Sheep to BE Dipped
Twice Each Year

Tn its first executive session the Ne
vada Sheep Commission met at Reno
last Saturday and outlined a plan OF
campaign to improve the animal in
a,stry in the State. 1t was decided
that inspectors should be appointed to
cooperate with the Government bureau
in wiping out the scab, and an order
was issued that every sheep in Nevada
shall be dipped twice each year, until
all traces of scab are removed. This,
il is hoped, will remove the quarantine
that has Disseminated against the
nroduct here for the last six months.
Ohn Ward of Reno was elected presi-
dent Of the commission by Humphreys
and Bradley, III. l.. Nichols OF Sierra
Valley, who has been connected with
the Humphrey Supply Company here
for some time. was appointed secretary.
The inspectors mentioned will be
stationed at the discretion Of the sheep
commission in the districts where they
are most needed A crusade will be-
gin against disease, and the board
homes before the end Of the session to
have made a showing that will satisfy

The Union Pacific Railroad to
Surrender Property to
Escape Prosecution

Chicago. April A dispatch to the
Record Herald from Washington says
1t was learned last night that the Har-
riman corporations whose operations ex-
tended to coal lands and other vested
interests in the far west, are Offering to
restore to the Government properties
they have heretofore claimed as their
own by good and ample title. They
prefer to do this rather than be prose-
cuted. Coal lands worth in the aggre-
gate millions of dollars are to be restored
to the public domain as result Of recent
activities Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The Union Pacific Coal Company has
capitulated. 1t has made proposition
to the Government that it will Ieturn q
large area Of Wyoming lands to which
it admits the title is worthless. The
Government law officers are consider
ing this proposition, and while final
action has not been taken, IL was learned
yesterday on the authority of men who
have been conducting the investigation
that it will probably be accepted and
the lands returned to the public domain.
