welfare board.
Reese returned Friday morn

If the residents of the north strip,
including Short Creek and Mt.

his expectations he found the sheep
lack of food and exposure.
The Mt. Trumbull district has
been isolated for more than
month thought snow plows have
reached within - miles Of there.
In this region alone more than 40,-
900 sneep are grazed and 5000 have
perished, more from freezing to
death than from lack of food, Mr..
Reese reports.
Large loads of pelts are being
sleded out from the stricken Sheep
camps, an affort the graziers are
making to save what they can from
the wintry blasts.
Weather as cold as 40 below
zero was reported to Reese, Little

bird shot. No complaint was filel
