Worst Blow Against Public Lands Conservation Revival
In San Francisco on February 20 a federal judge in the United States circuit court of appeals affirmed a ruling that allows the Barber Lumber Company and allies to use dummy entrymen to grab timber lands in Idaho. The decision permits dummy entries to borrow money and sell holdings while avoiding fraudulent-ownership concerns, drawing heavy criticism from conservationists. The ruling concerns 210 entry applications in Boise Basin Crooked River and Six-Four lands during 1901-02, after government investigations failed to prove fraud.
