Sheep Mems Grievances.
Between the railroads and the forest
reserves the sheep men Of our country
are being subjected to considerable
hardship" said Thomas j. Dickerson
Of Walcott, Wyo. "The railroads are
selling large tracts Of land to big stock
men, and these stockmen will not allow
any trespassing. Every alternate Sec
ton is owned by the government, and
one man has as much right to it as an
other, but we can't get to it without
trespassing, and SO the men who have
bought railroad land have the use OF
lust twice the amount included in the
purchase. This bars out the rest of us.
The Medicine Bow forest reserve has
also taken a good deal Of our pasture.
The law limits the number Of sheep to
be put ON the reserve to 10000, and in
the past at least 100000 have found
good grazing thereon. The matter Of
trespassing was taken into court awhile
ago, and it cost one big firm in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 to find out that
the landowners wishes must be re.
spected."
Whist sheep Eat.
Professor Kennedy of the Iowa ex-
pertinent station says that there are

ing in the agricultural states, and Of
these sheep eat $50, horses eat 81 and
cattle eat Sc. He says sheep relish
most weeds and do well on them, and
therefore every farm Of quarter sec.
ton should have at least a flock Of
twenty-five sheep to help keep down
the weeds. and that small focks pay
their way ON most farms in this way:
He says: LESS labor is required In
handling sheep than almost any other
kind Of stock. During large portion
Of the year they will take care Of them
selves and at the same time utilize the
weeds and other wastes found on 20

FINDS CROOK PEDOLER
SeaIer Brings Chinaman With
Tin Pail Measures Up With
a Short Turn.

A Chinese peddler, who was disposed
to sell under laws convenient TO him
self. such as the use Of tin pals and
buckets as measures. butted up against
the wrong man yesterday morning
when he encountered Il. ?. Richards.
sealer Of weights and measures.
Mr.. Richards met the Celestial ped
ding his truck on Canyon road, where
he was violating the law as regards
the seals and also as regards the
measures. He made a seeming pre-
tense of unintelIigibility. claiming that
he could not understand what the
sealer wanted him TO do.
Mr.. Richards was obliged to call an
officer 10 his assistance, as the China
man made several attempts to escape.
The officer and sealer then took Quong,
which he gave as his name, to a store,
where they compelled him to purchase
legal measures. At first he protested,
claiming that he had no money. A
few words from the officer however
had the effect Of lOOsening up his
purse strings. After he had purchased
the measures Sealer Richards drove to
his office at the City and County build
ing and sealed them. QuOng again
protested against paying the bill, but
he finally was induced to dig up again
He was then allowed to go.
