Washington, June 2O.-To-day upon the
tt ird trial Maj. Baldwin succeeded in
getting through the house his bill provid
ing for the sale of the pine on the White
Earth and Red Lake reservations a:
fast as 100000 acres shall be surveyed
examined and appraised. There was
slight disposition to objection Oh the par
of few members, but it faded ava!
when the purpose of the bill was OK
p.aiEed. Senator Washburn has promised
to press the bill through the senate, ant
there is every probability that it will be
come law at this session of congress
The bill is mandatory in its provisions
providing that the timber shall be sol

able pine. The estimates Of this admir-
istration have been over more than hal
: a million acres of pine, and the work {
the preceding administration was almos

t force will go on the market at one tim

the sale shall be proclaimed by advertis

" event shall it be sold for less than i
Y appraised value. The lands remaini1
d lnsold after each public offering shs
II thereafter be subject to private sale Il

s. this timber is not less than So per tho
Is sand, it will be seen that if all that
