Hunt Grazing Decision
 Affirmed.

NdSCu Ol NOllldIld, ndS nOllIlSu Clifford PlnchOt, Chief of the Uni ted States Forest Service, that the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco, has affirmed the decision of Judge Hunt in the grazing trespass case instituted by the Government against Thomas Shannon.
 No copy ot the decision has yet been received by the Forest Ser vice, but 1t IS believed that 1t for bids stOckman to allow their cat tie to drift upon the National Forests, and that the National Forests need not be fenced to pre- vent such drifting, although the state laws may make such fencing necessary for private lands.
 In December, 1901, Shannon allowed his cattle to drift upon the Little Belt National Forest in Montana. To put a stop to this, suit was brought by the United States, and on March IS, 1907, Judge Hunt, in the United States Circuit Court for the State, rendered a decision in favor of the Government, and issued an injunction perpetually restrain ing Shannon from allowing his cattle to drift upon the Forests. Montana has d fence law by which land owners must fence their lands before they can obtain redress from stOckman whose cattle, feeding upon the open pub lie domain, range upon and in- jure the private lands.
 Shannon's council argued that this state law should apply as against the United States, but Judge Hunt held that the power of Congress over the public lands, including the National Forests, is complete; that Congress has lawfully delegated to the Secre- tary of Agriculture the authority l to make regulations to protect the Forest; that the Secretary had properly made a regulation that cattle must not range upon the Forests without permit, and that consequently Shannon was a trespasser when he allowed his cattle to drift upon the Little Belt Forest, although 1t was un- fenced.
 Shannon appealed from this de cis1On, and as Montana is in the 9th Federal Judicial Circuit, which embraces most of the Rocky Mountain and Pacific states, his appeal was heard by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, sitting at San Francisco. The Court has now affirmed Judge | Hunts decision, and this judg- ment IS binding upon all Federal l

.SCANT HOPE THAT
BOYS ARE ALIVE
Police Find Oar and Gunwale
of Missing Barge Lost
in Bay

The harbor police were notified early
yesterday morning that the boat picked
up on the Berkeley shore was not the
racing barge missing with five boys
since Thursday morning from the South
End rowing club. The launch Patrol.
in charge of Captain Conboy. at once
resumed the search. The Patrol re-
turned to this side with one OF the
oars and the port gunwale OF the
missing barge.
The fragments had been picked up
early on Friday near the foot of Ninth
street. Oakland, by William Anderson
OF 124 Chase street. Anderson carried
the wreckage to 1915 Ninth street and
in the back yard there Detective Casey
yesterday found the remains of the rae
ing barge and the oar.
Scant hope is now entertained for the
boys. Several of them are said to
have been good swimmers, but the
best of swimmers would have stood
little chance in the sea that was run
ming Thursday afternoon when the
barge was last seen.
A faint hope that the boys have not
perished is held out by Harry Wolff OF
73s Clementina street Wolf was
working on a barge in the stream and
at 2 O'Clock in the afternoon saw the
boys returning from Yerba Buena ISL
and. At the same time the tramp
steamer Gymeric passed out to sea
After the Gymeric had passed Wolfr
saw nothing further OF the young men
and he regards it as possible that the
vessel picked them up. The Gymeric
was bound for Melbourne.
A spoon oar of the pattern used In
racing barges and supposed to have
come from the Ill fated craft and which
matches the oar found in the boat when
1t was picked up on the Berkeley
shore was recovered from the bay near
the west end Of the Alameda mole Fri
day morning by d. A. Hasty of 1915
Versailles avenue, Alameda The oar
was found of the south side OF the
mole about 500 yards east of the ferry
slip. The oar bore the name of T. r.
Kennan, the maker. The oar that was
in the barge bore the name OF the
same maker
