The country over which the j.nrtv
traveled i one of the fiiieat stock
ranges m the- west and for mile
one can look over vaat fields of the
very best bunch grass that ever
grew. Tho reason for this is that
there is no water, but it would seem
an easy mutter to get water by
sinking an artesian well. No doubt
nut a good supply of watef could
