Representative II. ], Overtuff of Bend,
himself representative from a great
sheen district, was the only member OF
the house to have courage to fight and
vote against Strayer's S. b. 76 providing
that the sheepherder shall have prior
lien for money due him for services,
Overtuff felt that in view of the heavy
loans made by bankers to help finance
the sheep industry under unfavorable
market conditions, the bankers holding
mortgages on the sheep should be noti-
fed when a herder had lien against
the sheep. especially as herder's lien
might eat up a considerable part of the
value of the sheep or wool, Represen-
tative Woodson stated that the filing OF
the lien was notice enough, and that In
Justice to the herders the law should be
restored to what it was years ago, when
their service liens were ahead of any
and all other incumbrances. This con-
tention was aggressively supported by
Representatives Martin, Davey and
Carsner, the house passed the bill by q
vote of 54 to and has been approved
by the governor. Mr., Overtuff was the
only negative, the absentees being Ben
