Oregon Trail Bank
Celebrates it’s 50th Year
Oregon Trail Bank is pleased to announce it’s 50th Anniversary Celebration the week of May 12th through May
16th, 2014. There will be door prizes and refreshments served at the bank’s locations in Guernsey, Cheyenne, and
Chugwater. Also memorabilia will be on display in Guernsey and special gifts will be given to all who celebrate with
us.
The Oregon Trail Bank received its charter from the State of Wyoming on may 16th, 1964, and opened initially in
the lobby of the old Guernsey Hotel. The original directors of the bank were: Robert Winship, Glen Gorman, Chester Frederick, Harvey Boner, Dante Testolin, Tony Testolin, and Arnold Kuhlmann. There had not been a bank in
Guernsey for 35 years, since the First State Bank of Guernsey was purchased and closed by the First State Bank of
Douglas in 1929.
Oregon Trail Bank was founded with the conviction that friendly, quality service to the customer was the foundation
for a successful bank. His philosophy of putting the customer’s needs first has been the primary reason that now, after 50 years, Oregon Trail Bank stands alone as Platte County’s only home owned Community bank. In 1992 Oregon
Trail Bank was the first bank in Wyoming to open a branch under new branch banking laws. This branch was
opened in Chugwater to serve the needs of a community that also had been without a bank for several years. Oregon
Trail Bank has since opened a full service office in the Capitol of the State. The Cheyenne office is serving the needs
of the community with many free deposit accounts, real estate loans, commercial and personal loans with a friendly
and highly personal and professional “hands on” approach.
Please stop by and share in the memories and fun, and register for prizes all week.

With the not so certain future of our country and the economics it is great to see those who are willing to put their
best foot forward and strive for something better. Not everyone agrees with this idea but I am hoping that those who
wish to be negative can set aside their opinions to allow
those who want to try, give them the same opportunity you
where given when you had an idea or two you wanted to
try.

Gifts from the Hive
Where would we be without the Honeybee?
By: Heather Pratt, MNT
The gifts of the honeybee are many. Through their tireless
work of gathering nectar and pollen and caring for the hive and
its inhabitants, bees enhance our health through the products
they create and as the world’s most valuable pollinators. You may
think of fruits, vegetables, and nuts and seeds as the product of
bees, but you should-bees are an integral part of today’s food
industry, and through pollination, are responsible for bringing
many healthy and delicious foods to your table. Bees work in
synergy with flowering plants; as they gather the nectar and pollen they need to feed themselves, they also spread pollen so
plants can reproduce.

avocados, cranberries, oranges, peaches, and raspberries grown in

the United States are dependent on bees for pollination. Other
valuable crops helped out by the bees include macadamia nuts,
Brazil nuts, kiwi fruits, and coffee. Thirty percent of the food we
eat is a result of the pollination work of bees-that’s one out of
every three bites you take!
Besides the gift of an abundance of foods made possible by the
honeybee, humans throughout the ages have revered bees for the

gifts obtained directly from the hive. Here’s good reason bees have long
been considered magical creatures, not only is honey delicious, but along
with bee pollen, propolis, and royal jelly; it’s good for us.
Honey:
Honey is certainly the best known gift from the bees. Made from sweet
nectar from flowering plants collected by the worker bees, it serves as
food for the hive. Although its main claim to fame is as delicious natural
sweetener, honey is so much more. It contains small amounts of numer-

Candida albicans. Because honey is mostly sugar, it draws water. When
applied topically, such as to a wound, this osmotic activity inhibits the
growth of bacteria The moisture it draws also activates an enzyme which
in turn leads to the creation of hydrogen peroxide. Honey supplies a slowrelease, low-level source of hydrogen peroxide that is capable of killing
microbes without damaging healthy tissue. Topically honey has been used
successfully to treat eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, dandruff, and
cold sores as well as aiding in the healing of a variety of wounds and
burns.

