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 point for the southwest corner of township twenty-nine
(29) north, range eight (8) east, Willamette meridian, Washington;
thence northerly along the unsurveyed range line between ranges seven
(7) and eight (8) east to the point for the northwest corner of township
thirty-two (32) north, range eight (8) east; thence easterly along the

twenty-two (22) and twenty-three (23) east; thence southerly along said
unsurveyed range line, subject to the proper easterly or westerly
