STOCKMENS'
Loss HEAVY
yunulu I'LL

THE bold field Of rustling has gone
and will never return. said Vernon
Metcalf, secretary OF the Nevada Live
stock Association this morning says
the Reno Gazette. but losses are still
SO large from cattle theft, that con-
siderable part OF the annual meeting
to be held at Reno Friday and Satur-
day will be devoted to attempting to
define legislation to put stop to theft.
Some stock men have estimated
that the cattle industry in Nevada Is
suffering. an annual loss OF close on to
half a million dollars through the
work of the smaller rustler. who cuts
cuts out one or two head, disposes of
the carcasses TO local butcher. or
peddles the meat himself. There are
100000 head of cattle. approximately
In Nevada today. The estimated loss
would show rustlers secure $4,000
head. Figuring at the amount placed
as velue head for taxation. .$32, this
means $4s0.000 lost to the cattle pro-
ducing men of the state.
1.-TWO principal features of the at
tempt to curb this theft will be taken
up in the proposed asking Of new leg
islation to protect the industry. One
will be the changing Of the brand law
SO that instead of brands being reg
istered at county seats, there will be
clearing house of brands at some Gen.
trail point. This will overcome null
tiplicity, and often serious duplica-
ton ofb rands in one general section.
1t will be impossible under this law
to register brands with more degree of
certainty than is now possible, and
enable q closer watch to be kept on
stolen cattle.
"The second desired law will be one
which has already been passed by sew
eral western states. law compelling
slaughterers. retailers and peddlers to
secure licenses of their business. Un-
der the license there should be a pro-
vision compelling them to keep a book
records of all cattle bought, with de-
scription and dates purchased.
with adequate inspection facilities
central point of branding registration
together with q record of cattle bought
slaughtered and sold in the state, q
material decrease should be shown In
rustling activities"
