NIT the following report:
We first visited the county Jail in
a body and found it kept in first
class condition and prisoners we'll
taken care of. On viewing the build
ing. we find that the upper story of
the building could be made more
secure aud prisoners less liable to
escape In lieu thereof, we would
omnend that the upper corridors
be lined with boiler iron or some
thing equally as secure And we
would recommend that the outside
walls of the building be pointed up
and painted.
We next visited the court house.
Our first Office to visit was the Re-
corier's We found the Office kept
neatly aud books in :heir proper
places aud record up to date.

LIVESTOCK LOSSES ARE HEAVY
EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND
HEAD OF CATTLE Persisted.
Western Utah Reports Heavy Losses
of Sheep, Reaching 20 Per Cent
Cattle Average Six Per Cent.

Denver, Colo, March 4-Charles F.
Martin, secretary of the National Live
stock association, today issued a bulle-
tin concerning livestock losses on the
range this winter. 1t says:
with the exception of Montana, re-
ports have been received from leading
stockmen, and are considered accurate
as far as they go. In Idaho, Wyoming.
Colorado, northern and western Texas,
New Mexico, Oklahoma and Indian ter
ritory, the winter has been the worst
known in ten years or more.
Fortunately the great cold made
the storms dry, and there was enough
wind and sun TO keep a fair proportion
of the ranges uncovered. Oregon.
Washington and Arizona suffered very
little, and will have only nominal losses.
California is still suffering from
drouth, and the outlook there is bad.
The losses in Wyoming, Colorado and
the Dakotas as yet have not averag ed
4 per cent. In northern and western
Texas and northeastern New Mexico.
AID through southern Oklahoma and
Indian territory, the heaviest losses
have been with cattle being moved
north from the south. Where the cat
tie went into the winter in bad cOndi-
ton the mortality has been heavy,

per cent. Taking the range section as
a whole, to the present time the losses
will average per cent. With the most
favorable conditions that can be ex-
pected, an additional loss of 2 per cent
may be looked for before spring, and
should the weather continue bad
through March a heavy loss will cer-
tainly result.
The department of agriculture re-
ports that there were in the neiShbor-
hood of 1900, 900 head Of cattle in the
range country on Jan. 1. 1899. Assum-
ing that this is correct, 6 per cent of
this number would indicate the destruc-
ton of 100000 head of cattle during the
present winter.
In Utah, Wyoming and some parts
of Oregon heavy sheep losses are re-
ported. 1t is feared that there will also
be heavy sheep losses in Montana
Wyoming reports some instances OF
losses reaching as high as 80 per cent,
and some claim that if March fur
nishes much bad weather the sheep loss
in that state may reach % per cent. In
western Utah the conditions appear to
be almost as bad In several instances
the reports give the average for this
section as being 20 per cent. These two
states are the greatest sufferers of any
