WILLIAM McKINLEY.
By the President:
JOHN HAY,
_Secretary of State._
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 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 within the boundaries particularly
described as follows, to wit:
Beginning at the northeast corner of Section twenty-four (24), Township
twenty-four (24) South, Range two (2) East, Salt Lake Base and Meridian,
Utah; thence southerly along the range line to the northeast corner of
Section thirteen (13), Township twenty-five (25) South, Range two (2)
East; thence easterly along the section line to the northeast corner of
Section eighteen (18), Township twenty-five (25) South, Range three
(3) East; thence southerly along the section line to the Fifth (5th)
Standard Parallel South; thence westerly along said parallel to the
northeast corner of Township twenty-six (26) South, Range two (2) East;
thence southerly along the range line to the southeast corner of said
township; thence westerly along the township line to the southwest

(5th) Standard Parallel South; thence easterly along said parallel to
the southwest corner of Township twenty-five (25) South, Range two (2)
East; thence northerly along the range line to the northwest corner of
Section nineteen (19), Township twenty-four (24) South, Range two (2)
East; thence easterly along the section line to the northeast corner of
Section twenty-four (24), said township, the place of beginning.
