Mr.. West enlisted the support of
Clifford Pinchot, chief of the forestry
division OF the Interior department,
whose representations, and the
representations of Mr.. West to the
Oregon delegation, resulted in
President Roosevelt taking the
matter out of the hands of Secretary
Hitchcock and ordering Il big area of
land restored to entry In the Blue
Mountain reserve.
Mr.. West says that the area 20
restored was not so large as that

made permanent, other tracts will be
