Committee on Public Lands after con-
test extending over two years in which
an attempt was made to repeal all of the
general land laws of the country, today

ly by its enemies than the original bill
fathered by Senator Quarles. which pro
vided for the repeal of the timber and
stone act. the, desert land act and the
Communication clause of the homestead law.
For two years the Committee on Public
Lands has had the measure almost con-

have been SO frequent that they threaten
ed many times to break the personal re.
gard in which the members of the com
mittee had always held each other.

mission named By local insurance, people
appointed TO inquire into the origin of
the late fire here has formulated its re-
port. They find in substance that the fire
originated from outside causes in the John

trio switches were cut off. the flow Of
gas was cut off at the meters and the
fires in tie boxes of the boilers were shown
to have been drawn before the blaze start

which smoldered until the firemen dis
covered the smoke and began work. 1t
is suggested that the opening of the door
caused vent for the flames.
