that his left ear wanted scratching, and
he used his right hind foot to do It with.

ing the day and consequently were not to
the south, but must be to the north of the
herd.
Hurry up there" called Lorne. I'VE
must get those cattle before dark" 1t was
almost shutdown by this time and he fear
ed that the stock would escape him alto
gether if he waited for morning.
His fears along this line were unneces-
sary. Louie had no intention of stealing
the stock Every hoof was branded and
could not have been sold in any market in
the nation.
With his companion he had hurried the
1000 head that he had led away from the
main herd and was already a mile or more
up the trail preparing for grand stroke
that should make the Circle Bar men a
good deal of trouble.
III.
On the long trail nothing causes so much
annoyance and often great loss as the
meeting of two herds. The cattle charge
on each other and frequently some lively
fights result More than that, there is
almost sure TO be a stampede, and when
the two herds take opposite directions
there is little chance for milling or con-
trolling the frightened creatures.
So Il happened that as the main herd
went around the edge Of the hlllock, be-
ing pushed as fast as the excited men
could hurry it, there came suddenly to
meet it another herd, that was not for
the moment recognized by Lorne and his
followers.
''Hey, there, stop en-" he cried, riding
toward the front at the fastest pace of his
pony.
"Stop 'em, stop EN-" echoed the herd
ers. But what could be done with 1000
cattle meeting a thousand, all eager for a
mix-up?
Behind the thousand were two yelling
men, Louie and his companion. The stock
fought and the regular herders tried t.
separate the herds, not knowing that they
belonged together. It was growing dusk
and the situation was serious one.
Louie had gone 70 one side and was
watching with satisfaction the melee. Sud
denly the great mass of horns and swing
ing tails gave a lurch in his direction ana
the stampede had commenced. Coming az
him broadside It gave him small chancs
to escape. and he put spurs to his horse
and raced away to the south. On catne
the herd and then to add to his peril the
trusty little pony stepped in a prairie dog
hole and went sprawling on the sod with a
broken leg. In an instant he was out OF
the saddle, but what could he do? The
avalanche was coming.
Lorne hurrying TO the front. saw che
herd start west and caught through the
dusk q glimpse OF a single horseman.
Then he saw, too, the horse fan and fail
10 rise again. Forgetful Of the herd, and
only intent on saving the unfortunate
herder. whoever it might be, he reined his
pony IN that direction.

ON THE LONG TRAIL.
. DesDerateIy Exciting Cattle Drive
Across the Great Plains.

Across the Great Plains.
II was a proud day for Lorne. the young
,oren,an Of the Circle Bar ranch, when he
started on his first drive with a her OF
smO cattle for the Northern shipping
point.
II was his orders to take the herd to st.
louis and pass through the Ozark noun
,,ins or foot hills. The herd was tractable
srring the earlier days of the course, but
as the cattle went on they became more
nervous. and It was with difficulty that the
borders could keep them within the lines
Of the nightly roundup.
Once when they had been compelled to
ride constantly around the herd from even
,rp for into the night Lorne went to the
head of the herd to see what was the dis
turbing cause.
As he sat on his horse, he heard the call
Of a wolf off to the right, answered by
another from the left. Something about
the sound was unnatural and he listened
closeIv. Again they came, and soon there
pas a second movement among the cat
Ve-something had been thrown into the
herd to startle them.
He knew then what was the matter
someone was annoying the herd to make
him trouble But when daylight came he
could see nothing of the disturbers, and
again he waited for night. He took his
own position far on the outskirts that
night and waited for developments. Soon
there was another wolf call; then another,
then whizzing sound and another move
ment of the cattle. He rode furously at
the point where he thought the sound
originated and was not surprised to catch
a glimpse of a dark form which he took
to be a man on horseback
Halt" he cried, "or I will shoot you!"
There was no stopping. Faster and fas-
ter he rode and gained on his annoyer.

Then before he was aware of what was
happening he was seized from behind and
went rolling to the ground, a lariat coiled
around him having jerked him from the
saddle. 1t had not caught over his head
and his second assailant went rushing
past and away before he could regain his
feet.
But not quick enough for the rider to
escape notice, and one glance at the stoop-
ing shoulders and the long hair told Lorne
who it was-Louie, the Mexican, who had
been discharged when Lorne went to work
hrst on the Circle Bar
But there was enough to look after at
the other end of the line. The cattle start
Ied more than ever by the noise, had start
ed on stampede and were racing toward
the East at the top of their speed, the her
uers doing all in their power to stop them,
but with out effect
The plan of the herders was TO ride on
the edge of the leaders of the herd, and
ny sWerVing them eventually run the
whole lot in a circle so that 1t would tire
user out. Lorne Joined in the ride, and
Herce and fast was the racing for hours.
over miles of rough plain, broken here and
mere by ravines, they went. Sometimes
lhe horses stumbled and a rider was
Nrown headlong on the grass. Then he
"ould PICK himself up and make the race

Saginaw, Mich. March 2S.-In the forest

miles of the busy city of Saginaw. there
are stil to be found many quaint little
settlements of the Ojibwa Indians, some
times called Chippewas, in which they live
in a primitive fashion. only partially mod

THE people of Yuba and Suffer
Counties are anxiously waiting for the
work to be extended to their section, so
as to improve conditions on the Yuba,
Feather and Bear Rivers, and have gen.
erously refrained from asking that at

properly provided for, and they will be
very happy to learn that some progress
is to- be made in continuing the work

1.-The national authorities have always
contended that the people living in sec
lions traversed by rivers have expected
too much of the Federal Government in
the matter of river Improvement, and
that there remained large amount of
work to be done by the State or pri-
vate enterprise, or both, to make the
work of river reclamation complete.

eminent extends no farther than to
preserve the river for the needs of navi-
cation, and to enable it properly to

ent offer; but it is contended the work
of preventing floods is no concern OF
the Federal Government, but must be
left to other agencies. With the State
appropriation available increased navi-
gability may not only be secured. but
the flood line of the river may be ma
terially reduced and permanent protec-
ton be afforded to the adjacent lands.
"That Sacramento City is vitality in
terested in the improvement Of the
river, none will question. The knowl-
edge that we are safe from floods is
not only essential to our prosperity, but
even to her existence, as the memory
of the past still hangs over us, and
where there is no confidence in city s
safety there can be no prosperity.
Besides, the river makes this city a
terminal point and enables us to COM
pete as wholesaler, benefit that
would be denied to US if we should lose
the advantage that we now possess,
while improved facilities for carriage
of freight by water is bound to add to
our growth"
