So far as the requirements of law for sale after advertisement to the highest bidder will permit sales are made to small men. so as to prevent monopoly by disposing of timber to large corporations. Is this denied? Timber valued at $500.945.76 was sold during the last fiscal year. The time allowed for cutting was from one to five years and amount actually received for timber cut and removed amounted to $242.668.23. Settlers and residents are given free use of timber in establishing and maintaining their homes. Is that true? Is that policy worth nothing? Does that deter immigration? It invites it. The man with a prairie farm. with no timber plot upon it. deelus himself very unfortunate.
