matter much which is forester so
long-as the original idea is followed.
which IS THE greatest good to the
greater number
As early as ] 100 congress bought
timber land for tho use Of the navy,
but nothing definite toward a ma
tional forest was done until 1876
when congress appropriated $1,000
to hire a competent man to tnres-
tigatc the value Of the timber lands
OF the United States. Finally in
1856 an act to create division of
forestry Of the department Of agri-
culture was passed. IN 1901 this di-
vision became the bureau OF for
estry and in 1905. the forest service.
Practically all the trained foresters
In the United States are now en-
ployed by the service.
The power to create national for
ests as they are now called was first
given to President Harrison in 1891
. by an act authorizing the president
to Withdraw and set aside certain
parts Of the public domain as shall
be suitable for forests Twenty
seven days after the act was passed
or on March 80, 1881. President Har-
rison set aside the .tYelhowstone
Park Timber Land Reserve.
At first on the theory that tile land
and not the trees needed managing
the department of the interior had
authority over these forests, while
the general land Office did the adj
1ninistrativ work. Here were three

ment trying to run one project and
