NEWS NOTES
Mr. Harpham of the Forest Service
returned from Mitchell on Sunday
evening after several daye spent in
that section. He states that the road
between Ochoco mines and Beaver
Ranger Station on the Mitchell side
(about eight miles) will probably not
be open to auto traffic before May 10
or thereabouts, depending, of course,
on weather condition.
There is little snow on the summit
but the ground all thru the moun
tains country is saturated with water
and for this reason mud will be a
barrier for some .time. Several mllea
of the road right of way between Mit
chell and Prlnevllle has been cleared
of trees and a good many stumps re
moved. Considerable grading has
also been done but until the road is
in shape to place the steam shovel In
place, the grading work will naturally
not go forward as fast aa it will there,
after.
Meetings of the Badger Creek,
Weat Branch and White Butte Cat
tle and Horse Associations were held
at Mitchell on Saturday, April 17th.
The spirit of cooperation manifest at
these meetings is very commendable
Indeed, and each association will col
lectively purchase salt and hire a
range rider to place the salt in the
troughs now being constructed on the
range as fast as the stockmen can
comfortably stand the expense. The
West Branch association recently let
I a contract for approximately four
miles of drift fence which will extend
along the west side of the new Prine-ville-Mitchell
road from the summit
northerly to the Forest boundry. Thit
will complete a good fence entirely
around the interior boundry of the
range allotted to this association.
Hangar W. A. Donnelly leaves for
the Ochoco Ranger Station today,
(April 22,) where he will make hia
headquarters while fixing up the bad
ly depleted telephone line along the
new road between this station and
the summit of the mountain.
Lee Blevlns and family will occu
py Ochoco Ranger Station after May
first.
Before the Day of the Auto.
A camel with the neck and legs of
a giraffe ranged the plains of Colo-'
redo with the three-toed ancestor of
the horse 1.500.000 years ago.
