cock to-day approved the plan recon-
mended by Land Commissioner Richards
which is intended to expedite the disposal
Of ceded Indian lands in Minnesota under
the terms of the Morris act. Delay In
putting timber land on the market has
been caused by the indecision of the for
estry bureau as to the exact area to be
reserved for forestry purposes and it has
been decided to set aside about fifteen
townships for this purpose and to put "a
large tract of timber land outside this
reserved area on the market within a
month The forestry area includes gem
orally. all lands iii townships IA. 145. and
146 north ranges q. oS, 80, 80 and 81 west
embracing practically all the Chippewa
reservation and part of the Winnibigoshish
reservat tion Within these boundaries the
forestry bureau Is to- select approximate tely
115, 900 acres of land 100000 of which are
to be ,timbered and $4,000 agricultural
If any of the lands selected are over
flowed by reason Of the construction of
the Winnihigoshish dam or If any tracts
are allotted to the Indian burea u, the for
estry bureau is to. be: allowed to select
tracts to make up such losses from the
remainder Of thetreserved area. After the
forestry bureau makes it's selections the
timber on all of the 10000 acres of timber
land Is to be logged under the direction. OF
forestry officials. AS to: ceded land. out
side the fifteen townships named above
it is said that plans for putting timber
on the market and opening the agricul-
tural land to settlement and entry are
being pushed. Rules and regulations gov.
erning logging are being prepared together
with a list Of lands from which timber
is to be cut with view to advertise
The advertisement must run six month:
so that bids will not be opened unti

logging next winter. There is posi-
bility that considerable body Of agricul
