The Welling Reeve, to justify a raise in taxes in the south, arguo'd that two acres of th1© ridge land? was worth one in Celling. That reminds us that Ed.

Talking with Mr. E. Rothe who acres south of Cardston and who has had sheep on the reserve for a number of jsears he told us he had to dispose of his sheep as he had no place to summer them. Most stock men have been put off the reservation and because of high taxes most grazing land has been put under the plow. Mr. Rothe said that this year the butchers of Cardstor. had to import beef during the threshing season as they were unable to procure any.
