THE CENTRAL RIO GRANDE VALLEY 



lished near Domingo, by the Domingo Lumber Company with ojffices in 

 Albuquerque. Large tracts of saw timber in the Jemez region are also 

 held in land grants and private ownership, most of these tracts being 

 held for higher prices. They will furnish the timber supply of the region 

 for the future. The Rio Grande Tie and Timber Company is another 

 corporation operating to some extent in Sandoval county, although its 

 timber lands lie chiefly in Rio Arriba county to the north. The logs and 

 hewn ties are driven down the Rio Grande at flood time to Domingo, the 

 sliipping point. The first big drive was made during the flood season 

 of 1908.
