THORNBER THRILLS
FARMERS

(From "The Apache Warcry, y
Nogales High School paper.)
j. j.. Thornber, Dean of the
College of Agriculture in the Uni
versity of Arizona, spoke before
the students on Thursday April :.
Mr.. ,Thornber's speech was
chiefly about the University it
self. He mentioned the high
standing the U. of A. has in
the country, ranking third in the
United States.
Dean Thornber also spoke, in
detail, about the University's
Agricultural College of which he
is the head.
The Agricultural College spends
one-third Of the State Appropri-
alton to the University. The Agri-
cultural section receives $4,000
from the National Government
yearly to be spent on the teaching
of Agriculture. It also receives
large sums Of money for research
and extension work.
The Agricultural College pub
fishes a monthly paper which is
sent to every high school in Ariz-
ona.
Once a year the Agricultural
College holds a Labor Day. On
this day all the students Of the col
lege go out to the fields and work
on the farms. They have home
made dinner, and end the day
with lively barn dance.
Three graduates of the Univer-
sity Agricultural College are at
present in Egypt and India where
tley are taking up Agricultural
training Of the natives in addition
Il. their missionary endeavors.
Mr.. Thornber hopes to interest
a nunber Of Nogales students in
the Agricultural College
&c the future.

you can always hear some
body say, "Aw, coach, when
we gonna go swimming?"
And they are always given
new hopes when the an
swer is, "Pretty soon."
Part of the period is

The Junior Prom this year is
promising to be one of the biggest

make the Prom a success.
With the weekly hot dog sales,

the class is slowly but surely get

big event.
It is to be strictly an invitation
affair, and if this helps to ease the
curiosity of the other classmen.
there is an invitation committee,
refreshment committee, an en-
tcrtainment committee, and de-
coration committee, so it appears
to be a "well-rounded" affair.

trains constitute a sight the average
tourist does not soon forget. It is as
though the primitive has come up from
the earth to contrast with the most mod
ern Of man-made achievements-the cleo
trically drawn transcontinental train.
Ranchmen and others who have studied
the habits Of these wild droves state that
they conduct themselves in much the
same manner as did the buffalo herds Of
sixty years ago.
Hard to Capture
Approached by men Of the horse round
up, the stations will put forth combat
equal in ferocity to the denizen of an
African jungle. They will rush ct a man
with open mouth and teeth barred eX-
hibiting the madness of a wolf and with
the concentrated power Of dynamite in
their kicking hoofs. Like the early-day
bison, they fear nothing but the grizzly
bear, and their common enemy is the
grey wolf. They have their range war
fare just as did the buffalo. When at
tackled by pack Of hungry wolves, they
will mill in a circle with the stations on
the outer edge trumpeting their warn
ing; and they will remain in this forma-
ton until all danger has passed.
During the past year, ranchmen and
even county authorities Of almost every
section Of Montana where these wild
creatures roam, have organized roundups
with a view to exterminating the nui-
sance. And, in the course of but a short

than he digs spur into the old cuss
an'-Holy suterln'!-you oughta seen that
Roman-nosed son of Satan go to it.
You'd oughta heard him bawl like a bull
as he did the rail fence act and come
the snipe flip on himself. Lord, but he
was a-doin' himself and Red proud
But, the kid-say!-I hope to die if
he wasn't a pippin on wheels. He just
began by rippin' that old crowbait up
one side and down the other, and 1
guess he couldn't use the spurs any.
Oh, mol He just used them like a China
man uses chopsticks an he speared Old
Smoky all over. He gave him his head,
rode him straight up, famed him with
his hat and made him look like petri-
fed dogie.
Red was frantic. Old Smoky was
rode to standstill; he had given the
cutters signal, an it hurt Reds feel
ms as much as the cayuse's. He ran mp
to the kid an hollers: Here, you ID
little pup, you quit that quick or III
punch hole in YOU and he pulled his
gun. 1t looked a little squally fer a
time, but the kid called him.
THAT kid swung out of the saddle
and runnin' up to Red, jerked a red
silk handkerchief from his pocket,
tipped one corner of it into the fore
mans face and shouted: 'Ketch hold Of
the end Of thet, you walloper, and begin
to punch them holes like holes
Say! That baby-faced kid was a
thoroughbred. The two eyed each other
fer while and the kid sez: I heerd you
were a four-flushin' lobster, an I just
run up to see you and call you. You
thought you would ring in some wild
stock on me and sprung that broken
winded old skate that'd make a family
horse fer a sheepherder. That amt no
bad hoss. You're cheap lot an kid
kin bluff ye. Why don't ye use thet
hardware? I'm waitin on ye'
You could have knocked Red down
with a feather as he stood there like a
cottonwood fence post. The boys were
all nudgin' one another an snickerin an
it was plain thet Reds day was over.
Finally the lad turned away, pulled
his saddle off'n Old Smoky an without
even lookin' our way, saddled his own
hoss swung in an hit the high places
up the ridge.
Nobody seemed much anxious to head
him off. Anyway he rode over the hill
an we seen him no more but he left a
memory with Old Smoky and the rest Of
the 'Hashknife outfit. An ye can leave

