presented reports in opposition to the

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
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.
