 fee of the board has been so system atized that the acts of the board are effective; that through his uniform courtesy to patrons of the office the stock laws and their administration have been popularized as is evidenced by the uniform esteem in which he is held by stockmen from all parts of the territory; and that
 Whereas, we recognize that it is due to the wisdom and impalitality of his acts and suggestions that many preju- dices that have heretofore existed have been dispelled;
 We therefore extend to MT. IT. liar risOn our assurance of appreciation and esteem of the able and cOnscien- tious manner in which he has served the live stock interests and the Live Stock Sanitary board, and earnestly recommend that the board collectively | and individually perpetuate this most satisfactory condition by rendering him every encouragement in future.
