Lansing, Mich, Jan. 19.-The state
administration Is still after the So
called pine barrens" and has struck
a plan which it will endeavor to have
Endorsed at the present session Of the

introduce two of the bills at the insti-
cation of the forestry commission and
the land commissioner embodying this
plan. Representative Earl B. Bolton
Of Gaylord, representing the counties
OF Crawford, Montgomery, Oscoda, OF
sego and Pressure Isle, Is entrusted
with the work of defending his con-
stituents against state aggression. Boil
ton comes to the legislature armed
with petition signed by 357 residents
Of Crawford, asking him to do his ut
most to prevent the forestry plan from
being sanctioned by the legislature.
