a bill providing for the establishment of State forests under the au- 

 thority of a constitutional amendment passed two years ago for mak- 

 ing forest reserves of lands found by the soil survey fit only for timber- 

 growing, such lands having now been designated. 



The legislature of the State of Washington enacted at its last session 

 a law providing for an exchange of State lands with the Forest Service. 

 An appropriation of $7,500 for examination was carried in the bill, 

 which was signed by the Governor. 



Chief Forester Graves had previously approved the selection of lands 

 by the State in the Sultan River basin, Snoqualmie Forest, which the
