Show MRS. ANDERSON Page 10 notice of things like that. GT: Well, at five years old, you're not going to be to familiar with things like that. BA: But they did that for four years and I still don't remember. They seemed to sell bunches of cattle now and then and after about four or five y~ars, the four brothers broke up and each took their own herd and like I said they turned it into a sheep reserve. And they had to get rid of their cattle cause there wasn't much summer fed around here. PN: Were there cattle ranches out there prior to the railroad corning in? BA: There were cattle ranches I'm sure up north toward Malta. Do you know where that is? PN: Vaguely, I'm familiar. BA: It's ·upon the road we go up to ... GT: llurley? BA: Yes, out to Burley. PN: It would be over on the East side of Promontory now, wouldn't it? BA: No, it would be quite a bit west. You go through Tridell. PN: Did you .notice, or did anyone notice an increase in the cattle ranching activities after the railroad carne in? You mentioned the fact that they brought out 75,000 head. BA: Well, I suppose there was. PN: But were there other people, perhaps from this area, who went out to establish ranches? BA: Well, there were people living along the East side of Promontory. I think that was the only place other than the railroad that I mentioned, |
