Lewis found that when the compa nies tried to get l atent for their Irri gated lands, In order to be able to place them on the market and sell their bonds that much of the land for which patent was sought was from 15to 20 miles from any ditch or ca nal and that some land of this char acter had been sold to homeseekers as "Irrigated land."

He has now forced the companies to com ply with the law. In regard to fixing a definite amount of water to be ap plied to certain tracts, and In this way the state' has been protected and the settler safeguarded In the matter.
