BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas it is provided by section twenty-four 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,

shall, by public proclamation, declare the establishment of such
reservations and the limits thereof;"
And whereas it is further provided by the act of Congress, approved
June 4, 1897 entitled, "An act making appropriations for sundry civil
expenses of the Government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898, and
for other purposes," that "The President is hereby authorized at any
time to modify any executive order that has been or may hereafter be
made establishing any forest reserve, and by such modification may
reduce the area or change the boundary lines of such reserve, or may
vacate altogether any order creating such reserve;"

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, William McKinley, President of the United States, by

Reservation in the State of Wyoming, known as "The Big Horn Forest
Reserve," create
