McMor ris finished a survey in Paper Sack last week for Chas. Under wood, Geo. Hardie and H. Green field. Some people may not know where Paper Sack is and why it was named thus. Paper Sack is in Tp. 5 South, R. 22 East which makes it about twelve miles southeast of Condon and the reason it was so named is this: In the early days a man was pass ing through that part of the country and he had his lunch in a paper sack. After eating his dinner he tied up the sack and hung it on a sage-brush. An other hungry wayfarer riding a long the same trail discovered the sack and took pains to examine it, but found it empty and since that day this section of the coun try has been called Paper Sack. Mr. McMorris' reports that he is hampered a great deal in his work by not being able to get Field Notes as formerly. He has to send the cash to the U. S. De pository and then send the re ceipt to the Surveyor General in order to get them and even then it may be a week or a month be fore he gets the Field Notes, whereas heretofore he had only to write for them to get them promptly.
