GOVERNMENT FORESTRY LANDS
Authoritative Statement Relative to
Payments for Certain Tracts.

Following is copy Of a letter re-
ccived by Congressman Aiken rela-
tive to lands under contract of pur-
chase by the Federal government:
Department Of Agriculture, Wash
ington, ID. c., Aug. 81, l915.-Hon.
Wyatt Aiken, House of Representa-
tives-Dear Mr.. Aiken: Receipt is
acknowledged of your letter Of Au-
gust "a, 1915, advising that COM
plants have been received by you
from constituents concerning the de-
lays being experienced by them in
cred by agreements of purchase exc
cuted with this department.
Under the provisions Of the Weeks
Forestry Law (36 Stat, 961,) this
department cannot make payment
!'' lava. .. 20 t.l1TrG Hereunder
u.' 'ao N.tn lioI.to hes been Al
D.o .,.I d. tho A,ton4cy General Of
the Iau"d &.arcs. and there Is 10
provision in ta> Act Tor .ho payment
Of iuter>5. on the purchase price
pending the survey OF the land, ex-
animation Of title, and the taking
over OF title to and possession Of the
lands by the United States
In making the statement, 1.-The
government has the land" 1t is be-
fnl I,,ic
as to the true conditions existing.
While lands covered by agreements
OF purchase are under protection
from fire by the department, there
is no desire or attempt on the part
of the department to restrain the use
OF same in any way not calculated
to diminish their value. The price
at which the lands are to be acquir-
ed being fixed by the agreement of
purchase, it is, Of course, not pre-
sumed that any timber will be cut
from the lands, as to do so would
materially diminish their value to
the government, and it is provided
in the agreement that this shall not
be done.
In the case you mention-and the
same conditions are typical Of many
other cases in your e+ate-the ven-
doris agree to deli cr 20 the United
States safe title to the lands, salts
factory to the Attorney General Of
the United States. This, in many in
stances, they have failed to do, the
titles presented having been found
defective, and the vendors unable to
remove the defects. 1t has, there
fore, been necessary for the depart
ment to request the Attorney Gene
raj OF the United States to institute
condemnation proceedings for the ac-
quisition Of the lands, under the Act
Of August !, 1888, (25 Stat, L.,
350, as is provided for by the terms
Of the agreement. The department
requested condemnation of the Rus
sell lands November 5. 1914, and Of
the Carter lands under dates Of De-
cember s, Q and 10, 1914.
AS you are doubtless aware, the
handling of the condemnation rro-
ceedings Is n function OF the Depart
ment of Justice, and any delays in
these proceedings is matter which
should be taken up with that depart
ment. When the award has been
made by the court in the proceed
ings, and the proceedings have been
approved by the Attorney General,
as is necessary, this department will
use every effort to expedite immedi-
ate payment Of the awards in these
cases. Very truly yours,
(Signed) d. f. Houston,
Secretary.