terday We were all sittin' round the
corral, chewin' the rag an smokin', when
up the trail about a hundred yards away,
I see a horse an rider comm We didn't
have long to speculate as to who he
was, afore he was a-talkin' to Red, an
pretty soon the feller walked toward the
pasture a-leadin' his hoss by the bride.
He turned the critter loose, put up the
bars, hung his saddle on the fence an
walked over towards the corral. OF
course Red had hired him, ard the
boys was all wonderin' where he hailed
from. But someway, afore he had prop
erly squared himself round, we marked
him fer q snap fer Old Smoky, and dog
gone me if I wasn't sorry fer the kid, for
that's all he was-just kid with light
yaller hair and pair OF baby blue eyes;
Wall, it was the same old gag. All
the ridin' stock belongin' to the ranch
was as gentle as kittens to hear 'em tell it
to the kid, an he was maxim bargain
for extra gentle stock when took stroll
towards the pasture to look over his out
fit see at one glance that the rig was
q good one-Old Cheyenne centre-hre
saddle, a good hair bride and spade bit,
dandy old hackamore and peach Of a
rawhide rope. 1 sized'it up that the kid
had come out to this country after
a-readin' some of them wild and woolly
a Helena pawnship, where some poor
puncher had had to shed it fer the dough
to git a poker stake.
when mornin' came, Red trotted out
to Old Smoky, fer the kids first, an
them devils were near to Dustin tryin
to keep from smilin' while they asked az
special favor not to ride him too hard
fer he was old.
The "TenderfOOt" Kid
Anybody could saddle Old Smoky
even a baby could get the leather on
him; but that was because he was
a-waitin' fer a chance to get a better
crack at ye. 1t was one of Smoky's
strong suits, that confdence-inspiIin
gentleness on first acquaintance.
THE kid didn't act as though he was
hankerin' to git on him-acted like he
smelt rat; an Red yells: Hey you ten
derfoot, amt you ever goin' to get out
there with the boys? What do you reckon
hired you fer?'

man, they have originated in some vision |
or dream and they are wholly visionary
and impossible.
First Brought by COrtez
History leaves no question but that
these wild horses which today are finding
their way to the butchers block are the
descendants Of mounts brought to North
America by the Spanish "COnquista-
dores." The first horses that ever trod
this continent were the sixteen head
teenth century. And, despite his square
looking head, his Roman nose and his
uncomely neck, this range pony and the
typical COW "hoss" is a direct descendant
Of the Arabian animals of Cortez and
those brought at a later date by Captain
Coronado and Juan De Onate.
The Moorish norses brought to Ameri-
ca by the SpaniardS became the horse Of
the Spanish American, or Mexican. In
the desert heat Of the southland where
feed and water were scarce, the animals
lost their fat, and soon became accus-
toned to doing with little water and
small amount of food. For generation
after generation, they lost flesh and
gained angles, lost beauty and gained
wind" and stomach and bottom and
speed, until at about the time the first
Indian found few Of their number wan
dering north Of the Rio Grande, they
were small, hardy, wiry, untamed brutes
as wild as hawks, fleet as deer, and
SbIOIS dS Oxen. IL was Roman nOScO, DuJ
still retained fineness and quality typi-
cal of its Moorish ancestors.
To the native red man, the elk dog
was a great valued prize, and as these
animals became common to the tribes
men, their numbers in the property of
tribe or an individual constituted that
tribes or Indians wealth. The elk dog
was the Indians money, and the greater
number Of horses the native owned the
greater his prestige among his kinsmen
and the number OF wives to which he
was entitled depended entirely upon the
extent Of his wealth in elk dogs.
| The Vanishing eek Dog"
Little wonder then, that the present
situation in Montana is full of consterna-
ton to the Indian; for instead Of being
an asset Of real value, the elk dogs are
bringing heavy losses to ranchmen and
farmers, and are being rounded up and
sold for little or nothing. Despite this
fact, however, there are very few Indians
today who will kill a wild horse or al
low others to so do. 1t is impossible
for the full blood aborigine to change
his attitude toward his elk dogs And
this is undoubtedly an important factor
behind the situation confronting stock
men and farmers of Montana TO-DAY.
Il An investigation in Montana in 1926
estimated that this state at that time
had at least 100000 wild horses, and that
these are consuming enough pasturage
to feed approximately 2,000.0O0 head Of
sheep or .600,0 900 head Of cattle. In addi-
The Bozeman courier., 1927-06-10

ton to this, it was shown that the stall
lions of these wandering bands lure do
mesticated stock away from their native
haunts never to return AS a general
rule, these wild animals, such as are
being rounded up in central Montana to-
day are extremely difficult to capture and
of almost absolutely no use when cap
tUred, other than to be shipped to the
packing houses where their carcasSes are
transformed into saleable products.
Menace to the Range
AS one writer puts it, the Australian
wild rabbit is no more Of a nuisance on
that continent than the American wild
horse has become in this. Just a few
moments conversation with the average
central Montana cattleman discloses q
condition which he would picture as bor-
dering on disaster. One Of their favorite
haunts seems to be that section of the
state paralleling the right-of-way of the
Chicago, Milwaukee 81 St. Paul railway
through the central part of the state
and their bands, seen from the observa-
ton cars Of the Olympian and Columbian

