To What Extent the Timber on Public
Lands May BE Used.

We make the following extracts from
the governments regulations concerning
the free appropriation of timber on pub
lie lands:
The uses for which timber may be
fclled or removed are limited by the
wording of the law to "building, agri-
culture. mining, or other domestic pur-
poses.
No timber is permitted to be felled or
removed for purposes Of sale or tru!Fc, or
TO manufacture the same into lumber.
No growing timber OF nny description
whatsoever less than eight inches III di-
amotcr are permitted to be cut.
Persons Telling or removing timber
under the provisions OF this act must use
all of each tree cnt that can be proiit-
ably used. and must dispose of the tops,
brush and other refuse in such manner
as to prevent the spread of forest fires.
Settlers upon public lands and other
residents of the states and territories
may procure timber free of charge from
unoccupied. unreserved, nonmineral pub
lie lands strictly for their own use for
iirewuod, fencing, buildiug, or other ngrl-
cultural, mining, manufacturing. or do
nestle purposes not to exceed II stump
age value of $50, but not for sale or dis
posal, nor for Use by other persons. nor
