“The total area of Indian timber lands is roughly estimated at 
6,500,000 acres, containing approximately 38,000,000,000 feet of 
timber, and valued at over $84,000,000. In order to protect and 
properly administer these resources a considerable force of men 
is employed, consisting of forest guards, rangers, scalers, lum- 
bermen and technically trained foresters. The work is in many 
respects similar to that of the Forest Service, except that no 
purely investigative work is carried on and that where it seems 
advisable timber is logged, handled and manufactured by the 
Service, the lumber being sold or disposed of for the benefit of 
the Indians. A considerable amount of permanent improvement 
work is being carried on, roads, trails, telephone lines, cabins, 
corrals and fences being constructed. The Indian timber lands, 
unlike the National Forests, were not set aside for protective 
purposes, but for the use and benefit of the Indians. Much of 
the timber is located on good agricultural soil, some of which 
is allotted. In such cases clear cutting is practised, all the timber 
being cut and removed, and the Indians encouraged to farm 
this land. On the really forest soil, however, forestry methods 
are followed in logging.”
