SEEKS TO AMEND
HOMESTEAD Law
Stevenson Suggests Changes in
Cultivation Requirements.

Washington. Aug. 26.-Representa-
tive Stenerson has introduced bill "a
amend the new three year homestead
law in the following particulars:
The clause authorizing the secre-
tary of the interior in his discretion
10 reduce the amount of cultivation
required at the time of final proof,
which now must be at least twenty
acres, is stricken out, and in lieu
thereof il is prescribed that where
land is covered with timber it shall be
sufficient cultivation for the entryman
To show that an amount equal To $3.50
an acre for the whole area entered has
been expended in clearing. breaking
and preparing the land for cultivation.
although the area actually put under
amount required.
Second, that where the land is too
wet TO permit cultivation without
drainage it shall be sufficient for the
entryman Ia show that he has eXpend-
ed an amount equal to $3.50 an acre
Of the whole area entered i'm drainage
and preparing the land for cultivation.
and, third, that where the homestead
settler entering the homestead period
has served as Il teacher i'm the public
schools IL shall be deemed residence
upon his homsteac, although. To make
final proof. one years residence in
such cases is required.
In explaining the bin Mr.. Steener-
son said a great many contests
have been instituted against teach
ers who had taken homesteads and
were absent teaching school. Such
settlers are very desirable, and if they
come and take up homesteads in the
new country ana spend part of their
time teaching in the public schools.
il ought to be considered equal To res
idencc on the homestead To the extent
mentioned. A large perCento &c of the
contests against homestead settlers
for abandonment i'm the frontier dis
tricts have been against teachers who
have done good work in building up
the country, and who have been more
valuable in that way than If they had
spent all their time on the homestead.
Another feature of this whole pub
lie land question is that the public
lands now remaining unentered are
either cut-over stump lands, or swan .
lands. where it is impracticable and
i'm most cases impossible To meet the
requirement of cultivation exacted,
ana the climatic conditions are such
as to make it a menace to health Ia
live on the lands"
