News Notes From the State Capitol

panY was organized some time ago
for the purpose of writing insurance
on live stock and it is stated they
have met with very cordial recep-
ton wherever their project has been
mentioned. They will go into the
business on a large scale and have al
ready named a number of agents who
report that there are many prospects
IN sight. 1t is the only company of
this character in the state, and in fact
the only company of it's kind in the
western part of the United States.
Board of Control Moves.
New offices will be fitted up for the
members of the board Of control of
penal and charitable institutions. The
present rooms are entirely Inadequate
and they will be moved to offices that
will be fitted up in the space now
used as a dining room on the ground
floor of the capitol building. 1t will be
some time before the rooms can be
completed. Fred Brewster, member
of the board, who has been quite
seriously Ill for the past several weeks,
is much improved at the present time
and it is expected he will be able to
attend to his duties in a short time.
Automobile Licenses.
Clerks in the Office of the secretary
or state are busy at the present time
issuing automobile licenses and up to
April l there had been 982 issued No.
l went to G. j. Lord of Cando; No. IS
to w. A. Dennison of Cathay; No. 23
to e, D. Holmes of Havanna, and one
Of what is supposed to be the lucky
numbers, TT, to Holbert Strand of
Abercrombie. 1t is estimated that
there will be an increase in the num-
Der of licenses this year over last of at
least 1000.
-. Cheese from 5uttermiIk.
The creamery at Ashley has inform
ed the dairy department that they
have engaged a man who is an expert
In the manufacture of buttermilk
cheese. In the manufacture of this
kind of cheese the cream is pasteuriz-
ed and after the churning is done the
buttsrmtlk is manufactured into
chsase. 1t requires but little extra
machinery and in this way there is
found a market for the buttermilk
which before has been almost an en-
tire waste. The management of the
Ashley creamery also states that there
is going to be a big increase in the
amount of cream delivered to the fac
tory this season and they are looking
for the biggest year In the history of
the institution. Many carloads of
good COWS have been shipped into the
part of the country from which the
Ashley creamery draws it's patronage
and the farmers generally are taking
a greater interest in the dairy bust
ness.
Herd Law Passed.
Petitions are being circulated in
Oliver county which if enough sigma
lures are secured will cut off all that
part Of the county east of range Sd as
stock district This will mean that
nearly half OF the county will be open
for grazing twelve months in the year
and that farmers in that part of Oil
YER county will have to put up "law-
fur' fences, or in other words fences
that will keep out the stock that is
allowed to run at large. While there
is some sentiment against the petition
1t is stated that there will be enough
signers to put it through.
Former Attorney General Here.
Former Attorney General McCue was
calling on his friends at the capitol
building yesterday. Mr.. McCue has
come into the limelight recently as the
author of a widely read book, The
Conquest Of Inez, and it is stated that
the book, which in the form of an in
teresting novel, has had wide sale.
Things are evidently we'll with the
author as he is looking no older than
when he was the head of the legal de-
partment of the state.
Farm Registration Law.
There appears to be great deal of
interest over the state in the law
which was passed by the last session
of the legislature regarding the reg
istration of the farm name. There
also seems to be an impression that
the secretary of state is the party to
whom application for registration
should be made but this is not fact.
The law provides that the register OF
