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. Mon
tana; the United States versus Bale,
south Dakota; the United States ver
sus Degulrro. Northern California; the

"Tlio Clansman's". World Record Trip
i-OKtMncd so That the Great West
Can See Noted Piny.
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.

At the commencement of the "Green
corn" dance the Indians gather from
all parts of the reservation at the
dance house, a large barn-like build
ing with a dirt floor, hnrdened and
worn smooih from much tramping.
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.

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

more betrothals at the "green corn

this Is true because It comes In the

tion is not regarded as a success by the
younger members of the tribe unless
it is followed in three or four months

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.

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. Grosscup,
of Tacoma.
