POWER SITE LANDS IN LEMHt
COUNTY INVOLVED ey oRpea

some Years ago blanket order
was issued BY the federal authorities
Withdrawing power sites along All
.he rivers OF the western country.
All land which was not patented AT
the date OF this order was with
drawn from entry. and even home
steads which had been held for
many years under the laws Of the
country were practical.2 conascated
oy this order. There are instances
OF injustice imposed In Lemhi coun-
" which cannot be reconciled to any
principles of justice. Men with fam
HES who have spent the best years
OF their lives In defendias their
rights as defined by the existing
laws and legal practices found them
s,'ves landless by this vie.cu cor
fiscation.
The inconsistency OF this federal
act Is shown by the admitted fact
that these homesteads are located
where there can never be a possible
epower site The order covers all the
land in the narrow valleys Of this
county which has not been patented
to the homesteaders. These hcme-
lsteads. while they were held under
the federal land laws. could not have
been patented by the pioneer home
steasiers for the reason that the land
had never been surveyed by the gov
ernment. II. was the theory OF the
authors of the power-sita order that
that inspection would. follow the
withdrawal and that all lands ex
cept real power sites would be re-
stored to the public domain. Howev
er. tse wall Of the poor homesteade,
has never been heard In Washing

land that Is included in this with
drawal is trespasser under the or
