Some stockmen were inclined to | construe the ruling to mean that; sheep could be grazed on national j I forests without the payment of the | | fixed fees, but on this point Supervis ■ or Mathias advised those who sought j his advice in the matter tnat the rul I ing means that the forestry service can recover from owners of animals i grazing on national forests without | permission only through civil actions and that criminal procedure could not be instituted against such own ers. He further explained that the decision merely sustains the demur rers to the indictments returned against Cazajous, Grimand, and Inda In the Untred States District court at Fresno, Cal. It is believed that through this oper ation tnat he will be relTrved of the causes of recent epileptic fits that he has suffered.

The pile drivers ot the Southern Pacific won the victory recently at tained by the Salt Lake division in overcoming the damage which at first blush promised to tie the line up In Nevada for from two to three weeks, j but which was overcome In fen days, j The pile drivers were on the Salt ! Lake crossing in abundance, and so were materials for their use. The j , management immediately hustled this equipment to the front and washouts were quickly crossed with temporary trestles. These will now be filled in and in a little while the places w’hlch were demonstrated to be subject to flood water damage j will be better protected than ever be | fore, with rock fills about the piling J which has been driven where In most cases dirt fills were relied upon be fore.
