Some misunderstanding appears to
exist about what was done with the bill
for adding the strip, north of Buck Hol-

Sherman, and they were, on that account

boundary begins on the township line,
between townships four and five at the
John Day river, thence east till it
intersects Buck Hollow, thence down the
middle OF Buck Hollow to its mouth.
