Secretary Garfield today promulgated a regulation to this ef fect, basing It upon the language of the law, which says (hat timber lund shall be gold "for minimum price of $2.50 per acre." Garfield holds that if $2.50 is the minimum price, a great er amount can legally be charged for Valuable timber lands. Under the new regulation a person desiring to make a timber entry must file his application, accompanying It by an affidavit staging that he hat been personally upon the land and must submit his own estimate as to the amount of timber and its value and value of land, when cleared. These filings will give him a preference right to the land. ' Wlthln nine months the government will undertake to make its own ap praisal and, when this Is done, the ap pllcant can have the land at the gov- ! ernment's price, but his preference right will be forfeited If he fallb to make payment within 30 days after the Interior department completes its appraisal. Whenever the government fails to complete appraisal within nine months,, the applicant can secure the fir and IVative Lumber, Gedar T i-'-' Shingles : STODDARD LUMBER CO.
