199 moneys received from the disposal of public lands in the 16 Western States and Territories named in the Act.276 It was held in 1909 that the 1902 provision was, in itself, an appropriation of the proceeds from the disposal of the lands.277 However, Congress in 1914 prohibited expenditures "except out of appropriations made annually by Congress."278 Within a few years after passage of the 1902 Act, annual in- crements from disposal of the lands began to diminish.279 And Congress in 1910 authorized substantial advances to the Fund.280 Such advances were in addition to a number of stat- utes designed to augment the fund by revenues other than from sale of lands.281 278 § 1, 32 Stat. 388, as amended, 43 U. S. C. 391; see supra, p. 183. A number of subsequent acts authorized the disposal of certain other lands connected with reclamation projects, receipts to be covered into the Reclama- tion Fund, for example: proceeds from sales of town lots withdrawn in connection with reclamation projects (Act of April 16,1906, § 2, 34 Stat. 116, 43 U. S. O. 562) ; proceeds from sales of town sites set apart within or in the vicinity of a reclamation project (Act of June 27, 1906, § 3, 34 Stat. 519, 43 U. S. O. 563) ; moneys derived from sale of lands acquired under certain provisions of Reclamation Law and placed to the credit of the project (Act of February 2,1911, 36 Stat. 895, 43 U. S. C. 374) ; moneys derived from sales of public lands withdrawn and improved at expense of the Reclamation Fund and placed to the credit of the project (Act of May 20, 1920, 41 Stat. 605, 43 U.S. 0.375). Moreover, a provision was made for covering into the Reclamation Fund proceeds from the lease of lands reserved or withdrawn under Reclamation Law or from the sale of products therefrom; and where such lands are affected by a reservation or withdrawal under some other law, such pro- ceeds are likewise to be covered into the Fund where such lands are needed for the protection or operation of any reservoir or other works constructed under Reclamation Law.
