Hayes is the daughter of a Wallows County pioneer, Daniel W. Warnock, who claimed one of the valley’s first homesteads nearly 70 years ago. After her marriage to Mr. Hayes, she went with her husband to a remote section of the Snake River Canyon to establish a cattle ranch. Lumber for the Hayes home was made into a raft at Pittsburgh Landing and floated 20 miles down the swift waters of the Snake to reach the site of their ranch hoaaa. Trr.vel in and out of the Snake River Canyon was a two- day trip by horseback, and Mr. and Mrs. Hayea with their .-.vo yc~ng sons made excursions about twica a year into the WallovVl Valley for supplies. Nearly twenty years ago Mr. and Mrs. Hayes sold their Snake River holdings and purchased s 200-acre farm near Joseph, Oregon. This farm, well-electrified and long served by PP&L lines, it now operated by Mr. and Mra. Hayes* son, Kirk. The other son. Corporal Max Hayes, is serving in the Army. Mrs. Hayes has her war job, too. When the Wallows Valley ranchers needed someone to receive livestock at their Joseph shipping point, Mrs. Hayes, who once rode for cattle on the Imnaha ranch, volunteered for the job. And now each Friday finds her at the Joseph stockyards, ¡supervising the weighing in of cattle and other liveatock chipped from the Valley to the outside markets.
