Show ST. (.l.OKGE C ATTLE CO. Articles of Incorporation of the St. George Cattle Company were filed with the County Clerk last Wednesday. 'The capital stock of the Co. is fifty thousand shares of one dollar each. The officers are IX H. Harder, President; Pres-ident; St. George Wells, Vice-President; and Samuel H. 'Wells, Secretary and Treasurer. The articles show that the company has purchased for ten thousand dollars the "Virgin River Range" with the cattle thoreon April 1st; 235 acres in Washington field and 30 acres in Clara field, The range lies about two and a-half miles east of St. George and extends from Middleton on the north to the Washington field on the south and embracing a large tract of bench and bottom land on both sides of the Rio Virgin river from the Jarvis dam to the town of Washington. The Washington field land purchased by the company adjoins the "Range" on the south and embraces what is known as the "Bastian" Entry and portions of the "Collins" and "Sorensen" Entries, all being under the Washington field canal. The other tract of land purchased pur-chased by the company lies near the south end of the Clara field. With the Articles of Incorporation were filed sworn appraisements of the property purchased by six prominent citizens of the county, bonds of the Directors and several deeds conveying the property in question to the company. H. H. Harder the President and principal stockholder in the company says it is the intention of the company to breed and handle high grade cattle only. "We have within our own fences natural feed for several hundred head of cattle durina: the entire year," said Mr. Harder, "and in addition to this pasturage we have about 80 acres of alfalfa land, some of which will produce in favorable seasons eight tons to the acre. Our land is so located that we fear neither dry nor wet seasons, heat nor cold, cattle rustlers nor sheepmen; all are fenced out, and our pasture is so near town that we are now pasturing pastur-ing about 100 head of town cattle and work horses at $1.00 per month each." Mr. Harder says he has recently investigated in-vestigated conditions with a view to a location throughout the entire south and southwest and is satisfied that his investment could not have been so well made elsewhere, and that it is bound to prove profitable. ii m urn |
