NOW READY TO
REPORT ON The
HOMESTEAD BILL

WASHINGTON, d. c., May g.
Conference committee Saturday
reached an agreement on the Borah-
Jones three-year homestead bill and
probably will make a report to the
senate and house today. The bill
as finally agreed upon is practically
the bill as it passed the house,
with an added amendment requir-
ing cultivation of one-sixteenth of
the area of entry during the second
year of residence and one-eighth in
the third year before making final
proof. Essential features of the
senate and house bills are retained.
The homestead period is reduced
from five to three years, and the
homesteaders are permitted to be
absent from their land not to ex-
ceed five months in each year after
establishing residence. The three
year period will begin to run from
time of establishment of actual resi-
dence upon the land, and II be-
cause of climatic conditions. sick
ness or other cause. the settler
cannot establish residence at the
time of filing. he may be allowed
twelve months from date of filing
in which to commence residence.
The cultivation requirement adopt
ed by the conference committee will
apply to enlarged homesteads as
well as to 160-aere homesteads
and TO homesteads on reclamation
projects. This agreement of the
conference committee probably
means an early enactment of the
bill and its approval by the presi-
dent. as conference reports have
the right-of-way over other legis-
lation in congress.

FALLON. New, May 6.-The Ne
vada republican convention is in
session here today. Nearly all of
the elected delegates are here in

uninstructed delegation. The battle
is now on. but the Taft supporters
are confident of sending pledged
