Admitting, for the sake of argu ment only. that the legal title to the said sections 16 and 36 may not have passed 10 Arizona by the use of the words shall be reserved" candor compels the acknowledge ment that congress by the use of the words shall be reserved" absolutely and unequivocally pledged the territory of Arizona that Arizona should have reserved to it the said sections Is and 36, and after such pledge and reserva- tion by congress. the president could not appropriate sections Is and 36 to any other purpose with out violating the pledge and reser vation made to the territory under paragraph 1946 R. s. of U. S. and when the pledge and reservation were made, congress passed the equitable title to the sections 16 and 36 and holds the legal title ;.n trust for the territory and cong, ess by the use of the words "sha,.l be reserved" (words which are the equivalent of fare hereby reserved'') instant passed the Kequita ble title to the said lands from the government of the United States to Arizona.
 It was held by the honorable secretary of the interior, that in relating to the disposition of the public lands: ''It is the settled law, first, that when a party has complied with all the terms and conditions necessary to the securing of title to a particular tract of land he acquires vested interest there in, is regarded as equitable owner thereof and thereafter the govern ment holds the legal title in trust for him. Second: That the right to patent once vested is. equiva- lent to a patent issued, and when. in fact, issued, patent relates back to the. time when the right to it became fixed" (Kern River Oil i Co. vs- Clark 30 L.

OPINION RENDERED BY
 HON. H. F. ASHURST
On Powers and Authority oI Board of Supervisors of
 This County

Flagstaff, Ariz.. Feb. 21, '07. To the Honorable the Board of
 Supervisors of Coconino county,
 Arizona.
 Gentlemen:
 Referring to yours of recent date, in which you request from me written opinion as to whether your body has the power and authority to lease sections num- bered sixteen and thirtv-six, within Coconino county, where such sec tions 16 and 36 lie within the exterior boundaries of a forest reserve and were unsurveyed at the time of the establishment of such forest reserve, you are advised that your body has the power and authority, under Title 65 of the R. s. of Arizona, 1901, to lease sections 16 and 36, notwithstanding they were unsurveyed at the time such sections were included within the exterior limits of forest reserve. For the purposes of this opinion, all references to "lands embraced within the exterior limits of a forest reserve" shall be construed to refer to lands that lie within the exterior boundaries or outside limits of a forest reserve, but which are not an integral part of the forest reserve.
 &You are further advised that any attempt. on the part of the presi- dent of the United States or on the part of the forest reserve officials, to include sections sixteen and thirty-six (whether surveyed or unsurveyed) within forest reserve and thus make such sections Is and 36 or any of them, an in tegral part of any forest reserve, is an act which is ultra wires and void |; and any strained construction placed upon section A of the act of congress, approved March Sd, 1891, entitled "an act to repeal timber culture laws, and for other purposes" (the same being the act Of congress which gives the presi- dent the power to establish forest reserves) by the president of the United States or the interior de- partment of the United States, or the forestry department. which attempts to treat sections 16 and 36 (whether surveyed or unsur- yeyed at the time of the creation of the forest reserve) as an integral part of any forest reserve, is an assumption of power by the ex- ecutive branch of the government that has never been delegated to it either expressly or by implication.
 The executive branch of the government derives it's power and authority to create forest reserves under and by virtue of section 24 of the act of congress. approved March 3, 1891, entitled "an act to repeal timber culture laws, and for other purposes" which section reads as follows:

Members of Fire Department
Not Discouraged Over RuI-
ing by Board of Works.
THINK OUTLOOK is GOOD.
INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE
COUNCIL WILL FAVOR AN IN
CREASE EQUAL TO THAT
GRANTED THE POLICE,

Despite the fact that the board OF
public works has turned down the pc.
| tition of the members of the fire de-
partment to have their salaries in
creased from $50 to $40 per month be-
tcause of the present financial condi-
Iion of the city, the firemen are not
discouraged because it is not improb-
able that at the next meeting of the
city council an ordinance increasing
fire department will be introduced II
such action is taken it is regarded as
almost certainty that the ordinance
will be passed when brought up for
final action. Councilmen who have
been approached by the firemen have
stated that in their opinion the fire
fighters deserve larger salaries than
they are now receiving
Under the present scale of wages it
is extremely hard to secure suitable
men for the fire department and it is
realized that to attact such men to
the service it will be necessary to adj
vance the salaries. Council objected
to the advancement of the salaries of
the members of the police department
but it had no authority to interfere
with the action of the police commits
sioners. Councilmen are of the opin-
ion that the fire laddies are as deserv-
ing of increased salaries as the po-
licemen and for this reason it is re
garded as probable that council viii
order the firemen's salaries boosted.

If there had been million criekets

made by crickets. II the experience of
Terre Haute is repeated in Richmond,

than one teacher will be forced TO col
lect them.
Hundreds of people went TO the of

no joke, for the ice cream was placed
In the red hot ovens, and when it
emerged was covered with a beautif,

the easy manner in which several de-
voured many dishes.

