Not far west of Sherman the Lara

grazing country in the world; avail

If going farther west, we find next
in Carbon County, near Rawlins and
Fort Steele, excellent graziug lands.
In the vicinity of the latter place,
along the North Platte the facilities
for raising cattle, horses aud sheep
cannot be eNeelled. From forty to
fifty miles south of Rawlius the val-
leys Of the Snake River form the
most desirable grazing grounds This
country lies between the Wahsatch
and Snowy Range of mountains, at
an altitude of about $500 feet, and il
watered by the Snake River, Savior's
Fork and the Big Muddy and its
! several branches. We find there
valleys from two to seven milesWide,

Leaving the Platte, the grazing IS
found only in patches up to Green
River, 1888 mikes west of Cheyenne,
where at no great distancesfrOm the
railroad, and in a safe country, tho
grnzing lands reappear and continue
westward through the Territory to
Utah, interrupted occasionally by
large, barren districts. The valleys
of the Green River and its tributa-
ries, Blacks and Hams Forks, form
fine grnzing lands. IAN through thfs
region, westward beyond the thriv-
ing town of Evanston, the great coal
and timber region of Wyoming,
