Eureka Livestock Company Insists
That Law Giving President Right to
Set Aside Reserves In Certain Gases
Is Unconstitutional.

CARSON CITY. New, Sept. 10. One
of the most important suits fled In
this state for years Is being argued In
the federal court here against the right
of President Roosevelt and others
to set aside timber lands 90 forest
reserves, under an act Of congress
making such provisions. The Eureka
Livestock company is the complain
ant. 5$5 5s3
The suit is against President Roose-
velt, Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson,
Chief Forester Pinchot and Forester
Barnette.
The case was argued yesterday be-
fore Judge Harrington and will con-
clude tomorrow. when United States
District Attorney Platt viii finish his
argument.
The forest reservation involved is
the Monitor forest reserve in Eureka
county. The plaintiff company states
that when the president and subordi-
mates set aside the tract Of land as
forest reserve, the company was graz
ing 5000 sheep and now the forestry
department refuses to allow them to
continue to do SO. threatening to con-
fiscate the sheep If the company per-
sists in such action. The plaintin
claims the land is more valuable for
agricultural and mineral purposes
than for timber and therefore should
not be set aside.
