nseislon sustsins Grazing Regulations

Decision Sustains oraz'nR heeuIations
 The government has ust won its sixth important case concerning tbe validity of the regulations made by the Secretary of Agrlcul- ture to control grazing Tn the National Forests. In the United States Court at Denver, Colorado, Judge Robert k. Lewis has over ruled the demurrer of Fred Light, wealthy stockman of Pitkin County, Colorado, which contended that the grazing regulations in force on the National Forests are unconstitutional.
 The whole case revolved around the contention raised by some Col Orado stockmen that the Govern ment is no more than a private land owner in the matter of state fence laws. A numbers of states have fence laws which make 1t inn possible for private person to col lect fees or damages from owners of stock which stray upon his land unless the land is fenced. The National Forests are not fenced and on this the stockmen based their refusal to pay grazing fees.
 At the Public Lands Convention held in Denver last June the forest officers and representatives of the Colorado Cattle and Horse Grew CTS Association, of which MT. Light is member agreed to a friendly suit. The case is practi- Cally the same as the famous Shannon case in Montana, in which the grazing regulations were also upheld.
 The decision of Judge Hunt in this Montana case was affirmed by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at the ninth circuit sitting in San Francisco on February 3, this year. That decision stated without qualification that the graz ing regulations are reasonable and valid and that the state land laws do not apply to the National Forests and that therefore, the drifting of stock upon the Forests in violation of the regulation is trespassing, notwithstanding the state laws.
 The Light decision simply af- frmed the same principle in an other jurisdiction. The attorneys for MT. Light, under the agree ments made before the trial, are bound not to dispute the facts, but will probably appeal the legal question for decision by the Circuit Court of Appeal at St. Louis. Eventually it will be carried up to the Supreme Court.
 The other suits attacking the grazing regulations won by the Government are the following cases: the United States versus Dale, South Dakota; the United otates versus Deguirre, Northern California; the United States yer sus Domingo, Idaho; the United 0'ates versus Dent, Arizona.

The territory is located in the dis tricts of Ures, Hermosillo and Guaymas.
 The administration office of the company will be Fundicion. All communications, for the present, may be addressed to the company's secretary, w. P. Tucker.
 In view of the many communi- cations which the company has received from various persons rela- tive to Announcements which they have desired to make wihin the concessions, it has been decided to give to all those who have ex- pressed a desire to make such loca- tions, because of the expense to which they have already been put, preferential opportunity to do so on a just basis. It will be neces- sary in order to insure this privi- lege, to perfect arrangements with the company to that end at an early date.
