In tho Desert Land Hoard contro-

Commissioner Tnllmnn says tho
npllcatlon for nn extrusion of time i
not supported by n showing ns re-
ulred by tho regulations. He also
olnts out thnt there Is serious quos-i
Ion of whether tho lands in the sog-
egatlon nro subject to desert entry :
nywny.
"Over half of the lands In list 11. (
b orlclnalh- filed" writes Commts-1
loner Tallman. "were eliminated be
fore segregation on account of Its,
non.desert. timber character. After
segregation It has been urged that I
the segregated lands are non-desert i
In character and would, without Ir
r'gatlon produce profitable crons.
This contention appears to be sup
norted by a special agent of this of
flco thnt tho moisture Is wfth'n two
or three Inches of the surfecs. Is suf
ficient to support a dense growth of
black pine nnd a scattering growth of
underbrush where the timber Is not
too thick, and a fairly good growth of
grass on the open meadow ianns.
' Land thnt produces a natural growth
of timber Is not subject to desert
entry." i
Morson llml llearlnir.
Commissioner Tallman points out
that when the probable non-desert
character of the land was reported to
the department Mr. Morson was glv-,
f en an oral hearing on the matter. The
department took the position that as '
a practical matter It would not . dls-j
turb Its action of October 21, 190... !
"Hut the department," says the'
commissioner, "further advised: 'If,!
within the statutory time, the terms
of tho Cnrcy act shnll not have been
carried out, tho government will have
occnsion to net.' Accordingly this
question must bo considered.

says:
"It should bo shown that tho lands
segregated were, nt the date of se
lection, desert in chnractor. and that
nil the segregated lands can be re
claimed under tho system as now
contemplated. Any lands as to which
such showing cannot be made should
bo relinquished. The contemplated
plan of reclamation should bo fully
disclosed, particularly as relates to
the land to bo reclaimed by pumping
systems, tho capacity of the plants

qunoy and pormnnency of. and what
arrangements hnvo been made fcr a
perpetual, or perpetually renewed

power for operating the pumping
plants,

"Tho present legal status of the
water rights relied upon should be

given to the question of Intervening
ndvorse rights iultlnted subsequent to
tlio orlglnnl locations relied upon,
and as to whether or not tho right of
relation to such original locations
can bo assorted.
"In n project depending In part
upon direct diversion, nnd In part
upon stoVnge, It Is necessary" to know
tho wntcr requirements nt different
periods of the Irrigation season.
"Estlnintes of tho wnter require
