GLENDALE NOTES.
Over a Thousand Head of Cattle
Shipped this Week.

GLENDALE, May 8.
Railroad business has been unusually
brisk this week. Besides the regular
shipments of hay, Strawberries, etc,
over 1000 head of cattle have been
shipped to points in Kansas. Sullivan
aud Mills shipped II cars Thursday,
principally from the Alkire herds. Sew
eral mure train loads will be shipped
next week and we understand that
about 5000 head from the other New
River ranges have been purchased and
will be shipped from here soon. Jerry
Sullivan is here experimenting the
shipments. A great many of the cat
like the proverbial ssrdine, and speak
moro eloquently than words OF the
poverty of the New River ranges. These
ranges have been overstocked and the
extensive shipments now 10 progress
will ALLOW them to recuperate.
Considerable hay has been shipped
the past week, though great deal
moro would have gone out bu5 for tie
scarcity OF cars. Orders have eccnmu
ated for half dezsn cars for imroe
diats shipment To dis,nterested
observer it looks as Though the railroad
needed u ore rolling stock.
The Improvement Company is prepar-
iug to begin shipment Of eprieots next
week. A car Of box material will ar
rive in few days and workmen are
busy erecting sheds for the packers
and boxmakers. The fruit promises to
be of better quality thar last year
and a conservative estimate places the
amount to be shipped at about twelve
cars, though it will probably exceed
that. Mr.. Eastwood, from Fresno,
Cal, will superintend the packing and
shipping of the fruit. The grepe men
have not yet decided to chip any green
grapes and whether they do or not
probably depends upon how the apri-
cot shipmente pan out.
