UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, 



OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, 



September 23, 1910, 



Hereafter, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, unless otherwise ordered, and 

 thereafter, provided Congress shall made the necessary appropriation or authorize 

 the payment thereof, the Department of Agriculture will pay the following rewards: 



First. Not exceeding $250, and not less than $50, for information leading to the 

 arrest and conviction of any person, in any United States court, on the charge of 

 willfully and maliciously setting on fire, or causing to be set on fire, any timber, under- 

 brush, or grass upon the lands of the United States within a National Forest. 



Second. Not exceeding $100, and not less than $25, for information leading to the 

 arrest and conviction of any person, in any United States court, on the charge of 

 building a fire on lands of the United States within a National Forest, in or near any 

 forest timber or other inflammable material, and leaving said fire before the same has 

 been totally extinguished. 



Third. All officers and employees of the Department of Agriculture are barred from 

 receiving reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person 

 or persons committing either of the above offenses. 



Fourth. The Department of Agriculture reserves the right to refuse payment of 

 any claim for reward when, in its opinion, there has been collusion or improper 

 methods have been used to secure the arrest and conviction thereunder, and lo 

 allow only one reward where several persons have been convicted of the same orTonsr 

 or where one person has been convicted of several offenses, unless the circumstances 

 entitle the claimant to a reward on each such conviction. 



These rewards will be paid to the person or persons giving the information leading 

 to such arrests and convictions upon presentation to the Department of Agriculture 

 of satisfactory documentary evidence thereof, subject to the necessary appropriation, 

 as aforesaid, or otherwise, as may be provided by law. 



Applications for reward, made in pursuance of this notice, should be forwarded to 

 the Forester, Washington, D. C.; but a claim will not be entertained unless presented 

 within three months from the date of conviction of an offender. 



In order that all claimants for reward may have an opportunity to present their 

 claims within the prescribed limit, the Department will not take action for three 

 months from date of conviction of an offender. 



(Signed) JAMES WILSON, 



Secretary of Agriculture. 



The above is applicable to offenses committed since July 1, 1910.
