Don't Like the Idea of Sheep Over
running the Forest Reserve.

Huntington. March 10.-The people OF
Emery county are not yet done trying
TO get one or two of the many privileges
they thought they had on the mountains
and range enclosed in what is now the
Manti forest reserve.
The sheep owners not only get what
they have asked for. through the help
Of the Utah delegation in congress. but
they do about as they please. The rule
is that sheep are not to so into the
reserve until May or the first OF June
cattle and horses are not allowed on
the reserve before the 18th of May. But
the sheep owners do not ask any odds
of the government officers or their rut-
ingS. as there are now thousands of
sheep already on the reserve. and from
the way the owners talk they propose
TO keep them there. Tho number OF
sheep asked TO be permitted to go on
the. reserve. viz, 81, 40 tmOre have been
asked for since those figures were OBJ
tained), include the expected increase in
lambs. as the department has ruled that
a lamb is a sheep. so that sheepmen have
asked for permits for thousands of sheep
more than they own. and the excuse is
that they expect TO double their flOcks
with lambs. The figures and allotments
given on our petition are official direct
from Washington, and they show dis
examination against the people OF Emery
county that they do not propose 10 put

FIGHT FOR JUDGEsHIP.
Politicians Are Beginning to Mend
Their Fences.


Mt Pleasant. March n.-Judge Jacob
Johnson of Spring City was in this city
during the week attending 10 some bust
ness matters and incidentally strength
ening his end of the judicial campaign
which is beginning to make itself felt
in the Seventh district, over which the
judge at present presides. While here
Mr.. Johnson renewed his statement that
he was n candidate for reelection to
the position he now holds and IL is evil
dent that he will make a strong fight
to obtain at least a nomination at the
hands of his own party. Attorney w D.
Livingston Of Manti came formally into
the race for the nomination this week
also by making an announcement TO that
effect. As Attorney Christensen of Manti
is also an avowed candidate. and as each
candidate claims to have a good strong
following, il can be seen that light
of some interest will be on in the G..
Q. p. camps in this judicial district. \
partial canvass Of the leaders OF the
party 50 north Sanpete county has been
made. and 10 has been shown quite con-
ClusiVely that Johnson viii have q StroES
following throughout that section. In his
own home-SDring City-thcre is an ele-
ment which viii oppose him bitterly. and
there will be found quite a number of
the same opinion in this city. but be
is pretty safe for a majority from this
end of the county anyway In the
southern districts Christensen viii have
considerable strength, as Will also Liv-
ingstCn- Other parts of the district VIII
be divided. although it is thought john
son viii lead i'm the eastern counties. II
would seem. therefore, that Johnson Is
somewhat in the lead in the race, with
Livingston second as the latter is more
generally known throughout the district
than is Christensen. II is anybody
fight yet however. and will be until the
convention is over.
There seems 10 be strong sentiment
in this part Of the district among Re-
publicans that the district attorneyship
should go to some good man from one of
the eastern counties this year if the man
can be found This phase has been dis
cussed but little so far. however
But little has been done among Dem
ocrats OF the district yet. although X
IS understood they are quite hopeful OF
success this time and that when the
time comes they will have good men for
the various positions.
