PUBLIC land CASE
IN SUPREME COURT
Argument on Question A. To Wheth-
er Rights to Desert Land Entries
May BE Transferred.
(By Union Associated Press.)

(6y Union Associated Press.)
Washington, Feb. 22.-After the
usual midwinter recess, which began.
Jan. 81, the United States Supreme
Court resumed it's legal grind yester-
day. Arguments were heard on the
long-mooted question as to whether
the rights to desert land entries may
be transferred before reclamation has
been made, also as to whether it is a
crime against the United States to
Craze sheep in a forest reservation
without permission of the Govern
ment.
The question of the ability of an
entryman to transfer a desert land
entry has been considered by the
court before. On the previous occa-
sion, the court held that under the
desert land act of 1877, the entryman
had no right which he could sell or
transfer. The Governments conten-
tion in the present case is that under
the desert land act of 1891, such a
right is given the entryman.
1t is said that thousands of persons
who have procured their land by
transfer, under the desert land act Of
1891, will be affected by the decision.
This is regarded as true particularly
of the Imperial Valley, in California.
Whether or not it is a crime to
Craze sheep, without permission, in a
forest reservation, has arisen in the
indictments of Pierre Grimaud, ]. p.
Carajous and Antonio india, sheepmen
of California.
BY act Of Congress, approved June
4, 1897, the Secretary of the Interior
and later the Secretary of Agriculture,
was directed to make provisions for
the protection of the forest reserva-
tions. It was provided that any vio-
AosAOA VI IhC plONlSlOuS 81 uduc
should be punishable. according to the
revised statues.
In 1906, Secretary Wilson, of the
Department of Agriculture, promul-
gated a regulation requiring all per-
sons to procure permit before graz
ing animals in a forest reserve. 1t
was by reason of alleged violations of
this regulation that the indictments
were found.
Attorneys for the sheepmen con-
tended that the act of 1897 was void
SO far as it attached penalties to any
violation of regulations thereafter to
be made, because it sought to pro-
vide penalty for a crime not COM
pletely defined. It was also argued
that the act was an attempt to corner
legislative authority on an executive
officer.

THE COLD WORLD.

A cold world, but a gold world, and
the best old world we've got
So, laugh and be contended, and be
happy with your lot!
A cold world, but bold world, when
the heart is beating right.
When the hands have done their
duty,
And the eyes find sudden beauty
In the sweet and simple valleys and
the hills that lead to light!
A cold world, but a gold world, and
the best old world we know,
So, deck the lips with laughter and
forget about your woe!
A cold world, but a whole world OF

When we take it's paths of cleaning
To the golden shores of dreaming

IS THE OFFICE NOW VACANT :?
Question Has Been Raised as to

question Has Been Raised as to
Whether Terrell Is Represented
in the Legislature.
Did the Office of representative in
the general assembly from Terrell
county become vacant when Hon. M.
II. Marshall. Jr., moved his family
from Dawson to Columbus several
months ago is question that has
been raised.
1t is reported on the streets that
parties have communicated both with
Mr.. Marshall and Governor Brown
on the subject with a view of having
an election ordered. The governor
has no authority in the matter unless
resignation is placed in his hands,
as under the state constitution the
legislature is the sole judge of the
qualification of it's members.
Therefore, if the question that has
come up as to Mr.. MarshaII's right
to seat in the legislature is pressed
to a conclusion it will necessarily
have to be threshed out before that
body when it meets next June I'M
less he should decide that he does
not care to longer hold the office.
When Mr.. Marshall removed to
columbus he announced that he had
under consideration the question of
reslgning from the legislature, but
whether he has reached a conclusion
or what his intentions now are The
News does not know.
