the state by rail during the year 1890,
was a few head in excess of 81 900. The
exact number coming by trail is not
known, but was in the ~neiRhborhoUd OF
II, 900 head, making a total BY rail and
trail of go, 900 head. Under the provis,
ions of the governors proclamation, is,
sued in March, 1890, all cattle were re-
quired to unload at Cheyenne for inspec-
ton. By an arrangement effected with
Montana sanitary authorities, DIR. Allen
was employed by them and placed at
this point as an inspector. while DR..
Maynard acted in the same capacity for
Wyoming

to realize that the stock business was

The report submitted by secretary
Thos. B. Adams was not a very long one,
but it covered the ground very well. In
it he speaks of the necessity of maintain
ing the organization so as to supplement
the work of the state stock board or to
assist it in a financial way when such a
course is necessary. He speaks of the
joint work performed during the past
season. The amount received for dues
during the past year, be says, was 1928.
This would be a email showing under our
old basis of membership but as such mem
bership is now no longer personal (msnY
companies and co-partnerships retaining
their connection with US by the simple

ces, the livestock industry of the state is
very fairly represented al in our ASSOCIATION. >"
The report then goes on to review recent
stock legislation and closes with a tender
of thanks from the retiring secretary for
the uniform courtesy and consideration
with which he was treated by the mem
bers OF the association.

rasscd the railroad company handing the
trafic.
By direction OF the governor the vet
erinariau placed an inspector at Denver
for the rest of the shipping season and
one at Pueblo for nearly a month. AT a
meeting of the sanitary authorities Of
Colorado. Montana and Wyoming held at
Helena on Dec. IL, 1890 it was decided
that from the experiences of the past
three years no system Of inspection here
tlfOre tried could give satisfaction to the
shipper, to the transportation companies
or to the sanitary officers. 1t was there
fore decided that during 1891 all cattle
should be inspected before being loaded,
after winch they would be entitled to go
to any poIut in Colorado. Wyoming or
Montana without further restraint.
To put into operation this system of in-
spectiou will require one inspector on the
Sante Fe railroad for New Mexico and
Arizona and two on the Denver, Texas
& Fort Worth in Texas. To meet the
expense incurred by this arrangement an
inspection fee Of one and one-half cents
per head was agreed upon. Whether
this revenue will be sufficient to meet the
expense can only be determined after the
shipping season has ended.
Last year the veterinarian was without
a contingent fund and as a consequence
the money necessary to pay inspectors
had to be raised in some other way.
The Union Plcifc railroad very kindly
agreed to furnish the funds TO meet the
expenses OF the inspector at Denver and
Pueblo while the inspector at Cheyenne
was paid in certificates issued by the
audito. and cashed by the local banks.
The contingent expenses OF the
veterinarian for the fiscal year ending on
March 81, 1891, we're about 81, 600, while
the appropriation made by the legislature
to meet the same was only 81. $50 leaving
a deficit of about $3.50. The appropriation
for contingent expenses for 1891 is $3.50
or but little more than 500 a month. In
the opinion of your veterinarian this sum
is insufficient to meet the expense which
must necessarily be incurred during the
season of Southern shipments. To
efficiently guard against the introduction
of dangerous Southern cattle requires
that an inspector be stationed at Chey-
emit to overlook the papers Of all cattle
entering the state. In my opinion an
efficient inspector caunot be had and
compensated from the monthly allowance,
500 per month.
Under the agreement with Montana
and Colorado the veterinarian OF Wyom-
ing was designated to appoint and super
wise the work of the inspectors. To do
this properly will necessrtate the ex-
penditure of all, and perhaps more than
all, of the monthly allowance provided by
the legislature.
If your honorable body can suggest
any measures or means by which the
difficulty of the present situation may be
overcome you will have earned the
gratitude of your most o5edient servant.

INSPECTING CATTLE

The veterinarians of the states of W 20
ming, Colorado and and Montana have
made arrangements by which cattle will
be inspected at the points of shipping and
the railroad will bill no cattle through ex-
cept they have n clean bill OF health from
the inspectors, The certificate will be at
tached to the bill of lading so they will
both reach here at the some time.

CATTLE FROM TEXAS.

Some little discussion was INDUCED in
regarding the inspection Of cattle shipped
to Northern Wyoming and Montana from
the Southern country. Mr. Leary, Union
Pacific stock agent, explained that it was
the intention of the Denver, Texas &
Fort Worth railroad to receive no cattle
from Texas, New Mexico or Arizona Ut
less they had a clean bill of health. Mr..
Leary anticipated that probably I25, 900
head of cattle would be shipped north
this summer and the company hoped they
would all come by rail.

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.
The Corporation Counsel Says There II
ONLY One Place.

Yesterday Judge Jacobs addressed a letter to
City Clerk Miller, in which he gives the opinien
that there can be only one place of registration,
namely, the city clerks Office. The opinion is
as follows:
You ask me IL you can legally have repistra
city, besides your own office, to take the regis
tration vi voters, under the law approved March
81, 1890.
While it would be of great advantage TO the
voters to allow what you propose to be DONE
am OF the opinion that the law does not give
you the authority 10 do so, and it would be q
very dangerous proceeding TO attempt il with =
out the plain warrant OF law.
Section OF the act cited above plainly de-
elares that such pol books shall at all times be
kept az the "ffice OF the city clerk" etc
The poll books here referred TO are the DOLL
books required 10 be kept for each ward or vo,-
ing precinct OF said city, all OF which are re-
CURED by positive provisions of the law 20 be
kept at the Office OF the city clerk.
Ii any reason was necessary TO be given out
side OF the positive provisions OF section of TIE
law, The reason can &c found in section II OF the
same statute. That section provides that il any
citizen shall after his first or prior registration
change his residence from one ward or voting
precinct IL the city 10 another ward or voting
precinct IN said city, he shall BE- auu.led 10 reg
istEation IN the last mentioned ward or voting
precinct on application % the clEy clerk TO have
SAID removal noted on the sproper poll book
This removal is effected by the city clerk run
mag line OF red ink across his name in the
war; or precinct book OF his former residence
aud also by noting the transfer in the column
headed Remarks, and the certificate when he
receives must have Endorsed upon il the facts of
said removal.
Now, il is manifest from a moments con-

OF the act, THAI an officer or deputy sent 10 FIRE.
mont, Tor instance, must, III order to 10 his
WORK as required by Law. have ali OF the poll

the city with him in order 10 perform correctly
anu fully his duties
1t would not do 10 risk the mistakes and con.
fusion which might arise bv the appointment
OF an officer WHO took with him no book but the
