VICTORY FOR SHEEPMEN.
Federal Judge Denies Hitchcock's Power
to Make Rules.

to Make Rules.
Salt Lake City, Jan. 29.-Judge
Marshall, of the United States District
court, today sustained the demurrer of
the defendant in the case of the United
States against Frank Martinus, who
was charged with running a band of e.
600 sheep on the Fish Lake forest re-
serve, in violation of the rules formu-
lated for the protection of forest re-
serves by the secretary of the interior.
Judge Marshall states that congress has
exceeded it's legislative power in en-
powering the secretary of the interior
to make rules the violation OF which
would be criminal act, and held that
the law was unconstitutional. The de-
cision is regarded as one of the greatest
importance to Utah sheepmen. A
number of pending similar cases will be
thrown out of court.
The effect of Judge Marshall's de-
cision will be to throw open to sheep
and cattle interests more than 1,000,-
900 acres of the choicest grazing land
in the state, which for the past few
years has been carefully guarded by the
government. AS soon as the situation
becomes known, it is believed hundreds
of thousands of sheep will be brought
across the line from adjoining states,
and the forest reserves will be covered
with sheep.

COAL COMBINE ENJOINED.
Detroit Dealers Fry to Dodge Law by
Repeating Illegal Rule.

Repeanng lHegal kuie.
Detroit, Jan. 29.-The Wayne cir
cult court today issued the preliminary
injunction asked for by Prosecutor Hunt
against the Detriot coal exchange, an
organization of SO local coal dealers.
The injunction restrains the exchange
from acting as an organization to fix
the minimum price at which coal shall
be sold.
The fact was brought out today that
IA of the largest coal dealers of the city
have resigned from the exchange, leav-
ing the smaller dealers to settle with
the law. January 9, at a meeting of
the exchange, one of the larger dealers
offered resolution resembling the
clause in the bylaws providing for the
fixing of minimum price for coal. 1t
is on this ylaw that Prosecutor Hunts
case is principally based. There was
opposition to resembling the bylaw,
and when the resolution was voted
down the IA large dealers promptly re-
signed from the exchange.

RICH STRIKE IN MONTANA,
Free Gold Bearing Ledge 5000 Feet Long
Which Yields SIS Pan.

Butte, Mont, Jan. PA special to

ticles of gold. A ledge $50 feet in
width accompanies the porphyry dyke
and it is also highly auriferous. Rough
pan assays made of the ledge show the
poorest specimens to assay SIS in free
gold. Other specimens show yellow
metal to the naked eye. Old pros
pectors declare the discovery surpasses
anything within their knowledge and
that 81 ,0O0,000 worth of ore is in plain

Recent Decision i'm Nelson Case of Great
Importance to Homesteaders.
Washington, Jan. 2s.-The decision
of the supreme court today in the case
of Nelson against the Northern Pacific
railway company, to ahe-effeet that the
United States holds title to all lands
along proposed lines of land grant rail-
roads up to the time of the filing of the
map of definite location, and further
holding that no rights to any lands
within the limits of grant passed to
the road on the filing of the general
map, affects great number of home
steaders who had gone on land prior to
the filing of the map of definite loca
tion, and who later found. themselves
within the limits of the railroad grants.
These settlers will be allowed to retain
possession of such lands, and the COM
pany must look elsewhere for indem-
nifty. James Hamilton Lewis was at

FOR CENTRAL WASHINGTON.
Possibilities of Getting Larger Supply of
Water for Irrigation.

Washington, Jan. 28.-An examine
tion has recently been made by F. G.
Calkins, of the geological survey, of
the possibilities of increasing the
water supply of portions of Central
Washington. Kittitas valley is one of
the areas in which irrigation is already
extensively practiced, water being
drawn from the Yakima river and it's
tributaries. Plans have matured for
the construction of bitches from the
Upper Yakima, which will materially
extend the irrigated area to the east
and southeast in the near future.
Attention as also given to strip of
desert land Just east of the Columbia
river, now used as stock ranch, and
also to portion of the great wheat
growing region adjoining it on the
north and east, which extends north
ward into the Big Bend of the Colum-
bia and eastward beyond the Idaho
boundary. AS the district has an arid
climate, and its eastern portion is prac-
tically without surface streams, the OBJ
ject of the examination was to determ-
inc the practicability of sinking deep
wells as means of obtaining water,
and especially to determine whether
artesian flows could be found. Irriga-
tion from the Columbia, except to a
limited extent, on it's lowest terraces,
appears to be impracticable because of
the depth and steepness of the sides of
the canyon through which the river
flows.
;, East of the Columbia river the in.
vestigations include Crab creek, the
only perennial stream traversing the
region, but its waters we're found to
be no more than sufficient for the irri-
CATION of its own bottom.
In the wheat lands, where all crops
are raised by dry farming, and where
water for stock and domestic uses was
formerly brought from springs, some-
times at great distances, the possibility
of increasing the present number of
deep wells was carefully considered.
The information gathered indicates
that supply of water sufficient for
present needs can be obtained by deep
drilling throughout the region examined
at depths of from 400 to 675 feet.
While there are no flowing artesian
wells, the deep waters are found to be
under pressure, and it is believed that
in certain of the lower wells along the
Northern Pacific road an artesian flow
could be obtained by proper casing. It
does not seem that any considerable
portion of the wheat lands can be irri-
gated from deep wells, or that water
from this source for irrigation can be
found in sufficient quantities in the un-
cultivated land east of the Columbia,
though it is believed that in this Sec
tion deep wells for stock-watering pur-
poses may be proftablx sunk at some
points.

Not Confirmed by Bowen.

Washington, Jan. 28.-There lie no
information in Washington to justify
the positive statement contained in the
Caracas dispatch that the Venezuelan
blockade will be raised today. Min
lister Bowen continues hopeful that such
happy consummation will result from
the pending negotiations, as the latest
proposition to the allied governments is
regarded by him as an eminently favor
able one. He is still waiting formal
replies to that proposition from Great
Britain and Germany, and on these will
depend the question whether the block
ace is to be raised.
AS indicated in Rome dispatch re-
ceived last night, the question now to
be determined is the amount of Gus.
toms receipts which are to be given as
guarantee. Great Britain is believed
to be favorable to accepting the 80 per
cent offered by Mr.. Bowen, while Ger
many is supposed to be insisting on so
per cent.
Minister Bowen declines to discuss
the question in any of it's phasee, nor
will he disclose what is the actual
amount of guaranty he has been offered.
With the promptness which has
characterized all it's actions in the pres
ent emergency, the Italian government
has cabled to it's feet commander in
Venezuelan waters to withdraw from
the blockade as soon as the ships of the
powers do 20. Information to this
effect was received by the Italian am
bassador today.

precipitation there was came in the
form of snow. Streams Immediately
began to fall, and they have been grad
ually receding from their flood stage
during the day, SO that little further
damage is expected to result from high
water in this section. In this county
much damage has been suffered by

operators whose coal is carried by the
Lehigh Valley railroad, were selling
their coal at anything above 81 ton
at the collieries for delivery at points
between New York and the collieries.

Lava Dust Falls with Rain.

San Francisco, Jan. %. Small
patches of an extremely fine white sand
or dust were seen on many asphalt
paved streets today when the rain of
last night had dried. Scientists say
this dust must have fallen with the
rain, as anything like it was never seen
here before. It is believed to have
come from the volcano of Santa Maria,
in Guatemala, which broke out in vio-
lent eruption in October, and caused
the ruin of a great area of cultivated
territory. The theory is that the dust,
being lighter than air, was carried
1000 miles from the point of its ascen-
sion
