' A Oreat Inert. -
; 'During the last fiscal year there was
an unnrrredentrd increase In commuted
, ' 1 homeftcail entries, and entries under the
timhor and atonu act. In 1902 there
were commuted homestead entrlea
In 1903 there were S.2fla such entries
In 1901 there were 4.022 fntrles under
' the timber and stone act, while In 1903
there were 12.H4!) such entries. The In-
crease In desert land entries was only
normal, there having been 6,480 sucn in
1902 and 6.903 In 1903.
"Investigation made by thte office In
' dlrate that nearly all of the great num
ber of entrle recently made under the
. timber and stone act were made upon
timbered land; also that a large propor
tlon of the commuted homestead entrie
were for such lands; and a large per-
contago of the remainder of such en
- trie were upon pasture or grating lands.
i .There is much evidence , going to
ehow that many of "these entrlea were
- - -. not made for the sol use and benefit of
the entrymen. Final action on all bus
peoted entries lias been suspended In
'this oftice, and wherever evidence of
''. fraud or collusion Is found the entries
'. will be cancelled. It will be a dlfllcult
matter, however, to obtain the neces
v aary evidence." He then cltee the de
'.. clslon of the supreme court In the case
V of the United States vs. Budd, in which
t the court adds;
Explanation.
.,; 'That all the act of June S, 178
'.. (timber and stone act) denounces 1 a
v prior 'agreement by which the patentee
. acts for another in the purchase.
- "That M. might rightfully go or send
- Into the vicinity of the land and make
' known generally to Individual a willing
"', nes to buy timber land at a price in
, ..." - excess of that which It would cost to ob
' ' tain it from the government, and that a
; person knowing of that offer might
' '. rightfully go to the land office and pur
chase a timber lot from the government
"', and transfer It to If. for the stated ex
. .' cess without violating the act of June
s, lm."
"In view of this decision," says Com
' - mlsaioner Richards, "it Is my opinion
that the greater portion of the suspend-
' td timber and stone entries will event-
ually be patented, notwithstanding the
fact of almost conclusive evidence that
many of them were made for the bene-
tit of some one other than the entryman.
"While this law la generally thought
of aa being on specially vVeulated for
' the acquisition ,rtVM4,Viand, quite a
. large numhjiof entries have been made
undej U'where It was alleged that the
. ."" ' itr was chiefly valuable for stone.
, There Is no doubt that In a Very large
fr proportion of such entries the land was
f not desired on account of the stone
which it contained, but for the purpose
, of obtaining control of water or to add
'to holdings the title to which had been
, j obtained under other Jaws. As there are
other laws under which land containing
stone may be entered, it is not neces
. : sary to preserve thla law on that ac
... count '
Into Hand of a Tew.
"Under this timber and stone law mill
ions of acre of our most valuable for
ests have passed into the ownership of a
comparatively few individual or cor
porations, and the country has received
; no adequate return for this property,
either in the shape of money payments
t benefits derived by any considerable
class of citizens. The law was enacted
ti meet the needs of settlers, miners and
, others for timber and atone for building.
mining and other purposes, but it has
been so abused that it should no longer
remain on the statute-books.
t "With reference to .e commuted
homestead law, its original purpose was
to afford relief to homestead entrymen.
. who, after placing valuable improve
ments on their homestead claims, might
from unforeseen causes find It impos
sible to maintain their residence upon
them for the full five years required to
compieie weir entries. It la only in ex
ceptional cases, however, that the hom-
steader who has settled upon a tract of
puwic jann with the bona-flde Intention
of making it hi actual permanent home
nnos it necessary to abandon it be
fore the expiration of five years from
the date of his settlement
"Each of these acts furnishes the
means by which individuals and corpora
tions may acquire large holdings of land
. which was not Intended by congress to
be the effect of the laws. The laws
themselves are defective, and when hon-
' estly employed and properly adminls
, ... tered they may be used for purposes for
Which they were never intended.
Hew Timber Act.
"If the timber and stone act is re
pealed, some legislative enactment will
. be necessary providing for acquiring
timber upon the public lands. In my
Judgment, any form of entry would be
as disastrous to the public interest as
: ,iaa been the operation of the present
law, under which timber lands have been
, sold for but a small part of their actual
value. The manner in which timber
upon Indian lands has recently been dis
posed of may furnish an idea upon
which may be constructed a.J.iw for the
i.BpuEiuon oi iimDer upon the public
t pon the Indian lands the Urn-1
lands.
ber Is advertised and sold to the highest
bidder, with the result that tha highest
market price lias been obtained.
