THE SHEEP LICENSE LAW.
Utah Sheepmen Taking Their
Elocks From Novaua.

The Salt Lake Herald says by the
imposition of special tax of five cents
per head on all sheep ranged within
its borders the State of Nevada has
lost larger number of heavy focks
that have for years ranged in the east
ern part of the State. Most of these
sheep are owned by Utah growers and
in the future they will be ranged in
N orthwestern Utah and Southern
Idaho. The last Legislature of Ne
vada made the special levy named and
the shespmen claim it was a trick of
the cattle owners to drive the focks
out of the State. It is certainly ac-
complished that end. The movement
has already commenced in earnest and
before it ends Nevada will be minus .
large number of sheep which have
heretofore been regularly taxed for
the raising of State revenue.

Nor so HARD AS IT SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent something
trikes most people As being very difficult
this delusion the Company wishes to dispel.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount Of money and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. Al
most everybody, at some time or another,
ccnceiyes an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to HIM fortune. Unfor-
tunatey such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way Of improving upon, and 1t Is these kind
of Inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author.
