Three-Year Homestead Bill.

The three.year homestead measure,

man Pray writes:
"The homestead bill about which
you have inquired has not yet become

mi,tee having charge of the bill after
it passed the senate. We put in q
great deal OF time and work on the
measure in an endeavor to frame a
bill that would be likely to receive a
majority vote in the house. W. we're
desirous, however. of framing such a
bill as would afford the homesteaders
some substantial relief along the lines
indicated in the hundreds and thou
sands of letters and petitions that
have been sent to congress during the
present session from all sections Of
the west.
when the bill was under consider
alton in the house, the members gener
ally we're favorable to the principle|
involved, but there was considerable
difference of opinion as to the details
Some of the amendments proposed
were good and to some extent i'm
proved the bill. Others were ir'
relevant and, if adopted, would only
tend to cucumber it and probabl,
render 1t difficult of Interpretation anl
enforcement.

an effort is being made to reconcile
the differences between the house ant
senate, and also to agree upon q re
port which will be adopted by boil
bodies"
