Salt Lake Will Be
Sheepmen's Center

tablish a great international sheep
5air at this city. Already arrange
ments have been made for holding
the first international sheep show
from September to II, 1915. From
all parts of tho country word is being
received approving of this plan and
here is not the slightest doubt but
what we can establish here a great
International show that will attract
the attention of sheep breeders all
over the world. According to the re-
port of tho tariff board, that made
an exhaustive investigation as to the
cost of sheep raising in this western
country, the shccpmen tributary to
Salt Lake City are spending approx
mately $32,OO0,0OO each year for sup.
plies needed to maintain and handle
their flocks. Anything that tends to
direct the attention of sheepmen
toward this city means that a larger
share OF this money will be spent
here.

That the fitty-second annual con-
vention of the National Woolgrowers
association will be held here next Sep.
TENDER to II, in connection with the
first annual sheep show and sale OF
blooded stock, was announced yester
day by Secretary S. w. Mcclure.
Mr. Mcclure has prepared elaborate
display advertisements to tie run in
newspapers and periodicals to direct
the attention of sheepmen all over
the United States to the triple event
Concerning the position of Salt Lake
with regard to the sheep industry,
Mr.. Mcclure said yesterday:
According to the last census, the
value of the sheep of the United
States was given as $232,OOO, 900. In
addition to the value of the sheep,
the woolgrowers of the country have
an investment in lands and equip
ment needed to maintain their flocks
of $500 100000. This gives the grand
total value of the American sheep in
dustry at 100000,
OF the total number of sheep in
the United States more than IS per
cent of them are located in that ire
ritory lying west of the Missouri .riv-
er. From this statement it would APP
pear that Salt Lake is fairly well

industry west of the Missouri river.
The sheep has been the pioneer in
the settlement and upbuilding of the
west. Unfortunately for the sheep,
its very existence limits its growth.
The handling of sheep in any coun-
| trv requires larger investment in
labor and in improved ranches than
is the case with any other kind of
livestock. This very fact terds to
put the sheep out Of business, as
has been well shown by the develop
ment of this western country. When
the sheep come into land they bring
with them horde of laborers and
require feed and care. which cannot
be given until lands have been de.
veloped to point of high produc.
ton. When this point is reached 9th.
er agricultural industries crowd in
and take the place of tho sheep in
a large measure. That is just what
has settled the west, and many OF
the sections that are now noted fol
the production of wheat and alfalfa
were first developed to supply the de
mand created by the sheep industry

Three Wounded as Result
Of Fight With Indian

About the middle of October an III.
dian named Pixie stole several horses
from ether Indians on the Fort Hall
reservation. The sheriff's office hero
was notified at that time and had
several letters since about the horses.
Of the horses were in the hands Of
the local officers, and it is said that
other animals were stolen by Pixie
and his son Martin. One Of the, hCrs-
es was sold to a man named Landon,
who lives south of town, and an In.
dian came up from Fort Hall little
over month ago and got the horse
from Landon after proving that 1t
was his property.
Pixie is known as bad Indian on
the reservation. and the Indian police
had had him followed for some time.
Finally he was located north of this
city in a camp near the LuxtCn slaugh
|
ter house, where he was staying with
! another Indian and four sQuaws. Tom
LIE Sieur, who is chief of police on
the reservation, came up Saturday
morning to the sheriff's office and
he and Deputy Sheriff Obey secured
rig ard went out to the Indian camp
to get Pixie.
When they got to the camp about
$3.50 o'clock the Indians were cat
ing breakfast. LIE Sieur opened the
flap of the tent and went inside. Boil
Obey heard a shot and saw LIE Sieu1
dive through the front of the tent
and run off into the sagebrush. The
Indian Pixie then came out of the
back of the tent and he ard LIE Sieul

at the front of the tent for Pixie wher
he came out. AS he heard the shoot

PETER G. JOHNS
TON FOR SPEAKER

In the house an interesting fight
for the speakership will be waged
but it is not believed it will reach
the floor of the assembly. It will,
it is predicted, be settled in party
caucus, together with the selection of
house attaches, Peter G. Johnston,
dean of the house, reelected repre-
sentative as the gentleman from
Bingham county, will probably WELD
the gavel in the house during the
coming session. There is many a
slip between the cup and tho lip in
politics, however, and therefore there
is a possibility, but rot probable
ity, that he may not be elected. This
is due to the reason there are two
other out-and-out candidates for the
spcakership. They are Representa-
tive Conner of Bonner and Rerresen-
tative Koelsch of Ada. Eoth are
old members of the house. Represcn.
tative Conner is the northern Idaho
candidate. Representative Jchnston is
the southern and southeastern Idaho
candidate and Representative Koelsch
is the southwestern Idaho candidate.
koelsch seems to be isolated in tho
race, for he is but one of four Repub.
lican mcmbers-elect from Ada county
and all Of the members from surround
