Indians Request Forest Reserve to Supply Timber and Prevent Floods
Chief of the Bureau of Forestry backs a four million acre forest reserve in the Indian Territory to provide a steady timber supply and curb floods along a thousand miles of the Red River. The plan, approved by Girard Pinchot, aims to defend the withdrawal from allotments as Indians and local leaders urged. The draft report to the Secretary of Agriculture contends the reserve would not exhaust all Indian lands and that much of the land is suitable for allotment after arable evaluation. Also notes withdrawals of Oregon, Idaho, and Wyoming lands for reserve expansion, with court challenges possible over Secretary of Interior authority.
