A Wyoming Cattle King.
Wyoming's great cattle king. Ora
Haley, who is spending the close of an
evenlful career at Laramie, vas the
original owner of much of these vast
areas. He saw the rich possibilities
Of cattle grazing in this e%ver-verdant
valley, and soon multiplied thousands
of his cattle were feeding on the
plains. From the old Home ranch
which he first acquired, he added 9TH
er holdings and then others until he
was probably the greatest cattle raiser
in the world. How well he figured
his multiplied millions now attest.
But there came a day when young
Tallmadge and Buntin realized how
great a thing 1t would be If thousands
Of men and women instead Of cattle
could populate this valley and bless
the state and union by Its development
along lines OF the best citizenship.
Was Tempted to Sell.
At the price Of a kings ransom
they tempted Haley to sell, and today
these great cattle ranges are being
converted into small farms. One hun.
