The asseasor's figures ahow that there are 385.725 acres of tillable land in Vmatllla county, and 50*.444 acres of land that are non-tlllable There are 491.15 miles of railroads, telegraph and telephone lines. Fmatllla is known as a stock grazing region, There are 9887 mules and horses. The cattle amount to almost twice the number of mules and horses, while the sheep are almost 170,000 strong. It will be noticed that the total amount of real estate in 1904 Is con- siderably above that of 1903. But there is a falling off In personal prop- erty.
