association has often called the attention
of the authorities to the prevalence oil
the scab in the state, but all to no effect.
1t isawell known fact that the ad-

Idaho sheep. 1t was because of that
condition that State Sheep Inspector
Dressler declined to get out his annual
report by saying the sheep were free
from scab, neither did he desire to go
before the people with the truth of the
matter.
Andrew Little of Emmett, who was in
the city few days ago, asked President
Mcmillan to call special meeting of the

and glittering ornaments were in great

speakers. The assemblage was called t.
order without delay by President d. r

that the multitude rise while Rev. Fran
