CHAPTER 5--PROTECTION OF INDIANS
Sec. 196. Sale or other disposition of dead timber
The President of the United States may from year to year in his
discretion under such regulations as he may prescribe authorize the
Indians residing on reservations or allotments, the fee to which remains
in the United States, to fell, cut, remove, sell or otherwise dispose of
the dead timber standing, or fallen, on such reservation or allotment
for the sole benefit of such Indian or Indians. But whenever there is
reasonable cause to believe that such timber has been killed, burned,
girdled, or otherwise injured for the purpose of securing its sale under
this section then in that case such authority shall not be granted.
