FEDERAL GRAZING
 LAWS WIN AGAIN
rrom wedne-day's Dallyl

The government has just won its sixth important case concerning tac validity of the regulations made by tho secretary of agriculture to control grazing in the national forests. In the United States court al Denver, Colo, Judge Robert F.. Lewis has ovcrrulcd the demurrer of Fred Light, n wealthy stockman bf Pitkin County, Colorado, lations on the national forests are un. constitutional.
 contention raised by some Colorado stockmcn that the government is no more than n private land owner in the matter of state fence laws. X nun Der of states have fence laws which make |, impossible for private per son to collect fees or damages from owners of stock which stray upon his land unless the land ir fenced. The national forests are not fenced and on this the stockmen based their refusal 10 pay grazing fees.
 X friendly shit was started to test the | regulations of the secretary of agricul' turc prohibiting drifting of stock upon the forest. At the public lands con vcntion held in Denver last June the forest officers and representatives of 1 l association. of which Mir. Light Is a member agreed to a friendly suit. The case Is practically the same as the fla
 nous shannon case in Montana, m which the grazing regulations were also upheld.
 The decision of Judge Hunt in thi'
 Montana case was affirmed ny thu
 United states circuit court of appeal' at the nintn circuit sitting at saI
 Francisco on February 2, this year
 That decision stated without qualified
 ton that the grazing regulations arr
 reasonable and valid and that th' state land laws do no, apply to tn
 national forests and that therefore
 the drifting of stock upon the forest . in violation of the regulation Is trc' { passing, notwithstanding the stat { law.
 :. The Light decision simply anirme . tne same principle in another jurisdi'
 ton. The attorneys for Mir Light, ur !, der the agreements made before th c trial. arc bound not to dispute the fact n but will probably appeal the legs
 question for decision by the circu court of appeals at st. Louis. q The other suits attacking the grai ing regulations won by the governmer | are the following cases the Unite states versus shannon, Montana th
 United states versus Bale, South ID '. kota; the United States versus ID <. guirrc, Northern California; toe Uni O cd States versus Domingo, Idaho; th r, United states versus Dent, Arizona.

Look Out for Elks

1t is publicly announced on the
streets rs we go to press that
a herd of Elks have broken out
from the confines of their graz
ing grounds at Silver City and
are headed this way. From the
CONSERVATION that has developed
in the ranks of local>sympathiz-
ers one would think that there
must be something wonderful do
ing. Our chained lightning dispen
ser, McCamey,i is believing up and
down the streets and tearing out
his hair by the handfuls. AL
Watkins is flying about so red in
the face that his friends are
momentarily expecting him to
break a blood vessel. Joe Kelly
is standing on tiptoe doing his
best in an effort to look over
Black Mountain. DR.. Swope is
frantically driving back and forth
from the river to see If the brush
recently applied to support the
abutments of the new bridge will
stand the onslaught of a hungry
herd. Joe Mahoney has under
taken" to secure a burro train
and head off the stampede be-
fore it destroys Frank Nordhaus'
bachelor reputation. DR.. Moran
is vehemently advocating rush
ing them into the opera house
and examining their teeth for
the purpose of telling whose
wife she was. The last seen Of
Dwight Stevens he was beating
a hasty retreat toward the Mex
lean line and tapping a long pair
of taps under a big gray horse.
A. W. Pollard and Jim Upton
were seen in an animated discus
sion on the long and the short of
the matter while both of their
eyes bulged out with excitement.
Maurice Nordhaus was last seen
in a heated argument with
his wife. as to whether he should
arm himself with a silken rope

or a box of candy, while Oscar
Durand assures his friends that
ii it comes to the worst he will try
hard to find a knot hole in the
Crescent Lumber yards large
enough to crawl into.
The herd will undoubtedly
reach here Saturday evening,
and if DR.. Moran succeeds in get
ting them located in the opera
house those who witness the
united efforts of the local long
horns in trying to find out whose
wife she was" will never forget
the spectacle.
There are said to be some
calves in the herd that yet re-
quire Elk's milk as a regular diet
and Joe Mahoney has been unan-
imously selected to furnish the
required quantity of this COM
modify.

