Church officiating, The Effect of the Conference Agree- ment on the Suhdry Civil Bill. The effect of the legislation in regard to the arid lands as agreed upon by the conference committees of the two houses was discussed | with a great deal of interest today by the Gen- eral Land Office officials. The arid land law of 1888, which has been repealed by this new legislation, has been a great check to the business of the General Land Offic and final ac- tion on entries in practically all the region west of the one hundredth meridian has been suspended. All these cases would now pass to patent. Onp of the officials remarked today | that the pfovisiqn limnting to 320 acres the | individual practically abolisned the desert jand act and one or two other of the lund laws. Under the desert jand act a man could make an entry of 640 acres; he could also make a pre-emption, a homestead and a timber cultare entry. The last three laws limited exch entry to 160 acres. It is considered that the proposed law, while not perfect, is much pre- ferable to the law of 18865 and that the pro- vieion exempting from settlement reservoir sites and providing for the right of way through private land for irrigating canals is ample to carry out the proposed scheme of irrigation of the desert lands. This is the view held by an experienced official of the General Land Office, who is widely acquainted with the pub- lic lands and the administration of public land laws, SINGING 5) HYMNS.
