OVERSEERS 96' THE deed is signed, and we are now the owners of the big VV, D. Ranch. Our old possession has passed into the hands of the Baker firm. Mr. Kepner, the Owner, decided that since so many new tender-hoofs had been placed in the eorral, it Would be quite necessary to acquire larger pastures and more Overseers. Including the Guides, Rough-Riders, Sore-Toes, and Tender-feet we number about thirteen hundredg the Overseers, fifty-four. Never in the history of the West has there been a ranch possessing such expert, capable, really public- spirited Overseers. They have come to us after long experience in broncho-bustingg breaking the colts to the saddle of authorityg training them for plough-horses, delivery nags, non-kickers, non-bit-swallowers, and win- ners of blue ribbons. In spite of bites, kicks, bruises, back-breaking jolts, they still keep their equilibrium and boast of never being thrown on the cactus. These Overseers are divided into groups under the Owner, who manages with most dexterous skill, with pains- taking thoughfulness, and with geniality and boundless love. Is it any wonder then that the Ranch NW. D. holds the foremost place on the western plains? E51
