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.

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.

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.
The Harold Sharp family
returned Friday from a week's
vacation, spent mostly in
California where they visited
Disneyland, the Knotts Berry
Farm near Los Angeles, a zoo,
a museum, and several his
torical places.
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. Mrs.
Roff, charged for three
months' ho-se rant, $9. This
was a four-room house built
mostly of rough lumber, but
a warm and comfortable
dwelling. Other products
sold were: one doian water
melons for SI and 100
pounds of carrots, 40 cents.
Mrs. S. W. Pleasant is a
patient in tha Sacred Heart
hospital, and Aubrey Net
tles is a surgery patient at
tha Rogue Valley Memorial
hospital.
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.
