most of their time securing the
shores of the Okanogan river for
wrong doors. In those days the log
house, now owned by E. N. Grubb was
occupied by the late J. T. Mcdonald
and was on the far outskirts of civili-
cation. 1t was the only land mark that
Mr. Tindell recognized, and he was
perfectly surprised at the changes that
have taken place herabouts.
