The Oregonian states that Theodore Roosevelt is in favor of Representative John F. Lacey’s bill to transfer “the management and control of forest reserves from the Interior to the Agricultural Department, and to create and maintain game preserves in the public land states.” The article concludes that Roosevelt will soon announce the addition of land that will double the area of Yellowstone Park and extend the Teton forest reserves in Wyoming in order to protect big game animals that live there.
