HORSES IN OLD CALIFORNIA
Menace to More Valuable Stock -
Killed by Thousands

Before the American occupation the
white population of Alta. Cal, was
computed at 5000 and In the same peri
cd, before the secularization OF the
missions. it has been estimated that
there were 100000 cattle and 10000
horses and mules in the country, that
is, IL head of horses and mules to
every man, woman and child
SO numerous did the herds of semi
wild horses become that their depre-
dations were held to interfere seriously
with the pasturing of more valuable
stock, and orders for wholesale slaugh-
ter of equines were no uncommon
thing. Such an order was given in
Santa Barbara in 1915. When Dana
came to the country, as long ago as
1885, he found horses the cheapest
thing in California.
The earliest trade carried on between
Americans and the native Californians
was in horses and mules In 1888 the
far-famed Santa Fe traders came in
bringing blankets and woolens, which
were exchanged for horses and mules
New Mexican blankets were valued al
from SO to So each, while California
horses and mules were worth about as
much. The records prove that Joseph
r. Walker and u others went to Los
Angeles in 1s41 to buy horses.

lea owe their introduction to the Span

Perhaps every one In the Office has

the day is warm, but that there Is no

is absolutely necessary. The less one

for that. He's just got to be miserable.

None Of US can, by taking thought, re-

Worrying about whether the thermom

There are lots of folk that make them

when it comes they go out on the

People that watch the thermometer

he would make one more trip among

we Flathead girls have come to the

Reinforced concrete, during the last
few years, has been invading many
fields which hitherto have been con-
sidered as belonging exclusively to iron
and steel. One of the interesting illus
trations of this fact is the construction
Of concrete buoy at Kingston, ia
maica. 1t is stated that the cost Is
only about so per cent Of the cost of a
similar buoy made Of steel. To pre-
vent the mooring chain from injur-
ing, the bottom of the buoy, the latter
is made concave. The manhole cover
was grouted into it's place after the
buoy was afioat. Leakage Is handled
by means of a small pumphole pro-
vided for that purpose.

nor of California and one Of the pio-
neers of 1863, issued instructions in
tended to check the stealing of horses
and cattle by the neophyte Indians.
To such an alarming degree was this
practice prevalent that the worthy Pc
dro ascribed it to the fact that "the
laws were too much relaxed"
From the mission days until some
time after the advent of the Americans
the Californian held his stock as his
chief wealth. A mans position in the
community was judged more or less
by the stock he owned. Horses and
other domestic animals at first were al
most a monopoly of the missions, but
later private, persons, usually retired
soldiers, secured ranches and became
raisers and breeders.
These California horses Of the early
period were known as mustangs" In
beauty and excellence they could not
compare with the American horses, i'm
proved as the latter were by careful
breeding and scientific crossing, such
as were not undertaken by the ma
jority Of the indolent, careless ranch
eros of Spanish blood, who at that time
were the only Californians. Neither Is
this to be wondered at, for the care
and training of their horses were re-
garded far more lightly among the
CaIifornians than among the Ameri-
cans.
Although small and tough, the mus
tang was not used as draft beast at
all He was either ridden or employed
for the driving and lassoing of cattle.
Inc of
lassoing bears. Preference was given
ored, such beasts being supposed to be
more snowy and attractive. Mares
were not used for riding.
These facts, coupled with the num-
bers that roamed the plains and valleys
are sufficient to explain why the Cali
fornians held them at such slight
worth. Thousands of them were not
accounted for, says Hittel. In their
| thousands also they ran more or less
wild. Here, there, and everywhere
might be seen troops of them, each led
| by a stallion that had never known
halter or stall Fierce fights among
the stations decided which of them
should head the band; to the victor
was accorded that honor
Then began that rapid multiplication
of the horse that made the breed a
menace to the pastures of what was
| held to be more valuable stock. In
1925, 10 years after the slaughter or
dained by the order given out at Santa
Barbara, there were tens of thousands
Of them, substantially unclaimed,
roaming from place to place, consum-
| ing the heritage and frequently entic-
| ing to their bands the branded horses
and brood mares of the stock breed
ers"
Cooperation among the latter to
stamp out the nuisance followed and
for this purpose were made large cor
rails, the wings of which spread far out
from the entrances. Into these death
traps, the wild herds were driven in
immense numbers and dispatched with
lances. The equine butchery contin-
ued until the rancheros deemed that
enough had been killed TO relieve the
pressure, when the best of the survivors
were cut out and domesticated. 1t is
ALSO recorded that, nuplbers of upwel-
come horses were killed by being
driven over cliffs.
