Washington.-It is believed certain
that the Borah three-year homestead
bill must be materially amended be-
fore 1T can get out of the House public
lands committee. The secretary OF
the Interior and all the bureau heads
OF tho General Land Office are op-
posed to many Of its provisions, and
with this opposition 1t is practically
certain the measure cannot hope to
pass. Secretary Fisher is preparing
amendments to the bill which will be
presented to the House committee.
The House committee on public
lands discussed the bill and other
Western land matters with officials of
the Interior Department and General
Land Office. The officials declared the
Borah bill entirely too liberal and in
definite. The six months leave clause,
Secretary Fisher declared, was SO in
definite that under its provisions
homesteader might prove up on his
claim after less than nine months ac-
tual residence. He wanted definite six
months periods of absence incorporat-
ed In the measure. The secretary was
convinced that his exaction Of the cul-
tlvat.on of one-eighth of the land dur
ing the first year was too severe, and
told the committee he would consent
to reasonable modification of that
feature. He has also agreed that set
tiers under reclamation projects
should have title after five years resi-
dence. the deferred water right pay
ments being made lien on the lands.
Senator Guggenheim introduced
