Four Run John Day By Raft on 65-Mile Trip from Clarno Four more men lolned the river runners on June 26-27 when they made a 65-mlle trip from Clarno to Cottonwood bridge (on the Condon-Wasco highway) on the John Day river. The four were Bruce Both- well, Doyle Key, Wayne Hams and jay Huston with the first two on one raft and the latter two on another. Bothwell, an avid Indian artifact hunter, investigated some of the caves along tho river but found no evidence of artiracts. He theorized that the caves were too hard to get to from rlmrock for the In dians to utilize. The party did dig out one teepee hole with out any success. Although they found the going very rough ln places, they took no plunges Into the river and had no harrowing experiences. The worst rever sal suffered on the trip was when Key lost his hat Indians Win League Crown Bruce Marquardt Hurt Indians of the Little League, sponsored by Morrow County Grain Growers, are champions of the circuit for 19G5.

The Braves were the only team to defeat the Indians In the second half of league play, but since they are two games behind, a win for the Braves to day could knock the Indians out of first spot. At the playoffs In The Dalles on July 23-24, the Willow Creek team will olav two Fames. whether they win or lose. Dr. Bob Todd, commissioner, i said that those collecting no-' tato chip coupons, which may be turned in lor redemption to benefit the Little League, should bring them to the office of Turner, Van Marter and Bryant Barley Harvest To Start Soon With the July 4 week-end, tra ditional date for the starting of harvest, in the past, Morrow County Grain Growers were looking for their first loads of barley this week. None had ar; rived as of Wednesday, Harlan McCurdy, assistant manager, said. Some from the north end of the county will undoubtedly be received by the first of next week, he said, and when it starts to come, wheat will not be far behind. McCurdy said that the barley looks good. "Everything looks pretty fair," he added, although some grain fields are spotty. June rains came as a blessing to the ranchers and the rain of this week didn't hurt Recent warm weather has brought the crop on fast McCurdy said that some rather high winds nad been experienced in the north ern part of the county, and these were not a bit welcome.
