Clearly. if I nuderstood it as it was read at the desk. it means that no person shall be permitted to trespass upon this property. to eat timber. or to settle upon it. or do anything of the sort until the War Department determine what to do with it. It is legislation to all intents and purposes. and if the Senator proposes it for adoption this morning he must expect to have it discussed. Nobody. I suppose. is prepared properly to discuss it now. It is a very strange proposition anyhow. that where there is a world of vacant territory. and we are moving heaven and earth to get emigrants from Europe to fill it up. we should be asked to set apart national parks every day of time week. It does not seem to me that the proposition has any foundation in taste or necessity.