"There Is now being advertised for
sale on the ceded portion of the Chip
pewa Indian reservation In Minnesota,
the timber upon 200.000 acres of .land,
upon which there Is estimated to be 600,
000,000 board measure, of lumber. Other
recent sales of a similar class of timber
Indicate that an average price of not less
than $7 per thousand feet will be ob
tained at thin sale. This will make a re
turn of 13.600,000.
"If this land had been disposed of un
der the timber and stone act the govern
ment would have received for It 1500,
000, and the remaining 13,000,000 would
have gone to the entrymen, or those to
whom they had transferred the land lif
ter the entry.
"I am unable' to see why the govern
ment should not exprclse the same de
gree of care and business ability In ad
ministering the timber lands belonging
to the general public as is dona with the
Indian lands.
"Jn my opinion there would be no dif
ficulty in framing a law for the sal of
timber on public lands at public sale,
lifter ndvertlxement, and providing thnt
after the removal of the timber the land
should be subject to homestead entry.
"There should be Included In the bill
a provision for the free use of timber,
In a limited amount, by settlers, ranch
men, miners and others dependent for
their timber upon the public forests.
This course is now being successfully
pursued under departmental regulations
respecting the sale and free use of tim
ber upon forest reserves.
"I recommend that this suggestion be
called to the- attenttnrrof congress, and
If desired a bill will be prepared In this
office along the lines suggested above."
Orasisyr la Torest sVessrvM.
In his annual report Commis
sioner ' Richards devotes much 'at
tention to the . subject of grailng
In forest reserves. Practically no
changes , have been msrt In the rules
and regulations governing graslng In
the forest reserves during the past year,
except the elimination of the supervis
ion and allotment of range and sheep by
wool growers' associations, which asso
ciations, by departments! decision of
Feb. 8, 1902. were allowed to allot the
sheep permitted to grace In the reserves
by the department On Oct. 24, 1902.
the department decided that said asso
ciations should have no Jurisdiction In
this respect.
The graslng question, the commis
sioner says. Is the most perplexing one
with which his office-has to deal In con
nection with forest reserve sdmtnlstra-
tton. Persons who have been In the hab
it of ranging their stock upon lands
Included In a forest reservation are, in
sistent upon continuing ths practice af
ter the reserve is established. The pol
icy of the land office is to minimise the
injury to the gracing Industry to the
extent consistent with Its duty in car
rying out the rules and regulations of
the depsrtment made to regulate the use
and occupancy of the reserves snd to
preserve the forests and water supply.
As a rule, the number of cattle and
horses authorized to enter a forest re
serve Is sufficiently liberal to make sure
of accommodating all the stock of this
kind which has usually grazed on the
lands Included In the reserve when the
number so accustomed to graze is not
excessive. The number of permits Is
sued and the. number of stock covered
thereby therefore affords the best show
lng of the cattle and horse grazing stat
us. For the graslng season or 190
there were 1.928 permits Issued to grase
277,621 head In 32 reserves; for 1902
there were 2,641 permits Issued to graze
367,662 head in 37 reserves, and for 1903
there were 4.421 permlts'to graze 629,
973 head In 44 reserves,
Shea-a Allowed.
The number ef sheep allowed to grass
in a forest reservatiqn the first season
after It Is established ts usually exces
slve, although in some instances it may
be a material reduotlon of the number
that had heretofore grazed on the lands,
In several cases th sheep were not dls
turbed the first season because there
had not been a sufficient Investigation
on which to base intelligent action. In
making its recommendations the object
of the land office is to create the least
possible disturbance of existing graslng
conditions until a fair opportunity is
given for a readjustment thereof, and
to gradually reduce the number of sheep
to be allowed on the reserve where
sheep grazing may be permitted to the
number that the reserve will carry with
out being injured by the grazing.
For the grazing season of .1801 the ae
Dartment authorized the grazing of
1.400.000 head of sheep in ail or parts
of eight reserves; 391 permits were is
sued, covering 1.214.418 head. For the
season of 1902 these same reserves were
opened to 1.197-.000 head, and 484 per
mits were issued, covering l.ioi.oia
head, and in 1903 they were opened to
877,000 head, when 320 permits, covering
812.328 head were Issued. In addition
to these eight reserves, portions of the
newlv constituted Yellowstone reserve
In Wyoming, the Santa Rita In Arizona
Lincoln in New Mexico, Madison and
Little Belt mountains In Montana, and
the Medicine Bow In Wyoming were
opened to the grazing of 601,400 sheep
in 1903. and US permits were issuea,
covering 600.Z39 head.
Criminal Prosecution.
