and authoritative decision of the vex-
ed question, for up to this time the
government has had no right of appeal
in criminal cases.
I am not aware OF any decision in
the district of Oregon against the con-
stitutionality of the statute. and am
therefore in duty bound to bring to
the attention of the department of
justice grazing trespasses committed
in that state. This is a sufficient an
swer to the statement that there is no
law making 1t crime for cattle to be
driven upon a national forest.
BY an act approved March 2, 1907,
the government is now authorized to
carry directly to the supreme court
any criminal case decided against II
under certani circumstances, when the
ground of the decision is the invalidity
or construction of the statute upon
which the indictment is founded. This,
for the first time, puts 1t in the power
of the government to secure from the
supreme court a decision of this ques-
ton! and under the advice of the at
torney general above noted forest Of
ficers will be instructed to begin to
make such arrests for grazing trespass
on the national forests as may be
necessary to secure a final adjudics-
ton upon the validity of the criminal
provisions of the act of June 4. 1897
I have no desire to do anything in
this matter other than the duty inn
posed upon me by congress and my
official oath. I have acted throughout
in accordance with the advice of the
attorney general as I was bound to
do, and will continue to so act. am
sensible of the wisdom and modera-
ton of your editorial comment upon
this matter, and I thank you for the
public service you have rendered In
making 1t.
Very truly yours.

Secretary.

DAKOTA TOTAL LOSS.
Simeon Completes Destruction of the
Hill Liner.

The Seattle News says of the final
total destruction of the Hill steamer
Dakota, on the reef on the coast of
Japan:
During a terrible simeon yesterday
morning the stranded Hill liner Da-
kota, which drove ashore on Osano
reef on the night of Sunday, March 8.
was completely broken up and will
prove a total loss, according to cable
advices received by c. c. Lacey, su-
pervising engineer of the Great North
ern Steamship company.
Early yesterday morning the Dako-
ia commenced to yield under the tre-
mendous lashing of the breakers, and
the salvage steamers lowering in the
vicinity became aware that the strick-
en- liner was doomed. With her bow
200 feet above water, the giant ship
lifted and pounded as each mountain
Gus sea struck her broadside. With
a last lurch the Dakota listed sharply
to the starboard, her funnel and cabins
disappeared and as she settled the
main mast and mizzen mast were swal-
lowed in the great storm. Great guam
titles of wreckage were washed ashore
which fishermen imme diately seized.
Less than per cent of the cargo
was salved. The amount Of freight
taken from the vessel before the broke
up included 1928 sacks of flour ATT
bales Of cotton and 478 sacks Of wheat.
It is estimated that London under
writers have lost s2.000,000.
Marine engineers and underwriters
at the scene of the Dakota's dissolu-
ton, believe that it will be Impossible
to raise the machinery.
The Dakota sailed from Seattle on
February II for the orient with 64
passengers and valuable cargo and
was due to reach Yokohama on the
day she crashed onto Osano reef about
4 0miles south Of Yokohama. Captain
Emil Francke was in command. The
passengers were landed safely and
taken to Yokohama.

The sentiment of the miners is al

man an opportunity to express him
self the vote was ordered and is now

The Blue Mountain American, of
Sumpter, has just received a letter
from the agricultural department at
Washington. concerning the grazing OF
stock on forest reserves.
This letter was brought out by
letter from Senator Fulton to j. d.
Combs of Grant county, concerning
the inability of the government to
punish stockmen for grazing on for
est reserves without authority.
The letter is as follows:
The Editor the Blue Mountain Ameri-
can, Sumpter Ore:
| Dear Sir:-My attention has been
called to letter from Senator Fulton
to ]. d. Combs. dated February 4, and
published in your issue of February
l.15, and to your editorial comment up
on it. The regulations forbidding
grazing without a permit on the ma
tional forests We're made under and
by authority of the act of June 4, 1897,
| $50 Stat, 34-S6), which provides as
follows:
1.-THE secretary may make
such rules and regulations as will in
sure the objects of such reservations.
namely, to regulate their occupancy
and use and to preserve the forests
thereon from destruction; and any vi
olations of the provisions shall be pun
ished as is provided for in. the act of
June 4, 1883, amending section 53SS
of the Revised Statutes of the United
States"
Fine Is Provided.
The punishment provided for in the
act of June 4, 1888, above quoted. is
"a fine of not more than $500" or i'm
prisonment "for not more than IL
months, or both in the discretion OF
the court" You will therefore see
that congress has specifically sub
Jected to fine and Imprisonment any
person who violates the regulations OF
the secretary of agriculture made to
protect the national forests.
The constitutionality 'of the provis-
ions of this statute, making violation
of the regulations a crime, has been
questioned. The district courts OF
southern California, Utah and eastern
Washington have decided against its
ccnstitutionality
The supreme court of Arizona
which is a coordinate court with the
district courts just named, has decid'
ed in favor of its constitutionality, bu
after the United States circuit cour
of appeals at San Francisco had de-
; cided for the constitutionality of The
statute in a civil case the district judge
flor northern California, when new
case was presented to him, overrulet
his earlier decision, and on October
2, 1906, imposed fines upon the vio'
lators of the grazing regulations.
The attorney general twice gave his
written opinion that the act is con
stitutional, and suggested that crimi'
nal prosecution for grazing trespas'
be continued in all districts where M
decisions adverse to its constitutional
Iity have been made, in order that some
person convicted might appeal to the
higher courts and thus secure a fina
