AT the National Irrigation congress
held at Boise one of the most import.
ant subjects brought before the ses-
sion was that OF the repeal OF the
present land laws. Reclamation men
who were present advocated the re-
peal OF the Communication clause of the
homestead law. and OF the entire tim
Der and stone and desert land acts.
As the proposition OF repeating the
present laws or modifying them will
doubles be brought before the next
session OF congress the following,
showing the views of two northwest
congressman win he NJ interest:
Ellis Upholds Homestead Law.
Judge w. II. Ellis congressman
elect from this district. arrived home
from attending the congress this
morning and when asked for his views
on the above subject. said:
81 believe that II the homestead
law as It stands is properly admins
tered and in the spirit that was in
tended, the government will lose very
little. Everything possible should be
done towards aiding the bona fide
settler in securing land, and ! do not
even favor the repeal of the commu
tation clause"
Timber and Stone Law Bad.
Regarding the timber and stone
act Judge Ellis holds different views
and says he r. disposed TO favor the
repeal of the same for 1t has made
much fraudulent work possible. How
ever, he says that II is rather late in
the season to act now. after most or
the land has been taken. However,
he Is strongly opposed to permitting
large corporations to gobble up lana
which is intended for actual settle
ment, and says he would probably
vote for the repeal of the timber and
stone act.
But in the opinion of Judge Ellis
the most fraud has been in connection
with lands held i'm forest reserves for
which the owners have been given
scrip which may be used for filing
on any vacant land outside of a re-

Just after the train had pulled in
Messrs. Blakeley and Meeker noticed
a young man with a suit case on the
