WIPE THEM ALL OUT.
MI. Kellogg, the meek aud %iusiuuat
ing granger from Crook county. filed the
camp of the cattle interest delegates with
CONSERVATION yesterday morning by pre-
senting a bill for the repeal of the law Of
1888 creating a board of live stock com
m~issioners. At first blush the PROPOSE
ton seemed appalling to the opposition,
but in the course of the day several ex
pressed themselves as willing to return to
original practices, until the assembly of
1891, at least. A number Of heavy
owners have declared that they will cease
contributing for the enforcement of the
present law, and the appropriation re.
quired by the Adams bill of this session
seems to the legislators unreasonably
large. The committee of the whole re-
ported favorably on the kellogg repeating
bill. Mr.. Bowie was chairman.
SALARIES AGAIN.
The house standing committee recon-
mended the passage of the council file
fixing the salaries and prescribing the
compensation of county officers other than
the sheriff and clerk.
This measure came up for consideration
in the afternoon, but was recommitted
for printing.

tention to-day.
