suggested by the proposed measure that

homesteader thirty days notice of any

in which to be heard upon such counts.
This bill is in line with several others
aimed at recent rulings of the general
land office, which, IT is alleged, has taken
snap judgment on certain homesteaders
who were found to be slightly delinquent
on proving up and thus forfeiting their
rights really without being given an op-
portunity to be heard.
