CLAIMS FOREST DE-
 APARTMENT IS UNFAIR

EDITOR OF THE WILLIAMS NEWS.
 Dear Sir: In attempting to procure a homestead in the Coco nino Forest I am informed by the Forest Service at Albuquerque that on account of the arid character of these mountain lands, with an al titude from 5000 to 5000 feet and a rainfall from twelve to twenty inches annually, the Service will issue me Especial use permit" to occupy the 16O acres applied for; that inside of five years if I de- monstrate to the satisfaction of the Service that the land will produce agricultural crops 1 can make a proof of it and procure the Home stead Claim, provided I comply with the Homestead law in the meantime. My contention is that such ruling as this, is wholly unwarranted and unfair and with out law to sustain it, and under the act of June Il, 1906 makes the settler a trespasser. That the ap- plicant is entitled under the act to have the land listed for settlement and be given a right to file his homestead. Section 5 of this act reads as follows:
 That nothing herein contained shall be held to authorize any future settlement on any land with in the forest reserves until such lands have been opened to settle ment as provided in this act"
 The provision in the act for settlement of these lands is that on application of settler to file on a tract, the Secretary of the Interior, if the land is agricultural in charac ter and has no value out of which the Government can derive a great CT asset, shall open the land for settlement and so declare.
 The matter of placing a settler on the land to set up an experi- ment station to prove it's agricul- tural value is wholly prepostrous, and an attempt to "Pinchot" the settler and place him at the mercy of a set of fadists. Secretary Will son to the contrary not-w with stand ing. J. F. DAGGs.
