Shippers Complain.


Pierre.-There is complaint in re-
gard to the workings of the last cattle
inspection law of the state. Under it's
provisions no cattle can be loaded on
cars until they have been inspected
and given a clear health certificate.
The principal complaint appears to be
that inspectors cannot be secured
without much delay, especially where
there are but a few head to be in
.spected for shipment. OF course,
where the shipments are large the in
spectors are notified in advance and
get around. but where a settler wants
to ship a few head he is aften delayed
several days in the making of his
shipment.
