The recent decision of the United States Supreme Court in the cast- 

 of Chapman & Dewey Lumber Company vs. the St. Francis levee board, 

 to (he effect that the lumber company had no title to some 15.000 acres 

 of land in Poinsett and Craighead counties, Arkansas, is regarded as of 

 much importance because of its bearing on thQ question of title to about 

 125,000 acres of land similarly situated in eastern Arkansas, on the 

 greater portion of which are standing large forests. 



Arguments were heard last week by Judge Jacob Trieber of the United 

 States District Court at Little Rock iij the case of the United States vs. 

 Lee Wilson & Co., which is one of the many suits recently instituted by 

 t!ie government to quit title iu itself to the so-called "sunk lands" iu 

 eastern Arkansas. The government was represented at this hearing by 

 Assistant .\ttoruey General Willis N. Mills of W.ishington. D. C. ; J. A. 

 Tellier, also special assistant to the attorney general of Little Rock, and' 

 W. n. Martin. United States district attorney for the eastern District of 

 Arkansas. The lumber company was represented by Coleman & Lewis., 

 attorneys, of Little Rock, and Judge Allen Hughes of Memphis, Tenn. 

 It is expected that .Judge Trieber will render a decision in the case 

 within the next few days. 



Tills case will set a precedent for the other cases involving the title to 

 all the lands similarly situated, and when it is reached by the United 

 States Supreme Court, will virtually determine the question raised in 

 ;.ll these various suits. The particular case now under consideration 

 involves the title to some 900 acres of land in Mississippi county, .\rkansas.