The commissioner reviews the efforts
of the deoartment to punish by criminal
prosecution persons- grazing sheep In
forest reserves in violation of depart
ment rules ancl regulations. A case of
this kind which came before the United
states district court for the southern
district of California led to a decision
that violations of the rules and regula
tions of the interior department respect
ing forest reservations could not be held
to he criminal. Slmllsr suits were
brought in other districts, and In each
ease the decision of the district court of
Southern California was sustained. Fol
lowing these decisions the land office ad
vised Its forest officers to proceed oy
Injunction proceedings in cases of sheep
tresDasses. and In every case where such
proceedings were Instituted the court
granted the injunction, in mmiy

a criminal offense to pasture siocs, in

The land office gives special attention
to aunllcatlons for permits to cross
serve lands with sheep tj reach private
holdings within the reserves. There Is
some abuse of the privileges accorded
by this class of permits, for th private
lands sre not under rence,. frequently
not well defined, snd are In scattered
tracts. For th graslng season of 1901
the department Issued permits to eight
nersens to cross sierra reserve isnas

980 acres of private lands.
The commissioner cite numerous
cases tending to snow mat tne ruies or
the department as to graslng In the re
serves are reasonable and should be

Timber Shipments Across fjtat tla
Commissioner Richard declares that
the forest reserve act of June 4, 1897, la
defective In requiring that all timber
procured from forest reserves shall,
without exception, be used In the Stat
or territory in which the reserve lies.
While such limitation is undoubtedly
well in some instance, yet he say case
arise In which It result In working a
serious hardship. It Is pointed out that
persons living In Wyoming, near the
Black Hills forest reserve, and others
In Montana, near the Big Horn reserve,
arc compelled by their necessities to
violate the law, sine they live on
prairie land and can only secure their
timber from the reserves lying across
the state line. These reserves contain
their natural sources of timber supply.
and yet they are deprived of it. The
same cyiditton exist in Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho and California.
"While leaving this restriction opera-
tive in genera, th secretary of tha, in
terior should be given discretionary
powers in exceptional cases," says Com
missioner Richards. A bill to this effect
was before the last .congress, but failed
to pass. It will undoubtedly Come up
again in the Fifty-eighth congress.
Preservation of Oam rish.
Under existing law all forest officers
and employe are required to aid in the
enforcement -of th local law for the
protection of game and fish In their re
spective reseives. If there could be a
unity of action between the federal and
state authorities, great good could be
accomplished In game protection. A
federal statute which would tend to
harmonize atato legislation upon this
subject without creating a divided Juris
diction over forest reserves and which
would not encroach upon the proprietary
rights of the states to control the game
and fish within their respective bound
aries would do much toward accomplish
ing that purpose.
Another matter which Commissioner
Richards suggests be called to the at
tention of congress Is the need for leg
islation authorizing forest officials to
make arrests for the violation of the
laws and regulations relating to forest
reserves. A bill for this purpose passed
the last senate, but died on the house
calendar.
Boreaa of Forestry Administer Xeserres,
Commissioner RtrhaMs Moses his
chspter on forest reserves with the fol
lowing sentence:
"I recommend that all business in the
general land office pertaining to forest
reserves, except lieu land selections snd
other matters pertaining to or affecting
titles, be transferred to the bureau of
forestry of the department of Agricul
ture."
In support of this recommendation ho
says:
"The dangers to which the reserve
are exposed from fires, timber depreda
tions, and other sources make the estab
llahment of an efficient protective force
a matter of great importance. .Following
closely upon that, however, must com
the application of scientific methods In
dealing with the many and varied forest
problems in connection with the various
Industries affected thereby.
The magnitude of the interests
affected and the intricacies of the prob
lems Involved make it evident that the
development of . forestry in the United
States in connection with our federal
forest reserves, calls for the application
of a system of scientific forestry upon
scale in proportion to the work to be
performed. "Elementary efforts need to
give way -trrthe course of development
of such a system. It would seem, there
fore, that the stage has been reached
when the work should be committed to
the care of men who have had the scien
tific and practical training needed to fit
them to cope with work involving such
far-reaching issues. The bureau of for
estry of the department of Agriculture
Is properly organized and equipped to
carry on this branch of the work.
"The administrative features of forest
reserves also are at present in a very
unsatisfactory condition. In the crea
tion of a new reserve three separate
bureaus must act before a definite
recommendation Is made the bureau of
forestry, the geological survey and this
office. Such a division of Jurisdiction
and responsibility is not -conducive to
the best results. I think it would be
very much better to have the matter of
the location and control of forest re.
serves all in one bureau."
