GRAZING TREsPASS BY
DRIFTING STOCK.
National Forests Are Not Subject to
State Fence Laws.

On February 3, 1908, at San Fran
cisco, the United States circuit court
of appeals for the ninth judicial cir
cult rendered decision of far
reaching Importance to the National
Forests and to the stockmen of the
west.
In December, 1904, one Thomas
Shannon allowed his cattle to drift
upon the Little Belt National Forest
in Montana. To put stop to this
suit was brought by the United
States and on March IS, 1907, Judge
Hunt, in the United States circuit
court for that state, rendered de-
cision in favor of the government,
and issued an injunction perpetually
restraining Shannon from allowing
his cattle to drift upon the forest.
Montana has a fence law by which
land owners must fence their lands
before they can obtain redress from
stockmen whose cattle, feeding upon
public domain. range upon and in
jure the private lands.
Shannon's counsel 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 Ma
tional forests, is complete; that con-
gress has lawfully delegated to the
Secretary of Agriculture the author
ity to make regulations to protect
the Forests; that the Secretary has
properly made regulation that cat
tie must not range upon the forests
without permit, and that consequent
ly Shannon was trespasser when he
allowed his cattle to drift upon the
Little Belt Forest, although it was
unfenced.
Shannon appealed from the deci-
sion, and as Montana is In the ninth
Federal judicial circuit, his appeal
was heard by the United States cir
cult court of appeals for that circuit,
sitting at San Francisco. The court
has now affirmed Judge Hunts deci-
sion, and this judgment Is binding
upon all Federal courts in the cir
cult. Similar questions have arisen
In Colorado and other parts of the
west, and this decision Is therefore
of the highest Importance to every
stockman.

Wireless Plans OF Fleet.

Honolulu, r. H., May 5.-Wireless
communication across the Pacific
from Australia to the American
mainland and from the Asiatic conti-
nent, is confidently predicted will
be accomplished during the cruise
Of the American battleship fleet in
the latter part OF July or August.
This will be done by means OF relay
stations, and steps have already been
taken towards this end
The Commercial Wireless company
here is at present constructing a sta
tion of sufficient power to commune
cate with California stations, and the
Associated Press has announced that
the navy department will establish a
temporary station In the South Seas,
probably at Suva while the feet Is In
those waters, by which means 1t Is
expected that the battleships will be
able to keep in constant touch with
Washington from the time they leave
San Francisco.

Big Excursion to Hawaii.

Honolulu, T. H., May 5.--The Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce Is ar
ranging for a big excursion to Ha-
wall during July. The big liner
Sierra, of the Oceanic Steamship Co.
has been chartered for the trip and
will sail from San Pedro on July q,
reaching Hilo, Hawaii. on the 9th,
and after visiting the volcano and
other points of interest on the Big
Island, her passengers will reembark
for Honolulu on the 14th. 1t is ex-
pected that the visit to Honolulu will
be co-incident with hte arrival there
O fthe battleship fleet. The excur-
sion will be by all odds the biggest
thing ever undertaken by the south
ern California city, but the success of
a similar undertaking, except on a
smaller scale, last year, makes the
promoters confident of bigger sue
cess this year. It Is expected that the
Sierra will carry over $50 passengers
on the round trip.

Beet Blocking and Thinning.

In an article on Beet Culture"
published in the May number Of the
Beet Sugar Gazette, Jesse H. Buffum
on Blocking and Thinning Beets"
says:
"Just about as soon as the beets
are up, when they put forth four
leaves, punching and thinning be-
gins. It is done in this way-Tak-
ing one row at time, the operator
by use of six or seven-inch hoe
cuts out all surplus beets, leaving
some healthy ones In little punches,
spaced about eight inches apart. In
each bunch there are several healthy
beets. This operation is called
blocking" or punching. lmmed-
lately following the first operator,
comes man on his hands and knees
his business is to remove all but one
beet. making sure that this survival
of the fittest Is the strongest and
best. He performs his task by Sc
lecting the favored plant, gently
pressing his fingers down around 1t,
and pulling out al lothers and throw
ing them away He Is careful not to
uproot the remaining beet, and In
removing the surplus ones, the roots
of the chosen plant are carefully
guarded. After pressing the earth
down gently but firmly and taking
out all weeds in the row, he passes
on to the next bunch, still on his
knees, in which posture he remains
throughout the row. Simply and
briefly, this constitutes the entire
process Of punching and thinning.

The Reporter.

The man behind the newspaper
Is the man who gets the news.
Who reads the plots Of human hearts
And tragedy reviews.
Who breasts storm on winters
night
And rushes through the rain
To tell the sum of happiness,
OF sorrow and Of pain.
No laurel ever crowns his brow;
The world declines to praise;
He moves unnoticed and unknown
In crowded human ways.
No soldier in the ranks more brave,
No patriot more true.
A rare devotion Is revealed
In all he tries to do.
And while no bugle blare may lift
-" His merit to the skies,
The world has lost hero when
A good reporter dies.-Ex.
