The Forest Reserve.


The executive order, setting
aside millions OF acres OF land as
forest reservations, is meeting with
opposi ION from western senator's.
The following letter, under date 81
March lS, was recently sent to
President Mckinley BY Senators
Cannon and Mantle:
"To the President. We res.
pect'ully urge upon your excellency
the desirability In behalf OF the
general welfare OF our states. a
complete revocation of the execu.
tive proclamation of Feb. %, 1857.
by which there were set apart
for, st reservations in the states OF
Montana and Utah. Without
desiring to reflect upon the otive
which prompted this action of the
president of Feb. %, 1897, we
hold that the orders were issued
without just consideration for
vested rights and without a com.
prehension of the great needs Of
the people engaged in developing q
healthful civilization in the moup
tain regions of the west, If the
orders are permitted to stand, one
OF two things ust follow either
there must be disregard of their
provisions as sweeping as the
orders were inconsiderate. or there
must be a suspension OF mining
and grazing industries in whole
regions now wealth-producing and
sustaining tens of thousands of
people in our states.
"As an evidence OF the indis.
crimlrate and ill-considered action
resulting in the issuance of the ex.
ecutive orders referred to, it NAV
oe stated that the reservation lines
have been so drawn in many in.
stances as to embrace whole town.
ships, and other improvements,
and so as to cut off the sole and
natural supply of timber for
domestic uses necessary, to the ex-
lstence OF thousands of settlers on
the public domain
"''ln common with AL tho
observers of western progress and
need, we are in favor OF preserving
the sources of water supply and
the maintenance OF such restrict
ions as will wisely preserve and en-
large the forest domain in the
mount tains. But it is certainly an
aosurdity to make a forest reser.
