T. w. Mckinley, Timber Cruiser

is now investigating cases in the
Blackfoot Land District was through
Blackfoot recently. He states that
many people are apparently not a
ware that to procure timber from va
cant Government lands without the
proper authorization constitutes q
trespass and renders the offender H.
able to fine and imprisonment. Per-
mits may be secured from Mr.. Ralph
S. Kelley, Chief of Field Division,
Salt Lake City, Utah. In making re-
quests for timber for individual use
such as derrick and corral poles, Gel
lar poles, fence posts, fuel wood etc,
the amount and kind of material wan
ted, the description of the lands by
township and range, section number
and subdivision and for what purpose
the material is to be used must be set
forth. Timber can not be cut for
sale or exchange and if someone is
procuring the timber as agent for an
other, the rate per day or unit mea-
,ure must be given. Timber can not
be removed from lands entered under
he homestead laws. The Government |
makes no charge but requires strict
observance of the regulations.

For six months the doctor repeatedly

months the fish came up and nibbled
