys may be irrigated.
 It's true that considerable portion of the land restored to entry is suitable only for graz ing purposes, but with the pass age of the 640-acre homestead law now before congress- which seems certain of enactment this class of land will also be homesteaded.
 Altogether, the prospect i' good for a large increase in tht population of the county as a re suit of these lands becoming available for entry as home steads. An increase Tn popula ton will benefit every communi ty in the county, and every in dividual as well.
 To use a popular expression We should worry!"
