ieut in inoit cases to maintain a
fmnilv, the present law operates to
depopiiliile the country rather than
nettle it the settler Iwing forced to
dUMK; of the imiuflicieul laud to
tllo who can handle it in large
IxxliuN.
i have an idea that a sort of
graduated homestead arrangement
would be practicable, allowing an up
pliciuit to take 160 acres or n full sec
tion, 01 even 1000 acres, according
to the character of the laud applied
for. The classification of lauds
should Ik- made by the geological
survey and not left to tliejudgment
of individual applicants. This idea
is entirely in the rough yet, but a
uiitulcr of comgtcssmcii are work
ing on it and I hoe it will Ik got
into practical shape.
"I am opiKHied to repeal of the
present timber and stone law as
long as the limber lauds arc open
to stripping. When the scrippers
are out of business it may be well
to repeal the other law, but to do m
now would work iiuniujil the citizen
of small. menus and .in favonof the

made that any township is not of
suitable character for forest reserve
it would not 1m difficult to get that

.my indefinite or general protest
will have no effect."
Mr. Williamson expresses grat
ification at the growth he observes
111 this part of the country. Uc is
not, however, very hopeful of n
practicable winter wagon rood
