THE WESTERN "CAYUsE."
Once FIouted Outcast OF tire Range
Is Now .Iionized.-

Is Now "Lionized."
The Caldwell News says of the
uses OF the cayuse horse of the west,
which is now being 'lionized" in east
ern cities:
Five years since all the western
railroads demanded prepayment or a
good guarantee of freight charges on
all range horseG from Oregon. Idaho.
Nevada, Montana or Utah. This was
at a time when It took a pretty fair
animal to sell for $40 at the Missouri
river. This same animal could be had
on the range for s13. About this time
Great BhitaiH sent men here to pick
up cavalry horses for the T56er war
and ever since, the cayuse has been
treated with more respect until today
he is ranked among the very best
animals of the range.
The Idaho cayuse can work up to
20 years of age and give mighty good
service, too. He is at his best at 10.
His best remains with him for four
or five years. He is an apt pupil and
takes his schooling with varied de-
grees Of willingness or wilfulness.
Unlike the mule is he. No one but
o veterinary can tell when a mule is
going to kick, but most any one can
decide this point for the cayuse, for
he carries his sign always with him,
Ii he is going to kick, you know 1t.
Not by any means do they all kick.
In his breaking he is frequently
ruined but this is more often the
fault of the cayuse man than the
cayuse horse. He is misunderstood
and malinged and whipped half to
death oftentimes when 1t has not been
at all necessary.
Caldwell is great shipping point
for the cayuse. ontario just over the
Oregon line, is another point where
this product of the range is made to
take It's first railroad ride.
In the interior from Caldwell, vast
range districts lie open to the cayuse.
The rustler comes along and carries
away a carload occasionally, but not
as of yore. 1t is too easy to catch
car now by telegraph. The rail-
roads, too, render more service of
late in apprehending horsethieves
than they used to.
The Caldwell draft team nearly al
ways goes to Seattle or Portland,
where a frst-class well-matched and
well-broke span will bring from s400
to $500 and fancy driver that stands
between the shafts like perfect
piece of machinery, will bring readily
$3.50 himself and up as high as $500.
