The bill also authorizes the Secretary to t ent or lease lands within the reserves for the purpose of erecting a id main taining Summer resorts, store', mills and other establishments, and to lease suitable reserve land for grazing and other purposes not incompatible with the ohj-'cts for vhioh reserves are. creat ed.

Wherever there shall be a surplus, 2o per cent of such surplus is to go to the school fund of the state or territory in which the reserve is located. Where a reservation lies in rrorfl thau one state, the surplus is to be proportionately di vided. This bill contemplates placing forest reserves on a higher plane than at pres ent, making them more like the Yellow stone and other National parka.
