ReservinR Forests.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided that the federal
government may. without the con-
sent OF the state affected. set aside
vast areas of the pnb1ic lands as
forest reserves irrespective of the
states fencing laws. Thus a much
mooted legal problem has been
settled.
The constitutionaAty of the vast
forest reservations OF the West and
the validity of the modern conserva-
ton policy, were raised early in this
case in the circuit court of the
United States for the District OF
colorado.
The United states government had
brought suit to enjoin Fred Light.
prominent Colorado cattle man,
from causing or permitting his cat
tie to trespass upon the Holy Gross
Forest Reserve in COLORADO. A
stubborn contest arose and among
the other defenses put forth by
Light, was the one that the forma-
ton OF the Holy Cross Reserve,
without the consent of the state of
Colorado. was unconstitutional. As
the other vast reserves in the West
had been formed by a similar pro-
cess of federal action in withdraw
ing public land from entry, the ar
gument applied by analogy to them
The injunction was granted, and an
appeal taken to the Supreme Court
of the United States.
Throughout the contest, the fed
.eral government claimed that when
Light turned his cattle on his
ranch, adjoining the forest reserve.
they followed a well defined cattle
trail. in order to get grass and wa
ter, directly to the reserve where
there existed superior grass and wa
ter supply. Such a practice. the
government contended, was tanta-
mount in law to Lights driving the
cattle upon the reserve.
The defense met the government
with several arguments. In the
first place. it was pointed out that
the reserve had not been fenced by
the government, and Colorado law
provided that no persons should re-
cover damages for trespass unless
the land in question was fenced.
Therefore Light pointed to this Law
as barring the government from re-
lief. The government retorted that
the fence law applied only to indi-
viduals, and not to the state of Cot
orado or TO the United States. If Il
was meant to apply TO the United
states. it was argued by the govern
ment that the law was unconst!tu-
'onal One of the sharp issues OF
the case conferred on this point.
so widespread was the interest in
the case and so vital the questions

a Fine Opportunity.

+ ~
4ttached to desk in a certain
business once in this city is small
card bearing the printed motto,
some raen expect Opportunity to
break down the door and drag them
.o1t Of bed which card was sent TO
.CIarksburg by an enterprising ad-
Yertiser along with other com
merciaI literature.
The moral OF this little motto may
DE applied TO certain condition
nov existing in this city unless few
more residents begin to get busy re-
gafding splendid field for invest
ment opened to them about a week
ago when announcement was made
OF the removal OF the Mountain
Glass Company's large window glass
factory from Couders7ort, Pa, to the
suburban addition of Hartland. 1t
is a dead sure shot that this factory
is coming to Clarksburg and it will
come here unless something quite
improbable and entirely unexpected
happens It is planned to start
work at once and have the plant
ready for operation about Septem-
her i. hence fifty dwelling houses
will be needed by that time and
hfty more within the following
month. Work ought to start on the
.erection OF some of these houses at
once because building operations
hereabouts are in such condition
that II might be impossible to have
the houses ready in time should
they be started later in the season.
There is no better, safer or more
desirable investment than real es-
tate. ClarkabuTg ordinarily offers
splendid field for investment of
this kind, but in the face of the eN-
ceptional opportunity now presented
1t IS difIicuIt to see why there should
not be a prompt rush of wise in
Yestors to reap the profits in store
for somebody.
omcers and members of the Board
of Trade are anxious to have local
capital take advantage of this OPP
portunity as they worked hard to
bring the factory here and would
feel certain chagrin should it be-
come necessary to appeal to outside
investors for the money and enter
prise needed. Again, labor condi-
tions constitute problem with
which ali manufacturers have to
cope and If workingmen who want
to come and live in Clarksburg can
not obtain the dwelling houses they
and their families must have, a
most serious obstacle will arise in
the industrial development and gen
eraI expansion OF this city and it
will become more difiicult in the flu
ture to bring new factories here.
The opportunity Is here for
Clarksburgers but they need not ex-
peet it to break down their doors
and drag them out of their beds
