Interior Dept Instructions on desert land extensions
The Boise Land Office reports an Interior Department circular outlining how desert land entrymen hindered by reclamation projects may delay proofs under the 1906 act. It requires affidavits with two witnesses, engineer reports, and annual and final proofs, with credits for prior compliance and cautions on cancellation if requirements lapse. Also notes entrymen may obtain water by relinquishing all land, with residency and annual proof conditions. Festive Christmas dinner observed for jailed Western Federation of Miners officers, with gifts from across the United States.
