Washington, June 2S.-Attorney Cen
eral Olney has rendered an opinion bear
ing on the validity of the permit granted
some time ago to the Altamonte Water
company to construct dams across the
st. Louis and Cloquet rivers. In a letter
to the secretary of war in regard to re-

SEEN to be open to reasonable doubt that
upon the evidence disclosed Nv st. Louis
and Cloquet rivers are navigSAe waters
of the United States, subject to the com
plete and exclusive authority of the Sec
rotary of war to permit obstruction by
dams. but since on the faith Of the per-
nit granted to it, the company has gone

revoke the permit. "
