26 FOREST KESEEVE MANUAL. 



Forest officers report a trespass according to the blank pro- 

 vided for this purpose, taking care to have dates, names, 

 amounts, and places determined with care. 



TRESPASS BY GRAZING. 



Any person grazing stock, cattle, horses, sheep, and goats 

 in forest reserves without permit; and any person driving 

 herds of stock across such reserves, without permit, commits 

 trespass. A person committing this kind of trespass is guilty 

 of violating the rules of forest reserves and of destroying 

 timber, by damaging and destroying the seedlings and young 

 growth of forest trees. 



UNLAWFUL INCLOSUEE. 



This form of trespass is forbidden by special law (act of 

 1885), which should be enforced in every case. 



The manner of reporting on this subject is prescribed by 

 the form on p. 73. 



SETTLEMENT IN FOREST RESERVES. 



Trespass of this kind almost invariably involves trespass in 

 timber, which in this case must be regarded as willful. 



MISCELLANEOUS TRESPASS. 



Trespass is committed in forest reserves by doing any of 

 the following acts without permit: 



{a) Building of roads, trails, and railways. 



(5) Construction of ditches, canals, and reservoirs. 



(c) Erecting telephone and telegraph lines. 



{d) Erecting, occupying, and conducting hotels, stores, saw- 

 mills, power plants, and other manufacturing enterprises, and 

 carrying on 'dxij kind of work except as permitted by law and 

 regulations, unless performed on patented land or land held 

 under some form of valid title. Any kind of trespass should 

 be stopped and reported, and the failure to discover, stop, and 

 report trespass will be considered one of the most serious de- 

 ficiencies in a forest officer.
