FRONTIER SKETCHES

The Ways of the trail: The freight
ing caravans as they crossed the
plains generally carried a cook with
them This functionary drove the
mess wagon, but did not do any 9TH
err work. Every driver had to take
his turn getting wood and water for
the cook and in herding the cattle at
noon but the night herder did nothing
else. and slept in the mess wagon dur
ing the day Occasionally he would
waken at noon and hunt along the
road. The cattle fed at night until ten
or eleven O'Clock, when they settled
down until two in the morning. The
night herder slept by the side of re-
liable old OK and was awakened when
the OK got up to feed. The oxen were
driven into the wagon corral about
day light and yoked. Every wagon
had its special place in train and
kept it during the entire trip.
The wagons were always left in a
circle at night, forming corral. In
to this corral the cattle were driven
while being yoked. In case OF an at
tack, the cattle were inside the cor
raj and the men fought under the wa
gons. The teams started at daylight
and stopped at 10 or IL until two or
three, then they would start out and
travel until dark. One old freighter
always rested on Sunday. making an
average of a hundred miles week
with his OK teams. When the train
started out, each man was given ten
pounds OF sugar, which was to last
him until he reached Denver. On the
first Sunday the men would make
lemonade OF sugar and vinegar and
do without sugar the remainder OF
the trip.
The bullwhacks in those days were
about as improvident set Of young
bucks as the average smarty OF to-
day for human nature does not change
much after all.

Yet the lie goes right on,
What do THESE democratic leaders
think of the people of Albuquerque
They have not put up single arsu-
mcnt to show why they have failed
to carry out their campaign pledges
OF two years ago.
They have not presented a single
argument To prove that the increase
of i8 per cont in cost OF running the
city is Justified by results.
They have not told single prop
erty owner or taxpayer in this town
why the per capita cost ot running
the city has Jumped from s6.6l TO
$500 in two years under the Lester
administration
They do not even take the paths to
deny that they deceived the people two
years ago-dclibcratcly and for the
sole purpose of getting office-that
they iugglcd the most vital work in
the recent history of the city the
seWer system, so as To get into office.