Wyoming’s Largest Ranch
The three and one-half million acre Swan Land and cattle Company was Wyoming’s Largest Ranch! And a prototype for investorowned ranches throughout the west. The Swan Land and Cattle Company was formed in 1883, after Wyoming became a territory but
before statehood. The boom times of the 1870s and early 1880s promised that times of relatively easy profits would continue.
What else was happening in the west? Yellowstone had been designated the first National Park. Jesse James, Billy the Kid, and the
OK Corral fight kept violence in the forefront. Texas cowboys walking off the range protested unfair working conditions while Buffalo
Bill’s Wild West Show entertained many. The Civil War was over. The slavery issue was in the background now so the “romantic”
West could be featured.
Alexander Swan took advantage of the romance of the open range to sell investments to a group of Scottish businessmen. They provided the capitol to organize the Swan Land and cattle Company. Swan hired Al Bowie and Rufus Rhodes because they knew ranching
and also knew cattle. Swan also had a telephone wire strung from Chugwater headquarters and north for communication with the far
flung acres of the Swan.
The ranch stretched from the Laramie River and Laramie Peak range south to the Bear Creek headwaters, and from the Sierra Madre
mountains in the west to the Chugwater, Box Elder and Cherry Creeks in the east, totaling about 3 1/2 million acres. Swan secured
the water rights necessary for the large area. He made sure that the land was within 4 or 5 miles of permanent year-round water. Swan
bought ranches, railroad land rights, and secured public grazing land. The Swan was a well-run, massive corporation that commanded
international respect; one that turned a 25% profit for the Scotsmen for a few years.
Swan was so concerned about the quality of cattle that he revolutionized cattle ranching. In trying to improve the breed for Wyoming
conditions, he brought Hereford and Angus purebred bulls to the Territory. He also limited access of the bulls to control the timing of
calving. Attesting to his interest in cattle, he was involved in the fledgling Wyoming Stockgrowers Association.
In it’s first years of operation, the swan claimed to have about 100,000 cattle, reached by “book count”. The cattle were rounded up
only once a year, so even the Swan cowboys never really knew how many cattle they were to look after. The Swan used the Two bar as
well as many other brands but the Swan was commonly referred to
as the Two Bar. The Swan was so big that it published its own
brand boo for the benefit of the foreman.
After several years of boom times came the disastrous winter of
1886-1887. About 15-20% of the cattle were lost in the winter
weather and then more calves were lost in the spring. Alexander
Swan wasn’t blamed for the weather; nevertheless, it led to his
being fired by the angry Scottish investors. Finlay Dun, secretary of
the Company, served as interim manager. Dun attempted an accurate count of the cattle by painting them. He was unable to complete it. Much to the snickers of the cowboys, the paint came off
because of the heat, rain, wind and cattle bumping against each
other. They sang this ditty:
“Daddy Dun’s a dandy, but his paint won’t stick”
John Clay, an experienced cattle businessman, was hired to manage the Swan. The Swan was reorganized with Clay because of the
previous winter and new laws. The President and Congress closed
free grazing on the Indian, railroad, and national government
lands. Also, companies with more than 20% foreign stock owner-

Swan Land and Cattle Company;
by title was declared public land.
Clay was followed by a number of other managers who failed to give coherent management, so the Swan didn’t do well as it might
have. In an effort to improve the Swan’s financial picture, sheep were introduced in 1904. For the next 40 years, both cattle and sheep
were run on the approximately 500,000 acres which the Swan now commanded- - in incredible drop from the original 3 1/2 million
acres.
The Swan cattle always brought top dollar because of their quality. But the wool market was inconsistent, at least until World War 1.
During the war to 1925, the wool market was good. In these years a new problem cropped up—- homesteading farmers who enclosed
land. Sometimes they farmed land that belonged to the Swan, creating no end of problems for the company.
In 1915, Curtis Templin was hired as the manager of the Swan. This proved to be a turning point in the Swan’s future as he provided long-term leadership. He expected hard work, discipline, honesty, thrift, sobriety and loyalty from everyone who worked for the
Swan. He got it! He managed the Swan well. He also saw the Scottish operation turn into and American one, as the director’s didn’t
relish taxes on profits here as well as in England.
Templin investigated various possibilities for expanding the Swan’s operations, one which was building dams on Chugwater Creek
for irrigation. The cost prohibited such a venture.
It was lean times for the Swan during the Great Depression, but not disastrous. Templin conserved capitol, consolidated holdings,
and made operating expenses from the cattle and sheep.
Beginning in World War 2, the Swan sold off the land. The remaining holdings ere sold throughput the 1940’s. The last company
dividend was paid on December 20,1951, which dissolved the company except for mineral rights still owned by the Swan. Russell
Staats, who had been Company clerk since 1927, kept doing the work necessary for the remaining Swan interests. He’s retired now.
The buildings are still in Chugwater, just over the railroad tracks. They are within Chugwater’s city limits, standing as a reminder of
Wyoming’s largest ranch. Its influence extended from Chugwater to the State Capitol and beyond to the business houses of Edinburgh, Scotland. In fact, a heritage of the great company remains visible today in the famous bucking horse on Wyoming’s license
plate. He is believed to be Old Steamboat, the Two Bar horse that could not be broken, justly famous as a bucking bronco at the turnof-the-century rodeos.

Honey is also beneficial when taken internally (tea and honey). It has been shown to be effective as an OTC cough suppressant for children with a
nighttime cough while stimulating antibody production when the body is exposed to infection. Honey’s most surprising benefit is that, although it is
mostly sugar, it doesn’t appear to have the same effect on the body as other sugars. In stark contrast to what most sugars do , honey actually appears to
improve blood glucose levels, blood lipids, inflammation, and homocysteine levels.
A World without Bees??
Considering all the important gift’s we’ve come to enjoy from the bees, no one wants to imagine a world without them, but that is exactly what beekeepers and scientist alike are worried about. Since 2006 bee populations everywhere have been declining at alarming rates. Bees are simply disappearing from their hives (presumably to die), leading to the eventual collapse of the entire hive. Since the mid-2000s beekeepers have lost 30% of their
hives and some individual losses have been as high as 90%. This alarming phenomenon is known as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) and perhaps
the worst part is that no one knows exactly why it is happening.
It seems there isn’t a single bee product that doesn’t benefit humans in some way-some people even use bee sting therapeutically! With so many wonderful gifts from the hive, it is easy to see why honeybees have been, and continue to be, so valuable to humans.
