Washington The Interior depart ment has just completed regulations carrying into active operation various laws passed at the last session of con gress affecting settlement and settlers on government irrigation projects, there being four such acta, all signed by the president on various dates in June, 1(10. Section 5 of the (20,000,- iMMi irrigation bill contained provision that no entryman may hereafter go up on public lands reserved for irrigation until the secretary of the interior has i-stablished the farm unit and fixed the water charges and the date when water can be applied. Ixical land officers are instructed, in regard to this law, , not to recognise any settlement on auch lamia made af ter June 26, 1910, or to allow any on- try thereof during the period of their withdrawal until the conditions fixe,! by the law have been complied with. Existing entries are not affected by this act, and where settlement was made in good faith prior to June 25 on lands embraced in second-form with drawals. such entrymen may perfect their entries. Another act, signed June 25, grants leave of absence to homesteaders on government projects.
