BETTER LAWS AGAINST DOGS
NEEDED TO PROTECT SHEEP

Although as States have dog laws
designed to protect sheep, many OF
them are 20 poorly planned OF 20
poorly enforced that dogs still DO
much damage TO flocks, especially
in the farming states where floeks
are small and dogs are plentiful
There j. need for improvement N
these laws. but, says the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
a poor law that Is enforced with
energy may produce better results
in shep conservation than a much
better Law that Is not enforced.

Wells Good First One Would Yield Income

Aside from its single producing well, which
has tapped the rich second sands and is pro-
ducing 800 barrels Of oil per day, the inside acre
age Of the Golden West is undeveloped. But
this well proves the property. It also proves
Golden West holdings, and demonstrates, in my
judgment, that Golden West will become another
big producer with the completion Of additional
wells. The character Of its oil is most encour-
aging. While the market price Of Cat Creek

In my judgment Golden West stock is the
best Of the Cat Creek offerings. Here follow my
reasons: There are only three independent oil
companies, after the Standard Oil, holding any
considerable acreage in the inside proven acre
age of Cat Creek. They are the Homestake, S.
Petroleum and Golden West. The Homestake,
with less than 100000 two years ago, has de-
veloped a property worth perhaps $3,000,000.

selling at $500, eighty cents over the ordinary
price. What if we should bring in 10 producing
wells, as we have every reason to hope for, and
each Of these wells should prove 800 barrel
producer? That would be 5000 barrels Of oil
per day. At s. per barrel this oil would sell for

Miss Whitney Atteads
Miss Jessamine Whitney Of New
York, chief 'statistician of the Ma
tional Tuberculosis sanatorium,
was present and talked on the tu-
berculosis work that is being done
throughout the country. She said
the cutting of the death rate from
tuberculosis in half in the Is years
of organized health work was large
~ the result of the combined efforts
of the association in organizing san
atoria, open-air schools, clinics and
in employing public health nurses.
and doing general educational health
work.
Miss Whitney visited the hospital
at Fort Harrison in the afternoon.
and in the morning she held q con-
sultation with Director Henry of the
section for the state
board.
The great need at the majority of
the sanatoria throughout the coun-
try, according to Miss Whitney and
Mr.. Henry, is for workshops where
the patients may, under medical SUI
pervision, be taught trades that will
be suitable for them when they have
been discharged from the sanator-
ium. The patients would work for
a few hours a day, and this hard
ening process" would enable them to
compete with the average workman
on leaving the sanatorium. AS con-
ditions now are, the first year after
patients discharge is the most diff
ficult, but II workshops we're run in
connection with the medical treat
ment, the patients would gradually
be able to resume their work.
