est was aroused when the Um-

purchase or obtain by condem-
nation proceedings any of land
suitable for forest, which is
conveniently located for the
purpose and under the direc-
ton of the State Forester,
manage the same on forestry
principles? The newspaper ac-
count states that it carried by
two to one vote.
