EDITORIAL-DEPARTNENT THE CENTURY-MAGAZINE UNION SQUARE NEW YORK September 30th, 1890 R. W. GILDER. EDITOR. R. U. JOHNSON,
ASSOCIATE EDITOR. C. C. BUEL, ASSISTANT EDITOR. Prof. Charles S. Sargent, Chairman of the Forest Commission, Flagstaff,
Arizona. Dear Prof. Sargent:- I am very glad indeed to have your note of the18th of September; and I am communicating
at once with the Bacheller Syndicate, and shall write you their attitude as soon as I learn it. I am still trying to get
an interview with the new Secretary of the Interior with a view of pushing along the Montana reservation. I am asking him
when he will next come to New York City, so I may see him personally. If he says he is not coming I shall write him fully.
I presume the President will take the matteriup as soon as he gets back to work. I wrote him very urgently about it just as
Hoke Smith was going out. illegible
