All of the forests in Montana, seven forests in northern Idaho and one 

 in North Dakota, are organized into an administrative division known as 

 District One of the forest service. The headquarters are at Missoula. ]\Ton- 



tAreas from table on page 189, Report of Montana State Bureau of Agriculture and 

 Labor for 1911-12. Adjustments of County Boundaries made by Legislature, 1913, computed 

 by Office of Geography, District 1, and necessary corrections applied. 



"*That hereafter twenty-five per centum of all money received from each forest reserve 

 during any fiscal year, including the year ending June thirtieth, nineteen hundred and eight, 

 shall be paid at the end thereof by the Secretary of the Treasury to the state or territory 

 In which said reserve is situated, to be expended as the state or territorial legislature may 

 prescribe for the benefit of the public school and public roads of the county or counties 

 in which the forest reserve is situated: Provided. That when any forest reserve is in more 

 than one state or territory or county the distributive share to each from the proceeds of 

 said reserve shall be proportional of its area therein." 



By a recent decision of the state attorney general the act passed by the state legisla- 

 ture providing for the distribution of this fund for Montana does not carry out the inten- 

 tion of the act of congress in that dist'ibution of the fund was made to each county by 

 proportion of national forest area it possessed in relation to total area of national forest 

 land in the State; where as the receipts from each forest should be divided among the 

 counties within whose boundaries it lies, thus the i-^venues should revert to the counties 

 from which they were derived. The fund.s for year ending June 30, 1913, and also those 

 for the year ending June 30, 1914, will probably be held in the state treasury, and not dis- 

 tributed to counties until the spring of 1915, after the legislature passes a new act con- 

 formable with the act of congress. 



**"That an additional ten per centum of all moneys received from the national forests 

 during the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, nineteen hundred and twelve, shall be avail- 

 able at the end thereof to be expended by the Secretary of Agriculture for the construc- 

 tion and maintenance of roads and trails within the national forests In the states from 



— There are about as many banks as paupers in Montana.
