TIMBER CLAIM CASE.


- -
eral Land-omce.
WASHINGTON, May s.-Secretary Noble
has rendered an important decision in
the case of James Hair, of Kirwir, Kan,
m appeal from the decision of the Com.
missioner of the General Land Office, in
which he reversed the rulings of the de-
partment during the last Administration
relating to the amount of timber allow
able on timber culture land entries.
Hair in his application made oath that
on the land in question there were two
cottonwood trees and four cottonwood
sprouts two inches in diameter The Sec
ton was returned by the official surveyor
as timber land under q ruling of the de-
partment that the words devoid
of timber" in the timber cult
ure act necessarily meant s'with.
out timber or destitute of timber" The
law was complied with in all respects and
the question involved was whether the
land was devoid of timber SO that it could
originally have been entered under the
timber culture law. 1t was shown that
there were a few small trees or bushes on
the claim Heretofore the Interior Depart
ment has held that one or two trees on a
claim constituted timber in sufficient
quantity to preclude any entry under the
timber culture act Secretary Noble re-
verses thi. rule He says, after review
ing the law at length, its intent, its spirit
and the country to which it applies: "No
arbitrary rule can be established for the
government OF every case. 1t should be
the desire of the department to ascertain
what the intent and purpose of Congress
was in the passage of the act Clearly
it was to encourage the artificial
growth of timber in prairie
country. 1t is within the experience
of all mankind living on prairie lands that
ravines are to be found thereon and ii
would not seem that Congress intended to
exclude every tract of that kind II
stands to reason that it was not the pur-
pose to deprive the occupants of the great
prairies of the West of the benefits of the
act it there happened to be single tree
on their claim l take it that the words
devoid of timber means practically so.
To give the act the construction placed
upon it by the legal decision just cited ac-
cording to their legitimate deductions and
fair conclusions would prevent an entry
of any prairie land that had any timber
Of any character upon it. standing, fallen
or otherwise. This is certainly too narrow
a view to take Of the act and perhaps goe,
as far to one extreme az one of the case.
