PRESIDENT TAFT ACcEDES TO
DEMANDS OF GOVERNOR AND
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
STATE RESERVE COMING
Plan Proposed to Create a Montana
Forest as Soon as Lands Can Be
Selected in Lieu Of the School Sec
tons in tho National Forestry
Districts.

Helena, Jan. 1,--(SpeciaD President
Taft and Secretary of the interior
Fisher have approved of the plan sub
mitted by Governor Edwin l.. Norris
and Attorney General Galen for the
creation in Montana of state forest
reserve which will embrace four to five
hundred thousand acres of land This
matter is treated OF In n report made
by Attorney General Galen to the state
board of land commissioners on the
conference held at Washington early
In December.
Approval of this plan ends prob
lem that has vexed the state ever since
the creation of the national forests.
The state has contended that 1t was
entitled to sections 16 and 36 I'm the
national forests whether surveyed or
unsurveyed and a climax was precipi-
tated two years ago at Bolton when
the state forciby asserted its title To
section Of land as basis for going
into court
President Taft concurred in the views
of the Montana officials and admitted
IT was only fair to the state to permit
1t to select timber lands of equal value
to those 1t relinquished instead OF be-
ing forced to accept agricultural or
grsving lands
While legislation to secure this may
be necessary, the president direr.ad the
officials to go ahead with lie plnn
and promised that federal officials will
also cooperate. Then, II legislation is
found to be needed. he viii support
It. When the state lands to be re-
llnquished are appraised and a suitable
compact body Of timber lands of equal
value In a Montana national forest
is selected. the president viii issue a
proclamation excluding this tract from
the forest, 50 the state can file upon
II. The lieu selections Will give the
state tract containing between four
and five hundred thousand acres.
While the law gives the state CO.
day preference right in which to file,
when lands have been withdrawn for
purposes of examination to ascertain
the existence of coal, the state has
been denied the preference right when
the lands were restored. The president
agreed that the state should have Its
right upon the restoration of such
tracts. This will enable the state to
secure the finest land for its grants,
instead of the poorest, as heretofore
the settlers have filed ahead of the
state. which had 10 be content with
land the individuals would not have.
Other land matters were also ajusled
satisfactorily to the state.

Class Ad History
CCXVH.-THE REASON is PLAIN.

There is reason why The Missoulian class ad
brings results. That reason is apparent to every
judge of advertising value. The newspaper whose
class ads lead in its field is the newspaper which the
people read. This is recognized principle among
advertising experts. The Mssoulian leads in cassi-
fled advertising in Montana. Every day furnishes
an example of the excellence of its classified service

speak lightly OF the chestnut and

marrons are an exceedingly whole

In some districts OF Pennsylvania
much attention is now given to the
