Twin be seen from this statement
that there is still a considerable bal
ance to the credit Of the association
with which 20 commence the present
year, Notwithstanding the heavy ex-
penses incurred in issuing our brand
book. These brand books are Of
course responsible 70 some extent for
the large item of postage, which is,
however, smaller than last year.
INSPECTION WORK.
As you are aware, the association
undertakes very little 10 the way Of
employment of inspectors and detec-
tives, as such work is controlled and
most efficiently conducted by the
board of stock commissioners for this
state. As they will present their re-
port for the past year to the governor
Of the state and to the public, 1 shall
not comment thereon, but leave their
excellent report and fine showing to
speak for itself.
Agreeably with the sentiment ex-
pressed at our last meeting, an under
standing was arrived at between our
selves and the North Dakota West
Missouri StOckgrowers Association,
whereby the members of that orga-
nization who did any shipping should
DAY US three>fourths of mill on the
assessed valuation of their stock and
in return reeeive the benefits Of our
inspection at eastern points, no revenue
has been derived from this source, for
the simple reason that none of their
members did any shipping last season
that came unper the notice Of our IN
spectOrs, and it appears that the
heavy shippers in that locality do not
belong TO the association in question,
IL looks as though we would have to
deal With them individually, and
this is matter either for your con-
sideration or that of the bUard of stock
commissioners.
VETERINARY SURGEON OF MONTANA.
Our state veterinary surgeon, DR..
Holloway during the past year has not
ceased in his efforts to obtain a con-
ditiun Of health among our live stock
and how fer he has succeeded most of
you are aware. You will read with
interest his annual report. which
will be pubhhed shortly, and which
requires no comment on my part.

other roads, have sfforded you extra
