STATE LAWS
ON RESERVES
Interesting Questions Raised
By Violation of Game
Regulations

The question of the state officials
having the authority to enforce the
state laws on the Indian timber re-
serve will be tested by the action
brought against Indian Agent Lipps by
Deputy State Game Warden Har-
baugh.
AS custodian Of the Indian mill,
known, as government mill No. l, In
dian Agent Lipps has been placed un-
der arrest on the charge of dumping
sawdust in the stream the mill being
located on a tributary to Big Canyon
creek. Mr.. Lipps was brought to Lew
iston this morning and on account of
Deputy u. S. Attorney Johnson's be-
ing absent from the city asked that
the case be continued until August IS.
at which time Mr.. johnson would be
here to represent his interests.
Mr.. Lipps will make his defense on
the grounds that the state has no au-
thority on the Indian reserve. The
creek upon which the mill is located is
located is dry during several months,
but during the fall, winter and spring
the food waters carry the sawdust int
the main Big Canyon stream and
traces Of the sawdust are carried down
the canyon stream for eight miles. A
large number of complains have been
filed against this mill by residents

the miners located within the forest

in circulation yesterday that Japan
ese had been arrested at Fort Rose
Grams in the act of making drawings

drawing plans of the fort; that he
was not servant but a stranger, and
that there is a heavy punishment for
the offense.
He declined to give the name of the
Japanese and would not say what he
