G. S. HIckos, Government Inspec-
tor, After CommodiOus Offices,
UTAH SHEEP In BAD SHAPE
Reports That Nearly Every shipment
Has 10 be dipped Before They
Are Moved.

George S. HIckox. government sheep
inspector. Is now looking around for
corpmodious offices on Railroad Row
with the object in view OF establishing
headquarters where he can be In direct
touch with the shippers and the trans
portation companies.
Mr.. Hckox.s territory comprises
North and South Dakota, western Col
orado and Nebraska, Montana, Wash
ington, oregon, California, Idaho,
Wyoming, Nevada and Utah, and In
order to look after the interstate ship
ments of sheep he has 80 deputies em-
ployed in the states named. In addition
he has TO supervise local shipments In
Utah. all OF which makes him much
sought after man in railroad circles,
lie first came west three years ago,
when, acting under directions from the
government he organized the present
system OF inspection In the west.
In speaking this morning regarding
the shipments OF Utah sheep, he said
that the fiocks Of this state were In a
bad shape, with the result that nearly
every carload OF sheep that was moved
had first to be dipped. Conditions In
Wyoming, he said, were but slightly
better while in the other states the
sheep were remarkably free from scab,
Especially did this hold good as regards
Idaho, where, In conjunction with the
state law that was being rigidly en-
forced, the disease was being practically
stamped out. Last year, he said, the
percentage was reduced from 10 to 2
per cent in that state, while this year
even better showing will be made
by the Idaho ilocks.
