new LEASE LAW WILL ADO
MANI HOMES 70 STATE

Denver. March 20.-The new law
providing for the occupancy OF five
acre tracts within the national enr-
ests for the construction Of surnmer
homes. hotels, stores. and other rerre-
ative and public conveniences under
a thirtyyear leass is creating live
ly interest throughout the central
Rocky Mountain region This an
nouncement was made today by The
district forester at local forestry head
quarters
although the law has been in effect
less than two weeks the district
forester says, its instant popularity
is indicated by numerous inquiries
daily received in the office from per-
sons interested in the provisions OF
the act. Nowhere in the west should
the benefits Of this law be more fas
reaching than in Colorado. Our won-
derful scenery and natural advantages
already attract thousands of tourists
to our mountains every summer Whom
it becomes generally known that these
fve-acre tracts, sufficient for the con-
structfon of homes and other improve
ments for the convenience of tourists.
may be secured for a fixed term OF
years, many will be induced to mako
their annual residence within the stat.
In some Instances. however. the
intent OF the law has been misunda.-
stood. Several of those seeking "a.
formation concerning the law have
gained the impression that absolrfs
title to the land might be ultimately
acquired, and that the law requires an
annual residence of three months.
Such are not the facts This is not
homestead law in any sense, and no
authority is contained therein for the
issuance Of patent. The law, enacted
as part of the 1916 agricultural ap-
preparation bill. reads as follows
That hereafter the secretary NJ

he may deem proper, for periods a1s
exceeding thirty years. permit respon-
