on Thursday of last week to Mrs. Chris

his suit to a successful end. Mrs.

tract with the Southern Pacific Com.

river near Elburz and embracing all the
company's land west of Carlin. aggre-
eating about 21S,0O0 acres. paying .
sum close on to $500 for 1912.
As the company owns each alternate
section, this gives the stockmen prsc-
tically double these figures, or 436 900
acres. an immense tract of land. This
action on their part has been made
necessary by the restriction Of the pub
lie range, and the increased number OF
sheep that has yearly been driven into
f ko County for the Summer grazing.
This territory will be used only for
horses and cattle. and sheep going to
the northern ranges will be compelled
to follow the main road. travelling
through without feeding.

shows that there is a good deal in
