The Blue Mt Eagle, of Canyon
City, makes the following COM
ment upon the proposed go acre
homestead bill which is mention
cd on the first page of The
Times-Herald this issue. This
article did not give the author of
the bill, but it seems our Senior
Senator introduced it. The
Eagle says:
Should the Fulton bill become
n law. of which it is reported
there is a very good prospect
many a man could afford to take
up homestead and live on it
whereas under the present law
this cannot be done on the hin
pasture lands that are still open
to settlement. And if, in addi-
ton to this, a law similar to the
Nebraska isolated land law were
passed. giving the homeste
a chance to buy another $40 acres
of pasture land at auction sale.
then he could run small band
of sheep, or enough cattle orr
horses to insure q decent living
for his family without his having
to be off working for Tom. Dicl,
and Harry three-fourths of the
time. Enact these laws. and
there will be no need of resort
ing to the theoretical and unprac-
teal system of land leasing we
have been hearing so much
about. A workable land-lcasiug
bill that would safeguard the
homesteader is a delusion. and If .
a homesteader were to slip In
and file on all the water in q bic
pasture after q stockman had
lawfully leased and fenced the
land, the military would have ID
be called out to keep the peace.
