Congress Controls
All Water Power

The contention of the Government that
power companies cannot secure rights OF
way across national forests, has been
fully upheld, officers of the Forest Ser
vice declared today, in the opinion Of
the circuit court of appeals in Utah dis
tlict. in the case of the United States
against the Utah Power and Light Com
paay.
The court announces that Congress
has assumed control of the water pow
er question, so far as the public lands
are affected, and that a State in the
exercise of its sovereign authority can
not interfere with or transcend this
power.
Since December 10, 1900, the Utah
Power and Light Company has oper-
atrd its hydrO-electric power works on
public lands I'm Utah, now part of the
Cache national forest.
The Federal Government sought to ell
Join the occupancy of these lands un-
til the company should comply with the
provisions of the act OF May a, 1896.
This act empowered the Government 10
permit the use Of, or rights Of way up
on, public lands and national forests,
for the purpose of generating, manu-
featuring, and distributing electric en-
ergy.

parently Of young man about stx feet
