Correction of Minutes

Through a transposition in the minutes of the board of supervisors an error was made last week in the report of the clerk and county record CT. The reports should have read as follows:
 The report of the county recorder for the month of December 1915, showing the collection of fees to the amount of S168.05 and treasurer's re- ceipt for the same, was checked with the fee book, found to be correct and same was approved.
 The report of the clerk of the Board of supervisors for the month of Dec. 1915, showing the collection of $70.0O from the sale of hides and treasurer's receipt for the same, was approved.

Going too Far

Little Fred's mother had company, One of the visitors, an old friend whom she had not seen since her mar riage, asked to see Fred. The mother went out to bring the little fellow in.
 Presently the sounds of scuffie in the next room were heard, and the tones of the mother as though re- monstrating with the youngster. Then the shrill voice of Master Fred was heard

Was Among Christians

A traveller who believed himself to be sole survivor of a shipwreck upon a cannibai isle hid for three days in terror of his life. Driven out by hun ger, he discovered a thin whisp of smoke rising from clump of bushes inland. Crawling carefully along the ground to study the type of savages before making his presence known he overheard one of the group say. "Why in - did you play that card ?"
 He dropped on his knees and de- voutly raising his hands cried
 "Thank God, they are Christians"

Paying His Way

In a rural court the old squire had made ruling so unfair that three young lawyers at once protested against such a miscarriage of justice. The squire immediately fined each of the lawyers s5 for contempt of court.
 There was silence, and then an older lawyer walked slowly to the front of the room and deposited $10 bill with the clerk. He then ad- dressed the judge as follow l:
 "Your Honor, I wish to state that I have twice as much contempt for this court as any man in the room"

 Rabies among coyotes and dogs has assumed such serious and alarming proportions that many individuals have already been bitten and others are now suffering in the throes of hydrophobia, caused by the attacks of these mad animals. This does not take into account the heavy loss among horses and colts, cattle and hogs through the same agency. Sheep have not suffered so seriously, owing to the fact that their woody coat pro- tects them to some extent from bites except on exposed surfaces. This situation has become so serious that a conference is now called to be at tended by the various governors and veterinarians in the states in the area mentioned and some action must be taken,
 Should Wipe Out Coyote.
 I would suggest that the sheepmen, although demanding proper legisla- ton, should also take more active part themselves in the destruction of these pests. l would that every stock man should make it his duty to pre- vent the perpetration of fraud in the collection of bounties and at all times and at all places use every effort against the coyote and his kind. By a united effort throughout the entire infested region in few years we will be rid of these pests. If certain localities hold back, it is only mat ter of time until the areas which have been cleaned will again become in- fested.
 cannot but reiterate what l have stated in every address which l have had the honor to make to this body, the necessity of still further regulat- ing our marketing and shipment of lambs, mutton and wool. Through intelligent effort a material increase in early lambs is to be looked for from now on. This production must be safeguarded on the market. If by any means we can establish an approximate even distribution of our lamb prdouct throughout the months of July, August, September, October and November, we will have saved at one period or another throughout this term many hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to the sheepmen.
 More Care In Breeding.
 There is great necessity for more care in the breeding of sheep and, further, need of breeding with more definite ideas in view regarding what we are trying to produce and what the ultimate outcome will be. For this reason l think we should be strong believers in the necessity for the establishment of public ram sales,
 I consider that the unfortunate circumstances which deprived us of the splendid ram sale, of which we were assured here in Salt Lake City last summer, was great misfortune to the industry. It would have been an education in itself, and l trust that the association will not allow the present year to go by without hold ing such a sale. Our flocks can easily be made to yield more wool, if we are wool producers, and more mutton, if we are lamb growers, and l am sure can be made to produce more of both at one and the same time.

Mans AdaptabiIity

It's funny how man whose health is so poor that his wife has to carry the baby when they go out anywhere can walk 15 miles around lodge room with 50 ponds of robes and knick-knacks on him.
The Coconino sun., 1916-01-21
Should Classify Lands.


 l do not want to be understood as claiming that all lands included in the public domain should be leased. l be- lieve, on the contrary, that the pri- mary duty of congress is to first prop erly classify all the remaining public domain. Having done this, l believe that those sectons or areas which shall, after scientific analysis, have been proven better adapted and of greater use for farming should be so dedicated to farming.
 believe that those sections or areas which experience, climate, elevation, soil conditions, waterfall or any other of the divers and diverse conditions which go to make up a successful farming area show are deficient or lacking and it is decreed that they are not suitable for farming, but that such areas are adaptable to the growing of livestock, then they should be conse- crated to the production of livestock. In other words, let us not ruin good livestock area by trying to make a poor farm and a poorer farmer.
 The voice of every livestock man and every farmer in these United States should be united in demanding more strict regulations covering the importation of wool, meats and other animal products. At the present time importation of the articles is un- hampered and, as far as practical re- suits are concerned, uninspected into this country. Proper safeguards must be thrown around such importations not only by reason of foot and mouth disease, but by reason of general sani- tary conditions.
 Danger From Rabies.
 You are all no doubt aware that added to the seriousness of the loss which annually visits the stock in- dustry of the west by reason of the depreciation of coyotes and other predatory animals that at the present time we are facing a serious menace to man himself in the states of Ore
