O UT OF THE P AST Blue Mountain Eagle November 28, 1941 75 years ago Prospects for chromite smelter look bright A chromite condenser and smelter for the John Day region now seems a reality according to a telephone con- versation with judge Allen this week from Arnold Muck of Portland, who with others are planning to erect the necessary equipment to handle the Grant county chromite and manga- nese products. It has been found that the chromite in our section is not too hard to smelter. It takes time to work out precess in converting the raw product into metals, but the men who are promoting the venture are now asking for a 32 acre tract of land just outside the city lim- its of John Day for the plant. The Chamber of Commerce of that city have offered the tract as their willingness to help en- courage the enterprise.

He tried and tried to catch the tur- key. He tried so hard that he was almost out of breath. But soon he had to stop. Finally he just went to the store. He went home with a lovely turkey. He took the turkey and put it in the oven for his family to eat on Thanksgiving day. He put it in the oven for 22 minutes. After it was over, he took it out of the oven. Then they ate it.