Homer BroyIes of Delaware
County, Placed in East
haven for Treatment.
STUDENT IN HIGH SCHOOL.
JURY IN A FOOTBALL GAME OR
FAILURE TO PASS ExAMINA-
TIONS IN SCHOOL WORK.

Homer Broyles of Delaware county,
whom an insanity commission but re-
Gently declared demented, was
brought to this city Saturday by Sher-
if Perdiue of Muncie, and was taken
to Easthaven. According to the state
ment of Sheriff Perdiue, the condition
of young Broyles has been of a most
violent nature, and it has been neces-
sary to keep him under guard as a
precaution against his killing or MAIN
ing persons surrounding him. 1t is
understood that the physicians who
pronounced the young man insane,
have been unable to determine the
cause of his mental arrangement.
Having found two things which might
have produced it, in going into the his
tory of Broyle's case the doctors are
undetermined which was the direct
cause of his arrangement.
Injured at Football.
Two years ago, while the star Of the
champion Alexandria high school foot
ball team, and in one of the big games
of the season, he received an injury
that might have led to his insanity
The more pronounced cause however,
was discovered when the doctors after
an investigation, found that Broyles
lost his mind after he had failed to
pass the examinations which would
have gaduated him from the Alexan-
dria school with his class.
The young man is said to have wor-
ried continually over his failure to
pass, which eventually led to his be-
coming, mentally unbalanced.
The case is one of the most pitifui
the Easthaven authorities have had to
deal with recently, as Broyles is both
handsome and of good physique. He
at times appreciates his condition and
is peaceable but is more often vio-
lent. Hopes for his ultimate recovery
are few.
1t is reported that Broyles was in
jured by Richmond man, in the game
between the high school of this city
and Alexandria, but the report cannot
be verified

IS ANXIOUS To GET
THORMAN OFF HANDS
Sheriff Meredith Has UnpIeas-
ant Job in Caring for
This Insane Man.
VERY NOISY AND VICIOUS.
CONDITION IN INDIANA MAY BE
SOMEWHAT RELIEVED BY THE
COMPLETION OF TWO NEW IN.
SITUATIONS.

Sheriff Meredith is making every eff
fort to place John Thorman in the
Easthaven insane hospital. The unfor-
tunate man has been confined at the
county Jail for some time and it is
stated, his mind is total blank. For
days Thorman made night hideous at
the jail by yelling at the top of his
voice. His vocal organs have now al
most given out by this strain but he
still continues to keep the inmates of
the Jail awake of nights by clapping
his hands. Special mittens viii prob
ably be made to prevent the man from
creating this racket.
OF late Thorman has shown vicious
ness and causes his keepers conSidera-
BILE trouble whenever they enter the
cell in which he is kept in close con-
finement. A few days ago one of the
prisoners was reading a story in a
magazine while seated in front Of the
cell occupied by Thorman. After
awhile the prisoner plac-u the maya
zine on a chair and vent elsewhere.
During his absence Thorman secured
the magazine by stretching his arm
through the bars. After securing the
magazine his first act was to eat the
pages on which the story that was be-
ing read by the prisoner was printed.
AS soon as the new southeastern in
sane hospital and the epileptic village
at New Castle are completed it is
thought the Easthaven insane hospital
will not be as crowded as il now is
and that there will not be as much
trouble in securing the admittance of
the Wayne county insane 10 Eastha-
ven.

Proposed That a Public Sub
scription Be Taken To
Make Them Possible.
SENTIMENT is FAVORABLE.
BUT THERE is NO LAW THAT
WILL PERMIT THE CITY COUN-
GIL TO VOTE MONEY FOR THIS
PURPOSE.

Members of the board of public
works want a public subscription TAX,
en- up to meet part of the expense OF
giving band concerts the coming sum
mer at Glen Miller park on Sundays
and one other day each week. About
$500 would be required to secure these
band concerts and members of the
board are of the opinion that half this
expense would be met by the street
car company. as it would be directly
benefited. 1t was thought for a
time that the city would appropriate
its share of the expense in giving
these band concerts, but Pre- sident
Merrill now states that the city has
no authority to appropriate money for
such purposes.
Sentiment Big Factor.
1t is a sentiment among large
number of local people that the city
could help maintain a band, notwith-
standing the fact that there is no
law on the state statute books legal
izing the appropriation of money for
such a purpose. 1t is pointed out that
last year an effort was made to block
the appropriation of 500 for the bene-
fit of the Richmond Art Association S
exhibit because there was no law le-
CALLING such an act on the part of
council, but that at this juncture City
Attorney A. NJ Gardner stated to
council that the will of the people was
mightier than any law. After this
speech the money for the art exhibit
was appropriated.
Majority Are Favorable.
There is no doubt that a majority
of the people are in favor of public
band concerts, Richmond being known
all over this part of the country as
musical center. 1t is the opinion Of
many that if council would take the
same action in appropriating money
for band concerts as it did in appro-
priating money for the art exhibit, the
city fathers would find that they had
made very popular move.
