Washington.-Wes members OF
the House have held a conference to
map out plan of campaign in sup
port of the amended Borah three-year
homestead bill, which comes up in

determined stand on this measure, for

OF any law getting through at this ses-
sion in any manner liberalizing the
public land laws.
At the request of the Interior De-
partment Senator Smoot, chairman of
the public lands committee, introduced
a bill amending the Carey desert land
act so that the ten-year period, in
which the state shall cause the lands
to be irrigated, shall run from the date
