tons reported were Of q nature to cause
ai3rm. Not one In the city escaped the
eye Of the inspector. and not one in which
recommendations for correction of exist
ing conditions were not necessary.
In some instances the recommendations
were more or less un!mportant. but in a
great majority the changes ordered were
of such a nature as, to demand immediate
attention. The Inspector served notice and
directed the changes TO be made and gave
ten days in which TO have the orders en-
forced.

Range Cattle in
Poor Condition

In spite of an abundance of water
upon the range cattle are thin and
in poor condition at present, though
no considerable loss has occurred to
ranchers during the winter. This
condition is caused by the cattle hav-
ing to nose about under the deep
snow which has been lying for weeks
on their grazing grounds in order TO
secure food.
Although thin and run down con-
siderably by the necessary labor of
foraging under those circumstances,
the cattle are in good health. Few
deaths from starvation have occur
red, according to Frank Nevin of the
Ely Meat company.

Gives License
Opinion

A decision of far-reaching impor-
tance was handed down Wednesday
afternoon by Attorney General Stod,
dard in reply to a request OF District
Attorney Charles l.. Horsey, of Lam
der county The decision is to the
effect that the law of 1907 which pro
yides that in case there is an incor-
porated town or city in any county,
that all the revenue derived from the
gaming licenses in such corporation
shall go wholly to the corporation
instead of being divided between the
county and state as heretofore. This
cuts OUT the county and the state. 1t
also holds that the state has right
to levy "A license upon such games
and that later the city, If it sees fit.
can levy an additional license and
that both such licenses shall re-
donnd To the city.
The question arose in Searehlight
which was recently incorporated and
where some dispute arose over the
collection of and the leyying of gam
ing licenses.
