Will Continue
 To Bar Sheep.

A dispatch from Washington says:
 The interior department will continue to enforce its regulation prescribing penalties for trespass of sheep on forest reserves not withstanding the decision of Jud- ge Hanbury of Seattle that such regulation was unconstitutional.
 The department takes the po- sition that nulli6cation of its regulation regarding sheep tres passing would defeat the real water storage object of the for est reserves.
 The Seattle decision is in line with the decision of several years ago by the California court, but the attorney general had advised the secretary of the interior ac- cording to the department that the right to make the regulations which the Seattle court declared to be unconstitutional was con- ferred by an act of congress June 4, 1897, authorizing the depart mcnt to regulate the occupancy and care of forest reserves.

Passing of the Cowboy.

Frederic Remington, an artist, sculptor and illustrator of inter- national reputation, was in Fl Paso the other day en route to New York. In talking about the west and western conditions, MT. Remington said:
 "Things have changed materi- ally since l was in this section. l visited southern Arizona and northern New Mexico along in the early eighties, and we had lively times then. Now the typi- cal westerner is the exception rather than the rule. There is in reality no west as it was in those days. The old-time cowboy and daredevil desperado are things of the past. The cowboy is

practically extinct. 1 should say that he is as extinct as the Dodo and the old west is practically the same way. l have been all over it and am well qualified as to my statements. The cowboys who go around roping make a business of it and the old styles of life. As a matter of fact the old life is almost done away with. ."-Citizen.

The Government will
 Dam the Colorado.

At a point called Bulls Head Canyon, about two miles below the New Comstock mines, on the Colorado river, is where the United States Government will construct a dam. The diamond drill which is now at work there has just finished the first of the nine holes to be drilled into the river bed. The first forty feet was through sand and gravel and the next fifteen feet was in granite of quality that will make a secure found tion for the dam.
 There are, approximately, 5O,- 900 acres of land that will be brought under cultivation below the dam and above the Needles. The dam will be 100 feet high and electric power will be gener- ated and sold to the mining companies operating in the vicinity, at the actual cost of generating it. All the land to be benefited has been withdrawn from entry and will not be open for entry until the work has been completed, which will be about two years. Its construction will entail an expenditure of over $1,- 900, O,OO0.-Yuma Sun
