One of the important functions of 

 the insular bureau of forestry is that of 

 making available to investors the fullest 

 information, and lumbermen visiting 

 the islands will not only secure general 

 data from its headquarters at Manila 

 but will supplement this in the various 



localities by the cooperation of the for- 

 estry men in the field. 



The Bureau of Insular Atfairs at 

 Washington has general descriptions 

 and maps showing the location of a 

 number of the tracts available, which 

 will furnish preliminary data to those 

 who may be in a position to be inter- 

 ested in developing this most promising 

 field for hardwood lumber.
