SETTLING VOU OCONEK LANDS.

Oconee Tracta io Nutlonal ReserveCover Wido Art*«.

(Greenville News, 15th.)Approximately $12,000 was paid

out to the landowners of Oconeecounty this week by the FederalCourt for proporty condemned inconnection with the establishment oftl national reserve in that section.These settlements were consummat-ed during the terni of court justcompleted al Greenwood.

The settlement for all property af-fected in the new reserve of Oconeecounty is about completed, with onlya lew minor contests awaiting judg-ment. The settlements have been inprocess of transaction for two orthree years, and the fact that thework is nearing completion is asource of much satisfaction to theolllcials.

Tho largest amount paid out in tjiesums expended this week was forsomething over $27,000, and is oneof the largest single purchases madein tho whole reserve. The price paidfor tho land has ranged between $3and $7 per acre, with very little pro-perty going to the maximum.Tho Oconee National Reserve is

probably the largest lu the wholeAppalachian Range, and is rich intimber and natural mountain rug-gedness. There ls much of the landwhich has probably never beentouched by man and may be spokenof in thc quotation of a poet, "Thisis the forest primeval."
