realize it, but the cattle of the Clyde Holliday drive
through John Day were something a little extra special
Sunday morning as more than the usual number of
photographers were on hand for pictures. Approximately
700 head of cattle were brought by 14 riders from the
ranges in Bear Valley near Seneca to the Holliday ranch
east of John Day. It took two days to complete the annual
drive. The operation went off without any difficulty, said
Holliday.

dog to run at large. A general
ordinance defi ning offenses
and providing penalties was
approved by the council to re-
place 20 separate ordinances
dealing with a variety of sub-
jects from disorderly houses
to minors in saloons.
The new ordinance covers
offense against public peace,
safety and property. It also
covers offenses involving
morals and minors.
A review of the ordinances
by the council resulted from
an earlier study made by the
League of Oregon Cities.
