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 third, eighteen hundred and ninety-one, entitled "An act
to repeal the 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 Utah, 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, William McKinley, President of the United States, by
virtue of the power in me vested by section twenty-four 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 Utah and particularly described as follows,
to wit:

Beginning at the northeast corner of section four (4), township ten (10)
south, range three (3) east, Salt Lake base and Meridian, Utah; thence
westerly along the township line to the northwest corner of section five
(5), township ten (10) south, range two (2) east; thence southerly to
the northeast corner of section nineteen (19), said township; thence
westerly to the northwest corner of said section; thence southerly along
the range line to the southwest corner of township twelve (12) south,
range two (2) east; thence easterly to the southeast corner of said
township; thence northerly to the northwest corner of section thirty
(30), township eleven (11) south, range three (3) east; thence easterly
to the southeast corner of section twenty-one (21), said township;
thence northerly along the section line to the northeast corner of
section four (4), township ten (10) south, range three (3) east, to the
place of beginning.

Excepting from the force and effect of this proclamation all lands which
may have been, prior to the date hereof, embraced in a
