HOUNDUP TIME IN THE APPLEGATE Dave Wabb with Capturad Wild Horias Rangers, Ranchers Capture Wild Horses In Applegate Area By MAUDE ZIECLEH Mill Trtbuna Correspondent Applelink- Valley - Wild horses Iouk luivc boon a prob Inn on Hip ApplcKiite cattle rariKo, but one day when sonic ponies happened to wander Into a fenced pasture in the hlch Sl.sklyous, local buckn roolnif ranchers and forest service men did a little quick orijanlzliii;, and now the men lire rldlnii fancy new cow ponies. It was all done in less than a couple of months' time. It all happened when Bob Webb of the local forestry staff went to Perks Pasture liuard station west of Dutch man's peak preparatory to moving In a trail crew late in May. The pasture Rale was left open, and a band of eight horses, believed to be the last on the range, came into the pashne during the night for salt, where Webb had sailed his own animals. Ap parently the wind blew the gate shut, so the first step in capture was accomplished. Welb related that he re turned home, gathered a crew of anxious horse wranglers and returned to Perks for the battle of wits between man and horso. To add to the ex citement, the men had to dig through five feet of snow at Chapel springs and pack in with horses for the last six miles or so, food, wire and fence posts being their major items. Included in the crew await ing the horse roundup were Fritz Offenbaehcr. local stock man: Lee Canaday, forest service packer at llutton guard station; Bufnrd Wels, summer guard at Perks, and Webb's son, Dave, who was fortunate In having the week end away from junior high school to Join the fun. First Horia Hopod As a first move toward en ticing the wild brood, the men tied their own saddle horses In the corral near the house, and extended a string from the gate to the house, expecting to pull the siring should the horses walk in. As the day passed, three horses lingered around, but refused to walk In the corral, but by next morning one came in. The next problem was whether to rope him or let him alone in the hopes JL- ' --- II hmih mum-M am. 'Bated on companion of mamthciiim's' more would follow. He got away, but the next one to come in was roped and tied up. The next step was to build a wing fence for 200 feet from the corral to Join on the garage. It was necessary then to build a trap-like structure called a "take-down fence" of barbed wire and stays, which the men left laying on the ground under a bit of camou flage, and which they could pull up while staying in the house. Finally men moving about in the pasture caused the horses to move toward the corral, and after standing be fore the "take-down fence" for about 10 minutes, they walked over it and went in the corral. Immediately the gate went shut and the fence went up. The horses were roped, tied to the corral fence, and haltered, and afterward put through the process of be ing broken to lead by being pulled behind the saddle horses. A four-year-old sorrel marc, later taken by Offen baehcr and named "Tama rack," put up a two-hour fight before submitting. Haulad In Truck With the lapse of several days of horse wrangling, snow had melted sufficiently to per mit entry of a truck for trans porting the horses to the ranger station. By use of sad dle horses the wild ponies were herded Into the truck and were hauled in two trips down the 22-milc mountain road without mishap. Guy Watkins, another local stockman, was among the first to ride a bronc, and a two-year-old named "Perks" he has claimed for a cow pony. Cnnaday and young Dave Webb also added their skill in breaking the horses to ride. Incidentally, Dave learned on the trip that cof fee is no good unless it boils. One of the marcs had a buckskin colt a few weeks old at the time of capture which is known now as "Whoop-de-do." The horses will be disposed of to local people. As Webb explains, horse breaking, after the first fight is over and they know defeat, they soon tame down, and with receiving feed and tugpetltd ltfO retail basi prieetor lowett-priced V-S models. Tablets Table Rock - Wc'uns, our belter half and I, were Invited to a Monday evening dinner July 11, by Mrs. Eva It In go, a gracious lady of Medford, who took us to a place where they tell you to take all you want, but to cat all you take, We had forgotten what our doctor said about a person's stomach being only as big as the two clenched fists placed together with the thumbs on the inside, so we did fine in the "taking" operation, but in trying to comply with the lat ter part, the stomach stretch ing almost became distressing. But with the delicious well cooked food, attentive waiters and our round-table visiting with friends and former neigh bors, we had a most enjoyable time. Later, we went to the new home of the Bcrthhold Barn urns' north of Phoenix in a setting of pear trees, and na tive shade trees, where we in spected the modern house, the many convenient gadgets, and some of Mrs. Barnum's paint ings, and antiques picked up in different localities. The dinner party consisted of Mrs. Eva Ringo, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Marsh, Mr. and Mrs. Bcrthold Barnum and ourselves. All but Mr. Barn um have been residents of the Table Rock community. The Lydlard family owned and lived in the house now owned by Norman Mattcson. Mrs. Barnum attended school here in her girlhood days, and was known as an expert tennis player. Ray Harrison, baa Inspec lor for Jackson and Jose phina counties, was work ing in this district recently, and reports that local bees ara picking up now after a backward trend caused by the cold, wet spring. Mr. Ferguson, caretaker at the Black Oakes Episcopal Conference center, was down this way a few days ago in search of cherries, but found none. Says deer are quite plentiful in the church grounds, 14 being counted in the yard, and one on the porch at one time. Walter Timm, caretaker at the Chiloquin State Park in Klamath county, was an in and out visitor here Wednesday, looking for soma local grown sweat corn, but found ha was too early. Californians who are here in auirine about the coming near harvest. Daily Vacation Bible school will start here Mon- water from their captors, they soon learn to trust and obey. The horses originated from local stock. The animals are said to be detrimental to the range due to their sliding hoofs ploughing a furrow of three or four feet, according to Webb. This band had ranged on Elliott creek ridge from Perks to Stein's butte. Other horse round-ups have been staged in the Applegate in years past. By P.. I. NEaLON day, July 18, at lha school house for children, with teachers for primary, be ginners and young people. A crew of road builders is working through here on the road , between Table Rock store and the Dodge Bridge Junction, which will complete the Job of paving and which when finished will have a con crete surface of several inches and a width of some 30 feet. Miss Linda Doran has ac cepted a position with the Commercial Credit Corp. of Medford, and commenced office work there Monday.

Tha Table Rock Sunday school is asking for bids on tha job of painting the school house, which they now own and use as a meet ing place. Mrs. R. E. Nealon is superintendent. We have always thought that a cigarette smoker was more or less careless, but now it seems cigarettes are getting the careless habit. We heard over the radio that a fire near Jacksonville was caused by the flipping of a careless cig arette. In our account book of tha years of 1913 and 1914, wa note the following prices paid for labor and services and prices charged for products, rent, etc. William Eldridge, labor two days hauling hay, S2.50.

The rattlesnake scare has died down here, although sev eral have been killed lately, but none have shown any signs of attacking. The favor ite weapons for slaying the snakes have been shovels and a 22 caliber pistol. The Bert Pierce family returned Tuesday from a vacation trip to Harrison, Ark., and adjoining stales, where they visited relatives and friends. They were gone some three weeks, traveled mora than 7,000 miles and enjoyed a trouble-free trip, with good weather both ways. While in Kansas City, they visited the Bill Bishop family, who were working on a new dwelling which they will move into in tha near future. Thought of the Day: Those who are sending us literature condemning churches other than their own had Delter save their paper and read the Constitution of the United States and the Oregon labor laws.
