m some time In the middle ot laat

until the last of tte week. They were
from Seattle, had traveled as far ,
south as Sacramento valley, and had ;
turned back on account ot the heat -They
expected to take it leisurely on '
their way back, make some side trips
and be out until school time. JVnother -car
of their party had left them tere. 1
A family party of nine or ten, -whicb,
according to the head of the
party, included one family and one
extra man, had come from Oklahoma,
by way of northeastern Oregon. They
were looking for a situation where'
they would have a good Bchool for ttd -children
and good hunting grounds '
for the two men within forty or "fifty
miles. The woman's part In the game .
probably, was to keep the children lu
trim for school, whicL .would be
enough for her. They had picked out
Springfield on the map, as a place
that would probably serve both ob- -Jects.
But since, they had come into
this region somebody had persuaded
tie men that Orants Pass would give
them access to a better hunting range.
The acaooL apparently, was a second
ary consideration. -, ;
