                    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.

(Feb. 16, 1889, ch. 172, 25 Stat. 673.)
