The Forest Reservations.


A Washington dispatch says: One of
the most interesting problems the west
ern people have been called upon to con-
slider is the management of the forest
reservations that have been created dur
ing the past years by presidential proc
lamation, and the ultimate disposition
of the lands no; strictly timber lands,
and the protection of the forests on the
reservations. The problem has also
been puzzle to Secretary Smith of the
interior department, who has no au-
thority to employ men to look after the
forest reserves, and yet as they were
created through his department and
are public lands they are still under his
jurisdiction. They are subject TO his
control with nothing to control them
with. a bill prepared in the land office
was sent to congress by the secretary,
but it did not meet with the approval
OF the western men. After being
amended in many particulars and made
to conform TO the wishes of tine western
men it passed the house and was sent to
the committee on forest reservations in
the senate.
Senator Teller Of Colorado, mem
Der of the committee, has recently re-
ported the bill to the senate, but it is
not the measure Which passed the house
and bears only the name of that bill.
Senator Teller strikes out the entire bill
and reports one which he thinks will
meet the wants of the people and care
for the 1905, coo acres of timber land
now set apart in forest reservations in
different states and territories.
Mr.. Teller's substitute provides that
no forest reservations shall be estab-
lished except to improve and protect the
forest within the reservation or for the
purpose of securing favorable condition
of water flow and to secure continuous
supply of timber for the people of the
states wherein such forest reservations
are located. but it is not the purpose of
this act to authorize the inclusion with
in the reservations of lands more valu-
able for the mineral thereon or agricul-
tural purposes than for timber.
The secretary of the interior is au
thorized to make regulations for the
protection of the forests from fires and
depredations. and their occupany and
use under such rules as will insure the
objects for which they we're created.
He is empowered to sell dead and ma
tured trees, but particular care must be
exercised in making such sales, the
money to be used as special fund for
the care and management of the reser-
vations. The secretary is authorized to
permit the use of timber and stone on
the reservations free of charge to bona
fide settlers, miners, residents and pros
pectors for minerals for fire wood. for
fencing, building, mining or prospect
ing purposes. Settlers are also allowed
to pasture their cattle on the TeServa-
ton il they live within the boundaries,
and the building of roads when neces
sary Is not prohibited.
The secretary is also authorized to
sell timber from the lands not within
the reservation and unfit for cultivation.
and which may be cnt without injury TO
the public interest. and use the proceeds
for forest reservation protection.
The secretary is also authorized to
grant permits free Of cost TO cut and
use timber for the construction Of
The Meeker herald., 1895-02-23

bridges, school houses and other struc-
lures for public use in the vicinity of
such timber, and that bona fide resi-
dents on the public lands and prospec-
tors for minerals may be permitted to
take timber from the public lands.
under regulations to be prescribed By
the secretary of the interior. for fire.
wood, fencing or building purposes up
on their claims. but not for sale or
speculation.
Provision is made for a settler who is
upon land in a reservation to secure
other land and receive payment for his
improvements Settlers NAV maintain
schools and churches within the reserva-
tions and are granted two acres of land
for each school house and one acre for
each church.
Each state within which forest
reservation is located shall have civil
and criminal jurisdiction over persons
in such reservations. The secretary
may restore to the public domain lands
in any forest reservation which have
been found better adapted for mining
and agricultural purposes than forest
acres Lands, the mineral character of
which may be shown in accordance with
explaining lands, shall be restored to
mineral location and entry. Prospec-
tors and mineral claimants shall have
access to the reservations.
Senator Teller thinks that this SUBJ
stitute for the house bill unites all the
requirements and that it amply protects
everybody concerned.

In the observance of Washington's
Birthday We do not aim to perpetuate
especially the fame of the sagacious
general or of the wise and devoted
statesman. In each capacity he has
perhaps been equalled by many in our
history. We are not hero worshipers.
we are ideal worshipers. Most men
whom the world regards as great have
been what we may irreverantlY call
specialists in their line of greatness.
Few have, like Washington and Glad
stone, united in themselves so many of
the noblest characteristics of men. We
honor W ashington because he furnishes
our truest aud most perfect example of
all those qualities of mind and heart
which Americans admire. and combines
with it enough of greatness TO make
the example subject for our pride.
Washington is the ideal of American
citizenship.
