In a short letter from Philip

ing the summer at his old home

with a sheepman of Montana,
who gave him considerable in
formation in regard TO stock
raising in that state, the man
stating that he had just mar
keted $4,000 worth of sheep from
his ranch which had scarcely
cost him anything to raise, the
tlocks having had the free run of
the hills summer and winter.
Mr.. Silcher says: 1--WE stopped
at Lahta, Wash, two days, where
many of our Milbank friends are
now located Though the land
near Lahta is not as level as in
Grant county, the people have
no desire to return to South Da-
kota and are we'll satisfied with
their new homes. We have been
having a nice fall and winter.
Once or twice the ground was
covered with frost and the water
was slightly covered with q crust
of ice, but as a whole we are we'll
satisfied with the climate here in
Oregon.
