Well, if you run the river down, you'll dry out the whole valley, and you'll have every man with a fancy for ranching jumping in, or some d land agency's dummies grabbing every rod of it. It's Crown land. Anybody can locate a ranch on it." "You have to buy the land," said Nasmyth. "You can't pre-empt it here." "How does that count?" Wheeler persisted.
But he was warm-hearted and devoted to his big brother, Humphrey, called "Hump," who had taken to ranching mainly with the idea of looking after his younger brother. And no easy matter that was, for every one liked the lad and in consequence helped him down.
But I guess the boys will be busy enough without monkeying with your cayuse. If you put that homestead deal through, you can have any horse on the range except Chinook. You'll need a team, anyway, when you go to ranching." "Thanks, boss, but I'm gettin' kind of used to Pill." "Pill? You mean Phil Phil Sheridan. That's your horse's name." "Mebby.
"What do you think of the range?" inquired the trail foreman, turning to the men, and going direct to the subject. "It meets every requirement for ranching," replied the elder cowman, "and I'm going to make these boys a generous offer."

You've lived here for twenty years. You've grown rich off the country. An' you'd sell us to your rotten Germany. What I think of you for that I'm goin' to tell you."

My foreman is not exactly gentle, but, believe me, he knows his business. He is the finest ranchman in the country, and I owe much of my success to him. You must get on the right side of Jake, though.
Bryant, what was it brought you out this way, when you ought to be worrying around getting wise to to the ranching business?" she demanded. Bill flung back his broad shoulders, and, with the movement, seemed to fling off every care. He laughed cordially. "Say, you make me laugh," he cried. "Now if I was to tell you what had brought me this way, you'd sure get mad."

"The frontier is a queer place. There are many bitter men here, men who have failed at ranching. And your father has been wonderfully successful. Steele has dropped some poison, and it'll spread."
It was the first he had seen, but he knew it at once, for the fame of the automobile, then in its single-cylinder stage, had already spread into the farthest ranching country.
