LEGAL CONTEST
FOR YOSEM|T TE

There IS going 70 be a legal test OF the
validity Of the recession of the Yosemite Vail
ley 70 The Federal Government. This has been
definitely decided upon by State Senator J. 3.
Curtin Of Sonora. who is the leader OF the
opposition 10 this move. There have been
threats 10 this effect, but they have always
been regarded as q little misty and uncer-
tain. II can now be asserted positively that
there VIII De a legal contest over this act.
that this contest Will be carried to the Su-
preme Court OF the United States ana that
Senator Curtin has a definite plan already
Senator Curtin is going TO let the Federal
Government take the first steps toward taking
possession Of the valley and he will then
night 70 regain possession through injunction
proceedings. Il is fully expected that Con-
gress will pass bill accepting the valley from
The State OF California. in accordance with
the act OF the last Legislature, which was
given the sanction of Governor Pardee The
the national parks. viii then take possession.
Senator Curtin will file injunction proceedings
aga inst the Interior Department, Congress and
al Federal cfncIals who are interested IN the
move to prevent them taking control OF the
valley. The ground OF his proceeding will be
that the State Legislature had no right 10
turn over 10 the Federal Government build
.ngs and land that the State had paid FOR.
When the Yosemite Valley was given 10 the
State Of California there were several pre-
emptioE titles In the valley Enterprising
pioneers had located as Government isno some
o: the wonders Of that section. The late J..
n Hutchines had the Yosemite Raiis IN his
back yard and his title that had 70 be
bought by the State. while another pioneer by
The name OF Lemon owned the Half Dome
and his title TO that had TO be purchased.
Senator Curtin now holds that this property
belongs 70 the State BY purchase from the
owners and that these portions. at least. CT
the valley cannot be turned back 10 the ma
tional Government without some return being
made 10 the state.
