A cruise of the timber report edly was made by Ray I. Kim mey, of the O. and C. adminis tration, district office at Rose burg, and a sale negotiated with Catching and Randall, sawmill operators at Drain, who paid $2,001.50 cash and contracted to pay the balance on the purchase price of $9,321.50 in monthly pay ments of $305, Long stated. Two of the monthly payments were made, making a total of $2,611.50 paid by Catching and Randall.
