So thooughly sat- Isned was the Northwestern railroad come years aeo with the merits of this simple piece of machinery that they undertook to supply farmers with the material for making them along a long stretch of their road In the west.

One of the sharp issues of the case was centered upon this point. So widespread was the Interest in the case and so vital the question involved that the state of Colorado Itself threw Itself Into the contest. Attorney General Barnett au thorized to assist Light in fighting the federal government. He did so. The attorney general emphasized the argument before the supreme court that no provision of the con stitution empowered the federal government to "conserve the national resources," by providing for a con tinuing timber supply, regulating the flow of streams and preserving power sites from being monopolized.

He urged that the withdrawal of such large tracts of land, said to be one-fifth of the entire area of Colorado, was the denial of equality with the older states which had been allowed to exercise dominion over all the territory within their boundaries.

The legal battle against forest reserves of tue west In particular, and federal conservation of natural resources In general, was lost today In the supreme court of the United States. That tribunal not only upheld the constitutionality of the establlshent of reserves for national and public purposes, but settled once for all that the federal government and not the states, may say how the reserves Khali be used. The immediate results of the decision are that Fred l.lKht, the Colorado cattleman, will remain enjoined from allowing his cattle to graze on the Holy Cross forest reservation in Colorado and that certain California sheepmen must answer to an Indictment charging them with grazing upon the Sierra forest reserve without a permit. The basic principle upon which the decision was rendered was that the "nation is an owner and has made congress Its principal agent to dispose of its property." The constitutionality of the vast fores reservations of the west and the validity of the modern conservation policy, were raised early In this case in the circuit court of the United States for the district of Colorado. The United States government had brought suit to enjoin Fred Light, a prominent Colorado cattle man, from causing or permitting his cat tle to trespass upon the Holy Cross forest reserve in Colorado.

A stub born contest arose and among the other defenses put forth by Light, was the one that the formation of the Holy Cross reserve -without the consent of the state of Colorado was unconstitutional. As the other vast reserves In the west had been formed by a similar process of federal action in withdrawing public land from entry, the argument applied by analogy to them. The Injunction was granted, and an appeal taken to the supreme court of the United Statet. Throughout the contest the federal government claimed that when Light turned his cattle onto his ranch adjoining the forest reserve, they followed well defined cattle trails, in order to get grass and water, directly to the reserve where there existed a superior grass and water supply. Such a practice, the government con tended, was tantamount in Licht driving the cattle into the reserve.

The defense met the government with several arguments. In the first place. It was pointed out that the reserve had not been fenced by the government, and a Colorado law provided that no person should recover damages for trespass unless the land in question was fenced. Therefore Light pointed to this law as barring the government from relief. The government retorted that the fence law applied only to individuals, and not to the state of Colorado or to law other end.
