SHEEP COMMISSIONERS MEET.
state Veterinarian Makes Report Cpon
Condition OF Montana FlOcks.

HELENA, Dec. 1.-THE state board
OF sheep commi ssioners met this morn
ing at their Office in the Power block
III this city, and after organization
proceeded to the reading of the re-
ports OF the secretary and of the state
veterinarian. The secretary's report
discussed the changes and happen.
ings in the sheep business in the state
In the past year. with special refer
ence to the production and value of
the wool and mutton. His report
showed that the value of wool is lower
this year than last year. and is Two
cents lower than the price in Wyom-
ing, the contrary being usually true.
1t has been suggested that this is due
to concerted action on the part of the
wool buyers, as the Wyoming wool is
not generally as clean as that from
Montana ranches.
A large part of today's session was
taken up with the discussion of the re-
port OF State Veterinarian NJ. E.
Knowles. This report shows that there
Is not known to be any scab in the
state at present, and mentions several
cases of violations Of the state laws in
regard to the dipping and q%uarantin-
ing OF bucks, from which the scab is
usually transmitted to the sheep on the
range. There are also said to be sew
eral buck bands for public hire that
have not been registered with the state
officials according to law, but this is
thought to have been because of the
ignorance of the owners, and inspec-
tors are urged to send in a list of the
public buck bands in their territory.
The veterinarian asks that there be at
least n more inspector assigned to
this work and also suggests the as.
signment Of agricultural department
psychologists for investigation of
certain sheep diseases.

THE DAVIS FAMILY.

BY request Of elisha Davis we print
the following taken FROM the Chicago
Record Herald:
Though Of ancient standing 10 Wales,
the name Davis. originally David, scarce
ly appears in English annals before
the Norman conquest Modified in var
ious forms, 1t has produced many family
nance, some Of which are wilson,
DaSidge, Davey, lazy, Davys, Dawes,
Davie, Davies, Dawes, DAWSON and
Davis.
Davis or Davies stands fifth In point
ofnumbers in England and Wales, Yield
ing priority only to Smith, Jones, Will
Jams and Taylo:. OF the entire popula-
ton Of Great Britain one in every 42i is
named Davis. An extract from an old
play, 'Sir John Olcastle, " erronsou sly
attributed to Shakespeare, illustrates
some OF the idiosyncrasies Of tie Welsh
tongue ia regard to this nam-.

Madoc, ap Meredith, APP Griffin, ap
Owen, ap shinkin Jones, mp Davis.
"Judge--Two of the most sufficient
are enough.
"shera-'And il please your lordship,
there are but one >"
In other words, Mr.. Davis WAS bur
dened with nearly dozen names, thus
carrying his pedigree with him.
The family traces descent from Alfred
the Great and Rhodr Mawr, King OF
Wales, A. d. s4S. A prominent repre-
sentative Of the family in England at
present, Owen Davis, is seventeenth in
direct descent from Edward ILL.,. King
Of England, and ihiri y-second in descen.
from Alfred.
The lord mayor Of London IN 1876 was
Sir Thomas Davies. He was son of John
Davies, q bookseller, who was friend
OF the celebrated Samuel pepye. Sir
Thomas Davies was knighted upon the
occasion OF the laying Of the first stone
OF the Royal Exchange 10y Charles IL.
The tablet of white marble, erected in
memory Of Sir Thomas, is to he seen in
St. sepulcLie's Church, London.

One branch OF the Davis family 10 the
Chandler family, a member of which
was John Chandler, called TORY John"
and The Honest Refugee. He was
born in New London in 1870. His mis-
taken sense Of loyalty brought him into
direct conflict with The rising Hood OF
revolutionary sentiment, and he YVES
exied, with five other prominent loyal
ists. On his departure from his home at
Worcester his estate WAS coniscated,
the value being about Gc6,0OO. He
went to England, where lie died.
Among curious family names are
Rememb rance and Shadrach, Remem-
Der, Submit, Thankful and Thankful
Pray. The reader unfam iliar with this
nomenclature may need to be told that
Remembrance 10 a mans name and Re-
member woman's. Among heirloons
in the family lie Bible printe 4 in 1900,
