Inc sale or this property to the United
states was due to the desire Of George
w. Vanderbilt TO insure the conserya-
ton Of the forest after his death. A
year ago he offered II to the commas
sion under the terms Of the Weeks act
providing for the requirement of lands
| on the headwaters of navigable streams
in order to conserve the water supplv.
Although he could have sold the tract To
individuals at a much larger price he
offered $1,000 acres to the commission
at 1915 an acre, subject to a contract
he had made two years previously with
the Carr Lumber Company under which
1t was allowed to cut timber over sixteen
Inches in diameter for a period Of
| twenty years at the price Of $l2 an acre.
In addition 1900 acres Of virgin forest
| was offered at ST an acre.
The commissioners inspected the
property in June and at a meeting in
Washington decided not to purchase II.
II was understood that they reasoned
that Mr.. Vanderbilt would preserve the
tract In entirety and thus the Govern
ment would have all the advantages Of
| purchase without the expenditure OF
| money which could be used to buy other
| lands.
on May l last Mrs Vanderbilt wrote
the commission that her husband

way she would sell to the Government

acres. at S. an acre. The commission
promptly accepted this proposition.
which represented a price 100000 less
than the original offer. 1t Is expected
that the Government will take title to
the property In about six months.

will retain the name given II by MT.
