the timber on public lands. On this sub
ject the report says: The timber affected
by these fires has been left In such a con-
dition that IL not cut and disposed of in
short time It will become worm eaten and
worthless, thus depriving the land OF
a great portion OF its value to the settler
seeking title. ], therefore. urgently rec
ommend that promptly u eon the reassem-
bling of Congress a law be enacted by
which the settlers shall be allowed 10 per-
feet their claims by communication thereof
to cash purchase at the legal price per
acre BY this means the right and oppor-
tunity would be given to cut and dispose
OF the burned timber during the early
part OF the approaching winter and before
it becomes worthless, thereby preserving
it from destruction and In some de-
gree relieving the suffering TO which
those have been subjected by the devas-
tating conaagrationS 1t would seem that
the instincts OF humanity and justice unite
to demand such legislation. / would fur
