Office Writes to Judge Terrell,

Judge G.. p. Terrell this morning re-
ceived the following self explanatory
communicated from 4. f. Best, act
ing commissioner of the United
States general land Office at Washing
ton, d. G.:
To the Jugde OF Probate, Sal em, Ma
rion county, Or,
SlR:-It is of the utmost import
ance to the people of the public land
states and territories that the policy
of the Land Department respecting
the preservation of the forests of the
United States should be conducted
upon broad, intelligent lines, and
with this end in view l would be
pleased if you or any association or
body Of persons0n your city inter
ested in the subject would give me
the benefit of their experience res
pecting the policy of reserving the
timber lands of the United States
from entry or disposal, and would sug-
gest such rules aud regulations, as, in
your opinion would be.the most suit
q ble in your region of the country for
the management of the forest re-
serves, having in view the best inter
ests of the government as well as the
present and prospective interests of
the persons medlately or Immediately
affected in the preservation OF the
forest.
l would be pleased if you would
prepare such bill for congressional
action, as, in your Judgment would
carry out the suggestions you may be
kind enough to make.
/. Give the boundary and location
of any body of timber land in your
region, that could be dvantageOuSly
reserved, and state your reasons
therefor with as full description as
you can of the topography, geology
and natural resources of the land
sought to be reserved.
2. State whether cattle, sheep or
other live stock should be permitted
to Craze upon the reserve and, if $50,
your reasons therefore, the number of
head per township and under what
restrictions as to time of grazing, and
whether or not license should be
given and a tax collector for the
privilege.
3. If any of the timber on the lands
reserved could be advantageously dis
posed of by sale, or otherwise, state
in what quantities and in what man
ner, and the rules that would prove
salutary for the protection of the
forests from waste or destruction by
fire and insure steady and constant
supply of timber, and the preservation
of the underground essential to retain
the moisture and prevent disastrous
floods.
4. Make such other suggestions as
may occur to your mind.
/ enclose circulars of this office of
March 13 and June 30, 1897.
thank you in advance for antici-
pated courtesy.
Very Respectfully,
l.. f. BEST,
Acting Commissioner.
Judge Terrell handed the commun-
lcation and accompanying circulars to
Hon. John Minto and instructed him
