highway) on the John Day
river.
The four were Bruce Both-

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

they took no plunges Into the
river and had no harrowing
experiences. The worst rever

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.
