That act was paMeil inadvertently, for very few members of the legislature knew the real effect of the measure. Wlc n the legislature was called togdh r in December, 1903, to rec- tify^he errors in the general assess- and taxation law, an attempt lade to reinstate the $300 ex ion clause, though in some- different language.

He will list property claimed as exempt in such a way that he can later allow all house hold property as exempt or make the $300 limitation, according to the decision of the Attoney-Genera) or the courts.

The Democrat save: Members of the Development League and local packing house experts nre still enthusiastic over the prospect of the establishment in Baker Citv in the near future of a packing house. In fact there is already quite a pack ing house here and there is local capital sufficient to put it in first- class condition providing the ranchers will turnish enough hogs to keep it busy. This seems to be the only thing in the way from the packer’s standpoint, as it is an easy matter to prepare on the ranch suf ficient cattle for packing fresh beef for shipment to this entire territory instead of shipping the cattle east. It is the beg product for which there is a large demand and a small supply of raw material. Those who have studied the situation be sides the practical packer are con vinced that if the packing house starts up even on a very small scale and takes all the hogs of this dis trict and puts up some beef on the side, the ranchers and farmers as soon as they learn they have a hen.e market where they can sell their hogs at all times at top prices will more generally go into the breeding of hogs, especially since it Wt»<» following property, if owned has been discovered that there are by a householder and in actual classes of alfalfa and other feeds uaa, or kept for use, by and for his which make as good hog meat as or her family; household goods, j grain.
