Ly Shore to Senator Elmer Thomas expressing concern over the sale of Indian lands, specifically valuable timbered lands in the Eastern part of the state. Shore believes that the government has neglected the timber on the land and allowed people to remove it for commercial purposes. He requests that the sale be postponed indefinitely until an investigation is conducted and a fair adjustment is made. Shore also urges the reservation of mineral rights on the land.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
