Washington, Sept. 20.— Speculators
are overrunning government irrigation
projects, crowding ont bona fldeaettJen
and are undertaking to hold land until
after water is turned on, when ■ they
propose to sell at a good profit.
This'
fact was discovered by Secretary Gar­
field and Director Newell oa their so­
nant tour through the West, and in
some localities it was found that a ma­
jority of tne entries had bean made by
persons who intend to sell out, end
who hare no Idea of making perma­
nent homes on the land.
How to eliminate speculators is a
problem on which the department is
now working. The moot feasible plan
at hand appears to be the requirement
that all settlers on land under govern­
ment projects be compelled to pay one-
tenth of the coot of their water right at
the time they make filing in the local
land office. Usually the first payment
Is not demanded until one year after
water is delivered on the land. *
