the Pacific National Forest adjoining said park rights-of-way are hereby
granted, under such restrictions and regulations as the Secretary of the
Interior may establish, to any railway or tramway company or companies,

constructing, and operating a railway, constructing and operating a

Codification
The words ``In addition to the powers and duties enumerated in
section 3 of this title, not inconsistent with this section'' were added
to relate this section to later law, defining the duties of the
Secretary of the Interior as to national parks.
An additional provision in the first sentence making it the duty of
the Secretary of the Interior as soon as practicable to make such rules
and regulations as he might deem necessary or proper for the care and
management of the park has been omitted as executed.
A provision of the original section for the disposition of the
proceeds of leases for buildings for accommodation of visitors and other
revenues from the park has been omitted as superseded by section 452 of
this title.
``Pacific National Forest'' was substituted for ``Pacific Forest
Reserve'' on authority of act Mar. 4, 1907, ch. 2907, 34 Stat. 1269,
which provided that forest reserves shall hereafter be known as national
forests.
