that he informed the writer that
upon his return home he was going
TO arrange to ship a car load of stock

the owner of ranch a few miles
southeast of town which he has lost
no time in improving, and which is
now being cared for by Mr.. l.. +.

put down on the place, the drill go
ing down 335 feet, the well having
a depth of u feet of water and Il
tgasoline engine installed for the
pumping of water Mr.. Sargent being
enthusiastic over the stock problem,
he at once conceived the idea OF
stocking the place, and the following
letter which was received from him
by the writer yesterday, is evidence
that he lost no time in putting his
ideas into effect:
