100000 SHEEP
viii be Shipped out of the Valley this Season
over the Central

That the sheep industry will bring lar
ger sums of money into the valley than
any other industry is not doubted by any.
The shipments to date have been large
and it seems the same has just begun.
This week w. E. Stone has taken 400
lambs north which he purchased of Boni-
ia Garcia. Snyder & Roedinger on
Thursday shipped 21oo, which were
bought by Louis Trauer for them in this
neighborhood. Hon. Solomon Luna has
$4,000 here which are being loaded for
shipment direct to Kansas City via Ter
rance. He will have about $4,000 more
soon.
Assistant General Manager GrimshaW
has estimated that the Central will move
not less than zoo, 900 sheep this fall This
will mean something more than $4,000, 900
brought into the valley from this source
alone. Not bad income.