Entertains Gov Curry and Distinguished Members of
the National Irrigation Congress in
Elaborate Style.
WE WILL HELPTHE GREAT CONGRESS
The Enthusiastic Reception Closes With Elegant Banquet
and the Distinguished Party Leaves the Windmill City
Feeling They Had Been Most Royalty Received.

Misses Lillian and Pansy Smith
and lone Hodgdon, did the hon
ors of the occasion in her usual
graceful way.
AT 2:30 the opera house was
crowded to the doors with the
representative people of the vii.
lage and surrounding community,
where they might welcome the
Chief Executive and hear what
the distinguished representatives
of the National Irrigation Con-
gaess had to say.
Dr.. Swope, Chairman of the
Board of Village Trustees, well
coined the governor and party in
behalf of the citizens. In few
well chosen remarks he painted
in glowing colors the beauties
and prosperity of our growing
community, and not only grace
fully presented the keys of the
village to the visitors, but assured
them that the bars to the en-
trance Of our hospitality had
been carried away and chopped
into kindling wood, that they
might serve to prepare the well
come feast.
DIR. Swope.introduced the sep
arate members of the party, who
responded in able and eloquent
addresses upon our resources, the
coming Irrigation Congress and
the prospect Of statehood. They
were followed by our own Ralph
Z. Ely, who talks Of water irri-
cation as no one else can.
During the speaking the Man
dolin club with Miss Katie Wam-
el as leading violin, and Mrs. c..
A. Ament at the piano, render
ed several beautiful selections,
and Miss Roseborough delighted
the audience with a solo.
On the adjournment of the
meeting atthe opera house the
governor held a public reception
in which he met many of his old
time friends and his new ad-
mirers.
Another short ride through the
city and the party were invited
to sit down to an elegant banquet
at the Harvey House.
Covers were laid for fifty
guests, and though many more
applied for admission the lists
were of necessity closed early for
lack of more commodious accom-
dations.
| The menu furnished by Mine
Host Brown, the able manager
of the Harvey House, would
have done credit to any caterer,
and no fifty men ever sat down
to one table more tastefully and
elegantly arranged. The service
was perfect.
Ralph c. Ely, as postmaster,
was in fine feather. He was a
bird and scared in flights of elo.
quence among the clouds of poe.
try and romance. His pointed
witticisms kept the guests in an
uproar of merriment, and the
responses from Messrs. Curry,
Hopewel!, Bursum, Twitchell,
Waddill, Corbett and McCamey
brought fourth round after round
Of applause.
1t required the presence Of the
train and the repeated warnings
of the engine whistle to break
up the party. who all joined in
giving our hearty acclamation tc
our governor and q rousine three
cheers and a tiger asst the train
bore him away.
Deming surely did herself
proud, on short notice for prep.
aration, on this occasion but she
always does when her able citi'
zens unite in an effort to do hon.

Deming being a dull town. The

was late and an ugly cold rain
was falling, an enthusiastic com
mittee were awaiting their arriv-
al with carriages, in which they
were conveyed to the spacious
apartments of the Adelphi club,
where a large concourss Of our
citizens and their wives gave
them a hearty greeting.
Monday morning the little city
blossomed out like magic in flags
and bunting, and at an early
hour Col. Plinney Burdick and
Major Frank Nordhaus were
blowing their auto horns for a
passage through the crowded
streets on their way TO the de-
pot hotel, where, together with
several carriages, they awaited
the pleasure of the party. Soon
in company with reception
committee, headed by the hon.
orable chairman of the Village
Board, they were wheeling away
in every direction to see some of
the many sights that our grow
ing community has to show.
Gardens and orchards inter-
ested some. irrigation systems,
power plants, pumping PROPOSE
tions and growing crops others.
The school with its three hundred
pupils, first in fire drill, when
the schoolhouse was emptied in
one minute and ten seconds, and
then singing in chorus, when the
three hundred young American
voices united in singing the ma
tional anthem, interested the
Governor and his immediate
party. The blue grass lawns, the
blooming fruit trees and the
budding flowers interested all.

invitation from Hon. A. W. Pol
