How later courts describe this case

  • Hunting on the waters in park could significantly interfere with use of park and the purpose for which it was established so federal regulation prohibiting such hunting constituted “needful prescriptions” which overrode state law permitting such hunting
  • under Property Clause, Congress can regulate waters beyond territorial limits of United States’ actual ownership
  • dismissal for failure to appear for a deposition
