BEFORE COMMITTEE AND
OPPOSED BILL.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-TheB orah bill reduc-
for proving up on homestead entry
and permitting the entryman to take
six months leave of absence from his
ontry each year, was passed without
opposition by the Senate
: That there will be strong opposi-
ton to the passage of the measure in
the House is believed to be certain, as
Secretary Fisher appeared before the
House public lands committee against
1t. Secretary Fisher and Land Com
missioner bennett also advised the
House committee to reject the bill,
which provides that notice shall be
given settlers when protests against
their claims are filed by special
agents. Such notice the officials said
would enable the entryman to get
witnesses out of the country, or frame
up defense to overthrow the evil
dence gathered by the government.
Secretary Fisher promised the COM
niittee that he would instruct his sub
ordinates that all contests against en-
tries must be taken up and disposed
Of within year from the date of fill
Ing. The secretary opposed the plan
OF appealing land decisions to the
courts. predicting that such action
would swamp the courts and cause
more delay than at present.
He favored having payments for
water rights under government
reclamation projects made to the
reclamation service officers. instead
OF to land office officials.
A Redistribution of the forms of
entry of lands in the public domain;
laws to meet the facts in each par
ticular class of entry. and rulings by
the Land Office to encourage the bona
fide settlement of the West were ad-
vocated by Secretary Fisher before
the committee.
Mr. Fisher submitted draft of
new law to regulate the homestead
ing of arid lands. 1t would relieve
the settler of residence on the irriga-
ton project for the first two years of
his ten-year term and substitute for
that provision the cultivation of one
eighth of the land the first year, two
Fights the second year and so on for
five years.
The House public lands committee
authorized favorable report on the
Mondell bill extending the provisions
of the act permitting agricultural err
tries on coal lands to entries under
the reclamation act. the Carey desert
land act, lands selected by states un-
der grants by Congress and lands sold
as isolated tracts.
The House committee on expendi-
lures in the War Department has
agreed to report favorably the Mon
dell resolution calling for information
regarding the various Western posts
recommended for abandonment by the
secretary of war. Some slight amend
ments were made in the Mondell reso-
luton to incorporate in it additional
details asked for in another resolution
of the same character introduced by
Representative Mott of New York.
