The House has passed the Tulare Big Grove Bill and I am urging it before the Senate Public Lands Committee. I hope the Yosemite
Bill will go through soon. The Land Office recommended these limits in margin: Sierra ridge Nevada line But I got them

get some strong letters written soon in favor of the bill addressed to Senator P.B. Plumb or Sen. Wm. Vandever M.C. it would
go through. More anon R.U.J. 01454
