Agricultural Areas in Forest Reserve
May be Restored to Public Domain.

May be Restored to Public Domain.
Salt Lake City.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says 1t is
the expectation OF western senators
and congressman that areas of agri.
cultural lands now embraced within
forest reserves will ultimately be re.
stored to the public domain. This ex
pectation grows out of the fact that
Secretary Wilson has ordered the for
est service to maze an examination
and classification OF the various west
esn reserves, setting forth by maps
and by description those areas, now
reserved. which are purely or largely
agricultural lands, as distinguished
from purely timber lands.
This order WAS made at the sug
gestion OF Senator Hepburn OF Idaho
who urged Secretary Wilson to elimi
nate from the reserves OF Idaho all
lands not chiefly valuable for theii
timber The secretary was not pos
sessed OF sufficient data to enable him
at this time to eliminate agricultural
lands in Idaho or other states. but In
informing the senator that he had
called for o classification of lands in
all reserves, he stated ut seems tc
me fair proposition that lands
which would make good homes fol
our people and have no timber upon
them. should be returned to the pub
tic domain
