SHEEP CONDITIONS GOOD.
Shepherds Bulletin Sees Prosperity
Ahead for Shecpmen.

The American Shepherds Bulletin
of Boston. In speaking of sheep con-
ditions in the west, says:
Generally speaking, conditions on
the great western ranges are very IA
vorable at the present time and the
sheep owner is in a very optimistic
mood. Flockmasters are in a position
to hold their stock II prices do not
suit them. Breeding sheep will be in
great demand during the fall and in
all probability a large percentage of
the eve lambs will be kept over.
This would indicate a comparative
" light movement of sheep and lambs
from the range to the large markets
during the summer, especially If re-
ports regarding a light crop of lambs
in some Of the ranges can be de-
pended upon.
At the present writing a very sue
cesstul lambing season Is reported
from Montana. and according to a
representative sheepman in that state,
conditions could not possibly be bet
ter than they are at present.

Tho following article on crooked
gambling methods of Salt Lake City,
from the Salt Lake Herald, applies
with equal force to gambling of every
description everywhere. The Herald
says:
II really Is a great pity that some
arrangement cannot be made to have
the crooked gambling devices taken
from the Hotel Gladstone on Thurs
day, kept permanently ON exhibition
in Salt Lake for the benefit of the
ingenious younth and older men who
believe that an outsider has some
small fraction of chance to beat
gambler at his own game.
Faro and roulette are easily the two
most popular gambling games. The
former appeals more to the profess
sional, and because of its less over
powering advantage against the player.
1t Is also more popular with the
"wise" man who has acquired a few
elementary facts regarding systems,
but is still weak enough to believe
that a mysterious fortune which he
doesn't expect to act for him in any
other phase of life will bring him
wealth from the ow',er OF the bank
despite all the latter's known advan-
tages and percentage of chance in his
favor. Roulette is not so complicat-
ed as faro. IT has more devotees, and
they all are losers. for the percentage
in favor of the bank is greater even
than In the case of faro.
Snp,a Ca hing houea pronriatore
are not satisfied with the advantage
that a long purse and the percentage
OF the game In their favor give them

drunken or wholly foolish man who
plays at their tables, For such pro-
prietors as these, such appliances like
those at police headquarters are man.
ufactured. They eliminate entirely all
law of chance, unless the dealer so
decides, the player may never win
single bet. Ultimately, the player
must lose every dollar he hazards.
The crooked layout at the police
station is for faro and roulette. The
mechanism for the faro table was de-
scribed in Yesterdays Herald. Its
use enables the dealer to change the
order of the cards in the box after the
best are made on the table. The rou-
lette table Is governed by the slight
est pressure on the cash drawer which
by an ingenious mechanical contriv-
ance forces the whirling ivory ball
to drop almost instantly when desir-
ed
Experienced detectives assert that
almost all gambling tables are fixed
for crooked work. That all proprie-
tors do not avail themselves of the
opportunity for fraud is due to the
moral view OF the man. Some are
satisfied with the certainty OF profit
that any game of chance affords the
house. Others, too cowardly to be
burglars or hold ups and greedy for
all In sight, rob with crooked games.
The law makes gambling a felony,
using dishonest appliances adds moth
ing to the legal guilt of the gambler,
and this is unfortunate, for so long
as men are constituted as they are,
they will gamble.
But the pity of 1t Is that every
young man In Salt Lake can not see
the tables at headquarters. No per-
son who has not seen them and how
easily they can be operated is likely to
wager much money in a gambling
house, he its reputation good or bal.

Weigh Before and After.

There was an Immense amount of gold
recovered by the refiners from the SCOT and
dirt from these bricks. The accumulation
was that OF moro than twenty years. but 1t
shows how the gold dust escapes unless
every preceutien is taken.
1--WE do not have much trouble from
dishonesty among the employees as YOU
might expect. One reason for this Is the
check system. which is in force in every
large establishment In the business When
a man working on the filing, sizing or
polishing machine goes to work In the
morning he Is charged with certain num-
Der OF pennyweights OF gold, which 10 de-
Iivered 10 him IN the shape of rings. When
he has completed the Job the weight OF che
rings turned In. plus the amount OF tho
waste from his work. will be almost equal
to that with which he was charged.
There Is very little dishonesty among
the women employed due partly to the
fact that women are. BELIEVE. moro honest
and have a higher sense of honor than men
and partly to the fact that few OF them
are employed upon work where they could
easily steal ths waste particles OF gold.
