4. Bear Raised bY a Goat.

The bear that figures in the story
was known as Jack, and he belonged
to Lewis Ford, who formerly owned a
goat ranch high up on the Cerro Col
orado Mountain. overlooking the
lovely valley of the San Joaquin.
Ford found the bear when it was a
cub, soft, round, shining and black.
Being wifeless, childless and alone, he
adopted the tiny cub, and carried 1t
home. Once there, Ford soon found
that foster mother must be provided
for the infant, and so a frightened,
trembling, bleating she goat was
brought to the house to take the place
of the parent be SO missed. 1t was
only after much combined force and
persuasion the goat could be induced
to adopt as her own the unkidIike or.
phan placed in her care. But the
time came when foster mother and
foster child were as happy and cor.
tent in their relations to each other as
if the sight of a nimble.tootea blue
haired ''nanny" sucking q clumsy
black bear cub was of the most ordi-
nary condition of affairs.
The bear, which was named Jack,
waxed fat on goats milk; and more
docile, tractable beast never grew up
under the guardianship OF humane
and loving master. In the earlier
days of his adoption the baby was a
baby in truth. He would not be left
alone. And it would have been har.
er heart than Ford's that could have
resisted the pitiful whimper OF the
little fellow whenever he thought that
he was to be left alone within the
house. Had there been any to see it
in those days they would have wit.
messed strange sight. The great,
broad.shouldered man following his
Aock as they grazed on the bunch
grass-sometimes five or six miles
from homeland as he walked tho
steep mountain side, where it was so
almost perpendicular that it seemed
that only the goats themselves could
gain foothold on the rocks, be car.
ried the cub in his arms.
When Jack grew older he was trained
to herd the goats. Previously q mum.
Der of dogs had helped Ford, but the
bear and the dogs could not agree,
and so the dogs had to go. Jack took
their place well, and they were never
missed. For several years the bear
continued to help Ford, until the lat.
ter sold his ranch and prepared to 20
to his old home in Europe. Then
number OF his neighbors tried to buy
the bear. Ford refused to sell him.
and said that il he could not take
Jack with him ne would not 90. The
difficulty about shipping the bear was
overcome, and now he and his master
are living contentedly in the old coun.
try, enjoying the fruits of thir long,
lonesome stay in the California noun.

Back in 1870 Cheyenne was just commencing to show up as an important ca tile shipping point, and for handling a car load of cattle the 300 miles from there to Omaha, $225 was the rate, as against $65 at present. Some cattle were shipped from Ogden to Omaha, the rate being $525, as against $125.1S now. North Platte was an important stock shipping point, the rate to Omaha being $50, against $43 now It will probably seem Strange to many of the freight men today that at that time the rates were tl1e same upon stores and live stock, while lumber rates were about three times as high as at pres ent Conductors and engineers were posted not to endeaycr to haul exc9: ding ten loaded cars in one train, except by special permission, and general and sta- tion agents allowing more than ten tons loaded in freight car were sure of their discharge.
