Senate Passes Western Land Bills Before Christmas Break
Washington reports the Senate approved measures aiding homesteaders in Montana and other western states by allowing winter absences until May 15. A companion House bill seeks similar relief. Also approved were forest fire relief for unpatented mining claims and an irrigation certificate amendment delaying entry on irrigation lands until unit acreage and water charges are set.