MY grandfather had never ridden
horse, but he lost no time in doing as
the spirit had told him. He got upon
the horses back, and as he was carried
away. he greatly enjoyed this new way
of being carried over the hills. AS he
was riding along he very soon heard the
clatter of hoofs behind him, as though
he were being followed by large num-
ber of the same sort of animals as that
he was riding. These did not come into
view and he dared not look back. When
it came night, he stopped and lay down
on his breast with his head in the direc-
ton of the village, so that by no chance
through any sudden awakening, should
he look behind him. In the morning,
he went on his way, and after travelling
two more days he reached home. To the
surprise of all of his people, he had
brought home 100 of the large splendid
animals that were to take the place Of
dogs as the beasts Of burden. From
that time on, our people continued to
acquire horses, and never since have they
been without plenty Of them. And, we
load them heavy because the man in
black said they would bear it,"
The Blackfeet have another very vision
airy tradition which pictures a youth by
the name of Long Arrow, discovering the
elk dogs in the camp of a great medicine
man who lived underneath the waters
of a great lake. However. as is true of

experience. AS he stood near
lne bank of a stream, a man
clothed in black from head to
foot rose suddenly out of the
water and stood before him.
He demanded of my grand
father what he was doing in
that place, and was answered
that he was after horses. Then
the strange creature gave a loud
call, and from the woods near
by pranced a hundred horses

RIDERS OF CENTRAL MONTANA
STAGE ROUNDUP OF CAYUSES

Ringing, Montana-It looked like old
times around Ringing a few days ago with
a dozen old-time riders putting on the
biggest roundup of horses the county has
seen for a long time. The riders in four
days brought in 400 horses Pete Killorn
Of Livingston, in charge of the work, said
as many more would be rounded up in
the next few days. The stock was i'm
pounded at the Milwaukee stockyards and
at the old Jake Schooltz ranch near town.
The roundup was organized by local
stockmen who wanted to get their herds
together for branding, and to get rid of
the worthless stuff. Riders are gathering
in StrayS from the RANGES, also and Pete
Dawson, buyer for the Horse Products
company of Butte, is here to bid on them.
Among Stockmen making the drive are
Walter Hill. r. T. Ringling, John Lucas,
GEORGE Higgins and Tom McCurry. Jimmy
Galen is riding for the Hill ranch, and
Ringling interests. NeWberry has Just re-
turned from Calgary, where he delivered
two cars of Ringling Todeo stock. Jack
AHern and Dick LaFever are local riders
Among the boys from Park county are
Fritz Becker, Jimmie Hamilton and Harry
Clear. OF Livingston, and Harold Rose OF
In five days the boys had covered the
range from BOzeman forks to Cottonwood
and south to the county line. and from
SiXteen-mIe station south to the Bob
Campbell ranch. When they have rounded
up the stock on Battle creek, Wall noun
tain. Black butte and Horse mountain, the
riders Will have covered a territory 25
miles square and brought in 400 horses.
OF these it is estimated 300 are scrubs.

are rounding up horses by Jhe nun

to be sold for as little as $40 per

canned meats, chicken feed, fertilizer and
fur coats. it seems long long step bacK
a little less than two centuries ago, to
the time when the horse was an un-
known quantity in the northwestern sec
ton of North America.
1t is a fact, nevertheless, that until
some time after the year 100, the North
ern Indians had not become generally
possessed of horses; most OF the tribes
men used dogs as beasts of burden, while
their hunting and fighting was all done
on foot.
The eek Dogs"
Almost every nation of Indians native
to Montana has a different legend as to
the source Of the first elk dogs" as they
were commonly called-(they were dogs
because they were beasts of burden; and
their size was the size and build OF an
elk The Crow belief concerning the
first horses is interesting. Chief Clear
face told Lieutenant Bradley as follows:
I'm the days of my grandfather, our
people did not have horses, and they did
not know what they were. The squaws
carried large burdens on the march and
our dogs drew the travois. Our people
then had Just as large lodges as they do
now, and a whole lodge was too much OF
load for one dog, so they were made in
two parts so that they could be hauled
by two dogs
How the Crows Got Horses
After our people had reached the Vel
lowstOne country, they were visited by {
party of the Nez Perces. These people
seeing that the Crows used only dogs
told them of the larger and better ami
mails that they had, and offered to trade
the Crows some if they would visit theil
camp. party of the Crows did so, and
there for the first time, they saw the
larger and more powerful beasts. The!
