after an absence from home of about a
month The roundup began at Three
Mile and ended at Ranch 63 st the
head~ aters Of the Platte in North
Park, the distance travelled being about
one hundred and fifty miles Part Of
the time there were two chuck wag-
ons and the participants of the drive
had no complaint to make in relation
to their commissary, although the SER
vice was hardly up to the standard
maintained at Kinsley's or Delmon-
icos
The spring roundup is the most i'm
portant OF the year as the calves are
branded and other work done which is
conspicuous py its absence in the fall.
A lot Of hard riding and exposure is
inseparable from these round.ups, but
in spite of the hardships incidental to
such trips the drivers extract great
deal of pleasure from them, or at least

titles him to speak with authority.
