Washington The Interior depart

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
