was established by proclamation dated September twenty-eighth,
eighteen hundred and ninety-three, and was subsequently enlarged by

States of America, by virtue of the power in me vested by the Act

Government for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, eighteen hundred
and ninety-eight, and for other purposes," do proclaim that the aforesaid
Ashland Forest Reserve is hereby enlarged to include the said additional
lands, and that the boundaries of the reserve are now as shown on the dia-
gram forming a part hereof;

statutory period within which to make entry or filing of record has not
expired ; and also excepting all lands which at this date are embraced within
any withdrawal or reservation for any use or purpose to which this reserva-
tion for forest uses is inconsistent : Provided, that these exceptions shall
not continue to apply to any particular tract of land unless the entryman,
settler, or claimant continues to comply with the law under which the entry,
filing, or settlement was made, or unless the reservation or withdrawal to

from the force and effect of this proclamation, however, any land within
the boundary herein described, which has been withdrawn to protect the

embraced in any selection, entry or filing, which has been allowed or per-
mitted to remain of record subject to the creation of a permanent reservation.
Warning is hereby given to all persons not to make settlement upon
the lands reserved by this proclamation.
