he would see that no ore was sent or
diverted to any other reduction point
or smelter. To-day committee from

Estimates received from all parts OF

crop will exceed any previous wheat

Of 1890, illustrates the enormous ad-

it is provided:
ANY alteration in the length or

of public horses by docking, banging
or clipping, is hereby prohibited, and
only such reasonable trimming and
