must be taken in selecting suitable
streams in each county as this means
much to the future fishing in the state

"The department has carefully in

similar departments in other states,
and it has been found by those states,
after years Of experience, that unless
the fish are planted in the shallow
water where the large Ash cannot pur-
sue them, they will be destroyed.

SUPREME court TAKES FAIT
OUT OF FORREST SERVICE

Bv an evenly divided court the SUI
nreme court of the United States
Monday affirmed the decision of the
federal court of California, which held
that the grazing of sheep without
PERMISSION of the forest reserve was
not violation of the law.
Tho question arose in the cases of
Pierre Grimaud and j. P. Carajous,
who we're indicted in 1907 in the fed
eral courts of California on charge
of grazing sheep without permission
in the Sierra forest reserve within
the state of California.
The indictment was brought under
the act of January 1897, which au-
thOrized the secretary of the interior
and later the secretary of agriculture
to make provisions for the protection
of the public lands in the forest re-
serve against destruction by fire and
depredations. Punishment for viola
tons of the provisions were provided
for.
Wednesdays Statesman gives A. F.
Potter's Interpretation of the decision.
Mr.. Potter is chic of grazing land.
Mr.. Potter states that the decision
affects only this legal phase of the
question and does not bring into ques-
ton the departments right to regu-
late the grazing on reserves, nor does
it, in his judgment, curtail the right
to impose a fee for grazing on the re-
serves. Both practices, he says, will
be continued, unless, upon further
analysis of the courts ruling, they
are found to be unlawful.
The Statesman says:
Never before has court decision
SO vitality affected the sheep industry,
especially in the western states. The
fight that has been precipitated there
by promises to develope into one of the
largest and hardest fought contests
ever witnessed in this part of the

He was sitting back in his chair as he spoke. His eyes were half closed, and he laziEy smoked his ci- gar. Nevertheless, Olive thought he was watching her furtively. But per haps that was because his story aroused memories which made the past live again.
 From this time the conversation drifted on to other subjects, and Sig nor Ricordo made himself vastly monopolizing the conversation, he be- came an Eastern, he was acquainted with English literature, and although he spoke English with a peculiar in tonation, he expressed his thoughts with great clearness. Give said but little. The story he had told con- taincd such a meaning for her, that she had no desire to speak; never theIess, she listened eagerly to his every word. Besides, his presence continued to have kind of fascina- ton for her. Why, she could not tell. yet when he arose to take his leave, she felt that everything would seem tame and commonplace after he had gone.
 MT. Castlemaine again pressed re- treatments upon him; but again he refused to take them. It is true that he refused with a great show of courtesy, but he seemed determined to partake of nothing which the house could offer.
 .I am afraid you are thinking of my sad story" he said, turning to Olive as he was on the point of say ing goodnight. "Of course you Eng fish have different thoughts and cus- toms from the Easterns, still, would like to ask you a question, if I might"
 Certainly replied Olive, trying to appear cheerful.
 Do you think my friend would be justified in seeking revenge on the woman who sent him to despair, and worse than death?"
