The discussion today was on the bill introduced in tho test congress fur the reiK-a-l of the stone, timber and desert land set, and for the commutation clause of the homestead acta The prevailing sentiment was against the bill, lhe delegates consider that the homestead act, especially as far as it applies to the western country, should be enlarged rather than restricted. The discussion on the forest reserve (lint problem brought out the fact western stockmen are not opposed to the preservation of forests. Their grievance is that grazing and agricultural lands are often Included in reserves from which stock are excluded. They also ask that the rules governing three reserves bo modified so that sheep may grsxe upon them as well ss cattle.
