President Taft has Approved of the new classification of lands, and this makes the vast tract referred to from what was formerly classed as the forest domain. Happily, Gifford Pinchot and his friends approve : of the move that give this land to the homesteaders. 'No charge of corruption attaches to this act of the land department. The President made a thorough In vestigation and found that in Idaho alone almost half a million acres had been unintentionally embraced In the forest domain. This land Is said to be tillable, and It is .believed that, the soil will compare favorably with that surrounding It We also learn that almost a third of the forest reservations are to be re-classified. This, we are told, will mean the throwing . open of more than a million acres to settlement, and no Injury to the cause of hon est conservation will result.- .
