WILL STRIP INDIAN
LAND OF TIMBER

McALESTER, Okla, March 12.-
The forest reserve of 1900 acres
OF pine and hardwood timber land be-
longing TO the Choctaw nation is TO
be stripped OF its timber 10 its small
est trees through destructive lumber
ing. This land was reserved from
allotment by the government that
the tribe rather than individual In
dian should derive benefit from its
wealth of valuable timber.
Now the government has advertised
the public sale OF this alnd and its
timber. Expert government loggers
have estimated that there are 1,043.-
100000 feet of pine and 14l,OOO,OOO
feet OF hardwood timber OF CONNER
cial value.
Purchasers may buy both the land
and the timber, or only the timber.
The land has been appraised at from
% cents to 1925 an acre, and the
pine at a minimum of 50 thousand
feet and the hardwood at 81 thou
sand feet. IL only the timber should
be purchased, the numbering must be
done in accordance with the govern
ment's forestry regulations, which re-
quire that trees OF IL inches or less
in diameter may not be cut and that
all debris must be. piled in a certain
manner, to protect the standing TIM
Der against forest fires.
A few lumber companies are pre-
pairing TO buy all the land and timber.
In buying only the timber, lumber
men feel that they would be subject
ed to some expense and annoyance
by the forestry regulations, and in ad-
dition would be deprived OF opportun-
ity TO cut the timber below IL inches
In diameter.
They estimate that the market
value of this small timber would pay
for the alnd, leaving the big timber
as clear protftI,tEss cost OF -itffi-
bering. etc.
This method of numbering would
strip the land bare OF its timber and
leave the debris exposed to the full
sweep OF forest fires. Such young
trees as might escape the loggers ak
would stand little chance OF surviving
fire. Were the timber alone sold,
about as much money would be real
lied for the Indians now, and In 20
years the pine forests would be ripe
for the logger again.
