forests, in any part of the public lands wholly or in part covered with
timber or undergrowth, whether of commercial value or not, as public
reservations; and the President shall by public proclamation declare

Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, by
virtue of the power in me vested by section 24 of the aforesaid act of
Congress, do hereby make known and proclaim that there is hereby
reserved from entry or settlement and set apart as a public reservation
all those certain tracts, pieces, or parcels of land lying and being
situate in the States of Idaho and Montana and within the boundaries
particularly described as follows, to wit:
Beginning at the northeast corner of township thirty-six (36) north,
