country and in less than a week show and count us at least 10,000 
and never see the same bunch twice. But he said that a person unfa-

The next day we left for Mr. Barry’s ranch in Guano Valley, which 
lies in the southeastern part of Lake County, about six miles west of 
the Lake County-Harney County line and about five miles north of the 
Oregon-Nevada boundary.

Here we met Mr. Phil Barry, who raises sheep and has been in 
that part of the country for thirteen years. The Barry ranch is in 
rather an isolated part of the desert, where travelers are few and far 
between, and in all my knocking around I don’t believe I ever met a 
more hospitable person. Although we had our own grub with us in 
the car, he would not permit us to cook it—we must eat with him. 
When asked if there were many antelope in the country, he said he 
had read the government reports on the approximate numbers of these 
animals in the United States, and he thought there were more antelope 
right there in a 40 or 50-mile circle than the government reports gave 
the whole United States credit for having. © = 2°) 9.0 0. feu
