To Open Military Reservations.

wAsHIssIoS CIrY, Jan. 24-fSpecial. r.
The committee on public lands has re-
ported a bill 10 open all abandoned mill
tary reservations containing more than
5000 acres by sppraisement and sale. No
such reservations will be opened under the
homestead law. The commissioner of the
general land offices voices tho sentiments
OF the administration in a recent report
upon this matter. wherein he says:
''The homestead privilege was conferred
rs consideration and indueement for per-
sons TO settle upon the frontiers and build
up new country. But where the govern
ment has erected military reservation,
and attracted settlers about IL, the govern
ment should reap the benefit of it IL
would seem that little argument is neees-
sary 10 show that in q settled community,
where land has become valuable, the
causes which, in a new and unsettled
region, rendered il proper to donate lands
90 settlers, have ceased 10 exist. The COM
munity already resident IN such localities
has given the value 10 such land: aud in
case such valuable land should revert 20

mensD il. and not n few persons who hap

some other advantage, TO be the first TO
