The Presidents Proclamation.

The official proclamation of President
Mckinley, whereby part of the Olympic
forest reserve is to be thrown open to
the public for entry, was received at the
local land office yesterday. The proclama-
ton was signed by the president at WASH
ington yesterday.
The lands affected arc situated principal
ly in Clallam and Jefferson counties, near
the towns of Quillayute, Forks, Shuwah,
Albright, La Push and Boston, and in
clude valuable timber lands as we'll as
those devoted TO grazing and farming.
When the reserve was declared closed two
years ago 1t worked a serious detriment
to the prosperity Of Clallam county. Set
tiers were kept from entering, and the
lands of many who had made proper fill
ings were taken from them and reverted
to the United States. The result was
that the majority of these isolated Sec
lions abandoned their holdings. The
finances of the county, were also affected
as the reserve included In its limits many
acres of taxable property.
Although the lands are now open, they
are not subject to entry or filing until
ninety days after such time as is named
by the department of the interior The
reason of this is to give the land office
time to determine exactly the status of
the lands conveyed. Where the land has
never been filed upon, there will be no diff
ficuty for settlers. Other portions are COW
cred by entries, but the title is not COM
pleted In third class the title has been
