Upheld by Supreme Court.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-The United States Su-
preme Court upheld the action of for
mer President Taft in. withdra wing
from public entry nearly 100000
acres of oil land comprised in the pub
lie domain in California, Wyoming and
other western states. Three justices
dissented from the opinion.
The suit was brought by the Mid
west Oil Company and associated com
panies. which operate in the Salt
Creek fields in Wyoming.
The companies questioned the right
of the President to withdraw these
lands before he had been specifically
authorized by Congress to do so.
1t is estimated that the value of the
oil deposits in the land involved in the
withdrawal order is more than $4,000
100000, being practically all the un-
appropriated known oil land on the
government domain.
Officers of the Midwest Oil Com
pany, whose headquarters are in Den
yer, said that the decision affects but
100 acres of the land claimed by the
company.

ARE MAKING MOLASSES.

New Augusta, Miss, Nov 19.-The
farmers in this vicinity are busy with
molasses making. The cane crop was
short this year, but even with this
shortage there will be more syrup
made than can be marketed profit
ably.
One young farmer of this county
has introduced a unique amusement
that will be both profitable and pleas
ure giving. At his cane mill, he will
have an enormous candy making for
the neighborhood, and will offer a
prize for person finding the greatest
number of uses for eyrup and will
have a practical illustration of these
uses.
With the possible exception of pO-
tatoes, crops throughout this section
are not as good us usual. Though it
is noticeable how very large the pota-
toes of this years crop have grown
to be. A farmer brought in load of
potatoes recently, many of which
weighed from five to seven pounds.
