OUR FOREST RESERVES.
They Have Become "a Most Serious
Question With the Department of
the Interior.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 5.-What to
do with the forest reserves has become
a serious question in the department
of the interior. Congress passed law
providing for setting apart tracts of
lands as forest reserve, and, when so
set apart, they could not be entered up
on for any purpose whatever. Acting
under this law, the president has from
time to time set apart tracts which are
known as forest reservations, and
which are now on the government
lands. In all there are over 17,100,000
acres thus reserved in the states of
California, Oregon, Washington, Colo
RADIO, Wyoming, Montana and in Utah
and Arizona territories. No provision
whatever has been made for taking
care of these reservations. Under the
law they are reserved to the govern
ment. and no person can make use of
them; yet there is nothing to prevent
persons from going upon them or in
any way defeating the object of legiS-
lation, and the reservation proclama-
ton. Persons might be prosecuted af-
forwards; but there is no means Of
preventing depredations. Neither is
there any way to prevent forest fires
or other methods of destruction. The
persons interested in forest preserva-
ton were instrumental in having the
reservation law passed and the reserv-
atoms made. They have also tried to
secure laws for the protection of for
ests, but so far without success
One of the most enthusiastic forestry
men in the present administrative is
Assistant Commissioner Bowers. Of the
general land Office. He has been doing
a good deal toward having reserva tons
made, and has also been urging legis-
lation for their preservation and pro-
lection. Commissioner La1noreaux is a
practical lumber man, and, referring 10
the value Of the timber on these forestI
reservations, says that no timber is val
liable unless it is within a marketable
distance Of streams or railroads and
at present none Of the lumber of these
reservations could be sold. He does not
believe thar their timber will be de-

the scheme for the preservation of the
forest includes the sale of timber from
them to pay for their protection. If
there is no demand for the timber, this
plan will fail and it will be necessary
for the government to appropriate
money for this purpose.
Already there have been plans pre-
sented for making national parks of
these reservations, and if the first plan
fails, then an effort will be made to
turn them over to the several states
for state parks.

Washington, Oct SIS. W. Lamor-
eaux, commissioner of the land office,
in his annual report, shows there has
not been so much activity in public
land offices this year as formerly, due
to hard times and consequent falling
off in immigration.
Among other recommendations made
is one for an innovation in survey.
Instead of the contract system, I'M
der which public lands are now sur
veyed, he says the government should
make the surveys. He suggests the
work be done by the geological survey,
and points out that the present geo
logical survey is compelled to go over
the same ground which has previously
been gone over by the contract sur
veyors. The geographical survey and
the typographical survey can be made
at the same time and with much less
expense.
The disposal of land for the year
ending June 80, was as follows: Sold
for cash, 6l3,S26 acres; miscellaneous
entries, 9,763,3 1893 acres; Indian lands,
2S,S76 acres; total decrease compared
with last year, 1,4S5,043. The total cash
receipts of the office were $12, 767, 1924, q
decrease of Sill $50; total agricultural
patents issued, 1926, a decrease of
S,429
Mineral patents, 1.162: railroad land
grants patented, 500, $50 acres; approved
to states under public grants, S19, 1893
acres; Indian and miscellaneous. 305, 592
acres; total number of acres pa tented,
2,535,735. Surveys amounting to $685.
4S7 acres have been approved during
the year.
The commissioner recommends that
an appropriation be made for at least
six attorneys, to supervise and direct
the proceedings of the special agents
operating in the districts designated by
the commis9 T. the attorneys to
have charge me prosecution of cases
