! A meeting of between 40 and so OF the
prominent cattlemen who are interested
directly or Indirectly in the drift fence
question now so prominently before the
public in eastern New Mexico was held
in Carlsbad, and a strong petition signed
to be sent to Washington.
I M. w. White came through Carlsbad
from Arizona last week with Is head Of
saddle ponies, II head of which he dis
posed of to Lynn Scott. He left the
ella river about July 16 and states that
for 300 miles west of Deming the coun-
try was hot and dry and not enough
grass to feed a sparrow. Rain is re-
ported to have fallen since. though more
than half the stock has persisted.
David Welch, of Ozona, Tex, is en-
route through Eddy county for western
Socorro county with 1000 sheep. He
dipped them at Carlsbad. The sheep
belong to E. Fl. Elmendorf, of Santa Fe.
The sheep are in five flocks and the out
fit consists of three wagons and Is men
and travel on an average of four to five
miles each day, having been two months
on the road from San Ange.o. Nj
Welch is an old time sheep maj and
will take his flock up the Pecos to Ros-
well, thence by the south side of Captain
mountains to Nogal and across the
country to Socorro and the western part
OF the county, where he expects to ar
rive about the latter part of November.
81 far the loss in the flock has been
very light. Mr. Welch drove a flock of
sheep from California 25 years ago and
travelled over the same route he is now
going to Socorro county.
