THE ENLARGED HOMESTEAD LAW SECRETARY LANE OUTLINES PROCEDURES FOR HOMESTEAD ENTRY UNDER NEW RULING FORMER LEGAL STATEMENTS AND SERVICES OF ATTORNEYS NOW NOT NECESSARY The 320-acre homestead law, or, as it is often called, the enlarged-homestead law, has made possible the entry of many million acres of dry land in the Western States in tracts double the size allowed under the original homestead law. Only land which has been "designated" by the Secretary of the Interior as "nonirrigable" can be entered under this act. More than 200,000,000 acres have been thus designated, but petitions and sworn statements requesting further designations are constantly being received. In an interview just given out, Secretary Lane calls attention to the fact that there appears to be considerable misunderstanding among the western homesteaders as to the procedure necessary in order that enlarged homestead designations may be made. The secretary states that only the simplest and most direct action by the settler is required, and that it is wholly unnecessary for him to in ur the charges now made by attorneys who draw up formal petitions that are in fact no more effective than the homesteader's own letter would be. On this account a brief statement of the essential facts WATER COMPANY ALLOWS MANY BILLS Financial Statements Submitted to Board Last Saturday Superintendent McFadden submitted the following report: To the honorable Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company.

All members present, excepting Ch The first enlarged-homestead act was approved February 19, 1909, and as later amended provides that in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming any person who is qualified to make entry under the homestead laws may enter as much as 320 acres of public land which is in a reasonably compact body and is non-mineral, nonirrigable, unreserved, and unappropriated and does not contain merchantable timber. Before such entry can be made, however, the land must be designated by the Secretary of the Interior as not being, in his opinion, susceptible of successful irrigation at a reasonable cost from any known source of water supply. The work of classifying the lands and determining what areas may be considered nonirrigable has been assigned by Secretary Lane to the United States Geological Survey. Although, under the present ruling of the Secretary, large areas may be designated as nonirrigable without raising the question whether the land is in other respects subject to homestead entry, the work of examining and classifying these large areas necessarily proceeds rather slowly. In addition to these so-called "blanket" designations, therefore, designations of smaller areas are made as rapidly as their nonirrigable character is determined, including areas whose designation has been requested by individual settlers for enlarged-homestead entry or for additional entry on tracts adjacent to their present unperfected homestead entries. No definite form of petition is required, but each application should be limited as far as possible to the specific tract desired for entry and should contain a description, by section, township, and range, of the applicant's original homestead entry and the date of this entry, as well as a description, also by legal subdivisions, of the land desired for additional entry.
