Road Work Beinr flushed.

Road work on the road from Prairie
City to John Day is being rushed to
facilitate the hauling of chrome ore
from the mines because of the inn
porance OF the ore in making bricks
used in the bi gwar guns. says NJ. o.
Bennett, assistant state highway engi-
neer. who returned last night from a
trip to this erritory, Mr. Bennett
says that the mines in that region con-
tain more of this ore than any others
in the United States. and for this rea-
son it is imperative that the road be
put in the best possible condition. He
says that the work in Baker and Unit
on counties is getting under way. He
expects to leave on Wednesday for the

Rc,nrns Prom Tour of Territory.

w. w. Cryder. forest supervisor. re-
turned yesterday from complete tour
of his territory. visiting Spray on the
west side and Kamela on the east He
reports that the summer range on the
west side is so dry that sheep men
have been forced to take bands of
sheep off the range and place them on
the home pastures. The west side has
had but one good rain this season. II
is feared that while the pastures on
the lOwlands are now in good condi-
ton, they will not be able to hold up
under the strain caused by the early
return of the sheep from the noun
tains. The east side, however. range
conditions are excellent because of
frequent rains and Cryder says the
prospect there is very encouraging.
Both sheep and cattle. he reports, are
in good condition, although there has
been some loss of sheep, because of
the scattering of the bands.
