THE WHITE HOUSE, November 26, 1902.
Under authority of the act of Congress of June 4, 1897 (30 Stat., 11 at 34 and 36), and upon recommendation of the Secretary of Agriculture, it is hereby ordered that on and after March 1, 1912, the boundaries of the Trinity National Forest, Cal., as proclaimed March 2, 1909, and modified by subsequent proclamation of December 16, 1910, be further modified by excluding therefrom all that part of the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation included in the said Trinity National Forest by said proclamation of March 2, 1909.
The purpose of this exclusion is to restore the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation in all respects to the status existing prior to the said proclamation of March 2, 1909, as though the inclusion of the lands within the Trinity National Forest had not been ordered, and said Indian reservation is hereby fully recreated and restored to that status.

Whereas by Executive order dated December 27, 1875, sections 5 and 6, township 15 south, range 2 east, San Bernardino meridian, California, were with certain other tracts of land withdrawn from the public domain and reserved for the use of the Capitan Grande Band or Village of Mission Indians; and
Whereas the commission appointed under the provisions of the act of Congress approved January 12, 1891, entitled “An act for the relief of the Mission Indians in the State of California” (U. S. Stat. L., vol. 26, p. 712), selected for the said Capitan Grande Band or Village of Indians certain tracts of land and intentionally omitted and excluded from such selection the said sections 5 and 6, township 15 south, range 2 east; and
Whereas the report and recommendations of the said commission were approved by Executive order dated December 29, 1891, which order also directed that “All of the lands mentioned in said report are hereby withdrawn from settlement and entry until patents shall have issued for said selected reservations, and until the recommendations of said commission shall be fully executed, and, by the proclamation of the President of the United States, the lands or any part thereof shall be restored to the public domain;” and
Whereas a patent was issued March 10, 1894, to the said Indians for the lands selected by the commission as aforesaid and which patent also excluded the said sections 5 and 6, township 15 south, range 2 east; and
Whereas it appears that on the 10th day of March, 1895, Joseph J. Henderson entered upon the southeast quarter of the southeast quarter, section 5, township 15 south, range 2 east, San Bernardino meridian, for the purpose of taking the land under the homestead law, and can not make the requisite filings on the land occupied by him until it shall have been formally restored to the public domain, and that no good reason appears to exist for the further reservation of said sections 5 and 6 for the said band of Indians:
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested, do hereby declare and make known that Executive orders dated December 27, 1875, and December 29, 1891, are so far modified as to except from their provision sections 5 and 6, township 15 south, range 2 east, San Bernardino meridian, and the said sections are hereby restored to the public domain.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this 15th day of May in the year of our Lord, 1905, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and twenty-ninth.
