The board of stock commissioners has
sent the following circular letter to the
stockmen of the territory: "a resolution
was passed at meeting of the board of
stock commissioners, held ut Miles City,
April 10th, last, directing the secretary to
send circular letter to the owner Of each
recorded brand in the territory of Mon
tana, asking them if they We're the owners
of brands they did not use, and which
they were willing to have cancelled upon
the records. This is done for the purpose
of getting rid of the very large number
of dead or unused brands which are upon
the records. The large number of brands
upon record, some $500, renders it ex-
tremely difficult for anyone to now record
o brand without coming in conflict with
some Of those previously recorded. Please
answer at your earliest convenience, de-
scribing the brand or brands which YOU
no longer use and which you are willing
to have cancelled"
