$4,000 SHEEP SENT
TO NAVAJO COUNTY

Because of the extended drought
and the resulting poor condition of
the stock ranges in this section
of Arizona the Wilkins sheep out
fit has shipped from about $4,000
head of sheep to the Holbrool coun-
try for fall grazing. The sheep
were loaded at Yeager and included
sd cars, the last leaving there Tues
day.
The Holbrook country has received
general rains at the right time this
season, and the ranges in that dis
trict are in good condition, accord
ing to reports.
The drouth last winter and this
summer has resulted in many nearly
permanent waters drying up, Off
cials of the Prescott forest stated to-
day. Springs are dry that have had
water since the extreme drouth of
1904. One stockman has found it
necessary to install a gas engine and
pump water to 800 head of cattle,
and the congestion around the few re-
naming watering places has caused
cattle and sheep to fall off rapidly.
Not few of the stocImen are
losing a considerable number of cat
tie, which are dying because of the
shortage of grass and water, accord
ing to reports coming in from the
ranges. Unless there is general pre-
cipation within the next 10 days or
two weeks, many stockmen who do
not move their herds to better ranges
will suffer heavy losses, it is said.-

In the meantime II he wanted to get
