Mr.. o. Longtin Of Olga, called on us
Monday and subscribed for the CoUR-
that he could
now afford to do SO as he was on the
fair road to prosperity by sheep raising.
Mr. Longtin has had remarkable in
crease in his flock which five years ago
consisted of but one eve. His flock
new numbers thirty, out of this he sold
four last year and four the year before,
and the wolves took five. He now con-
siders his flock worth $50 and will as
a matter of course almost double in
value each year. Mr.. Z. says he can
take a hundred sheep and make more
money than he can out of an equal
number Of acres Of land growing wheat.
The following is the result by pre-
cinct as far as heard from, Of the elect
ton held on Tuesday, May 20. 1891.
