Roland Paige. Age 10.

One day this summer my father and
three men and | were going to round
up some cattle. [ had my own horse
which was perfectly gentle. We rode
along and had a fine time for the men
were good company and we we're not
in hurry. All of sudden my horse
stepped in hole some wild animal
had made and | was thrown. l had
been thrown many times before but
this time | guess / turned a summer
sault for struck on my left leg and
it was broken. So they had to lift me
up and my father held me as best he
could and all turned about and went
home 1t was good we we're in no
hurry for we had not gone more than
six miles. Our man took the fastest
horse and rode to town for doctor.
SO by the time l got home the doctor
was there. They put me to bed and
set my broken leg and did it up in
splints. 1 stayed In bed several
weeks. | think shall not forget that
day this summer when | went out to
round up few cattle but got broken
leg instead. While / was in bed L did
lot of reading and read about the
boy Scouts. Are there any scouts
among "The Ranch" boys?

The sun was bright and the cool
breeze shook the dew drops from the
waving grass and tanning leaves.
The sky was blue, spotted with few
white, f1eecy clouds. My heart was
light though. the satchel | was carry
ing was pretty heavy. I was on my
way to a large boat which lay, rocking
quietly, on the gentle waters of the
Willamette. l was going on the boat
to a little town far up the Columbia.
After we had left the city and it's
busy sights, 1 began to look with
more interest upon the scenery. Tall
trees, waving grasses, gold and scarlet
flowers, daisy meadows, green pas
lures, busy farms, brilliant gardens,
laughing and tinkling brooks and
dense woods met my gaze and excited
my admiration.
Three girls and l went down to look
at the machinery and stayed till
luncheon. The Cascade Locks we're
intensely interesting and l watched
everything. The scenery was changed
by this time. There we're rocky
banks, high cliffs, small green hills.
large steep ones, rocky mountains
with snowy caps on their heads and
forests of fir and pine. Small towns
appeared nesting among the hills and
mountains, waterfall poured forth
their music and the wind in the trees
sang of their beauty. Gold, pink,
scarlet and blue flowers nodded their
heads among the velvet moss that
grew over the rocks.
In the morning at O'Clock l ar
rived at the town where l was going.
MY friends met me at the dock with
"Doll'' the white horse, and the farm
wagon. The country was rocky but
very pretty. They took me to their
home which was two miles from the
town. | had a real good supper.
Then | looked around the place till

sleepy by bed time.

on the floor, which by this time had
burned through. He had a ladder
to go up stairs on. Well, we soon left
and roWed back to the other folks.
Then We all started home playing along
the way. When we were half way
home, we remembered we had left
our umbrellas, so two of us girls went
back after them while the rest of us
waited. We reached home about $50.
