moving in continuous procession along
the highways and wagons groaning un-
der the weight of the brown colored
wool sacks, with which they are load
ed. Over a million pounds of wool has
been shipped from Holbrook annually
for over thirty years. Buyers from
the east come every spring and pur-
chase the clips, either at the shearing
pens or when the wool reaches the
railroad.
During the last few years both wool
and mutton have sold at enormous
prices. Wool has brought from fifty
to sixty cents pound delivered at the
railroad. The average sheep will
shear from eight to eleven pounds of
wool. Spring lambs have sold for
about fourteen cents a pound, with
an average weight of from sixty to
seventy-five pounds each.

WINsLOW

Winslow is the metropolis not only
of Navajo but of northern Arizona as
well. 1t has population of nearly
five thousand progressive people, and
is situated in the western part of the
county on the Santa Fe railroad, be-
ing the end of the second division of
the coast lines. One of the largest
round-houses in the western states is
located here, furnishing employment
for large number of machinists and
their helpers. The place is essentially
a railroad town and is alive with peo-
pie engaged in the movement of trains.
One of Fred Harveys' famous hotels
and eating houses is located here for
the accommodation of the travelling
public.
The semi-monthly payroll of the
railroad and shops makes the business
Of the town exceptionally good and
supplies the two banks with large de-
posits. The last few months have been
very prosperous for the workmen of
the town, as the increase in their
wages under the government admin

to swell their bank accounts, but, like

The range soon became over-stocked

the number the country would support
1t is estimated that the county is now
supporting nearly hundred thousand

good grade of Hereford and we'll cared

lings at an average price of $685. The

In order to more fully explain the
fitness Of the country for cattel rails
ing we will call the attention of the
reader to the various kinds and quail

ance of the stock. 1t is eaten by them
in preference to any other 1t cures
better, the stock retaining more of its
substance, and lasts longer into the
following year than any on the range.
1t is not readily tramped out, stands
the drouth well, and on ranges where
it has entirely disappeared on account
of long dry spells and overstocking,
it at once comes out again when the
rains are plentiful. There are two
more varieties, having the same quail
tiles, which do not grow in such abun-
dance. Next in value comes the buffa-

gamma, but not so plentiful The pine

bluat such times live and thrive on the
brush.
These rich grazing lands furnish ex-
cellent feed for the cattle and render
the business very profitable when
properly conducted.
The elevated table lands, we'll wat
cred as they are, and exempt from the
summer heat of the lower attitudes,
furnish an ideal summer place for
ranching. The lower attitudes furnish
a good winter range. Losses from bliz-
yards and cold weather are unknown
