 The present system is not flexible enough to recognize the difference, he declares and greater difficulties are found in the present laws or lack of laws with regard to other parts of the public domain, especially our timber lands, our grazing lands, our water power and reservoir sites and our lands containing coal, oil, gas, asphalt, pot ash, nitrates and phosphates.'
 Secretary Fisher recommends the | "adoption of constructive legislation with respect to water power develop
 ment and the control and the compre- hensive application of the leasing sys tenn to the development of our public coal, oil, gas, asphalt, nitrate, potash and phosphate lands, with appropriate provision for the protection of prospec- tors during reasonable exploration period preliminary to the leasing of the land" He points to the fact that in the Appalachian mountains the na- tional forest reservation commission is
 now buying lands upon which timber can be raised but not good for agricul- tural purposes, for conserving the wa ters at the heads of navigable streams. "It is inexcusable," he declares. "to permit public lands of this character to
 be acquired now by private interests. when we are spending public moneys
  may have to repurcnase in the future | the very lands from which the govern ment is now parting" There are pub , lie lands in the west in a similar
 situation to those now being bought in the east, he adds, and
 these should be retained by the govern ment in order that the streams whose
 headwaters they protect may be made as
 useful as possible l am informed that there exist areas of public lands on the | headwaters of streams in the west, and | particularly in the arid southwest, which l should be withdrawn from entry because 1 if their acquisition by private interests Is
 permitted the usual destructive effects will follow. It is not proposed to include | lands whose value for other purposes is
 greater than their value to the commun- | ity for stream protection"
 l As to homestead law legislation, the | Secretary says he is still of the same opinion, in spite of a somewhat different 1 law passed last June, that the homestead settler should be excused from the neces- 1 sity of residing upon his land during the 1 first two years after entry, provided he | substituted for residence during that
 period the improvement and cultivation of a substantial portion of the grounds" i The law passed, he says, is being admin | istered to encourage as much as possible the bona fide settler.
 l The whole development of Alaska, he reports, Is waiting largely upon the pas
 sage of suitable legislation for the de- velopment of it's transportation facilities and of its coal lands
 | As to the reclamation service, he says
 the problems confronting that bureau are
 rapidly becoming those of administration
 rather than engineering. Financial and ! technical questions of buildings shrink | into insignificance compared with the more difficult husasn problem of dealing | with thousands of settlers and of induc- | ing them to take action along lines which
 will lead to their greatest individual sue | cess.'

Hearst, for mer Senator Foraker of Ohio, and a num- Der of other witnesses have been asked to appear during the week.
