rlust Pay License.

The sheep license law in Nevada
has recently been declared constitu-
tional by the Supreme Court of that
State, and Idaho and adjoining States
to Nevada will soon be overrun with
sheep from that State in order to es-
cape the tax. Last fall case was
tried in the district court of Elko
county, in which the constltutionality
OF the above law was challenged ard
In which the point was also made that
lessee of the land was not such an
owner, within the meaning of the stat
ute, as would exempt him from pay
ment of the license. The District
Court held the law to be constitutional
and that lease of the requisite num~
Der of acres of land, required by the
statute, excused the lessee from pay
ment of the license. The case was
appealed to the Supreme Court, and
a decision has been handed down al
firming the judgment of the lower
court on all points. The opinion is
concurred in by all the judges.
Under this act every person engaged
in the business of owning, raising,
grazing, herding or pasturing sheep,
unless such person is the owner and
holder of land in the State Of Nevada
equal to one acre for each two sheep,
is required to pay license, graduated
in amount according to the number of
sheep SO owned, etc. Failure to pro-
cure the license is declared to be
misdemeanor, punishable by fine or
imprisonment.
The law will undoubtedly be en-
forced, and rowing sheep men will be
compelled either to purchase land,
pay a license or remove from the
State.

Mass rleeting at Soldier.


from the Boise Statesman.
Some time ago Boise man said to
reporter in connection with some re-
marks concerning the difficulty be-
tween sheepmen and cattlemen in Cas-
STA county that trouble over sheep
would likely be precipitated on this
side Of Snake river before Icing, and
that the ball would in all probability
be started rolling on Camas Prairie,
Blaine county. The following resolu--
tons adopted at mass meeting Of
citizens of Camas Prairie held at
Soldier, forwarded to the Statesman
by Hon. j. l. Baxter, would indicate
that the gentleman spoke with pro-
phetic voice:
Whereas, Tho vast hocks Of sheep driven from the
lower counties early possible in spring and held
and gra2ed here long IL is safe to avoid the
snow storms Of winter, and in numerous instances
grazed all around and close mp 10 fences driving
and herding over irrigation diIches breaking down
their banks causing great annoyance and damage,
and by bedding them down on the banks Of streams,
thereby communicating water supplies making it
impossible for us to hold cattle and horses upon
the range contaminated, eaten out and trOdden
down by sheep, Therefore be II
Resolved, That view with Indignation and
alarm their increasing cncroanhments aud the better
TO protect ourselves from such abuses, hereby
ganize ourselves intoan association to be known as
the Farmers Protective Association Of Clmas Prairie
in order to resist by all lawful means any further
croachments OF such focks upon our premises and
range. BE II further
Resolved That we call the attention Of such owners
Of said ocks to the statutes Of Idaho bearing upon
the subject, which prohibits the grazing OF sheep

A Clear Tendency.

The Republican state conventions
in Maine, New Jersey and Kentucky
on the 10th adopted platforms declar-
ing for the gold standard. The Maine
platform expressly speaks for Reed and
says that until international agreement
can be obtained "he believes the pres
ent gold standard should be main.
tained." New Jersey says; "We re-
gard the agitation for the free coinage
OF silver as a serious obstacle TO our
country's prosperity" Kentucky says
eve are opposed to the free and UNI
limited coinage Of silver, believing that
1T would involve the country in inan-
cial ruin. The gold dollar is the best
dollar" etc.
The way the Republican state con-
ventions have been going for the past
two weeks, and the sentiments ex-
pressed in those states where conveh-
tons have not been held, indicate
strongly that the Republican party of
the nation is going to adopt platform
built on the pattern of those quoted
above and openly take up the cudgels
for the gold standard. Republican
silver men might as well make up
their minds to this and prepare to 60
elsewhere. The line is being clearly
drawn and there is only one side of it
where they can stand-Denver News.

Some Of the more recent explorers
OF Alaska and British America claim
that the Mississippi can no longer be
regarded as the longest river on the
North American continent. This dis
tinction is claimed for the great Yukon
river. According to Ivan Petroff, who
spent over two years in Alaska, COL
lecting materials for the last census,
the Yukon empties into Norton Sound
about one-third more of water than
the Mississippi pours into the Gulf of
Mexico. The Yukon basin comprises
the larger part OF Northern Alaska,
and 600 miles from its mouth the river
is a mile in width. Many centuries
before it was discovered by white men
it very likely served as the water high
way into the interior for tribes whom
we believe to have crossed from Asia
TO the American continent. The Yu
kon river is over 1000 miles in length
