secretary of the interior in his dis

United States to retake the land
whenever necessary for power sito
purposes.
In commenting on section 10 of the
Ferris water power bill which covers
substantially the same ground as the
Sinnott bill Secretary Lane said:
"Section 10 of the bill is also im
portant, in that it will permit in many
instances a dual use of the land, or
a part thereof, providing that the sec
retary of the interior may in his dis
cretion, allow entries or claims mule.'

stived for water power sites where
the water power development will not
be injured thereby. There are
many cases where the dam, reser
voir, or conduit will occupy only a
part of a legal subdivision, and thi.,
will permit the agricultural use of
the balance. There are other caseo
where there is now timber upon llm
surface, which may be disposed of
under appropriate laws, cut, anl re
rnoved before the land is required or
utilized for power purposes."
