"Come; saddle both the horses, Os-

Board Of Trade Meeting.

The regular weekly meeting of the Board of Trade was held on Tuesday evening at the Board good attendance of Directors was present.
 The secretary stated in his week ly report that he had lately sent out letters to all commercial or ganizations now receiving the spe- cial literature being sent out week ly from Nogales for their files. Already the secretary is receiving replies thanking the Board for sending such literature, and stat ing that the Oasis would be placed where it would be seen by the gen. eral public.
 Although the Board of Trade has found it impossible to continue the expense of gauging to Santa Cruz River at this time, the organiZ ation is hopeful of receiving assist ance from the National Govern ment for continuance of the gaug ing station.
 On representation by Mir. Chap mar, Chairman of the Irrigation Committee the secretary was in structeu to write MT. Hill of the Reclamation Service at Phoenix, asking that on his proposed trip to Washington for the purpose of laying before the authorities there the necessity for larger funds for irrigation projects in Arizona, he should present the claims of No gales and Santa Cruz County for assistance in securing an irrigation sustem for the Santa Cruz Valley.
 The Fourth of July Committee reported progress and the chair man stated that the Finance Com mittee would soon begin their labors looking to secure sufficient funds for making the occasion a memorable one. When this com mittee calls on you be sure to do the best you can in the way of contributions. The various sub committees of the 4th of July cele- bration are all busy and will shortly be in position to outline the various sports and other feat ures of the entertainment.

the contention raised by some Co., lorado Stockmen that the govern ment IS no more than private land owner in the matter of state fence laws. A number of states have fence laws which make it inn possible for private person to collect fees or damages from own CTS of stock which stray upon his land unless he has it fenced. The National Forests are not fenced and on this the stockmen based their refusal to pay grazing fees.
 A friendly suit to test the re- gulations of the Secretary of Agri culture prohibiting the drifting of stock upon the forest. At the Pub lie Lands Convention held in Den yer last June the forest officers and representatives of the Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers Asso- citation, of which Mir. Light is a member agreed to q friendly suit. The case is practically the same as the famous Shannon case in Mon- tana, in which the grazing regula- tions were also upheld.
 The decision of Judge Hunt in etlIS SdoO " hlCo Oy the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at the ninth circuit sitting at San Francisco on February 3, this year. That decision stated without qualification that the graz ing regulations are reasonable and valid and that the state land laws do not apply to the National Forests and that therefore, the drifting of stock upon the forests in violation of the regulations is trespassing, notwithstanding the state law.
 The Light decision simply affirm ed the same principle in another jurisdiction. The attorneys for Mir. Light, under the agreements made before the trial, are bound not to dispute the facts, but will probably appeal to the legal question for decision by the Circuit Court of appeal at St. Lous. Eventually it will be carried up to the Supreme Court.
