SADIE'S ' SHEEP AGAIN
iuggestlon That Flanagan's Goat
Methods be Used.
Pierce , Neb. , Jan. 28. Special to
'he News : The controversy arising
ver Sadie's sheep might be settled
ml the sheep industry stamped out
vlthln the corporate limits of Norfolk
y the city assessor taking notes from
ho Flanagan goat episode of recent
cars. It will be remembered that one
"lanagan lived on a street in n city
veil patronized by pedestrians , llav-
ng a couple small children he pur-
based a goat for their amusement but
caving the goat without restrain it
lovoted most of it's tlmo to practicing
lis passtlmo on passcrsby in the
trcet. People soon were obliged to
go two extra blocks to avoid a colli-
ion with his goatship's head. It so
iiippened that one Finnigan ( the city
issessor ) lived farther out on the
amo street. When Flanagan ap-
) earcd at the treasurer's office to pay
ils tax ho was confronted with a llfty
lollar tax to pay on a goat. Raising
great "holler" he was referred to the
city assessor. Flanagan approached
lis Irish friend most audaciously and
demanded an explanation as to why he
required to pay a fifty dollar tax-
on a goat that only cost two dollars.
i'innigan , equal to the occasion , pulled
he law on Mr. Flanagan and read
'property abounding and abutting on
Genoa street shall be assessed at twen-
.y-flvo dollars per front foot , " and clos-
ug his book with a look of , dlsdain ,
Mr. Finnigan remarked , "Now go on
lome and count yez goat's front feet. "
And Another Ode.
And yet another ode to Sadie and
icr sheep has been sent In , without
.lie writer's name :
Miss Sadie had two little lambs ,
With which she used to walk ,
Until the cops of Norfolk
Made such an awful talk.
They said that she should walk alone
And leave the lambs at play
That is , "they" didn't say so ,
I guess 'twas only Hay.
But Sadie says , "It makes no dlff ,
Who made the horrid rule ,
She'll always take the lambs with her
Except to Sunday school. "
This , Sadie says , she don't attend ,
And other lands she'll seek ,
And if they kick on Norfolk Avo.
She'll take them "cross the creek.

Providing for the control of grazing
upon Iho public lands In the arid HtatoH
and territories of the Unltod States.
Whereas there are approximately
four hundred million acron of public
lands which yield no revenue to tin
government or the HtatoH , and Iho larg'
or part of which under prosunt condi
tloiiH IH nol siiltablo for culllvatloir ,
nor located HO Unit It can bo reclaimed
by Irrigation , nor valuable for timber

Whereas there IH no nuthorltatlv <
control , either public or private , ol
grazing upon Iho public lamlH , ami
thlH area Is nol being used to the best
InloroHlH of lhi > people , nor under a
system which secures Its full grazing
value , but Is being lined In a way which
doHlroys to a large extent the turf

Whereas I hero Is no law to proven !

to authorize occupancy thereof , for
which roiiHoiiH no lucent I vo exist H to
protect and Improve the range or lo
oKlabllHh a permanent business there

Hulllng both in IOHH of life and destruc

Whereas lo safeguard their bUHlnoHS
Int'M-eRtH ami Improve both tin- quality
of the slock and the condition of the
range It IH nocoHwiry In many locall-
lioH for stockmen to sccuro the right
of oxcIiiHlve use of the range by fenc
ing ; nnd
Whereas grazing on the public lauds
IH a valuable privilege protected by
federal and stale laws , and therefore
It IH fair and oqiillablo that persons al
lowed a definite use of the public
lands should pay a fair price for Hiich
privilege and for the protection given
them ; and
Whereas H Is essential that homesteading -
steading of those- lauds be encouraged
where practicable by assurance to the
homesteader of reasonable grazing fa
cilities for such number of stock as IH
necessary to consume the products of
his agricultural lands ; and
Whereas the secretary of agricul
ture is already charged with the sani
tary protection of live stock ami Its
movement from one stale to another ,
also with experimental investigations
to preserve and improve the forage ,
and to propagate grasses and forage
plants suitable to Improve grazing con
ditions upon the public lauds , and with
the administration of forest-reserve
grazing lands adjacent to and inter
spersed with the public lands herein
mentioned ; and
Whereas the administration of the
forest reserves by the department of
agriculture under the present system
of permitting grazing thereon protects
the growth of grass and other forage ,
encourages and aids the permanent es
tablishment of the live-stock business ,
thereon , gives such opportunity to the
use thereof as Is most beneficial to
the public , and encourages rather than
retards the establishment of homes
and the permanency of business ; nnd , j
Whereas the application of a similar
system to the grazing of the public
lands is to the public interest : Now ,
therefore. In order to secure the oh I
jects and benefits horeinabovo set
forth , to obtain a revenue from the
use of the nonarable public lands , to
control grazing upon the public range.
