Two Wool Revision Bills,

WASHINGTON, March p. - The
democratic members of the ways and
means committee determined today to
re-introduce in the house the same
wool tariff revision bill that was in
PRODUCED last summer, which, after
being revised in conference was vetoed
by President Taft.
The committee fret considered q bill
that would correspond to the confer.
ence report, but finally decided unsni'
mously to introduce it's own bill, which
puts q duty Of 20 per cent on raw
wool.
The republican members of the ways
and means committee introduced to-
day . minority bill revising the wool
en- schedule OF the present tariff law
In accordance with their interpreta'
ton of the report OF the tariff board.
The bill would reduce the duties Ion
wool and manufactures Of wool about
| 10 per cent.

BILLINGS, March 24.-Indications
are that the anticipations OF aockmas-

prices this year are seemingly pretty
close to realization, according to re-

said that within the last two or three
days offers OF Is cents have been made
for several clips, but that no contracts
have been make for the reason that
the growers are standing pat for q.
least one fifth of a dollar.
Some of the prospective purchasers
admit that there Is now no argumen,
to be advanced for IA to l6 cent prices,
IS were the offers made q few weeks

elevate the figures to II and 10 cent:

Good News For Homesteaders.

A press dispatch from Washington
Gays q bill has been introduced by
Congressman Pray providing for the
valid alton of pending homestead en-
tries where it can be shown that the
entryman before making such entry
had previously perfected title to less
than 100 acres under the homestead
laws. 1t is intended to relieve a ser.
ious condition found to exist in Daw-
son and Valley counties and in some
other sections of the state.
A letter was issued by the land Office
to the local officials about two years
ago holding that persons otherwise
qualified who had received patent for
q homestead of less than 100 acres
would be eligible a. entrymen under
the enlarged homestead act. Under
this ruling many entries were allowed
and valuable improvements were
placed upon the lands embraced with
in these second entries. No question
was raised as to the validity of these
entries until the Storaasli contest case
reached the department of the interior,
involving the very point that had
sometime before been settled by the
letter issued to registers and receivers
by the general land Office.
The entire subject was again review
ed, and the secretary held hat such
entries initiated under the enlarged
homestead act under such circum.
stances could not stand. However,
owing to the fact that the applications
in the second entries were accepted by
| authority of the land Office, the secre-
tary has advised Congressman Pray
that no opposition will be made to the
| bill which now seeks to validate such
entries as were accepted prior to
notice of the Storaasli decision, Sep
TENDER first of last year. If the bill
passes it will allow the homesteaders
to retain the lands they have for some
time occupied and improved.

the democrats may make political
capital in some parts OF the country,
but it will not be in those sections OF
Montana where the growing of sugar
beets ia on established industry, or
where it has been planned to Engage

per cent of the farm output of that
county, and to a larger per cent in
