GRAZING LAWS

GOVERNMENT WINS SIXTH CASE,
PROVING JURISDICTION OVER
FOREST RESERVES.

The government has just won it's
sixth important case concerning the
validity of the regulations made by the
secretary of agriculture to control graz
ing in the national forests. In the
United States court at Denver, Colora-
do, Judge Robert E. Lewis has over
ruled the demurrer of Fred Light, a
wealthy stockman of Pitkin county,
Colorado, which contended that the
grazing regulations in force on the ma
tiOnal forests are unconstitutional.
The whole case revolved around the
contention raised by some Colorado
stockmen that the government is nc
more than a private land owner in the
matter of state fence laws A number
Of states have fence laws which make Il
impossible for a private person to col
lect fees or damages from owners of
stock which stray upon his land un-
less the land is fenced. The National
forests are not fenced and on this the
stockmen based their refusal to pay
grazing fees.

SAY MCPHERSON
PASSED BAD CHECK
MEMBER OF BROKERAGE FIRM IS
ARRESTED THIS AFTER
NOON,

What is alleged to be another case Of
a bad check proposition came to light
today when a check drawn by J. w.
Mcpherson on a Spokane bank, and
passed to Bachtold & Ackerman, was
returned from Spokane with the in
formation that Mcpherson has no
money in the bank
Mcpherson is a representative of the
firm of Sparks Bros, a real estate
corporation of Spokane. He has been
in the city for several days and passed
two of the alleged bogus checks. The
one in question is for SIS. Two other
employees of the same firm are being
held pending an investigation as to
what they know of the case.
A. c. Olson, manager of the company
for this city, is to be in town tonight,
it is thought 1t is understood that
Bachtold and Ackerman will at once
swear out a warrant for Mcpherson.

ALLEGED HORSETHIEF FAILS TO
APPEAR TODAY WHEN CASE
is CALLED.

Erwin 4. Mexican, charged with
horse stealing, failed to show up this
morning when his case was called in
the superior court and his cash bond of
$500 was declared forfeited. A bench
warrant will be issued for him and tho
probabilities are that he will face the
charge sooner or later
Mexican, it is thought, knew how
badly he was up against it, Sheriff
Haviland ana his deputies say they
have evidence that would have con-
Victed him. He was the man who stole
a saddle horse in broad daylight from
a Dry Creek ranch, when the horse
had been left to Craze by the side of In"
road while it's owner went into the
nearby house. The theft was bold and
open and discovery came soon after. He
put up a bond of $500 and has not
been seen for some time.

TOO MUCH TOBACCO
TOO LITTLE EDUCATION
PROF. SiSSONS DELIVERS CHAR
ACTERISTIc ADDRESS AT THE
HIGH SCHOOL.

Fourteen dollars per capita for to-
bacco and only SO for education, was
one of the remarkable situations
shown up last night by Prof. E. ..
Sissons of the University Of Washing
ton at the high school auditorium. He
protested against the lack of democracy
in schools and especially in athletics,
where the men who do not need the
training get the most of it and those
who do need it get none. The Bible mas
been taken from the schools and moth
ing has replaced it. Something, the
speaker said, should take its place.
The lecture was interesting through
out and was heard by a good sized au-
dience. Pres. S. 3. L. Penrose presided
and introduced the speaker. Two musi-
cal selections were rendered by the
girls glee club Of the high school.

WHITMAN TEAM
HAS A NEW COACH
r, Q, APPLEGATE OF Y. M. c. A.
TAKES MISSIONARIES IN
CHARGE.

While Whitman has lost the baseball
championship for this year, there is
little danger that she will lose any
more games. For yesterday, a new
coach was secured in the person of F.
D. Applegate, physical director of the
Y. NJ. c. A
To those who know Applegate's work
in the gymnasium it will not come as
any surprise to hear that he is a crack
baseball player and that he has been on
some of the fastest league teams III
the country. This year he had an offer
from Portland, which, however, he has
turned down, even though he would
have occupied the star place in the
center Of the diamond as a member OF
the twirling staff. Applegate is said 70
be not only fast but master of the
game and his advent in the field has
put new life into the team.

At kEYloR GRAND
TONIGHT'S Benefit FOR PARK
PROMISES TO BE A GREAT
SUCCESS.

Standing room will be sold at the
KeylOr Grand tonight and the park
movement will be greatly benefited by
the society vaudeville if the advance
sale indicates anything.
The rehearsals Were completed this
afternoon and all is in readiness for
the first society vaudeville ever given
here. And it will be good one. 1t will
be one that will please not few but
all. There is something in the program
that everyone can enjoy and in fact
there is nothing that all will not enjoy.
From first TO last the program went
with a snap and with vim at the dress
rehearsal and the few who were per-
mitted to see it were pleased beyond
their expectations. There is so much
good about it that it is hard to par
ticularize, but it is safe to say that it
will keep everyone awake.
