SALT LAKE AND
STATE NEWS
SHEEP OWNERS PROTEST.

Salt Lake. Aug. 2.-The state board
of equalization held a lively. and in
cidentally an interesting meeting this
morning The trouble was the action
OF the board in raising sheep assess
ncnts throughout the state 40 per
cent. which has aroused a storm of
protest IN all degrees Of violence. The
causuS bellI is this. The government
inspectors reports indicate the num-
ber of sheep in Utah at over 100000.
"A member of the board SAYS 1t Is near
5000. 900. The state sheep inspectors
report trifle over 100000. while the
statistics as furnished by the various
boards of county assessors report for
taxation only 100000 sheep. Grant
ing the state inspection is nearer the
mark than the government officials +.
the members of the state board would
like 10 know If there are really 100000
sheep hidden up where the state can
not get at them for taxation. Mem
bers OF the board imagine there Is n
little game of hide and seek going on
somewhere. though just where they
are unable to determine
After a prolonged raking over of
the live Goals of discussion. the board
has come TO the conclusion that the
only solution Is to raise the general
rate on sheep 10 per cent above the
present assessment. 1t is agreed this
will work a hardship on the small
flock owner, but il will tend to even
things up on the large flock owner.
The board does not see any other way
out Of it Assessors and other county
officers from Salt Lake. Davis and
Weber counties have been arguing to-
day before the board against the raise,
though up TO date without any success.
When the remainder OF the state is
heard from perhaps the board will
gain some idea of where those 100000
out of sight" sheep are TO be located.

GRAND JURrs REPORT
.Inquistorial Body Examines l7S WITNESSES
And Returns 80 True Bills.

To his Honor, Judge w. A. Roane:
We the grand jnry selected by you
at this term of court, having finished
our labors, beg leave to submit to
your honor the following report.
Having made an earnest endeavor
to make thorough and conscientious
investigation of all violations of the
law in our county, examining during
this endeavor 178 witnesses, we return
to your honor thirty true bills in
which, in our judgement, the evidence
warrants such.
We have examined by committees
the county poor house, Jail and books
of the comfy officials.
The poor house we find in fair con-
dition, with these exceptions, to-wit:
The house inhabited by negroes needs
covering at the earliest opportunity,
its roof leaking badly, and the room
occupied by white men needs ceiling.
Other repairs should be done in the
way of repairing windows and white
washing and painting the exterior of
the building. We recommend that
the board of supervisors note these
facts. The Jail is in fine condition,
the inmates reporting good treatment.
The southwest window in the south
west room, we recommend, be re-
paired.
The books of the county officials are
being kept in neat and, as far as we
could judge from short and hurried
review, correct form. These officials
merit commendation for the care of
their respective offices. However, we
beg to call your honor's careful atten-
ton to institute fund account found
in the county auditors book. From
it, it seems very clear that the county
superintendent of education has not
turned into the treasury the fees col
lected from teachers applying for
license. We submit this account to
the prompt and proper consideration
of the rightful authorities.

Aftermath Of Ferguson Tragedy.
In Vardaman's Issue

The remains of Mr.. j. w. Ferguson
were inferred in the Grays Greek Gem
etery last Friday evening.
Physical facts tend to show that Mr..
Ferguson met his death at the hands
of his wife while asleep. However,
the grand jury refused to indict Mrs.
Ferguson on account of the previous
conduct of the deceased.
While Mr.. Ferguson was not with
out fault, he was undoubtedly man
whose mechanical ingenuity amount
ed almost ito genius. In addition to
possessing a knowledge of machinery
of nearly every kind, he was a sue
cessful building contractor, and has
erected large number of houses in

Look After The Dogs.

Mr.. Editor
Through the medium Of your valu-
able paper ! ask the privilege of talk
ing to the citizens of Mississippi about
a matter which is of vital Importance
to us all. There are several hundred
thousand worthless dogs in Mississip-
pi running at large without any re-
strictions on them whatever. This
claim is wrong and SHOULD be rectsfied
and I solicit incorporation and cor
respondence Of every good man in
Mississippi who is with me in this
move and let us come together to de-
wise some ways and means by which
some good laws along this line can be
passed at the next meeting Of the
legislature.
There was time when Mississippi
Times-promoter. (Hernando, DeSoto County, Miss.) 1898-1970, 1909-05-20

ranked as the seventh state in the un-
ion from sheep raising standpoint
but the worthless cur has about ban
ished that industry from our state.
We have scores of citizens to die an
nually from that dread disease, hydro
phobih, besides huddreds of thousands
of dollars worth of stock. These same
dogs are fed and kept up by eating all
the eggs of fowls, birds and all rab-
bits and every thing else that they
can possibly get their mouths on. Let
us block or kennel them the year
round, except while in actual service,
and, in addition, they should be taxed
one dollar per head and said tax ap-
propriated to the school fund.
Our legislators think that such a law
would be unpopular and there is but
one way to get at it, and that is, to
90 to work now and get up petitions
{ rom every county in the state and
present them before the next legisia-
ture.
! call on every man both in and out
of Mississippi who feels interested in
such measure to correspond with
me and let us go to work right now.
Don't wait for the other fellow.
