land office, for many years, of the de-
lay that small things cause. The pub
lie at large does not know that
leased land is capable of homestead
and this point should be called dur
ing the whole time of lease of pas
toral land in particular. During
lease attention should be called to
the fact that land might be leased"
Chairman Carter: 81 think that is
good idea and that from time to
time during the lease notices should
be published calling attention to the
fact"

The question arose as to whether
there were two limitations or only
one meant in this section.

this mornings meeting the Board
