/ do, Nevada and the Territories to fell and
remove timber from public domain for do
nestle purposes The department has con-
/ strued the words "for domestic purposes''
! to mean the cutting OF timber by individuals
| for their own use and not for sale. Numer-
/ Gus suits have been brought and
many are now pending upon this basis.
/ Secretary Teller holds to take this view is to
/ defeat the very intent of the act, which was
/ to provide a way by which the needed tim
/ Der for mines, mills and pioneer towns can
\ be legally obtained. He holds that any such
use within the State or Territory, whether
4 by individual cutting timber or by a mill Or
/ mill man 10 whom it has been sold, is con-
| sumption for domestic purposes protected
| by this act.
