procure such amendments and modifications oi of the timber law as would relieve the inhabitants of the territories from the impositions of the tum page system I 1 more than half a century ago laws were passed by congress concerning timber on the public domain by reading these statutes it will be discovered discovered that the object of these laws was principally ily lly to preserve the tho live oak and red cedar for thi the e use of the united states navy iron vessels being chri practically unknown A few years subsequently other laws jaws were made on oin the rhe same samo subject which incidentally y mentioned 11 othi other timber than live oak audred andred and aud red cedar as similarly forbidden to be cut and carried tarried away but still the principal i of the law applied to ship timber the pett peti alty for the breach of this thia law lavt was fino fine aud and imprisonment this might be ali AI Ivery all very well past a certain point of use necessary to settlement odthe of the coun coph country try in fiat flat 0 or rolling or slightly mountainous thickly wooded regions where one dri had nothing to do but dri drive v o blado biado ones wagon or sleigh ight into the timber and cut clit and arid haul away the same bame without aby any other trouble or expense dk pense but that situation does not rot exist in this region in the first place this whole territory and region wilen when those laws were w v t considered waste wate desert searce scarce scarcely Jy land laud in the second place costly experience peri ence has proved that in regard to that matter those early views of this region if not wholly were very largely true in the third place there is no timber in this territory of easy access excepting in a very few instances and that is scarcely fit for anything but firewood and a little perhaps for fencing and consequently can hardly be dignified with the name of timber in the fourth place such timber as there is in this territory and can properly be called such ia its situated in almost every instance on the precipitous sides of the mountains up steep an drugged can caf canons cannons lons inaccessible except at the outlay of enormous means to make road roads s and keep them in repair for fer many miles up the caf canons lons the pacific railroads ed a wonderful triumph of the ingenuity and enterprise of man why surely not because miles and miles of track were vere laid across the plains with scarcely arcely ec any grading at aill all no but because ol 01 the difficulties encountered in crossing the mountains and going through the mountain denies defiles now all these thebe difficulties to a very great degree were previously t encountered and overcome by every city and settlement in utah merely to obtain firewood to keep heep the settlers warm and such knotty gnarled scrubby timber as the adjacent mountains afforded to build houses and bridges and make fences in consequence of this condi tion as to the timber supply the ancient timber laws in question were considered hereabout in courts and out as practically cobeo lete dead inapplicable to thas re there is hereabout no do live oak or red cedar gedar no timber

the case rather have nave a series of regulations been instituted which allow private persons to take tako timber for their own individual use and provide stumpage rates for timber cut and sawn for

made the means of df venting partisan spite the basis of oppressive exactions and mean official tyranny the attention of congress therefore to id this subject is really demanded by the exigencies of
