sl conference with him upon the subject
of some systematic regulation of the
public domain of the United States out
side of the National Forests, with the
object of devising some orderly and de-
finite way of protecting the rights of
the stockmen, and at the same time
not interfering with the settlement of
such public lands as are capable of sup
porting homes. | may say that took
this same matter up with Secretary
Lane just after he went into Office and
he and have had several conferences
upon the subject. In substance, he said
to me that it is such big question, in
volving rs it does the control of nearly
three hundred million acres of public
land, that he had not definitely made up
his mind as to just what was best to do
He said that he fully recognized that
the stockmen were entitled to fair treat
ment, and to rs much consideration as
could be consistently given to them.
But he said that ever since the passage
of the three-year homestead law, on
June s, 1912. homestead entries had
nearly doubled For twenty years prior
to that time the average for the entire
West was $4,000 homestead entries a
year, and that during the past three and
