FISHER WOULD AMEND
HOMESTEAD MEASURE
Attempt Defeat Three-Year Bill
by Water Power, Timber and
Mineral Reservations

"Ao114INH4ON, ApIal o. 1IuS 10
predictions, Secretary of the Interior
Fisher has decreed that the three-year
homestead bill must be heavily decorat-
ed with amendments if it IL to receive
his sanction and commendation to the
president for signature. Ats meeting
Of conferees Of the house and senate on
the Borah-Taylor bill today. which was
attended by Secretary Fisher, notice
was served that the amendments re-
serving water power, mineral and tim
Der from the homestead patent should
be incorporated in the bill.
1t was apparent from the confident
nature of Fishers remarks that he ex-
poets to have the senate conferees, who
are Senators Smoot, Jones and New
lands, with him on this proposal. Tay-
lor, Ferris and Mondell, the house con-
ferees, are unalterably opposed to ham
pering the homestead law with these
restrictions, and it is apparent that the
deadlock for the bill is now on.
The Westerners assert that they are
inclined to let the three-year homestead
measure fail rather than accede to the
proposals of Clifford Pinchot. The
amendment in regard to making provis-
ion for the exemption of water powers,
they say, virtually puts the government
on the ground of not recognizing the
states right to control it's waters. They
also say that to confer the perpetual
right to other persons to enter q mans
land at any time and prospect for min
erals is fully as Objectionable.
The important fact was developed at
this mornings 8 conference that the ad-
ministration recognized the homestead
bill as it passed the house rs being fully
applicable to existing homestead entries.
An attempt to definitely insert this pro-
vision in the bill was defeated in the
house, and it was feared for time that
the measure would not extend the rights
to the persons at present prosecuting
homestead entries. In response to .
direct question by Mondell. Secretary
Fisher said the department would con-
strue the bill to cover all entries. When
it became plain that nothing was to be
accomplished at today's conference, it
broke mp and will not be resumed for
week. - Rocky Mountain News.

No Complaint Due

Because of delayed train service off,
cial notice of the republican preferential
primary of March 18 was not received
in Keota until that morning. Keotans
are willing to grant that Buckingham is
entitled to voting precinct, but hold
that their inability to give notice in
Buckingham of the Keota primary is no
argument for the establishment of
precinct there, as stated in the Buck
