Assails Homestead Law.

Colonel Emerson then made an attack
upon the homestead laws. Under the
homestead law he said that for a man
to acquire title he must waste time
which should go to the increasing of
our national wealth, must destroy a
portion of the timber TO which he is
striving TO obtain title and thus destroy
national wealth, must deprive his fam
lily of his support, must live in danger
of falling trees. of accidents, with no
one near. or he must perjure himself
and little wonder he did the latter. when
ny doing 40 he ONLY chc@e between

evils, and chose the one of the least
real harm. Not quite perjured himself,
for he could cut some brush, set out
some fruit trees in the forest and few
cabbages, visit ttEEaI-@'..elaim' every six
months, hack in a nair window for his
shake shack leave an AK and frying
pan there, and thus ease his conscience
and those of his witnesses when the
day of final proof arrived.
Nothing But Timber.
I'm this proof he had to swear that
the land was chiefly valuable for agri-
cultural purposes, but the decision of
the Land Office eased his conscience by
declaring all land not stony or grayelly
as agricultural yet during his life
time he never expected to see anything
grow on this land but timber
Colonel Emerson then attacked the
timber act, and said. '.our timber act
was more just. but framed in the in
terests of land grabbers." He also made
a jab at the new land law, which he
termed still more ridiculous and Grim
inally wrong.
