CANNOT SELL HORSES
Unbranded horses may be handled
according to the state estray laws. but
forest officers cannot be allowed to
gather such horses for the purpose of
using or selling them, nor can they
be allowed to collect any remuneration
from any person for corraIling un-
claimed horses. The policy of the for

operate with the stockmen of the state
or territorial authorities when they
take the initiative in disposing of wild
horses in the national forest, but the
present laws and regulations do not
admit of Independent action by the for

who sometimes succeed in stealing the
greater part of the stock which the pre-

plants are another nuisance which
give the stockmen considerable trouble
in many parts of the country
GOVERNMENT AIDS SToCKMEN
Uncle Sam has always shown dis

work. On many of the national forest
ranges for the last year rangers and
guards have been assigned to the work
of hunting and trapping, with the sole
aim of killing off the animals that
prey upon stock. The work has met
with marked success and hundreds OF
wolves and coyotes have succumbed Ia

tor Of the First Methodist church, was elected
chairman of the county committee; the Rev. A.
S. Buchanan, vice-chairman, and M. yesterday,

The county list is thoroughly revised. While
the convention was small, yet the prospects are

Mt. CARROLL, Ill, February 25-The Prohbi-

successful we have ever held in the county. We
had representation from seven townships. A
good county fund was started and the county
we'll organized for the campaign. Delegates were
selected to go to Springfield. The interest in
the Prohibition cause is growing. The saloon
fellows are blaming the Prohibitionists for the
nti-saloon crusade, which is driving many voters
into the Prohibition ranks. Scarcely a. day
passes in which county officers do not hear of new
recruits Judge Chain of Chicago made good
as he always does. Votes were made for the
party and much good done for the spring election
The speakers warning to vote in the fall as they
will vote in the spring was we'll taken and it
made party voters of number who have been
lifelong temperance Republicans.

The meeting closed with short address by
Judge Mccartney of Metropolis, district super
