tion to transfer section 4, block 9 Motu S.D., from Buscko to Baird and Henson was granted. Messrs Green, lessees of section 5, block 6.

borne, forwarded a report, in whicl

ho states that although thoro was a quantity of good timber on the section it was of no more value or better than the timber standing on hundreds of acres in the same vicinity, and vl ieh had bceen destroyed because it was of no market value and probably would not have any for 20

iary stops themselves by clearing
