Denver Record StocLman:-
The frs, cattle traHed 70 the Den

built into that county some 10 years
ago. arrived at the stockyands last
week a r. SagcT Of Steamboat

acted as director Of the tnp which
lasted eighteen days and covered ap-
proximately 200 miles OF trail and
highway.
Little the wore for their long hike
the Sc steers went promptly on sale
and brought $3.50 a hundred, a salts

from the market.
We left the ranch, which IL loc.lt-
I'D on Elk River, eleven miles north Of
Steamboat Springs on June 2jth-
Much Of our fore journey was done on
the main highway after leaving
Steamboat Springs, but we did not
overlook any trail that offered a short
cut. Over Rabbit Ear pass into Mid
die Park our route led Us in easy
stretches until we reached Fraser, the
last town on the west side OF the Con-
tinCutal Divide The most difficult
part Of the journey was from there
until we reached th, town Of Raw
liuz on this side Of the range. Our
wagon was the first over this road in
five years. In that time the highway
had become difficult % travel. Bould-
Cre Weighing five and six tons were
lying in the middle Of the trail and
20 move them or 20 around them was
impossible. Our tactics in ovcrcom-
ing 'E8aa oh atGr'ns was TO build an
apur D Of rock and then pull the
wagon over them. Most Of the bridges
wcTe washed out and il required ex-
cayatIOn to prepare most OF these
washGuts for the wagon.
at took Us is days 10 make the
distance. On the railroad, many and
many times, IL has taken a week. The
shrink was also minimum. Our steers
showed about one-thid the average
shrinkHge ordinarily sustained in ship
ping. The cattle were easy 10 drive
and caused Us no trouble, not even ut
night They were allowed to graze
during the day and were ready to
rest at night. They were ready TO
start at daybreak We suffered no
loss in any way, while on the other
hand We saved an exhorbitant freight
bill, None of the steers were lost
and none became lame. We enjoyed
the trip from start to finish and are
ready to make ii again.
A number of Gunnison stockmen
