GRAZING DECISION AFFIRMED

United States Attorney Rasch of Montana has notified Clifford Pin chot, chief of the U. S. forest ser wee, that the United States circuit court of appeals at San Francisco has tfirmed the decision of Judge Hunt in the grazing trespass case instituted by the hegovernmentagainst Thomas Shannon.
 No copy of the decision has yet been received by the forest service, but it is believed that it furb ds stockmen to allow Ih+ir cattle to drift upon the nationa forests, and that the national forests need not be fenced to prevent such drifting, although the state laws may make such fencing necessary for private lands.
 In December, 1904. Shannon all lowed his cattle to drift upon the Little Belt national forest in Mon tana. 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 perpetu- ally restraining Shannon from al lowing his cattle to drift upon the forests. Montana has fence law by which land owners must fence their lands before they can obtain redress from stockmen whose cat tie, feeding upon the open public lomain, range upon and injure 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, in- cluding the National Forests, is complete; that Congress has law fully delegated to the secretary of agriculture the authority to make regulations to protect the forest; that the secretary had prop erly made a regulation that cattle must not range upon the forest without permit, and that conse 4uently Shannon was trespasser when he allowed his cattle to drift upon the Little Belt Forest, al- though it was unfenced.
 Shannon apealed from this de- cision, and as Montana is in the 9th Federal Judicial Circuit, which embraces most of the Rocky Noun tain 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 judgment is binding upon all Federal Courts in the Circuit. A similar case is pending in the United States Circuit Court for Colorado, which is in the Sth Circuit.

RAILROAD LAND GRANTS

Congress, in making the land grants. which were probably y es- sential to the construction of our first trans continental railroads at the time when they were construc- ted, supposed it was doing a great thing for the country with no cost whatever to the nation. The un- inha bited regions through which these roads passed for the greater part of the way could only be made accessible by railroads, which. as it then seemed, might not, without aid, be built for hundreds of years. The grant was therefore made of alternate sections of land for ten miles on each side of the road, and at the same time the government price of the sections reserved was doubled, the railroad compa nies- UT dt icdSI Iuo \uiS1 Coui pa uiCS iS ceiving the grant-also being obli gated to sell at the same maximum price of $2 50 per acre-first come, first served.
 The railroad companies took the land and promptly mortgaged it, but as it was evident that some of the land was valuable and other parts of it worthless they soon abandoned all pretense of selling at uniform prices, but proceeded to collect whatever they could. In some cases. apparently, they held at high prices for speculation, es- pecially of valuable timber lands. Instead, also, of confning their sales to 160 acres to one purchaser they sold in large tracts. In many cases this was probably to the pub lie interest as concentrating valua- Olc IlulUtT III Hd nus WulCL COulu utilize and conserve 1t, but it is claimed that it was against the law, and Senator Fulton of Ore gon, at the request of Attorney General Bonaparte, has introd uced a resolution directing that official to proceed against the Southern Pacific company to enforce the rights of the United States in re- spect to it's land grants in Oregon and California The senate has not yet acted on the resolution, to which Senator Foraker objected on the grounds both of necessity and propriety. What may come of it or what the defense of the railroad company will be remains to be seen. IL is said that congress has power to forfeit the grants for non- compliance with conditions, but any such action would go to the courts. as the mortgages would unquestionably set up an equity by alleging that the non-enforcement of the condition for forty years amounts to an abandonment.-S.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY
ENGINEER CARELESS.

Mrs. ]. A. Hatch and Miss Fox
on Monday, had a very narrow
escape from instant death in it's
most horrible form.
These two ladies', with Marga-
ret, the daughter of Mrs. Hatch,
were driving towards Naples.
Monday morning about eleven
o'clock and were within less than
ten feet of the Southern Railway
crossing near that station when
the local freight from Asheville
came tearing across the road. The
engineer failed to whistle for the
crossing, the engines bell was
net ringing, and the ladies had
absolutely no warning of the
trains approach.
That the three escaped a hor-
rible death is most marvellous.
The horse was turned quickly,
Miss Fox jumped from the buggy,
and the horse and buggy, with
Mrs. Hatch and the little girl
went over steep embankment.
By only the utmost good fortune
they were uninjured except fol
a few bruises and a severe shak-
ing up. A doctor was summoned
who attended to their needs, and
the ladies are now none the worse
for their terrifying experience
and their narrow escape from
being ground to pulp under the
engine wheels.
While the engineer must have
seen the accident, as they were
within a few feet of the train
when it passed by, he made nc
effort to discover the result OF
his negligence to- whistle fol
crossing. .
1t is said that such narrow es.
C, pes are by no means rare, as
the engineers very often neglect
to sound any warning of theil
approah to this and other cross
ings.
