If It passes, Clark will be permitted to file on the land, described by metes and bounds, and eventually obtain title, and If the act falls, he will be given a lease on the land by the forest reserve. "There are a number of similar cases." said Major Fenn, "and If the Lacey bill becomes a law the reserves will provide hemes for a great many people who can take land In no other way. This net permits citizens of the I'nlted States, who have lost their homestead rlgnta, to take up land In the forest reserves and ob tain title by paying $2.50 an acre, after living five years and making the nec essary Improvemnets and cultivation. Those who have not exercised their homestead rights will not be required to purchase, but must live on the land the required time. "I iln not think the day Is far dis tant when the reserves of the country will have all their agricultural lands settled upon, and the ones who suc ceed In securing homes In these re serves will receive all the benefits de nial to settlers on prairie lands."
