ASSESSING THE SHEEPMEN.

r. L. Flanagan, as Republican ma
tiona committeeman, sent out
circular letter TO the wool growers
of Nevada to contribute TO the Re-
publican campaign fund. Why
shouldn't they, What would be more
dangerous TO a Nevada sheepman
than another Democratic administra
ton? Read up your statistics.
In 1892, when the Wilson Demo
cratie) tariff act went in force, SUI
perseding the Mckinley tariff act, ac-
cording to U. S. government statis-
tics. there were 47,273,553 sheep in
the United States worth s2.66 per
head or 500, 264.
After four years of Democratic
rule what was left of the sheep bus
mess is represented by the following
government statistics: (1S96)
number of sheep 36.S1S,643. value
per head, $1.S2 total value, $66,~
020.942. A loss in four years of
Democratic rule of Al per cent of the
value of a sheepman' floeks.
Note the resussitation of this in
dustry under Republicanism! The
first year of the Mckinley admins
tration the value of the American
sheepmen fiocks increased 81 per
cent, and in 1900 after four years
of Republican rule. there were &c.
,121,SS1 sheep in this country valued
at $3.50 per head and worth $246,-
175.SS5.
In four years of Republieanism fol-
lowing Democratic administration
the number of sheep in the United
States had nearly doubled. the price
per head had more than doubled and
the American sheepmen had made,
exclusive of sales during the three
intervening years, the difference be-
tween 67 and 246 million dollars.
Nevada sheepmen got some benefit of
this.
The sheepman in Nevada who had
five thousand sheep in 1892 could sell
them for $13,300 Following the
same huctuation in numbers and val
nes. as the statistics of the sheep In
dustry of the United States show hap
pened during the next (Democratie)
four years. in 1896. that flock of
sheep had decreased to $500 head,
the price had decreased to $1.s2 and
they were worth only $6,916 \ loss
of $6,3S4, or almost half.
During the next four years of Re
/ publican rule let us see what hap
pened to that flock of sheep. 1t had
increased in numbers following the
statistical averages to $50, worth
$3.50 a head. or $26,442.
Here are the figures, again, that
show the varying financial status of
the Nevada sheepman who in 1892
had five thousand head valued in that
Republican year at $4,000.
After four years of Democratic
rule, value S6,916.
After four succeeding years Re-
publican rule, value $26,442.
Are not these statistics significant?
Should not the sheepmen of Nevada
view a Democratic administration
with the same alarm and foreboding
that they would the menace of a de-
vastating army?
There can, therefore. be no just
criticism of the act of P. L. Flani-
gan, who as Republican national COM
mitteeman, requested the sheepme

Conditions for the Handling I

Greatly Improved.

The snow storms OF the past week
have covered the ground in and

ficiently for the lumbernen to be-
come active 10 the handling OF the
large quantities OF cut timber stand
ing on skids at the various camps.
February will have, to furnish or
maintain the present condition If
the lumbermen are to get out with
safety and assurance.
The cut this year, although larg'r
than was expected at the first OF the
season, is much below last years in
size.
The late snowstorms have favored
the lumbermen to some degree, and
have furnished bottom for road
building.
In many instances every available
team which could be procured has
been engaged and put to work and
1t is expected that from the first to
the fifteenth OF March, all the near

everything up.

DECIDE IMPORTANT
GAME QUESTION.
Game Wardens Of stste In con.
ference Reach m Import
ant Conclusion.

The various deputy game wardens
throughout the stale have returned
to their homes from the recent con-
terence held Ia the city of Petoskry
The meeting was attended by
twenty four deputy state and county y
wardens State Warden Pierce was
also present.
In speaking OF the meeting an up,
per peninsula W trden says:-
The meeting was one that would
produce excellent results. as num-
Der OF wardens present were new
men in the business and they OBJ
tanned great many pointers that
will be OF much benefit TO them. All
the important points OF the new
game laws were discussed.
"Up to this time the owners oi
deer hides have not been permitted
to ship them out OF the state to be
tanned. II was agreed that this
privilege should be granted. Some
deputies from the northern counties
reported that they knew Of many
men who had deer hides they would
like to ship 10 tanneries, but who
refrained from doing SO through
fear OF prosecution. A special
blank will be prepared for the use
Of shippers. Each deputy will be
furnished with the blanks. and the
owners Of hides will be provided
with them on application.
Another important matter debat-
ed at considerable length was the
proposal to permit owners OF
mounted deer heads to ship them
outside the state. An opifion was
received from the attorney general
to the effect that after head is
mounted It becomes a commercial
article, and that its shipments
should not be tabooed. Several OF
the wardens fought strenuously
against this and it was decided that
shipments of the kind should not he
allowed, it being argued that were
the owners of mounted deer heads
privileged to ship them, the induce
ments for violating the laws would
increase as 10 many cases the heads
bring a good price. 1t was stated
by some, they knew Of mounted deer
heads that sold for $25. II the pot
hunters could get attractive prices
for mounted heads. greater num-
ber Of deer would be slaughtered.
ut was also stated that the vari.
GUS state and county deputies are
working in harmony, and that ex.
cellent results are being obtained,
and that under the present method
Of conducting the work Q deputy
will have to give results, otherwi
be will not hold his position very
long. Deputies are now privileged
to call on wardens from other dis
tricts to aid them in suppressinl
violations or in making arrests.
