This afternoon in district court,
Mrs. Rose Zimmerman of Emerald

MANY CANNES
Have Been Gathered in by Of.
ficer Doty-20o Collected
on This Year.

Officer Doty is still on the watch
for CANNES which have not been
tagged according to the law and not a
day passes but he gathers in one or
more.
His books show that he has collected
about 200 this year thus far and that
about thirty have been sent to the
dogs hereafter.
The number killed is not as large as
last year, the public complying more
readily with the law relative to taxing
dogs. The amount collected last year
was in the neighborhood of $675 and
it will fall below that considerable
this year. The amount of tax required
is 81 on male and IS on female dogs.
By far the greater number killed by
the officer this year have been females.
Just at this time there are a number
of hunting dogs roaming about and
owners are warned that they will be
dispatched unless wearing the proper
tag. 1t seems to be the impression
with many that If they have taken out
a dog tax, it Is not material whether
or not the animal bears the tag, but
this Ia erroneous.

soon spread about and many callers
gathered to congratulate the major on
the day and all wished him many more

beneficial to him.
