Archie end Quentin Roose
vclt, Ktkcri alter experiences
even in their youth, found a new
one on Saturday night, when
they were allowed to help an
eujrineer awing the throttle in
his cab on the 20-mile ride from
Oyster Bay to Mineoiaand back.
Tbeir couain Philip Rooaevelt,
aat on the aeat of the cab and
kept a look-out ahead during all
the journey through the dark.

* It was not long after the Presi
dent's return to Sagamore Hill
that the boys hit upon the idea
of taking np the work of en
gineering on a locomotive.
After the resolve waa once
fqpned it la to be understood
that there waa no peace at
Sagamore Hill until permis
sion was given to take the
ride. The President addressed
a request to Station Agent A.
L. Marsh that if possible per
mission be given his two sons
and nephew to ride on train No.
118, which leavea Oyster Bay at
5.05 and returns from Mlneola
at 7.39 o'clock. The atation
agent granted the request.
Claa in their oldeat clothes,
the three youngster» were
driven down to Oyster Bay
promptly on time Saturday
night. Tbev inspected the
engine when ft diew up on the
aiding in front of the atation,
Then they were pnlled up lato
the cab by the smiling en·
H»
"I'U Uke the throttle," mM
Archie, with authority, "Quen
tin, yon look after the feed
valve and Phil win watch the
water alaaa."
So the new command of the
engine was disposed of and the
run to Ifineola and back was
made.
It la not recorded that the
engineer and fireman aat back
and let the boys ran the engine.
It Is even hinted that two hands
were on the throttle and aft
valve, one of them being the en
gineer's.
When the train pulled into
Oystax Bay from MineoU three
very dirty and oily boys jumped
down from the cab and started
for the waiting carriage, Archie
paaaed on the carriage step,
then west back a ad snook the
band of the engineer.

The end of the wild hone ia
the United States U ia tight.
Indeed, it it already practically
at hand. The eastern part of
Washington has for many years
been the bone of the. wild range
horse. Now, vith the encroach
ment of the farmer, the day of
ranne tiding and horse raising
on the-open plains bas passed.
The last big round up of wild
range horsea waa recently made
in Douglas county, near Seattle,
and some 3,000 animals were
driven into the corrals. Doug
las county has heretofore oCered
an inviting range for the horses,
and to-day there are still thons·
ands of the beantifnl creatures
running at large then on the
sandy stretches of bunch grass
and In the deep green slourhs of
the csnroos. The rapid in
crease of win fences, however,
has become a menace to the
horses and made it comparative
ly easy to corral them.
In former days the wDd range
horses, when captured, wen
sold for from $2 50 to $10 a bend,
delivery on the range. The

with the result that price· bave

enough wild hones to maire him

to be realised ia the hone
markets of the central sad east
era States. Then is oo more
picturesque sight is the worid
tbaa a large band of wild horses,
with the attendant colts and
fillies, coming down into a
canyon to water, or graziag oa
the opca prairie.
The conduct of a big round·
up by the range rider is most in
teresting to the outsider. When
a roaad-np ia decided on, the
horsemen usually organise iato
a legal body and elect s foreman
for the great driva. This fore
man is always an old rider and
horse owner who enjoys the futl
confidence of the range riders.
The f rat part of May is the time
usually chosen for the round-np.
From 150 to 200 riders are gen
erally retired to make s suc
cessful drive.
The round-up entails days of
roogh mountain riding and
nights spent in the open before
the "ild horses are driven iato
the big corrals, from which there
Is no means of escape. Many
hones break through the lines
of driven and escape. More
men on fresh horses are sent
back to attempt to round-up
these hones, while the msia
body of ridera keeps on with the
drive. At the entrance to the
corrals, which are often over a
mile wide, ridera on fleet horses
are stationed to ate that the wild
creatures are turned in the right
direction.
It is st the entrance to ooe of
the big corrals that the spectator

One of the greatest problem·

authorities is the distribution of

Ia the words of oa· of tbe clerks,
