Second Homestead Entries Eyed as Law Nears Passage
Washington reports a likely early law to allow seven homestead entries where final proof failed through no fault of the claimant. Senator Heyburn and Rep. French push the bill. The 1904 act limited second entries to relinquished or abandoned claims. The measure aids honest settlers hindered by misfortune and poverty. George N. Ifft, once editor of the Pocatello Tribune, is praised for consular service in Germany and Annaburg. Senator Lodge condemns cabinet officers routing bills to committees without introduction. French seeks irrigation and dry farming reforms and an Idaho experiment farm funded by Agriculture.
