Boise--The contest between the state
livestock sanitary board and the Butter
field Livestock company and other
sheep owners In Canyon and Washing
ton counties Ia not settled. The SAM
tary board directed the state veterinari-
an to dip sheep. DR.. Noble, the veter-
marian, states this is to be done imme-
diately, unless the weather conditions
interfere. 1t Is understood an injunc-
fion will be taken out immediately III
the dipping Ia undertaken, while the
owners may forcibly resist. The feder-
al inspectors state the sheep will be
quarantined unless they are dipped.
About 200, 900 sheep are involved on
one side and the, validity OF the law on
the other.

bands for water on the Upper Snaka |
liver and on the Minidoka tract. but it ,
equally assured that the pumping :
art OF the Minidoka project will not {
% built until the other projects are
ompleted, probably not for several
ears.
IL is also agreed that the construction
the Dubois project will be indefi-
iteiy postponed, though it will ulti-
'ately be bnilt by the government.
Mr.. Dubois is advised that the Sho- /
lone forest reserve, embracing half of D
