In the mountains around the town are moun- tain sheep, During the hard winters these suffer from lack of feed Two or three Wears ago some of the citizens of the town noticed sheep wandering down into, the hills near the town in search of better grazing. Hay was put out for them and the sheep welcomed it. Then more hay was put out and more sheeu welcomed it.
 Now it has become town affair and alfalfa is furnished by the town every winter Another favorite ration of the sheep is the watercress which grows green all winter long around the warm springs in the neighborhood.
 These ale wild sheep, although the se- were weather will bring them right into the town for their forage. on the sum- mer range they are as shy as though they had never seen man.
 The arrangement is not only good for the sheep, but it has engendered in the citizens of Orray personal interest in conservation that they could hardly ac- quire in any other way. The sheep are tfeirs
