Homesteads。　It　is　interesting　to　note　that；　up　to　the　time　of　the　issuance　of　this　proclamation；　any　citizen　of　the　United　States　might　have　located　a　homestead　on　one　hundred　and　sixty　acres　of　land　in　the　Grand　Canyon　region。　The　only　two　old…timers　who　had　taken　advantage　of　this　provision　of　the　law　were　John　Hance　and　P。　D。　Berry。　The　former　located　at　or　near　the　head　of　the　trail　that　bears　his　name；　and　Berry　at　the　head　of　the　Grand　View　Trail。　Both　men　built　log　houses；　Hance's　being　a　somewhat　rude　structure；　while　Berry's　was　a　substantial　building。　The　Hance　cabin　was　already　built　when　I　first　visited　him　in　1889；　and　Berry　built　his　in　the　years　1896…1898。

Game　Preserve　in　1906。　On　November　28；　1906；　President　Roosevelt　issued　a　proclamation　setting　aside　that　part　of　the　reserve　north　and　west　of　the　Colorado　River　as　a　Game　Preserve。　To　further　safeguard　it　and　protect　the　cliff　dwellings　of　the　ancient　inhabitants　from　the　vandalism　of　irresponsible　excavators；　who　ruthlessly　knocked　down　the　walls　of　buildings　of　permanent　interest；　President　Roosevelt；　on　January　11；　1908；　declared　it　a　National　Monument；　and　on　June　23　of　the　same　year；　the　Game　Preserve　was　enlarged　to　include　the　whole　of　the　Forest　Reserve。

Forest　Reserve　Divided　in　1908。　Still　another　proclamation　was　issued　by　President　Roosevelt　on　July　2；1908；　which　divided　the　Grand　Canyon　Forest　Reserve　into　two　parts；　the　section　north　of　the　Grand　Canyon　to　be　known　as　the　Kaibab　National　Forest；　and　that　on　the　south　as　the　Coconino　National　Forest。

All　these　proclamations　may　be　had　by　addressing　the　Chief　Forester；　Department　of　the　Interior；　Washington；　D。　C。
