Fourche during 1909. This is 300 more
than last year, due to the sheep ship
ped. Four years ago there were a few
cars scattered throughout the year.
Last year there were 154, and this
year 300. Many cattlemen are alleged
to have sold their stock and gone to
raising sheep. The price this year
ranged from q to 25 cents a pound
for wool; the higher price being paid
towards the close of the season. Buy
ers are now in the Hills trying to con-
