SAYS FEDERAL POWER IS
M'l'RKMK ON FEDERAL LANDS.
Tbe contention of the Oovernment
that power companies can not secure
rights of way across National forests
without complying with the rerula
tlons of the Secretary of Agriculture
has been completely sustained, ac
cording to the officers of the forest
service, by tba opinion of the Circuit
Court of Appeals, filed on November
14, in the case of the United Statu
versus tbe Utah Power and Light
company.
In Its decision the court announces
that Congress has assumed complete
control of the water-power question
so far as the public landa are affect
ed, and that a state in tbe exercise of
Its sovereign authority can not Inter
fere with or transcend this constitu
tional power of Congress.
Since December IB, 1900, the Utah
Power and Light Company bas oper
ated Its hydro-electric power works
on certain public lands In the state
of Utah, now forming a part of tbe
cache National forest. Tbe Federal
Oovernment sought to enjoin tbe oc
cupancy of these lands until the com
pany should comply with the provi
sions of the Act of May 14, 18H6.
This act empowered the Oovernment
to permit the use of, or rights of way
upon, public lands and National for
ests, for tbe purpose of generating,
manufacturing, and distributing elec
tric energy. The power company, on
the other hand, alleged that Its
rights were secured snd protected by
tbe act of July 26, 1868, 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 power anu
that the company must acquire Its

right of way U accord.net with tat
provisions of tba later act.
8 born of Ita legal phraseology, the
court's decision may be mmmed up
aa follows: That the constitution pro
vides that Congress hati the pcer
to dispose of and regulate the use of
territory belonging to the I'niled
States, and that the people o' I'tuh.
In forming their roimtitutlun and
state government, forever dlM-lainied
all right and title to the puiiuc lanua
within their state until thw have
been dlauoaed of by the Government.
The terms of this proviBion -re later
made a part of the constitution o: me
state of I'Uh, and the Federal Gov
ernment, therefore, waB ai-'ired in
the full control of the puMIc lands
within the state, not only by the Fed
eral constitution and by that of the
state Itself.

SECRET OF GOOD BREAD.
Flour Should B Aged In a Dry, Wall
VontilaUd Placa.
Here Is a secret t tin t many house
wives do not know and even some pro
fessional bakers do not understand.
Clour should be kept lu n dry, well
ventilated place. Thu temperature
should be about 70.
To muke good breud flour should be
aged -that la. It ahould be kept dry
and preferably where the air run reach
It. Some persons - warm a sin k uf
flour and think that tills will dry anil
age It. but aucb treatment does not
reach tbe middle of the Hour.
Experiments show that when flour la
aged properly there la u allcht low of
moisture, but the flour will nliiorli
more water. In one test a freshly
ground sack of Hour after sixty days
lost a little over oue pound In weight,
but It gained ao much in absorption
thnt it made a gain of several pouuda
In weight of dough over the original
I weight The gluten, which la the life
I of the flour, also becomes more elastic.
snd the flour growa whiter.
There Is no better way for the house
keeper than to keep a barrel or nck of
Hour where It will be dry and exHised
to the air and also to keep a quiititity
of flour alfted mid ready for nae. New

THE CHRISTMAS WAITS. j
In Englsnd tbe Christmas waits, 04
bands of singers, who may be heard
ererywbere on Christmas ere art
tbe aurvlral of a very ancient custom
In their origin, which dates back tx.
the fourteenth or fifteenth century, the
waits were probably musics! watch
men who were required to giro praetl
cal evidence of their vigilance by play
lng on the hautboy or tbe flageolet at
stated Intervals during the night.
In modern times tbe Christmas waits
are unorganized bands of men and
boys wbo on Christmas eve parade the
streets of towns and villages In Eng
land, singing carols and accompanying
themselves on slmnje wind Instruments
for a gratuity from the bouses In front
of which they stop.
