of the United States may from time to time set
apart and reserve in any State or Territory having public land bearing
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
the establishment of such reservations and the limits thereof.

And whereas the public lands in the State of Washington within the
limits hereinafter described are in part covered with timber, and it
appears that the public good would be promoted by setting apart and
reserving said lands as a public reservation:

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 State of Washington and within the boundaries
particularly described as follows, to wit:

Beginning at the southeast corner of township twenty-one (21) north,
range five (5) west, Willamette base and meridian, Washington; thence
northerly along the surveyed and unsurveyed range line between ranges
four (4) and five (5) west to the point for the northeast corner of
township twenty-three (23) north, range five (5) west; thence easterly

southeast corner of township twenty-four (24) north, range four (4)
