For Grazing Purposes
J. T. Kimball, tb muuKer of the

lie bas reuted the lauds for grazing
to a number of sheep aud cattle men
tn the 'satisfaction of all
parties.
nana Frllir thn Hheen kins seoured
a lease on 51.590 acres in the (Jeabea t
Mouutatus. and expects 10 aeuuro
60,000 or 60,000 more acres iu the
Pokegema forest. j
Inasmuch as the price ot muuou
ia verv low this year. Mr Kimball1
has suggested to Lake County sheep
men that they pool their iuteiesta ou
muttou sheep, aud secure of the
Syndicate an immense tract of graz
ing laud in the Po Kegeuia forest,
for ranging tbe sheep during the sum
mer. By ao doiug, when the time for
shipment is at band, tbe (locks will
be right at the railroad. This plau
will have the sheep in prime condi
tion for market aud will elitniuatA
long dilves.
While Mr. Kimball is not a sheep
mau be feels confident that their
range iu that vicinity will provide
feed for at least 25,000 head.
It is believed tbat the sheep meu
will see tbat it is to their interest to
accept this otter.
