&. r. Meek of Draper. an extensive
sheep raiser, arrived at the White house
Saturday evening, after driving overland
from Soda Springs, Ida. where he left
his sheep in the hands of employees, driv-
ing them back to Utah. The trip. COW
ering something like 175 miles. was made
by Mr.. Meek since Monday night, with
two saddle ponies attached to a wagon
that he wanted to bring home for the
winter.
Il am wintering a little over 200
| sheep" said MIR. Meek. II am taking
every last one of them to the Deep Greek
country in Utah In the spring l am
going to take them back to Idaho. and
a few more-that is. if the state authori-
| ties will let me. Under the new law one
| has to keep his sheep there all the time
or not at all. Just why the law was
passed / do not know. unless it was to
prevent the Introduction Of scOurges and
/ to AFFORD a better chance to slap on taxes.
| If | am barred with my flOCks ] will
| do one of two things in the spring. either
| fan back on Utah. which is not a bad
| sheep raising country. or sell the lot and
| purchase new herds in Idaho. The grass
| il good on the desert, and there is plenty
! of feed where l am going.
The trip overland was hot, dusty and
| tiresome- Everything is dust, and there
is great need of rain"
