SALEM, July 13. Tho Desert Lnnd Hoard has received n letter from tho General Lnnd OIIlco in which tho old excess ncrcngo question on Cnroy Act projects Is rovlved. In oftoct tho Washington authorities declare that patents cannot bo issued to, tracts Involving Irrlgnblo acrcngo not provided wltlv.wnter, and tho llvo cornered puzzlo Involving tho com pany, settlors, courts nnd land ofllco Is resumed. Th6 predecessor of tho Central Oregon Irrigation Company sold wntor rights to 'settlors boforo It wns determined how much of tho lnnd could bo Irrigated. Tho settlor as sumed ho could Irrigate nil tho lnnd in his tract. When wntor rights he came moro valuablo tho company de clined to deliver water to nil tho Irrlgablo land and sought to mnko delivery according to tho rolatlvo prlco paid for each tract. Tho set tlors appealed to tho Desort Laud Hoard for relief. Tho benrd dodged tho Isbho and shouldered tho respon sibility on tho courts by ontorlng nn ordor to tho effect that In Its opinion tho Courts would docldo in favor of the settlors. State Engineer Lewis contended thnt tho law wan not bolng complied with nnd thnt nil Irrlgablo lands was entitled to water. TIiIb additional acrcago requiring water further ag gravated tho question of tho ade quacy of wator supply arising on nc count of tliu oxcoks scepngo. Lewis declined to cortlfy lists No. 9 nnd 10 for patont, which resulted tn n dolugo of printer's Ink and tho pass ing of (ho lists for patont without tho State Engineer's signature Now comes tho Cienornl Lnnd Of fice warning tho Stato against pass trig defeasible title to tho sottlors, saylw'r "It doei not seem necessary nt tho present tlmo, howovcr, to request a reconveyance or to take other stops looking toward tho rovostlng in tho United States or tho lognl tltlo to such tracts, Rlnco it woll tuny bo that tho cntlro matter cnu ho ndjustod, nn adequate water mipply for the entire Irrlgablo area of every patent ed legal subdivision assured, nnd ul timately tho sottlemont nnd reclama tion of tho land secured, and thus tho object of tho Carey Act bo ac complished, In which event, of cnurso, no stens looking towards tho vacation of tho orronoously IsBtiod potent would be necessary. Tho mat ter In called to your attention, how ever, ro thnt tho Stato may not trans fer tho dofeasnhlo lognl tttlo, unions and until nn ndoquato wntor supply for tho particular subdivisions In question shall have been secured." What action tho Desert Lnnd Hoard will tnko or can tnko Is un certain. According Ik) tho olllclal Intimation ovory settlor on the pro ject who lins u Stnto deod to a tract s Involving tho excess ncrcngo question has n patent which might bo revoked unless arrangements nro mndo to Ir rigate tho entire Irrlgablo nren. Tho Desert Land Hoard will also bo confronted with tho problem of outlining n policy in regard to tho ls stinnco of deeds In tho futuro on tracts of this character. To add fur thor complication to tho question, tho Stipromo Court recently hold ngnlnst' one of the oxcess acroago Bottlers In tho coso of C. O. I. Co v. Whlted.
