The secretary of states Office has
, completed the work of reindexing and
| revising the stock brand records, which
contain at this time some 30 900 brands,
with the result that these valuable rec
ords are now indexed by system that
will prevent any future confusion and
1
thousands of desirable brands The
mere labor of recording stock brand
used in state would appear a trihing
matter, but when the facts are consid
cred that the law forbids the recording
of the same brand to different persons
and that no brand may be recorded to
| which any other brand in use on the
same range, or in the same locality
may be changed the aspect of the work
is altered Before recording a new
brand presented, the recorder must
know absolutely two things. First,
that the brand is not of record to some
other person in the state; and. second,
that it does not conflict with other
brands in use on the same range. This
necesstates the keeping of the records
in such shape that they may be readily
consulted and if any of the thousands
of different characters possible to re-
cord are of record or conflict, those
facts must be quickly and positively
determined. To permit stock owner
to record brand that is already of rec
ord to another person whose cattle are
perhaps at large upon the same range
| where the new man proposes to run
his stock, might create the greatest
confusion, litigation and loss, II not
discovered in time. For these and 9TH
er reasons it is of the utmost impor-
tance to stockmen that these records
be given the closest care. The system
now in use will render unnecessary the
taxing and recording of brands as was
undertaken in 1899 The law of 1899
required stockmen to re-record their
stock brands and to pay tax of 81
to cover the expense of the work. and
