MAY OPEN UP
QUINIAULT ROAD
Interior Department Examin-
ing Burn" With View
Of Settleing

That the government officials are
taking steps toward the opening of
the agricultural lands, known as the
burn in the Quiniault country, is
learned from letter from the forest
ry service of the department of agr-
culture, which states that 277.5O acres
will be thrown open for settlement
soon. The land to be thrown open,
has been applied for through the reg
ular channels, and the information
says that the requests for land in this
section are many.
The burn as it is known. COM
prises about 5000 acres of agricul-
tural land. More than 20 years ago,
Jake Ererly. a settler of the Quiniault
valley, during a dry day, set fire to
the timber to make blackberry
patch. The fire got good start and
as the result of Ererly's act, more
than 60.OO0,000 fet of standing timber
was burned. The burned trees, with
the exception of the cedar has since
rotted, but the big cedar trees, many
of them only a shell are still standing
and the government refuses to open
this land for settlement, because its
officials are of the opinion that it
lis more valuable for timber, than for
agriculture.
For several years settlers have been
endeavoring to have the land opened
for settlement and the first conces
sion by the government has been
made in the listing of the 277 acres
of land for settlement.
The land in the burn is fertile and
if once thrown open, many fine farms
would be the result.
