flee, Lewis Welt, who has gone
into the cattle business near Bel
videre, writes that it has been
very dry there since they moved
out there, but some crops were
raised at that of good quality,
especillay alfalfa. There are
cracks in the ground which are
dangerous to cattle, as it may step
into them and be crippled. Lewis
also writes that he is having a
hard time getting water and is
running short, aud is compelled
to drive his cattle a mile and a
half down the river to water them.
He is boring another well, but has
poor prospects of getting sufficient
water.
