UTAH FOREST RESERVES.
Nearly 100000 Acres Of Land

Washington. March 16.-The geo
logical survey now has under cOnsid-
Grafton the establishment Of forest re-
serves in the mountainous regions of
the state OF Utah. During the past
three years petitions have been re-
ceived from citizens of Utah for the
establishment of small reserves which
would protect their water supply for
irrigation and domestic uses. These
proposed reserves are as follows:
The Lagoon, salt Lake. Spanish Fork.
Tooele. Huntington, Manu, FerrOn,
GunnisOn, Saliua, Aquarius, MOnticel-
10. SEWER Panguitch Lake. Duck Lake
and Colder forest reserves. Pending
an examination which would fix the
boundaries Of those areas most de-
sirable for forest reserve purposes and
eliminate such areas as are most suit
ed for agriculture or grazing. the sec
rotary of the interior acted upon these
petitions and withdrew from entry
about 4,608CO0 acres. A careful exami-
nation was made during the season
OF 1902 and the secretary has decided
20 establish a system Of forest reserves
