Millions of head of cattle are being

In the state there are several large

take up over half of the state and are

All Of the cattle raised IN the state

year the number Of head imported al
FL PasO from Mexico was 12o,S42. These
months time, as the railroads IN the
country were not run for several
months on account Of the internal con-
ditiOns in the country.
During last year the number Of head
Of cattle imported through the Ell PasO
customs port were valued at S1,1S2,-
1850, with the duty collected from
their importation amounting to nearly
100000.
Year 1910 Was Best.
The year 1911 did not equal the re-
vious year when $50 more head were
imported. the total number imported
being 156. 297. This was the banner year
in the history OF cattle impOrtatiOns In

by a large margin The valuation of the
cattle brought in during this period
was placed at S2,219. 323.91, and the

The year 1911 would. without a
doubt have at least equaled this record
of 1910 but for the unsettled conditions
IN the country. In 1910 the Importation
for the year took in a whole II months

that the impOrta lions during this year
would greatly have surpassed the pre-
