United States v. Beaver River, Power Co., Fillmore National Forest. 



In the above cases involving occupancy trespass, the Supreme Court, 

 on March 19 (243 U. S., 389), held that the Act of 1866 is superseded 

 by the Act of February 15, 1901 (31 Stat., 790), so far as the de 

 velopment of hydroelectric power is concerned, and that rights of way 

 over Government lands for that purpose may be acquired only under 

 the latter statute. It also holds that State laws, including those re- 

 lating to the exercise of eminent domain, have no application to lands 

 of the United States, and establishes the right of the Secretary of 

 Agriculture to make regulations concerning the use of National Forest 

 land for power purposes.
