the features Of the business of the city.
H. A. Hubbard has engaged in buying
and selling sheep. Mr.. Hubbard was en-
gagged in this business last year, and every
one who had dealings with him found him
to be an honest and upright man. He will
add strength to the sheep boom.
"A sheep dipping establishment would
pay in this city. and We hope some enter
prising man will take hold Of the matter.
Sheep would sell better and more readily il
relieved Of scab. Every purchaser would
desire his sheep dipped before taking the
feecy animals to his farm or ranch.

Of improved breeds and are in excellent
condition. The flock comprises 1400 head
of ewes and 5000 wethers, from to 4 years

il one that will be profitable to parties Who

sponsible men,
