so far there has been but one head

Justly proud OF this fact for there are
several hundred head Of cattle in this
small territory. which are going
through the winter in fine condition
because they are well fed and cared
for, and then, too, these buttes and
deep ravines afford a wonderful pro.

weather, which makes our locality
ideal for stock raising. We have tie
soil and fine soft water. too, which is
well worth taking into consideration.
