Mr. McN: a little over a million acres. We think the best land for the lines within bounday we have outlined; there would be no big bill of expense to care fot it. A statement has been made to the effect that this is the most valuable tract of virgin forest inr both a National Park and Forest Reserve. Most of this is quite a distance from the railroad, Q. How would the Government derive any benefit from it: ? Mr. McNamee cited his views on Scientific Forestry Experiment, matiured Stated that when the trees a re gnran and have attained their growth, they are not going to grow any more, and are cut.
