A Visit to the Dcmpcy Ranch.
A party of forty-ono North Plntto
people enjoyed tho hospitality of Mr.
and Mrs. I. N. Dempcy .nt their ranch
thirty-eight miles southwest of town
Sunday., Thirty-six of tho party made
the trip in automobiles, the other fivo
rode motorcycles. Tho drivo to the
ranch was made by most of tho cars in
one hour and forty minutes, which is
good time "considering tho tortuous
nature of the road for a distanco of a
dozen miles Up Snell Canyon, Arriving
at the ranch they round about twenty
other people present, nnd also that
Mrs. Dempcy and her daughters had
prepared a splendid dinner for all. This
hospitality on tho part of Mr. and Mrs.
Dempcy was not expected by tho
visitors from North Platte, and it was
therefore very much appreciated. The
ride had sharpened their appetites and
we felt rather embarrassed, over the
rapid firo manner in which Piatt White.
Minor Hinman, Otto Thoelecko and
Ray Lancford divested tho tablo of its
burden of good things.
lho object of tho trip was to witness
a hill climbing contest by cars, Mr.
Dempcy announcing his intention of
purchasing a car that could success
fully climb the hill leading west from
his ranch. This hill is about a half
mile lone:, has an average grade of
eighteen per cent, and with a maximum
grado of tRlrty-fivo per cent for tho
last 200 vards. It was expected that
a number of different make cars would
enter tho contest, but the .expected
agents from other ffiwns' were not
present and tho contest narrowed
down to the Bulck cars taken over by
Messrs Davis & Chorpenning, of this
city. .
The "thirty" Buick started up tho
hill with six passengers and made the
trip without hesitancy, ana later took
ten passencrers un the steepest incline
of the hill. Tho smaller Bulck nlso
made tho hill, as did also tho Whito
Buick owned by Ed Walker. Other cars
owned by North Platto parties mado
the attempt but the pttcn 01 the hill
threw the gasoline away from tho car
buretor, hence there was no compres
sion or power. Minor Hinman obviated
this difiiculty by backing, and reached
tho top.
Mr. Dempcy was so well pleased with
tho work of the "thirty" Bulck that
he gave a check for its purchase.
The Dempcy ranch is situated in a
very rough country, n succession of
sand hills, nnd very norrow draws be
tween. The ranch includes about -1,000
acres on which 300 head of cattle and a
number of horses nro grazing. The
barns are large and well constructed,
and the house, which is located on a
high elevation,, is a very comfortable
one, prettily ana attractively furnished,
and evidently tho family is musically
inclined for a piano, violin, mandolin
and phonograph were in evidence. Cer
tain it is that thoinmntes or tho Demp
cy homo are among tho most hosplt
ablo peoplo on earth,
