The BOrah-JOnes Homestead Law

The Sun is in receipt of a letter from the Boise Commercial Club of Boise. Idaho. in which a plea is made for concerted action rela- tive to the passing of the Borah- Jones homestead bill, which re- quires three years residence on a homestead entry, allowing a.vaca- tion of six months during each year.
 The letter in substance is as follows:
 ''The homesteader of today is crippled and harrassed by the many restrictions placed upon him; in few cases can he make money on the land during the first three years and he may not leave his entry long enough to make money elsewhere. He cannot borrow on the security because he has no title. As DooIey said a homestead entry means that the government bets 160 acres against $16 that the entryman will starve to death before he acquires title.
 Senator Borah has made a long study of the public land question and has reached a solu- tion of that part pertaining to homesteads which will mark a new era in western progress.
 With a six months annual vacation the entryman can make enough money in other sections to keep him six months on the entry, and pay for some improve ments; then in three years he can prove up. get title and borrow money with which to purchase improved machinery. stock and erect permanent buildings. Thus he becomes an asset to the west almost at once. Everyone shares in bis prosperity" = Coconino Sun.

HELD TO ANSWER

Six sheep men accused by the government of grazing their sheep on a government forest reserve without a permit were given a hearing yesterday in United States Commissioner c. w. Johnstone's court. The evi- dence was deemed sufficient to hold the defendants for the United States grand jury and the bail in each case was fixed at $500. The men were represent ed by Judge A. c. Baker, and the firm of Kibbey and Bennett. It is the first case of the kind brought in Arizona in a long time, and it's trial will be closely followed by attorneys and others interested in the interesting legal problems involved. It is said that the defendants will plead necessity, and this will be met by the government showing that the same necessity existed for the cattle, and that the cattle men were on the range by au- thority of law while the sheep men were trespassers. .-Phoenlx Republican, April 2.
