which in former years got the greater part
of our products, has been lost; the AuStriai

communication from the governor of Okla
hcma territory relative to the passage over
his veto of an act by the territorial legfsia-

was whether the territory of Oklahoma has
power to regulate by quarantine legislation

Indian reservation for grazing purposes. IT
was held by Mr.. Campbell that the act IF
the Oklahoma legislature was in excess of
the powers conferred by Congress and was
imperative within the Usage reservation.
The opinion OF Attorney General Camp
bell comes in opportunity. because bids
will be opened Thursday for the leasing
of the Usage grazing lands. and the action
of the legislature would mean the loss of
