T)ie Denver Xews says of the opin
ion of Justice Brewer on the nation
a reclamation act and the authority
of the government to take charge of
and reclaim the arid land of the
country:
The opinion of the supreme court
of the I'nlted Plates In the Kansas
Colorado water suit Is attracting
widespread attention In the west, be
cauie of Its hearing upon the public
land:: (juration which !s to be discuss
ed at the convention to be held In
Denver June 18, 19 and 20. The
whole public lands question hinges
upon the constitutional right of the
general government In the control and
use of these lands within the state.
While Judge Brewer's opinion In
the water suit advances no new defi
nitions regarding 'the constitution. It
reiterates a number of Important de
cisions cf the court heretofore hand
ed down and discusses the theory of
the constitution at some lengthy
The court puts especial emphasis
upon the fact thai this Is - govern
ment of enumerated povets. One of
the powers that Is not posscssel by
the national government Is that of
mverelgnty within a Mate. Tin. na-tli-inl
governn-.ent has no p.wer J
enatt a law tho.t attempts to override
a law madu by the Ktute In the le

This pr.lnt Is of the utmot Import

western tates.
The withdrawal of all timber lands

claimed, Is not authorized by any
clause of the constitution.
As Is known, the government "ins
made a rule with the firee of law,
that cuttle or horses strnylnff vpon
nnfenred reserve Innds of the govern
ment constitutes trespass.
Under this order, the federal gov
ernment has assunvd local toverelgn
tr upon Its reserved lands within the
state without the consent of the state
by making Inws providing for the
government of Citizens of the state
upon such lands and authorising of
ficers of the United Flutes to make
arrests for the violation of such laws
and to try persons so nrrested In the

I rye-Hriihn Will Fight Tax Suit.
The suit In tha superior court re
sulting from the attempt of the coun
jy authorities to -make Frye & Bruhn,
the big meat firm of the state, pay
taxes on 170,000 worth of livestock
kept In this city last year, promises
some Interesting developments. The
papers filed In the superior court by
the prosecuting attorney allege that
the heads of the firm conspired to
gether to defraud Yakima county and
when this was brought to the atten
tion of C. H. Frye In Seattle, he be
came very Indignant
"If those Yakima people have any
tax money coming from us, they will
get It," said Millionaire Frye. "The
fact is, they aretry.lng to sandbag us,
and we do not propose to stand for
It. Frye A Bruhn do not and have
rut owned any cattle In Yakima
county. Frye & Bruhn own cattle
here and pay all their taxes here. We
live in Seattle and all our goods are
assessed In King county. We do not
expect to pay twice on the same
stock."
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Tay
lor says that he has proof that the
firm did own cattle In this county
notwithstanding the above statement
by Mr. Frye. lie also says that In
liilrics of ihe King county authorities
fall to show that the firm which "lives
In Seattle and pays all Its taxes
there," has paid one cent of taxi's
upon the sheep and cattle owned by
't. in fact, Mr. Taylor hints that Mi.
Mrve Is nutting up a very stiff bluff.
It Is learned that the alleged trust
Is believed to have pursued a regular
course of tax-dodging In almost every
county In the slate. The accusation
that the Yakima county authorities
are trying to "sandbag" the firm Is
absurd on the face of It. The cattle
and shiop were here and the taxis
uprn l'-"i were payable. Frye ft
t'.iiilin 'p put up a bond for $ IrtOU
Willi tile xiiperlor court so that the
county Is well ptotected In the event
of the court deciding In Its favor, the
amount of taxes claimed being I1DS7.

Manager Extcs Maintains a Better
Showing Could Have Been Made
With the Club's Former I.lnc-up.
In the ball gamo yesterday between
the Boosters and Oldtlmers the for
mer won by a score of 12 to 4. In
the first four Linings four runs were
made by the first learn men and the
game was their throughout. Of the
scores made by the Oldtlmers three

one In the seventh. But seven Innings
were played and the Boosters did not
go to the bat for their last half of
that Inning.
For the Boosters the line-up was
as announced Saturday excepting
that Bull played second and Williams
right field. Otto Turner and Bryson
caught for tha Old timers, while Lor-
Imer was In the box all during the
game. Houchln played second for
the Oldtlmers. Graves acted as um
pire.
While the game yesterday was not
as close as the one a few weeks ago.
nevertheless the first team was given
a good workout, and the Oldtlmers
received much praise for their Im
promptu playing. The defeat was
taken gracefully by Manager Estes
and the players cn the losing team,
though they declare they would have
made a better showing had they been
able to use their former line-up.
I.orlmer was once more the star of
the team.

One of the largest land deals that
was ever made In eastern Washing
ton was closed here within the last
week, says the Yakima Republic.
Coffin Brothers of this city, have sold
their immense land holdings on the
Columbia river, consisting of 58,000
acres of raw land, to a Spokajic tyn
dlcate, headed by the Normon Broth
ers, the well known hotel men, who
yesterday leased the Yakima hotel
from Mrs. N. 8. Johnson.
The negotiations have been under
way since the 18th of this month, but
the final papers were only executed
wlthlr? the last few days. The price
has not yet been made public, but
that the deal has gone through Is un
deniably true for It was confirmed
this morning by Stanley Coffin, w.'.io
has had the management of the Cof
fin Brothers' lands under his direct
supervision.
From an unofficial source It has
been leained thatthe land was sold
at a pioflt of J 100,000 to the Coffin
Brothers.
