Dry Cet.'theJBest Good Wood The government has juxt won its sixth Important case ooncernlntr the validity of the regulations made by the secretary of agriculture to control grazing in the national forests. In the United States court at Denver, Colorado, Judge Robert E. Lewis ha overruled the demurrer of Fred Light a wealthy stockman of Pitkin county, Colorado, which contended that the grazing regulations In force on the na tional forcHts are unconstitutional. The whole case revolved around tho contention by some Colorado stock- men that the government is no more man a private land owner in the mat ter of state fence laws, a number of states have fence laws which mok it impossible for a private person to collect lees or damages from owners of stock which stray UDon his land unless the land is fenced. The nation al forests are not fenced and on thl me stocKmen based their refusal to pay grazing fees. A friendly suit to test the regula Hons of the secretary of agriculture prohibiting the drifting of stock up on me forest. At the public lands con ventlon held In Denver last June the forest officers and representatives of the Colorado Cattle and Horse Grow crs association, of which Mr. Light is a member, agreed to a friendly suit The case Is practically the same as the ramous Shannon case In Montana, I .1. i.t. i ... wnun me grazing regulations were also upheld. The decision of Judge Hunt In this Montana case was affirmed by the l nlted States court of Appeals at th ninth circuit Bitting at San Francisco on Februry 3, this year. That dec! sion stated without quallflcaton that the grazing regulations ore reasonable and valid and that the state land law do not apply to the national forests and that therefore, the drifting of siock upon the forests in violation of the regulations is trespassing, not- withstanding the state law. The Light decision simply affirm ed the same principle in another Jur isaictmn. Tne attorneys for Mr. Light under the agreements made before the trial, are bound not to dispute the fads, but will probably appeal the le gal questions for decision by the clr euit court or appeals at St. Louis rcventunlly It will be carrned up to the supreme court. The other suits attacking the graz mg resuiaiiona won Dy the govern ment are the following cases: The Inlted States versus Shannon.

In response tp requests by leading managers and theatrical circuits west of the Mississippi, George H. Bren nan, president of the Southern Amuse: ment company, has decided to post pone until the summer of 1909 the three years trip around the world, planned for Thomas Dixon, Jr's cele brated drama, "The Clansman." Be ginning early next September the original "Clansman" company will start from New York city on a tour of the Pacific const and return, visiting only tho most Important cities. 'The Clansman" management found it no slight task to cancel the exten- s've arrangements made for the visits of the play to tho other English speak- li g countries. In some instances con tracts had already been signed with Lngllsh and Australian managers who had to be paid a heavy bonus for re leasing "The Clansman" from its 1908-9 bookings. The difficulties have all been smoothed out, however, and no obstacle remains In the way of a western American tour which will doubtless duplicate "The Clans man's" thoroughly extraordinary suc cess east, north and south. As a play which has been witnessed by more n.n 3,000,000 people and which strikingly sets forth the Anglo Saxon slogan of white supremacy over the black, brown and yellow races, 'The Clansman" will present a pe culiar fascination to Pacific coast play-goers. Its performance In this city will constitute perhaps the chief event of the dramatic season. Prac tically the same company and magni ficent scenic production will be brought here that won the favor of New York., Chicago and other large eastern cities. 42 DOUBLE LENGTH R. R.

They come to the dance with, their faces painted and wearing their finest clothing and trinkets. It Is a "full dress" affair. Each dny of the "green-corn" cele bration, the dancing begins at 10 'clock In the morning and lasts un til about midnight. At Intervals of from two to five hours the dancers have an Intermission of about 30 min- tes, which s spent In feasting on rice. chicken, possum and do meat and moking the "pipe of peace." Sometimes the Indians will dance a wild frenzy for 10 hours without once going out of the circle. .n me wnues. only the "squaw men, who took an oath of allegiance to the tribe when they married their ndlan wives, are permitted If they are painted and dressed in the Indian costume. There Is more or less love-maklnir ai an or tne dances, but there are more betrothals at the "green corn aance man at any other. Possibly this Is true because It comes In the "i"Bi iirii me inaian s neart. as en as the white man's, "liehtiv nm iq uiouffnis or love." Tills celebra tion is not regarded as a success by the younger members of the tribe unless it is followed in three or four months oy seveTai weddings. In ager for the Northern Pacific at Ta coma, who said that no one could tell what a reasonable rate was u&less they knew the cost of construction, the value of rolling stock and, In fact, the value of all the property with the cost of operation, none of which, he said, he knew. M. J. Costello, assistant traffic manager of the Great Northern, like Mr. Blakley, said that In order to know the reasonableness of a rate he must be acquainted with these facts, of which he, also, was ignorant. This testimony closed the forenoon session. MONTANA TRACK MEET. RATE IS EXTORTIONATE. Rltzvlllo nmncrs Ciiih lhyl to Pay $2.10 Per Ton on Wheat to Taconw. A special from Rltzvllle, Wash., says of the grain rates from there to Tacoma: That the Northern Pacific railroad nets $2.10 per ton on wheat shipped from Rltzvllle to Tacoma, and that tho Great Northern nets an equal amount on wheat shipped from Odessa to Tacoma, was one of the surprising bits of evidence brought out at the session of the state railroad commis sion which opened In Rltzvllle this morning. These figures were given during the testimony of O. O. Calderhead, secre tary of tho commission, and a man well versed In railroad matters. The hearing Is on a complaint filed and represented by W. It. Cunningham, sr., acting, It Is said, for the farmers of this district, In which he alleges that the freight rates on Wheat to tide water are excessive trom eastern Washington. . J, A. Alexander, assistant attorney general, and W. H. Ludden, of Spo kane, represent Mr. Cunningham. The Great Northern Is represented by L. C. Gllman, of Seattle, and the North ern Pacific by Judge R. S.
