CUTTING OF TIMBER ON GOVERNMENT MIN- ERAL LANDS, Some time ago Gen. Sparks, the commissioner ‘of the general land office, issued a circular giv- ing a system of regulations governing the cut- ting of umber for azricultural and domestic purposes on the mineral lands in the west. These rules prohibited the cutting of timber ex- ceptin the vicinity where it was to becon- sumed; forbid ts use for manufacturing pur- poses, and provided that a settler cond not pay for its cutting, but must do it himself, ‘These new rules have serfously Interferred with the settlers and infringed upon thelr rights, and in consequence a great number of petitions and protests have been received at the Interlor de- partment, When Assistant Secretary Jenks looked into the matter he found thut the com- missioner had prepared these regulations and had them Issued, expecting that they would re- ceive the sanction of the Sceretary of the In- terior. This has never been given, and to-day an official statement was prepared at the In- terior department to the effect that these regu- lations were “issued inadvertently and with- out authority of law.” Continuing, it says: “The subject is now under consideration by the department, and when any change 1y made in the present’ regulations it will be properly an- nounced.” ——— Society.
