COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HAVE No POWER,

OLYMPIA, April 22.--In the absence
of any express statutory provision en-

missioners have no authority to levy a
dog license and enforce it's provisions,
Attorney General Atkinson holds in an
opinion given Prosecuting Attorney w.
r. Garrett of San Juan county. Mr.. At
kinson's opinion follows:
I'VE have examined the books in
vain to find any law which either ex-
pressly or implicitly would give the
board of county commissioners power
to enact any such regulation or ordi-
nance as you refer to. Sections 3447
and 1859. Ballinger's Code, to which
you have referred us. were repealed by
chapter 6S, laws Of 1907. Section 1912
relates to the spread Of infectious dis
eases and certainly could not apply. We
are left, therefore. to find authority for
such action of the county board. to Sec

some cases dairymen have become

barns. 1t is quite task to keep these
as clean as they should be kept in
damp weather. Many new barns are

in every instance dairy sheds are being

counties to make and enforce all such
local police regulations as are not in
conflict with general laws, the machin-
cry by which such police regulations
are to be made and enforced is not
provided for by statute, as is done for
Incorporated cities. This certainly
would require, implicitly at least, legis-
lative action to provide the manner in
which such police regulations should be
made and enforced.
I'VE hold, therefore. that this section

SHEEP sAEAR|MG HAS BEGUN
Big Crews Go to Work in Umaui|a
County

PENDLETON. April 22.-The click
of at least 100 pairs of sheep shears
began to make music in the west end
of Umatilla county, today.
The crews averaging at least 10 men
began work on the large bands in the
Butter creek and Pilot Rock districts
and for the next six weeks the busy
season will be on. Owing to the ex-
tremely unfavorable weather of the
past few weeks, the grease in the wool
nas been cold and shearing has been
impossible and for this reason the
shearing season will be somewhat LES
The price for hand shearing will be
seven cents and board this season and
a large proportion of Umatilla county
sheep will be Sheared by hand. The
sheep shearers will average about IS
per day, each. Some of the men reach
ing 100 per day, others falling down
to 20 and IS. e."
The Mcfarland shearing crew con-
sisting of 10 men went to A. A. Coles
ranch on Butter creek, where shearing
began today. The crew has a large
number Of bands engaged and will be
employed for the next six or seven
weeks in that district.
1t is estimated there are about 200, 600
sheep in Umatilla county to be sheared,
the cost of shearing this number at
seven cents per head amounting to $14,-
600 which will be divided among perhaps
100 men engaged in the work.

THE EFFECT Of LAW
IS NOT KNOWN
AS YET
Situation Regarding the Issu-
ing of Free Passes Unsettled
to Date.

The exact effect in North Dakota OF
the anti-pass provision of the Hepburn
rate act, which became effective Tues
day. is not known for certainty as
yet 1t looked for time as if the
railroads generally would withdraw
all state as we'll as interstate passes,
except for special classes named in
the act This expectation will not be
fulfilled
The Pennsylvania and New York
Central lines abolished free passes the
beginning of last year AMI. will nci
revive their use, but it will still te
possible to get rides within state on
many of the railroads of the country.
In the West the Rock Island and Bur-
lington announce they will give no
state passes for any purpose. The
Santa Fe. the Missouri Pacific and the
Hartman lines. on the other hand.
have indicated that they will enter into
no agreement not to issue any passes,
which means that they will give them
on political account if they think it
desirable. The Wabash and North
western lines are said to be still in
doubt as to what they will do, and the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
apear to have made no positive state
ments in this regard as vet, although
these lines have taken action resulting
in cutting out hundreds of the passes
which previously have been issued.
The new law forbids any common
carrier subject to it's provisions to is
sue or give any interstate free pass or
free transportation for passengers, eX-
cept to railway employees and officers
and their families, and certain speci-
fled classes of religious and charitable
workers and objects of charity. Any
common carrier violating this provi-
sion may be fined not less than 500 or
more than $1,000, and any person ac-
cepting a pass in violation OF the act
is subject to a like penalty.
There is Il widespread agitation for
anti-pass legislation by the states to
supplement that of the nation, and dis
the railroads are now in no mood TO
offer much opposition to such meas
ures. many. it is believed will be
passed
The exchange of transportation for
newspaper advertising has also come
practically TO an end. at least for the
present. The interstate commerce
commission some time ago ruled that
this exchange was illegal. All the
railroads had outstanding contracts
with the newspapers running until the
end of the year, however, and it was
deemed impracticable to enforce the
ruling until these contracts expired.
The Hepburn act says not d word
about newspaper transportation.
The only railroads in the country,
so far as can be learned, which will
disregard the commissions ruling in
regard to newspaper transportation
are the Monon and the Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas. The Monon ahas an
nounced that it will fight the commits
sions ruling in the highest courts.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas will
continue to issue both state and inter-
state transportation, and believes it
can defeat in the courts any attempt
to stop the practice.
