Washington. D. C.-The President
has signed proolamations eliminating
1862 acres from the Battlement and
GIGS acres from the White River ma
tional forest. These eliminations are
the result Of q careful field examine
ton made ON all national forests by
the department Of agriculture during
the summer of 1903.
The examinations resulted In data
as to the character of lands along the
forest boundaries. The object sought
was to learn both where lands within
the boundaries should be excluded
from the forests and where outside
land should, in the interest Of their
best use in accordance with the prin-
ciples laid down by law for the crea-
ton of national forests, be brought
within the boundaries. Since, however,
no increase in the national forest
area of Colorado can be made by the
President. the proclamations concern
only the areas which have been found
suitable for elimination.
The lands excluded from the Battle
ment forest are rolling foothills or level
flats along the exterior boundaries
The largest and most important
changes are at the extreme west end
of the Battlement mesa division and
at the extreme northwest corner OF
the Grand mesa division.
From the White River national for
est the exclusions are principally rug
ged foothills without commercial tim
Der. The principal elimination Is in
the extreme southeastern corner OF
the forest and includes portion OF
the Grand river and Rifle creek water
sheds.
The unappropriated portions of the
areas eliminated will be restored to
settlement and entry after advertise
ment in the local papers by the sec
rotary of the interior.
