In 1873 Dennis Dyer came from
Grande Ronde Valley, bringing with

this small beginning by frugal indus

VIM. O'BrleD, now living near the
mouth of the Malheur river, one OF
the pioneer Indian scouts and sue
cessfnl cattle raisers, was visited by
his sister, Miss Ellen O'Brien, in the
autumn of 1880. An acquaintance
soon sprang up between the young
lady and Mr.. Dyer that materialized
in life long friendship of matri,
mony.
In 1885 they settled on the place
now occupied by Otto Stroble, about
one mile below the Weiser Ferry,
where they lived and baffied the
hardsmps OF pioneer life. Mrs
Dyer was often left alone for months
at time while the men were on th'

trouble, and fear of sudden molesta

The name 'Dead Ok Flat was
given to it by some tesmsters in
1864, who we're freighting from Um-
atilla Landing to Boise Basin. They
made dry camp near the Bert Pill
grim homestead and turned the oxen
out to feed and water The oxen in
feeding during the night were pois-
oned by weed known as larkspur,
and were found dead in the morning
near slough in s. w. Applegate's 3
present feld. The name adopted by
the teamsters has since specified this
section Of country.
In the early '70's M. A. Jacobson,
prominent fruit grower of Payette,
settled on place at the mouth of
the gulch, which how bears bis
name
Moore's Hollow received its name
from the fact that man by that
name went through this hollow with
an OK team and wagon in the early

range of their ''Great Ranch" in
cluding the territory from Mslheul
Butte to Old's Ferry was gradually
taken up by. the settlers, thus reduc-
ing the extent of grazing and limit
ing the industry. No doubt they
may have felt little hard toward
these new corners.
John P. Applegate lived on Mon
roe creek and run his cattle on the
Dead Ok Flat, being present and
riding during the round up.
Samuel H. Applegate moved his
family in 1884 from the Applegatt
ranch on the Payette river to hil
present place on Dead Ok Flat where
he now resides. Mr.. Applegates in

irrigated Under Government Systematic Ups Downs
the Sturdy Pioneer-How it Derived it's Name y !. X

The earliest settlers that located
on Dead Ok Flat were the Applegate
brothers, which consisted of James
c., John p, and our most esteemed
neighbor "Uncle Sammie." They
crossed the plains from Indiana in
1853 and took up their permanent
residence at Douglas county, Oregon,
where they gradually drifted back to
BOISE Basin and participated in the
great boom of '64. Cattle raising
was the principal industry of their
various occupations. They located
on the Payette river below Falk's
store IN the latter SOS, and laid the
foundation of their future career as
stockmen.
In the spring of 1871 they moved
their cattle to the Dead Ok Flat
country. James Z. did most OF the
riding, and located al what is now
known as Mosquito He was assisted
by his brothers in the general "round
up"
James was known by all of the
early pioneers for funny stories and
Jokes. His various stories and good
natured ways lead to the naming OF
his ranch, The "Game Cock. y
This place was the headquarters fol-
the round up, and travellers always
found hearty welcome, and the
latch string hung ont to all who
chanced to be passing. James Ap'
plegate died of asthma, and is buried
near Falks Store.
Their prosperity as cattle raiserf

to understand that an animal, to
bring the good prices desired by the
seller, must have something more
than weight and fat. The good cat
tie are in demand and the buyers
compete with each other in bidding
for them. But when they get to the
rough cattle 1t is different. These do
not catch the eyes OF the buyers and
in buying that they evince when
bidding for the other animals. The
easv sellers are high grade, which
means that they show in their con-
formation and coloring much blood
from some one of the accepted beef
breeds. The really good cattle do not
comprise one-tenth of the total mum.
Der going to the yards, 1t not in
frequently happens that a farmer
takes a bunch of steers to market and
works hard TO sell them, but finally
gets for them only about one-half the
price he expected to receive. Profes

buyers value the cattle largely accord

blood is dairy blood, in which case
