WESTERN SLOPE SHEEPMEN
FACE HEAVY LOSSES

Montrosc Press
The sheepmen are facing heavy
losses unless the scabies can be ex-
terminated, according to DIR. Mitchell,
government sheep inspector, who ad-
dressed the last meeting of the West
ern Slope Wool Growers Association
here after he had quarantined several
of the largest herds of sheep in the
county because of the presence of
scabies.
Precautionary methods are being
taken by DIR. Mitchell in preventing
the spread of the scabies. One herd
of more than 5000 sheep which he in
spected showed only one sheep affect
ed with scabies, yet he compelled the
owner to dip each sheep twice before
he would give him a clean bill of
health, which is necessary now before
shipment can be made. All dipping
costs twelve cents per head, and the
loss of the growers is heavy.
At the meeting $4,000 was also con-
tributed towards the continuance of
the campaign in this section against
the coyotes who proved such a men
ace to the sheep. George N. Trickle,
field superintendent of prdatory ami
NAL control, stated that more than
700 pelts and furs were held by the
association now, and that he estimat-
ed since the campaign started two
years ago, that at least 5000 coyotes
had been killed and trapped. Each
member of the association contributed
two cents head for the purpose.

fictitious. this fact could easily have
been shown In a court OF law by
bringing my clients before a court
and allowing the Judge to appoint
three reputable physicians to act
with the health commissioner in
examining them, to determine their
true condition. What was tho
health department fearful OF?
IL the health commissioner was
right his own brother physicians
would sustain him. and my clients
could not complain then. because
their hearing before a court ana
the judicial investigation and deg
termination OF the fact (discaseY

their quarantine was right and
proper. the question would have
been settled on a sound legal basis.
and ] would have been compelled
to make a public admission that I
was wrong in taking my clients
into court The fact that these
scared stiff for fear that my clients
would get a hearing before the
court and expose the conspiracy
and cussedness is sufficient reason
TO convince any fair minded per-

There was just one hope for the,

that was to keep my clients out Of
court and deprive them OF thcs
equal protection of the law, and
from having their actual physical
condition aseertained and testified
to by reputable physicians. All
their energies were bent to this
nefarious purpose.
After hearing the petition pres
