ton cannot be passed this session. if at

to hold it up at least until the short
session OF congress, when its chanves in

| asmuch as an attempt has been made to
show that Senator WaShburn is with
him in this movement, it is only proper

better for the general government be-
cause its reimbursement for the eX-
penses of opening the reservation will
be so much earlier. l think, too, that

Fthe smaller operators, favor this plan
of opening rather than that of throwing
all the timber on the market at one
