HI. InM'ph, MJwoiirl
It' a pleasure to vlalt a city of
TThlch tts Inhabitants are proud,
Ttaat'a St. Joseph. Mo. A beautiful
electric algn on one of the tallest
tulldinga of the city aonouncea to
people far and near, "St. Joseph, the
City Worth While."
Owing to circumstances, St. Jos
eph has not Increased in population
as rapidly as some nearby cities, but
for all that It Is husky, hustling
town and one of the most substan
tial In the west, or anywhere else. It
is la the very heart of one of the
rlcbeet agricultural regions in the
-world. It has long been noted for
Its wholesale business, at the same
time enjoying a fine retail trade.
St. Joseph Is one o.f the Missouri
Tltwr packing centers. While The
Jlsmld cannot at this time give a de
scription or Its packing plants, fine
tock yards, etc., we hope to do no in
some future Issue.
The following is taken from the
city directory, recently printed:
"The population ot St. Joseph
estimated from this issue ot the city
l rectory is 102,000. Thta Is a very
conservative estimate and although
very largely in excess of the last gov
rnnient census, it is due to two
causes: First, because there has
been considerable growth during the
past four years since the census was
taken. Second, because it tak'es in
the extended environments."
A few St. Joseph business houses
are represented In this Issue, and
we can recommend them to the
readers of the paper. In fact, we
jirefer to not advertise for business
houses that we cannot recommend
Persons who have occasion to stay
over night In the city And it to their
advantage to stop at the Transit
House for the reason that they get
o much more for their money than
at the ordinary hotel. The South
St. Joseph or stock yards car will
take you almost to the door of the
hotel.
We wish to also give our endorse
raent to the other two St. Joseph ad
vertisers in this issue, the AnUer
Harness Manufacturing Co. and the
Horse and Mule Market (II. & M.)
Harness Shop, We are confident
from what we have learned of these
establishments that they are thor
oughly reliable and that readers of
this paper who wish to purchase any
thing In their line will do well to
trade with them. Particularly do
we recommend that you write for
their descriptive catalogs and price
lists which they will send you free
of charge.

elsewhere, but In favorable condi

calities but in a far less striking

and regulations there are lists of
books and magazine articles for the
benefit of those who desire further
Information regarding the wonders
of the park.
Uulde to Yellowstone Tark
A comprehensive circular giving
detailed Information regarding the
hotels, camps, transportation lines,
and points of Interest in the Yellow
stone National Park has Just been
Issued by direction' of Secretary
Lane. Travel to the Yellowstone
has been developed to such a degree
that there are listed two lines of
transportation of tourists, a hotel
company operating five hotels, two
ramping companies operating stage
lines and permanent ramps, and five
firms or Individuals catering to spec
ial camping parties. There are de
scriptions of the formations of the
terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs,
the geyser basinB along Gibbon and
Flrehole rivers, and the Grand Can
yon of the Yellowstone. The circul
ar contains interesting notes on the
varying action of the geysers, the
colored pools, and the hot springs.
One of the most remarkable of the
last named is Flrehole Lake, in
which flames seem to appear in the
water. These flames are seen from
only two points, and should the
wind be causing a disturbance of the
water the tourist may not see them
at all. At the eastern end of this
small lake Is a circular opening of a
deep-seated spring, not unlike other
vents of thermal waters. Through
this vent, which usually stands full
of clear, transparent water, numer
ous bubbles of mingled air and super-heated
steam rise gradually. Be
fore reaching the surface they unite
to form one large mass that In its
upward passage strikingly resembles
a flame of fire. This continues un
til the bubble bursts, only to be fol
lowed by a repetition of the phen
omenon. The explanation is that
the slightly agitated water is reflect
ed in the thin film of the ascending
volume of gas. The phenomena are
SHOW IT TO
YOUR NEIGHBORS
Nebraska Iaw Relative to Keg intra
tion of Stock Brands and Uic
KxcltiKlve l'se Thereof
As nearly all Nebraska stockmen
who receive this paper have their
brands recorded in the office of the
secretary of state, as provided by
law, and understand pretty well what
the provisions of the law are, The
Herald requests them to show this
article to their neighboring stock
men who do not have their brands
recorded and who do not get the pa
per, If they have any such neighbors.
There was a time when the law of
Nebraska provided for the recording
of brands by county clerks, and
there are some stockmen who think
this law Is still In force, but it is
not.
Below Is a copy of the law now in
force. After reading It, read the ex
planation following, which gives the
Interpretation that is placed upon it
in the secretary of state's office.
An Act
To amend Section three (3) of
Chapter fifty-one (51) of the
Compiled Statutes of the
State of Nebraska for the
year 1905, entitled "Brands
and Marks" and to repeal
said section as It now is.
Be it Enacted by the Legislature
of the State of Nebraska:
Section 1. Books Record
ing Fees. The Secretary of
State shall, as soon as practica
ble after the passage of this act,
procure a suitable book, or
books, in which all brands and
marks shall be recorded. Each
person desiring a brand, or
mark, recorded as hereinafter
provided, shall pay into the of
fice of Secretary of State, a fee
of $1.50, for recording such
brand, or mark. And every five
years thereafter, the owner of
any recording brand, or mark,
shall pay to the Secretary of
State, the sum of 50 tents, for
the recording of such brand, or
mark; I'KOYIDKD. that nil
brands and marks recorded pri
or to July 1, 1906, must be re
recorded before January 1, 19
08. Section 2. The Secretary of
State shall notify the owner of
any recorded brand by letter on
or before September 1, 1907,
and on or before September 1,
every five years thereafter of the
time for re-recordlng his brand
and any brand, or mark, the
owner of which fails to have
same re-recorded as above pro
. vlded becomes cancelled and
may be used by another. Such
fees, shall, by said Secretary of
State, be turned over to the
State Treasurer for use in the
general fund, and by said Treas
urer be receipted for. Approv
ed April 8. 1907.
Kxplanatlon
A careful reading of the above
will show that the wording of Sec
tion 1 is ambiguous, that is, it is not
quite plain whether the stockman,
in order to hold exclusive legal right
In this Btate to his brands, must
have them re-recorded every five
years from the date on which first
recorded or every period of five
years from some fixed date. Section
2 throws some light on the matter
in defining the duties of the secre
tary of state relative to giving no
tices every five years. Without this
explanation it would seem that If a
man has his brand recorded today,
June 11, 1914, he would not need to
have it re-recorded before June 11,
1919. But such is not the case. If
it were, there would be endless con
fusion or an enormous amount of
unnecessary work In the secretary of
state's office. According to the Inter
pretation that has been put upon the
law by the secretary of state and the
usage adopted, brands must be re
recorded every period of five years
from December 31, 1907. That is
to say, brands now and during the
present five-year period must be re
recorded on or before December 31,
1917.
