Sec. 866. Exchange of cut over land in Montana

    Tracts of timbered lands prior to February 14, 1923, granted to the

been cut or removed pursuant to State laws, may, under such rules and 
regulations as the legislature of said State shall prescribe, be 
exchanged for other lands of like character and approximately of equal 
value, in private ownership, which exchanged land shall be subject to 
the same requirements and limitations to the end that the State may 
acquire holdings in reasonably compact form and reforesting be 
undertaken in an economic manner, anything in the enabling act of said 
State to the contrary notwithstanding.
