THE NATIONAL FOREST MANUAL 



AMENDMENT NO. 140 INSTRUCTIONS. 



October 15, 1912. 



Settlement. On page 41, paragraph 2, Condition 1, insert, "and 

 opening to entry" after the word "listing" in the second line so as 

 to make it read : 



1. When the applicant wishes to occupy the land which has been 

 examined and favorably reported upon, pending its listing and open- 

 ing to entry under the act of June 11, 1906. 



Also, in the first closely spaced paragraph on page 41, which is to 

 be inserted in permits issued under Conditions 1 and 2, substitute 

 "opened to entry" for the word "listed" in the third line thereof, 

 making it read as follows : 



This permit shall not be construed to give the permittee any 

 preference right of entry under the act of June 11, 1906. This per- 

 mit shall terminate when the land is opened to entry, but if it be 

 shown that the permittee has not the preference right of entry, the 

 listing of the land will be deferred by the Secretary of Agriculture to 

 protect the growing crops 



These amendments are made in view of the provision in the cur- 

 rent appropriation act providing that "no lands listed under the act 

 of June 11, 1906, shall pass from the Forest until patent issues." 

 They shall not apply, however, to any lands listed prior to August 

 10, 1912. 



A. F. POTTER, 



Acting Forester.
