SUBCHAPTER XX--GLACIER NATIONAL PARK
Sec. 166. Exchange of timber for private holdings; valuations
For purposes of subdivision (1) of section 164 of this title the
value of all patented lands within said park, including the timber
thereon, offered for exchange, and the value of the timber on park
lands, or on Government lands within the metes and bounds of the
national forests within the State of Montana, proposed to be given in
exchange for such patented lands, shall be ascertained in such manner as
the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture may
jointly in their discretion direct, and all expenses incident to
ascertaining such values shall be paid by the owners of said patented
lands. Such owners shall, before any exchange is effective, furnish the
Secretary of the Interior evidence satisfactory to him of title to the
patented lands offered in exchange; and if the value of timber on park
lands or on the Government lands in the national forests within the
State of Montana exceeds the value of the patented lands deeded to the
Government in exchange, such excess shall be paid to the Secretary of
the Interior by the owners of the patented lands before any timber is
removed, and shall be deposited and covered into the Treasury as
miscellaneous receipts. The lands conveyed to the Government under this
section and subdivision (1) of section 164 of this title shall become a
part of the Glacier National Park.
