Bratt Leads Cattle Round-Up Toward Birdwood Mouth
John Bratt travels eighty five miles in a day from his north camp amid bad weather. He expects to reach the Birdwood mouth by Sunday to join the round-up from the North Platte. Cattle on the north ranges are in good condition though river-range stock are poorer due to a backward season. Calves perish in the late cold storm and some weak cattle are reported. Industry notes Oregon Short Line foresees a region supporting ten million sheep with large annual outputs of cattle, sheep, and wool. Emigrant wagons pass town from Kansas. D B Lynch brings four hundred cattle from the north. The old Methodist church annex will be moved and converted into a house at the Jot north of the Masonic hall.
