SHEEP INSPECTION
MANY DEPUTIES ARRIVE
TO ASSIST IN WORK.
Trained Veterinarians Arrive to As
sist In Annual Inspection of All
Herds Before Shearlng Time-Only
Affected Bands VIII BE Dipped This
Year-Results Apparant of Splendid
Work of Inspectors Last Year.

In preparation for the inspection
work that is to be commenced April
l by the bureau of animal industry,
DR.. s. w. Mcclure is now gathering
an additional force of deputies. DR..
Paul Taylor of Tacoma, has already
arrived and within a few days two
more men will reach the city. They
are DR.. Wallis V. Glasyer of Seattle
and DR.. Charles F. Bontrager OF
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. All are trained
veterinarians and are fully competent
to handle the work expected of them.
ION the first of April We will COM
mence an inspection of all the sheep
in the state" said DR.. Mcclure this
forenoon. "a force of about 16 depu-
ties will be placed in the field, most
ly in eastern oregon. and every band
will be inspected before shearing
time.
AS the sheep commission has an
nulled the annual dipping provision
of the sheep law as far as this spring
is concerned, the only sheep to be dip
ped will be those found affected with
scab. Such sheep will be dipped at
once or Immediately after shearing,
according to the necessities of the
case.
Last year the dipping was done
under the supervision of the federal
men and a force OF "a deputies was
employed by DR.. Mcclure. There will
be very little dipping to supervise this
year, so thoroughly was the work
done last spring, but nevertheless,
every sheep in the state will be In
spected.

DRIVE ELEPHANTS AWAY.
North Yakima VIII Raise License on
Circus Performances to 5000.

| NlTCNS IcTIOT1ll0HCcS 10 SSUU.
When the new ordinance raising
the license on transient merchants Is
introduced in the council Monday
night it is expected that it will be
passed and this will sound the death
knell for the sale of bankrupt" stocks
of goods in this town. The present
permit costs $25 a quarter, but the
new ordinance makes 1t $25 a day
or $3.50 a week, says a North Yaki-
ma item.
Another item in the proposed ordi-
nance is one which may mean sor-
row for the small boy, and many an
older one. The circus pays North
Yakima 500 a day to do business,
but certain business men and city
councilmen think the circus should
leave 5000 day in the city till. AS
there has been much protest at the
present rate there are some who think
the elephant and monkey men may
go by this town without stopping
The shows are we'll attended here. for
thousands come from up and down
the valley, Unless the circus can stop
here it would seem that Yakima val
ley people would be compelled to go
either to Spokane or the Sound cities
to see circus,
The proposed ordinance is urged by
the business mems association. Among
other features of the business mems
plan is to conduct war on persons
operating under the guise of church
workers. Several schemes for adver-
tising have been made to appear to
be for the benefit of certain local
churches. This was found not to be
true and the association executive
committee will investigate all Of
these schemes in the future.
The association is furnishing rat
ing on the paying ability and inclin-
alton of persons of this vicinity. City
employees and employees of the local
firms who do not pay their bills will
find life unpleasant for them.

MUST PAY FEE TO STATE.
State Seeks to Recover 10 Per Cent
Tolls From Lock Company.

The suit of the state of oregon
against the Portland General Electric
company to compel the latter to rem
der an accounting of and turn over
10 per cent of the amount of tolls re-
ceived from the locks at Oregon City
was argued at length before the su-
preme court here yesterday, says a
dispatch from Salem.
Attorney-General Ford, who ap-
peared with Judge P. Lord for the
state, argued that according to the
terms of the legislative act, which
granted the 100000 for the building
of the locks, the 10 per cent should
be paid, and that at the end of 20
years the state was to have had the
right to purchase the locks. He call
ed attention to the omission in the
brief of the defendant to any claim
that the Willamette Falls G. Locks
company, the original company con-
trolling the locks, should not have
had to pay the percentage. Crawford
dwelt strongly on the error of the
defendant in assuming throughout the
entire case that the locks and river
were in the nature of a constructed
highway, whereas the river is a nat
ural highway and not an asset of the
company.
The defendants main point, as
brought out by Attorneys Frederick
V. Holman and Writ Minor, was that
they were not responsible for the
failure of their predecessors, the Will
liamette Falls Canal & Lock COM
pany and the Willamette Falls Canal
4 Transportation company, to pay
over their share of the tolls; also
that no claim had been made
that they had the books of those two
in their possession. Atten-
tion was called to the number of
legislatures and officials who had
passed through office and never de-
manded this percentage.

GRANT COUNTY ASSESSMENTS
Will BE Increased Materially This
Year in Many Instances.

The listing Of property in Grant
county that was subject to assess
ment on March /, 1908, has been
commenced by Assessor C. w. Bon
ham, and will be diligently prosecut-
ed until it is completed, says the
Blue Mountain Eagle.
1t is learned that much of the
property in the county will be listed
at an increased valuation this season
and a large increase in the tax roll
may be looked for.
For instance, bearing orchards will
be assessed at $50 per acre; tillable
land from IS to $50 per acre; nom
tillable land, from s1.25 to $3.50 per
acre; town lots, an advance of 10
per cent; stock cattle, $40 per head;
