from his sheep ranch in Billings county.
He has 1900 sheep to shear and was
looking for crew to set in at his place

seem to be the usual number of shearers

many shearers have gone to Montana.
At Miles City the buyers claim that
the staple of wool in eastern Montana
has been damaged by the severe
weather of the past winter. Flock
masters of Western North Dakota were
more fortunate in this respect. The
staple of all wool, where sheep were
properly cared for. is in fine shape and
the growers can expect the highest
market price for their clips
The Golden Valley has already
established record for the value of
her land but new mark was set when
w. S. Odenbaugh transferred title to 100
acres to F. E. Near, the price. per acre
being $62. so. This is the record price
so far as known, but even this is liable
to be boosted in the very near future.
The land lays just west of the farm
now owned by Mr.. Near and which he
is laying out in city lots. Beach paper.
