have no shortage Of cars. as we will
borrow from other lines if neces-
sary. There is not the slightest
doubt but that we will be able to
handle all the cattle offered from
Frazier, at the latest by the middle
of October. and hope by the end
of September. We shall continue
construction work down through
the park during the winter and
should reach Kremmline next
summer early.
Heretofore the bulk of these cat
tie have gone out north to the
Union Pacific and then east to the
river to market. Hereafter they
will all come to Denver for market
and be a big addition to the offer
ings here, as they are the best class
of cattle grown in Colorado, and
are. always in condition for beef
when they come out. While the
freight rate to be charged has not
yet been determined upon. it will
be reasonable and the new line will
be made as popular as possible
with the stock shippers.

Special to the Rocky Aoa..aIa E-ws:
GuNnisoH. Col. July 16.-ln Gun
nison today Judge Theron Stevens
Of the Seventh judicial district. rem
.dsred an important decision con-
corning the rights Of fishermen.
Alonzo Hartman. a wealthy
ranchman. who controls several
miles of creek and riverbed. made
application for an injunction to re-
strain George Trezize from enter
ing his fields to fish.
The court found that the beds OF
the streams in Colorado are public
highways for the purpose Of carry
ing water belonging to the people
of the state and that any citizen
has the right to enter them for any
lawful purpose. including that Of
fishing, but that II in 50 doing the
fisherman should got upon the bank
in an enclosure he does so at his
own peril and lays himself liable to
punishment for trespass. The de-
cision was based upon Section s.
Article l6 of the constitution, which
reads as follows:
The water of every natural
stream not heretofore appropriated
within the state is hereby declared
to be the property Of the public and
the same is dedicated to the use Of
the people Of the state. subject to
appropriation as hereinafter pro-
vided."
Judge Stevens did not take into
consideration. tho game ana tIsn law
of 1908. which reads as follows:
Provided. that the public shall
have the right to fish in any stream
in this state stocked at public ex-
pense, subject to actions for tres
pass for any damage done to any
property along banks of any such
stream"
This subject has been much dis
cussed the last few years in this
section of the state. and because
they have suffered so many i'm
positions and damages at the hands
of fishermen. the ranchmen have
sought to exclude them from their
property. Some ranchmen like Mr..
Hartman pay heavy taxes on the
river beds, which were surveyed in
their ranches.
Streams are stocked by the
state, which would entitle citizens
to fish in them. More people are
rejoicing over the decision than are
lamentinp il.

Cattlemen in the North and Mid
die Parks will be glad to learn that
the Moffatt road will be ready to
haul their cattle out of Middle Park
about the first of October. says the
Denver Stockman. BY that time
the line will be down to a point near
Frazier, about twenty-three miles
east of Hot Sulphur Springs, a point
which can easily be reached by the
cattlsmen. Inquiry at headquarters
develops the fact that the line over
the range will be completed by that
time; in fact. Chief Engineer Sum-
mer hopes to have the trains run
ming to that point by the last Of
September. and there the end of
the track will remain until next
spring. when it will be pushed on to
Hot Sulphur Springs and kremm-
ling. The grading is already prac-
tically done and it only remains to
complete the bridges and lay the
rails. The rails are now being
rolled and delivery will commence
next week. Track laying should
commence shortly thereafter.
There will be at least 10000
cattle. which will mean about five
hundred carloads, to be moved from
that section next fall. Heretofore
the cattlemen in that section have
been compelled to ship out early
whether the cattle we're ready or
not and no matter what the condi-
ton of the market. This year they
ca2hyd .heir cattle into Eovem-
bsr if they desire, as they will have
but q short drive.
Tho North Park cattlemen will
gradually drift their cattle to the
south end of the park, and some
will 60 over into Middle Park about
the end CT the summer. When
shipping time comes the cattle will
all be in reaching distance of the
track. The cattlemen of North
Park have petitioned the county
commissioners for a new road over
the range between Middle and
North Parks. which has been prom
ised and will probably be completed
early in the fall. This will give the
North Park stockmen an easy out
let for their cattle. though after
this year the loading point will
probably be at kremmling.
We have made plans for yards
and loading chutes at the point
where the road will end for the
winter" said Chief Engineer Sum-
ner. We have our stock cars or
dered and they should be here in
time for the fall run. but we will
