There would be no one to love her aud

her away with still stranger herd
that some bad ugly range steer might
gore her with his wide spreading
horns or that wild beasts Of prey
might kill her aud devour her. Fol

win This BE Answered.

SHEEP CAMP, NEAR BLAcKFooT,
Ina, Oct l5.-I am an humble citi-
zen Of Idaho and unfortunately a
sheep man, but such being my fate
must not complain. sometimes
read your valuable paper. You seem,
Mr.. Editor, TO be great friend of the
railway company. Why not have
something to say about US poor sheep
men?
Allow me to call your attention TO
the enclosed clippings Number one
is your notice of the Montana valua-
tion of railways. Numbers two and
three show actual sales of Idaho and
Montana sheep Now as YOU have
expressed desire to see exact jus
tice done alike to all, will you please
explain through your valuable col
umns why sheep are worth so much
more than railroads. Win you please
explain which is the nearest to actual
value, sheep at 50 30 per head or rail
ways at So, 900 per mile? Why could
not us sheep men down here been
called branch sheep men? Win you
please have our state equalizers ex-
plain this? The same argument also
applies to cattle and other classes of
property. Surely, Mr.. Editor it can.
not all be main line, can it? Who
made Idaho? The settlers who own
the land, sheep and cattle, the equali-
zers, or the railway corporations?
The only tenable argument you can
offer ON behalf Of the equalizers is
that sheep and cattlemen do not al.
ways give in to the assessors anything
like actual numbers. Does not the
same thing apply TO all the miles OF
sldings and other property that your
pets the railroad companies do not
give?
Again IN quoting the valuations OF
Montana and Iowa us an example oI
the righteous justice as applied by
our equalizers to railroad companies
why don't you explain to us poor fel
lows that the valuation of the states
Of Montana and Iowa are so large
that it is not necessary to value it al
anything like what Idaho must-alst
does not our law say that any change:
must be done by counties and by fixec
percentage on each class of property
And If SO, and the Union Pacific rail
road is branch, are not the shee,
and cattle over here branch also
Now, please, Mr.. Editor help me on
on this and Qblige. Respectfully,
! Il. N. JOHNSON.

Is made Of you that you will advise

Il i merely privilege granted to

mrnl thereon OF improvement thereof
under and hy virtue OF the various
laws relating To the disposal OF the

| Herewith.
A permit to cut timber does not in
any sense withdraw the land covered
thereby from settlement or entry by a
qualified party, and the Interference
by one holding such permit with
the peaceful possession and occupa
lion of settler who goes upon the

the permit, will be deemed sufficient
