GROVER CLEVELAND.

By the President:
RICHARD OLNEY,
_Secretary of State_.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

A PROCLAMATION.

Whereas it is provided by section 24 of the act of Congress approved
March 3, 1891, entitled "An act to repeal timber-culture laws, and for
other purposes"--

That the President 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 Montana 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 Montana and within the boundaries particularly
described as follows, to wit:

Beginning at the point on the south boundary of the Blackfeet Indian
Reservation where said boundary line is intersected by the range line
between ranges eight (8) and nine (9) west, principal meridian, Montana;
thence southwesterly along the south boundary to the southwest corner of
said reservation and northwesterly along the west boundary thereof as
defined and described in the act of Congress approved June 10, 1896,
entitled "An act making appropriations for current and contingent
expenses of the Indian Department and fulfilling treaty stipulations
with various Indian tribes for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1897,
and for other purposes," to the point where the unsurveyed range line
between ranges twelve (12) and thirteen (13) west will intersect said
boundary line; thence southerly along said unsurveyed range line to the
point for the northeast corner of township twenty-nine (29) north, range
thirteen
