The so, 900. 900 odd acres of In
dian forest in the confines of the
Nezperce Indian reservation are &c
be under the direct control Of James
Stuart. the intelligent Indian survey
or, who has been recommended for
the position Of ranger by Suprrin-
tendent F. A. Fem Of the Bitter
Root reserve, who has general sup
ervision over local Indian forests.
Major Eenn will forward to Wash
ington this week complete plats for
all of the Indian timber lands. to-
gether with complete information on
the character of the land, with rec
ommendation which, If adopted. viii
be followed in administering the
tribal timber lands on this reserva-
ton.
Through an agreement recently
made by the secretary OF the interior
and the secretary of agriculture. the
Indian timber lands of the United
States will be administered BY the
forestry department. branch Of the
department Of agriculture. This
does not mean that the Indian lands
have been withdrawn from the In
dian department, but that the forestry
is to have charge of the
administration of the forests, but the
Indian agent, who is under the sec
retary of the interior, viii draw all |
leases and collect all revenue accru-
ing from the forests of the Indians.
James Stuart, with a crew of rod
and chain men, has just completed a
Of the Indian forests, and he
has made a report which shows the
amount, character and variety OF
timber in these reserves, and on his
judgment will rest the ultimate de-
cision OF control for he has SUBJ
divided the land into timber, grazing
and agricultural areas, and Major
Fem will base his recommendations
on this report. II is the intention Of
The government to make the timber
lands Of the Indians income bearing,
and ripe timber will be logged and
millsd under the direction of the
forest ranger in charge, the profits
going into the tribal treasury.
The grazing lands will be leased
under sealed bids il Major Fenn's
advice is followed, which is expected.
and the leaseholder will be allowed
10 fence the tracts. Leases will
probably be drawn for five years in
,rder that the leases may be made
attractive, but all improvements will
belong to the tribe and cannot be re-
moved when the lease expires. The
agriculture land will be leased and
armed, the revenue also going into
ribal fund.
The Indians have recently grown
that their timber lands
we're to be thrown open for entry,
or several citizens have applied for
ling privileges, but they have been
ienied this right, although many Of

ons who desire to file and they ex-
,scs 10 make an effort 10 have the

the only way the Indian lands can
pass from the hands of the tribe is
: through a supplemental treaty,
} which much be approved by an act
of congress.
\ So apprehensive are the Indians
that il is probable that tribal council
will be held for the purpose of dis
cussing the threatened invasion and
Major Fem has asked for the privi-
lege Of explaining the plan of admin
istration to the red men. The fact
that James Stuart is to be in direct
charge Of the forests and that edu-
Gated Indians will do the patrol
work is believed to be all that is
necessary to allay the fears of the
superstitious members of the tribe.
The strict administration which will
be inaugurafed will mean the abso-
lutte protection of the forests. and
citizens who have heretofore been in
the habit Of getting their 6rewood
from the Indian domain viii find that
they can no longer prey on the open
forest. but the fuel, if secured, must
be paid for and lumber taken from
the forests will be sold under the |
direction of the forest officers.
