OVER 60,000 SHEEP HELD IN VALLEY
 
Migratory Sheep Run Into Big Figures On the Payette Slopes
 
F. W. Griep, deputy assessor, arrived home last Saturday from the upper valley 
where he has been busy for some time assessing migratory sheep.  He reports 
that more sheep than usual are being wintered on the Payette slope and that he 
has assessed twenty-six bands on the Emmett bench averaging 2000 head.  On 
this side of the river there are about 12,000 being grazed in the valley.  Mr. 
Griep still has several bands to assess in the same section that are not 
included in this number.  There are also several big bands just east of 
Fruitland in the Willow creek country on the east side of the Payette river 
which will be assessed by other deputies.
