 In a letter recently received from one of our patrons of Navjo county, Mir. C. F. Perkins, he says: Grass is starting finely horeahouts, and cattle are bagin-- ming to pick uD. They look pretty hard, though, yet, and a good many have died along the Little Colorado river during the past winter and spring.

 Cattle are gold; at least the uniniatcd novice on tle outside would be led to believe such was the case. Owing to the lateness of the sale last week, the News failed to mention the purchase of J. c. Pheian, the butcher, from William Lee, the stockman, of thirty head of yeal!ings at $40 per read. It is report ed that buyers through the southern part Of the territory have been around offering from $l5 to SIS per head for yearllngs, but when Pheian pays $40 per head and dossu't stop 60 ask ques- tions. it's enough to take the taste out of the mouth of the fellow wanting to buy and give the fellow selling taste that he is glad to be in the business-- Williams News,

 The cattle returned to the 3sessor by the Hampton Caytle Co. for 1S3O, amount to the magnificent sum of 1000 head, while at the same time the Gounty has judgments from the district and supreme courts for taxes on l5, ,000 head of cattle owned by the sADle tpinpdAy. Of course the company itta &;llppei large number of cattle each years, but the number shipped will not equal the numb Der of the increase. The duty of the board of equalization is plain in re- gards to this company. The number of their cattle should be raised to an equal amount against which judgment has been rendered by tne courts. And the Ha!npson Ca!t!e Go. is not the only one in the county that should be raised, by any lneans.-Graham Guardian.
