He brought it In and noticed there
was a letter from the Washington.

Kay was in charge o f George’s

opened the letter and informed
them that George had died of a
lingering Liver trouble.

A few days ago Letha and Jack
Bordmess (an elderly couple of old
timers that roam the hills of M al­
heur County and catch furs in the
winter months and wild horses In
the summer time) came through
Cow Hollow with a live Linx cat.
Letha had been In Ontario a few
months before and while talking to
an old friend who runs a restaurant
there he told her that when she
caught a Linx cat to bring him the
hide he wanted to mount it for dis­
play in the restaurant. They made
a joke of it. She told him she
would "drive In a live one.” So the
first one she caught In her traps
she remembered him and her and
Jack wraped it up in a “T arp” and

Into a box with out hurting it or
geting themselves hurt. The box
had to be made secure also for it
was a very nice sized kitty. About
two and one half feet from tip to
tip and weighing twenty five or
thirty pounds.
When they put him In the box
he grabbed the edge of it and drove
a tooth clear through a three quar­
ter inch pine board.
Letha said she was going to take
it into the kitchen of his restraurant
and open the lid and say “Here you
are now lets see you mount him."
The hunters are beginning to in­
vade our "Hunting Area" out here
some now.
It is surprising how
many hunters cant read “ No Hunt­
ing” signs. Some of them can’t even
see cattle when a bird flys up.
The other day Elza Niccum went
out to chase o ff a hunter (Elza is
chairman and sort o f runs the
Hunting Area) and the hunter
flashed a permit on him. O f
course they got friendly right away
then. The hunter was Edd Jamisons

hunting Is the best here that It has
ever been.

We can be thankful here In the Snake River Valley that we
are already equipped to let electricity do so many things for
us. Because in the interests of meeting our national emer-
gency, planes, tanks and like equipment get the first call on
matenals— and rightly so! Conserving present equipment is
an aid to national defense. And adequate national defense is
the promise of many of Thanksgivings fo come.
