IDARO'S lost SHEEP
Many Arc Found by State Board Of
Equalization.
HALF OF A SHEEP ASSESSED
Guesses as to Cause of a Rather
Funny Proposition.

Discrepancies were discovered
in the assessment rolls sent in tc
the state board of equalization
from Fremont, Elmore and Blaine
counties. State Auditor Bragaw
found a great and unexplained
falling off in the number of sheep
in those counties. From Blaine
county only 20, $50 sheep were re-
ported; from Fremont county only
$500.
Auditor Bragaw sent for the
assessors of the counties and took
steps to locate the missing sheep.
1t was found that there were 282, :
$50 sheep in Blaine county, only
20, $50 OF which had been reported,
but as all these were not believed
to be in the county full year it
was decided to report total Of
I27,eI2. A similar search in
Fremont swelled the total in that
county to I49,IS5.
The total number of sheep re-
ported to the board from the state
was 1908, 766H, which was 49,
594H less than the number report
ed last year, but the efforts of the
majority of the board resulted in
raising the total to 1868, ,6o8H.
Some amusement has been
caused by the fraction. Some
suggest that the assessor of one
county found a sheep standing
across the county line and assessed
only the half that was on his side,
and the assessor of the other
county Tio: being present failed to
assess his half, which consequent
ly escaped assessment. Another
explanation is that the assessor
divided the total by to arrive at
the number which should be
assessed in his county, and as the
total ended in an odd number the
division by left half a sheep to
be reported.
1t is said the board has decided
to fix the valuation of sheep at
Va. SO head.

ST. JOE'S BRIGHT FUTURE

little town at the head of navigation
above st. Mares. He declares that
within FIVE years ST. Joe will have a
population of from 1000 to 10000
and that within three years the town
will have pay roll of So, 900 day.
A big paper mill to cost $l,5oo,Ooo
is to be built, said Mr.: Morrow, and
will employ 800 men. The Monarch
Lumber company, side issue OF the
railway company, already has a saw
mill cutting 100000 feet every q

second mill with capacity OF loo'-
600 every "a hours. The Monarch, IL
is said. has ], 900, 900 feet of lumber
sawed, ready to ship as soon as tue

states further that work has also
commenced on a planning mill to
handle IS, 900 feet of lumber oay'
and that railroad has alreadV oee''

VIII uuiu w du cApOuSUJ OI ''SdIe
and saner Republicanism". O.
course, Senator Foraker is the mos,
logical leader Of this faction Of thu
party and were the Senator able tt
command the delegation from his
own state he would probably be theil
leader in the national convention
In view OF Secretary Taft's strength
10 Ohio, however, there seems to be
little likelihood that the ''safe and
sane" faction will undertake to com.
pass Mr.. Foraker's nomination,
although they may be largely guided
by his advice.
The anti Roosevelt Republicans in
Washington declare that Secretary
Taft's tariff views will prove of in-
valuable assistance to them, as they
believe it will enable them to align
all the 'stand patters" with the
trusts and the railroads against the
nomination of the man who is
recognized as President Roosevelt's
choice, and with the unlimited funds
which will be at their disposal they
profess great confidence 10 their
success. They claim, moreover, that
by proclaiming his views ten months
in advance Of the nominating con-
vention Mr.. Taft has afforded them
ample time To accomplish his defeat
and they profess to be very grateful
to the Secretary for his Columbus
speech, although some of the Foraker
ties are indignant because he declined
to discuss the Brownsville matter
while the subject was under consid
Grafton by a Senate committee,
claiming that the Secretary's respect
for 1.-The proprieties" constituted an
implied reproof to Senator Foraker
tor discussing the subject while the
committee Of which he is a member
is still deliberating on it.
The President, Secretary Taft and
other leaders of the Republican party
have reached the conclusion that
William j. Bryan will be the Demo-
cratic candidate for president, and
they regard him as the strongest man
whom the opposition could select.
There is just now some effort being
made to launch boom for LIE Wis S.
Chanler, Lieutenant Governor of
New York, his chief claim to recog-
milton being that he was elected at
the same time that Governor Hughes
(Republican) defeated William r.
Hearst. Mr.. Chanler does not seem,
however, to be very striking or
attractive personality and it is pre-.
dicted by the Democratic politicians
here that his boom will never get
beyond New York State, even IL IL
makes progress there. Mr.. Bryan is
said to be quietly working among
politicians and publically working on
the Chatauqua circle and some of his
intimates predict that he will
experience 10 difficulty 10 controlling
the next Democratic national con
ventlOn.
