acting we'll, and commission men
believe it will get a satisfactory
stride Immediately after the New
Year. the immense shortage in
Kansas this winter is going to
cut into receipts at Kansas City
to very great extent the first
six months Of 1914, and buyers
here will have to compete sharp
" to fill their orders, with the
resultant remainitive prices for
sellers. 1t is an open secret
that killers here will pay better
prices this winter than ordinar-
lily, in an effort to divert live
stock from other markets.
Sheep and lambs are so cents
lower this week, with prime
lambs worth around $7.60. Re-
ceiptS since Wednesday have
been light, and there is a light
supply in sight for next week
here. A quick return to an So
basis for best lambs would not
be any surprise. Hay fed lambs
from Utah, beet pulp lambs from
Fl Collins, and pea fed lambs
from Monte Vista, with the
usual variety of natives and local
fed Westerns have all been re-
CURED to make up the modest
total Of this weeks run.

Federal Power is SUI
preme on Federal Lands

AHO COIICSIIClOIl OI CIl0 govern
ment that power companies can
not secure rights of way across
national forests without comply
ing with the regulations of the
secretary of agriculture has been
completely sustained, according
to the officers of the forest service
by the opinion of.the circuit court
of appeals filed on November IA
in the case of the United States
versus the Utah Power and Light
Company.
In it's decision, the court an
nounces that congress has assum-
ed complete control of the.water-
power question, so far as the pub
lie lands are affected, and that a
state in the exercise of it's sove-
reign authority cannot interfere
with or transcend this constitu-
tional power of congress.
Since December Is, 1900, the
Utah Power and Light Company
has operated it's hydro-electric
power works on certain public
lands in the state of Utah, now
forming a part of the Cache nat
ional forest. The federal govern
ment sought to enjoin the occu-
pancy of these lands until the
company should comply with the
provisions of the Act of May IA,
1896. This act empowered the
government to permit the use of,
or rights of way upon, public lands
and national forests, for the pur-
pose of generating, manufacture
ing, and distributing electric en-
ergy. The power company, on
the other hand, alleged that it's
rights were secured and protect
ed by the Act of July %, 1866,
now Section 2339 of the Revised
Statutes. The decision of the
court is that the later act repeals
that of 1866. insofar as it related
to the subject of electric power
and the company must acquire
it's rights of way in accordance
with the provisions of the later
act.
1t was contended by the COM
pany that it was protected in it's
tenure by the laws of the state of
Utah. On this point the court
says, "The proposition that abso-
lutte and perpetual rights in the
public lands may be acquired for
private gain by mere appropria-
ton, without purchase or compen-
sation, and the exercise of a state
sovereignty which transcends the
constitutional power of the con-
gress, is a somewhat startling
one."
Shorn of it's legal phraseology,
the courts decision may be sum-
med up as follows: That the con-
stitution provides that congress
has the power to dispose of and
regulate the use of the territory
belonging to the United States,
and that the people of Utah, in
forming their constitution and
state government, forever dis
claimed all right and title to the
public lands within their state un-
til these have been disposed of by
the government. The terms of
this provision were later made a
part of the constitution of the
state of Utah, and the federal
government, therefore, was Sc
cured in the full control of the
public lands within the state, not
only by the federal constitution
but by that of the state itself.
