IMPORTANT
SUIT HEARD
Monitor Forest Reserve
Claimed to be
Illegal

The suit instituted by the Eurkea
Land and Livestock Company against
President Roosevelt, Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson, Chief Forester
Pinchot and Forester Barnett is be-
ing heard in the Federal court in this
city and is the first of its kind ever
filed in the country
The Land company is questioning
the right of the President and the
Forestry department to set aside tim
ber lands as forest reservations, the
one in question being the Monitor
Forest Reserve located in Eureka
county of this state. The plaintiffs
in the case who are represented by
Attorney o. ]. Smith of Reno claim
that at the time of the setting aside
of the land in the Forest Reserve
they were pasturing 5000 sheep on
the land but now the government
refuses to allow this and threatens
to confiscate the sheep unless the
practice stops. That the land in the
reserve is more valuable for agricul
tural and grazing purposes than for
a forest reserve and asks that the or
der setting the land aside be declared
null and void.
The defendants in the case are
represented by U. S. District Attor-
ney Sam Platt who is making his
fight on the grounds that the court
has no Jurisdiction over the discreet
ionary acts of the chief executive of
the nation.
The arguments in the case will be
completed by the end of the week
and the case submitted to the court.
This is the first case of the kind
ever heard in the country and is at
tracing widespread attention.

ceedings was that of the Schmitz
case in San Francisco where the Su-
preme Court held that as the impris-

the purpose of getting the case to
the highest court, that the same was
dismissed and would not be heard
until the case had come to the court
through the regularly prescribed
channels.
In a majority of respect the Schmitz
