TIMBER LANDS.

The subject OF the extensive depredatlOns com.
mitted upon the timber OF the public lands OF the
United States has largely engaged the attention Of
this Department, That question presents itself In 4
twofold aspect: as question Of law and as ques-
ton Of public economy. As to the first point little
need be said. That the law prohibits the taking Of
timber by unauthorized persons from tho public
lands Of the United States Is q universally known
fact. That the laws are made TO be executed ought
10 be universally accepted doctrine.
As To the second point the statements made by
the Commissioner Of the General Land Once, In
mis- report, show the quantity OF timber taken from
the public lands without the authority Of law 10
have been Of enormous extent. II probably far ex.
