A PROCLAMATION

Whereas, in Maricopa County, Arizona, splendid examples of the giant and many other species of cacti and the yucca palm, with many additional forms of characteristic desert flora, grow to great size and perfection and are of great scientific interest, and should, therefore, be preserved, and that on the walls of the rocks among which these forms thrive best, there are numerous prehistoric pictographs of archaeological and ethnological value, and it appears that the public interest would be promoted by reserving these natural objects and prehistoric inscriptions as a National Monument, together with as much public land as may be necessary for the proper protection thereof,

Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the power in me vested by the Act of Congress approved March third, eighteen hundred and ninety-one (26 Stat., 1095), entitled "An Act To repeal timber-culture laws, and for other purposes," and also by the Act of Congress approved June fourth, eighteen hundred and ninety-seven (30 Stat., 11 at 34 and 36), entitled "An Act Making appropriations for sundry civil expenses of the Government for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, and for other purposes," do proclaim that the boundaries of the La Sal National Forest are hereby changed to include the areas indicated as additions on the diagram hereto annexed
