Park has been in corres pondence for some time with the Fort Morgan (Col.) sheep feeders with a view of getting some of them to establish feeding yards in the Platte valley west of town. The .matter was later referred to and taken up by the Union Pacific freight department and this week an expert was sent here to investi gate the facilities, offered by this section of country. The expert drove through the valley from this city to Sutherland, and while he was highly pleased with what he saw, he was not prepared to recom mend it as a sheep feeding section solely because there was not suffic ient alfalfa grown to supply the needs of big flocks. With this ex ception,, he found conditions favor able, and said that if the farmers would raise more alfalfa there would be no difficulty in securing sheep feeding yards. This is a matter which the farmers of the irrigated section should more fully investi gate and ascertain if it would not be a good move for them to raise more alfalfa and secure feeding, yards, which would mean a home market not only for their hay but for their. grain as well. wi Chamber Suit of FOB TEjST DOLLAES? - I presume you would.

Was it because that this $2,000 was due to the mayor and his fellow officials that the law could be ignored. There was no trouble about this part of the indebtedness being paid, but the merchant who credi ted tire city lor merchandise and the laborer for labor could not be paid, but are put off with an indef inite promise, that sometlnrig will ie done in the future.
