Meeting Of Sheep Men.

The late Legislature having passed
two laws affecting the sheep industry
of the State, the sheepmen of Hum
boldt county have issued call for
meeting of the wool. growers of Ne
vada to be held on the afternoon OF
April LIST for the purpose of consider
ing matters of vital importance to all
persons Interested in the sheep in
dustry.
They suggest to the Commissioners
Of each county that they do not ap-
point sheep inspectors until after the
men interested have had tune to de-
liberate and express their wishes rel
alive to the same.
The INDEPENDENT thinks that the
suggestion of the Humboldt county
sheep men is good one and that the
appointment Of an inspector in this
county at least, should be deferred, il
made at all, until the men whose
business is affected by the appoint
ment have had time to consult and
settle upon a man for the place.

Montana silver miners conceived
the idea OF making statue of "Jus-
tice" in solid silver. Adah Rehau, the
actress, was selected ms the model from
among others noted for the beauty of
their faces and the symmetry OF their
hubs. A plaster model OF the lady
was made by Sculptor Park, and a
mold was made from the model to re-
celve I'll molten metal. Last Satur-
day the statue was successfully cast
in Chicago IN the presence of num-
Der Of distinguished personages.
Sixteen hundred pounds of sterling
silver was used and the cost of the
statue is given as $4,000. The heie ut
OF the statue is five feet, ten inch es,
and it will stand upon silver globe
two feet In diameter. 1t is an exact
reproduction Of the shape and feat
ures of Miss Rehan and it is said to
be thing Of beauty. It will be
placed in Jackson Park, at Chicago,
during the Worlds Fair aud will not
only be great advertisement for
Montana, but for the actress Us we'll,
as nearly everybody who has an op-
portunity will have a desire to see
the lady whose form and features are
reproduced in solid silver.-Reno
