According to figures compiled from
the assessment returns by the Trade
Register, of Seattle, the total number
Of sheep in the state reported for as
sessment this year was SOB, 324, which
is probably considerably less than the
actual number. 1t is estimated by the
superintendent of the forestry reserves
there are now 315, 900 sheep feeding on
the mountains of the Yakima reserve.
San Juan county is credited with 5,377,
which is considerably the largest num-
Der returned from any county in West
ern Washington, the next largest be-.
ing Whatcom, with 1880. For pur-
poses of state taxation sheep are valued
by the state board of equalization at
81 90 each in every county, or only
about one-third of their actual average
value in this county, where good
spring lambs find ready sale now at
so each, and of course full grown
ewes and wethers are worth more.
