Mr.. Organs council file authorizing

On the call of the roll Mr.. Rummel,

Til MAVERICK AGAIN.
Consideration of Mr.. Kuykendalls bill
for an act creating a territorial live stock
commission, defining the duties and
powers Of the body and regulating the
cattle business generally, had been fixed
upon as the special order of business for
the opening hour yesterday afternoon,
preparations for its discussion had been
carefully made by a majority of the mem
bers, more especially perhaps by those
who have opposed the measure since its
introduction. Primarily there was slight
objection to another reading of the bill in
full, but this was waived, and the chief
clerk proceeded to read the document Sec
ton by section.
The first amendment was offered by
Mr.. Scrivner, of Sweetwater county, who
took the occasion to make his maiden
speech. He proposed that in order to be
eligible to membership to the live stock
commission the nominee should be a resi-
lonE &c a., t,.,EoN, E-a ,aor, rr,o. %,
acting on the board. This amendment
was not seconded, and consequently did
not come before the house.
Mr.. Grant, Albany county, suggested
an amendment to an amendment. When
the bill was in the hands OF the commit
tee of the whole the section creating the
live stock commission was altered SO as to
send a member of the body from each
county instead of appointing one for each
county. The gentleman advanced as a
reason for his action the fact that in the
event of the appointment of a commits
sioner from each county those represent
ing the subdivisions remote from the
capital could not attend the meetings of
the board, as no appropriation for the
payment of their expenses was made.
Mr.. Summers vigorously objected. In
that instance the commission would sim
ply supersede the executive committee of
the Stock Association. He protested
against the stockgrowers of Uinta county
being represented on the board by a
Cheyenne mar or other delegate not a
resident of the section for which he would
be expected to act.
MI. Adams moved that the bill be
made to read ''for each county" instead
Of from each" in the matter of repre-
sentation on the live stock commission.
Carried, with four votes in the negative.
Mr.. Summers moved to strike out that
portion of the bill providing hat only
residents of a round up district may be
members of a round up commission.
Lost by a vote of IL to s. The gentleman
from Uinta was piqued at the result, and
expressed himself quite freely, This ex-
action was even more unjust than the pro-
vision in relation to the selection of men,
bers of the live stock board. He would
submit to the passage of the bill, but
earnestly protested against its adoption.
Authorizing the formation OF the board
without fair representation was an out
rage.
Mr.. Weaver assured the objector that
Uinta county was free to have one of her
citizens selected as a member OF the COM
mission.
Another amendment presented by Mr..
Summers stipulated that roundup fore
men should receive So per day during the
time they were employed, instead Of be-
ing restricted TO a maximum of $3.50 for
the seasons work. Lost.
Mr.. Scrivner facetiously suggested that
all mavericks should be inspected by the
territorial veterinarian prior to their sale.
A commotion was raised by the present
alton of Mr.. Grants amendment chang
ing the place of the sale of mavericks
from the capitol building at Cheyenne to
the various county seats of the territory.
Mr.. Cummock rose for information.
lie wanted to know if this plan was prac-
teal.
Mr.. Weaver responded that under the
conditions sought to be imposed the sale
OF mavericks would be impossible.
Mr.. Summers mildly asserted that
nothing was impossible, but was nom
committal on this particular amendment.
Mr.. Summers desired enlightenment as
to the disposition of mavericks after the
orphans had been sold.
They will be branded with the mark
Of the purchaser and turned loose on the
range" explained Mr.. Adams.
Mr.. Kuykendall stated that the owner
of the animals would doubtlessly look after
his property.
Mr.. Grants amendment was voted
down.
Mr.. Summers at this juncture presented
his amendment empowering roundup
