HERDING ON BICYCLES.
Cowboys Put Upon tho Universal
Bike on q Western Ranch.
Experiment OF II. IL. MOsely 10 Anus.
A0G Ii Not Entirely Successful
What the Aerders
Think OF 1t.

The cowboys on II. b. Mosely's ranch,
enne river, are speeding after their
masters herds on bikes. The COW
ponies are eating their heads OFF In his
barnyard and will not again be called
into service until deep SHOWS render
the use of the wheels impossible.
Cattlemen have always considered
Mosely a crank and dreamer Of dreams.
but they conceded that he had outdone
himself when he resolved to furnish
part of his herdsmen with bicycles in
stead of tough broncos SO characters
tic of the "cow country" Mosely, to
do him justice, never said the expert
ment w ould prove q success. He
simply wanted to see it tried. Wheels,
he confessed, could hardly be used IN
winter nor in cutting time, branding.
roping and turning stampedes. ,
He read some time ago of their intro,
duction into the army, remarked on,
the testimony of the experts, who said
they could 60 anywhere that q horse
could and promptly declared they would
do for work on the ranges If such state
nents were true.
His men say they have actually done
better work in some cases than with
horses. They are of opinion-and Nose
ly agrees with them-that in the long,
run horsefesh discounts them. Still,
the margin between the usefulness Of
the bike and that of the bronco Is not,
a wide one. The former certainly COW
ers more ground In a day than the lat
ter. 1t Is never vicious, never fright,
ened and never strays from the spot
where the rider leaves It no matter how
long may be his absence.
One man who attempted to rope .
steer with the end of his lariat tied to
his handlebar and was incontinently
yanked into an adjoining county says
the experiment Is q fat failure. An
other tried to turn q stampeded herd
and met with poor success. A pony
would have stood its ground while tho
rider got the frightened animals under
control. When the wheelman saw tho
maddened herd bearing down on him.
however, and realized that he would DO
directly under their hoofs II he tarried,
he turned tail without loss Of time and
scorched for safety. To the credit OF
his wheel be 1t said that he quickly
distanced the cattle and escaped harm.
The wheels will probably be aban-,
doned after this season-perhaps sooner
Us their use has been somewhat ex-
pensive, but Mosely says he has had
the full worth of his money in watch
ing the cattle punchers master their
machines and in listening to their COM
ments as they discussed the merits OF

EFFECTS OF THE ENCAMpNENr'

r.
Shall We Make 1t An Annual Affair?
Inc shreveport encampment Of
the First Regiment of the Louisia-
ma State National Guards came to
an end with the close of the al
ternoon of Monday of last week,
and taking it as whole, it was a
very satisfactory affair.
1t must be borne in mind that
Shreveport never attem pied any
thing of the kind before and hence
our people were novices almost
in making the arrangements.
There were nine companies here
besides the artillery companies,
and they number
NEARLY 400 MEN.
The force of men, their equip
ment, tactics and general military
discipline and drill was a sur
prise to many, not the least of
whom-we are told-was the gov
ernor, who telegraphed for Gener-
al Junel and the executives staff
to come to Shreveport that they
might view, personly, the make
up of
THE FIRST REGIMENT.
From what THE PROGRESS could
gather, these all thought that this
regiment was composed of but a lot
of boys who, full of fun and the de-
sire to see and have more, had en-
listed under as boyish officers, for
the main purpose Of having lark.
But all soon discovered that the
officers were men who had full
COMPREHENSION OF THEIR DUTIES
AND POSITIONS,
and, as general thing, the
rank and file was composed of
class of boys and young men who
could be relied on to do a SOL
dier's part and perform a soldiers
service when called on. All went
home with a far better opinion of
the makeup and material of the
First Regiment. Of course there
was bad material in some of the
