FOREST RESERVE TAKES
WESTERN JOSEPHINE
Covers Oyer 10000 Acrer or Il
Townships-3O.OOO Acres
OF II School Lands.

A copy Of the presidents prolcama-
tion has been received at the COVER
nors' office at Salem creating the
Siskiyou forest reserve, comprising
about one-balf Of Josephine County
and two or three townships Of Doug
las County. This 10 the reserve con-
oerning which strong protest was
made year or two ago by residents
Of Curry county. As originally plan
ned, the reserve included about three
ffths of Curry county, but the pro-
tests were 10 strong and persistent
that the lines Of the temporary with
drawals were changed and in finally
creating the reserve no Curry county
lands are included.
The reserve covers over 700, 900
acres, or about 81 townships. reaching
from the California line to the South
,ern part of Douglas County, taking in
nearly all the western half Of jose
prime county.
The state is affected by the creation
of this reserve by reason of the fact
that within its borders are about
80, 600 acres Of unsold school lands,
which the state can use as base for
the selection of lieu land, thereby
realizing about 81 to 81 an acre for
the land.
The governor has also received
notice OF the creation of the Fremont
forest reserve in Eastern Oregon.
This reserve is situated in Crook and
klamath counties, extending from
a point about l2 miles south of Bend
southwark to the klamath Indian
Reservation. This reserve comprises
the greater part of 70 townships. ex'
tending in irregular form from the
Cascade. Reserve easterly to range II
and north and south from township Ii
to township 33.
