ENGINEER TO SURVEY
GRANT COUNTY ROAD

A locating party in charge of Virgil
Wagner, who has been resident en-
gineer at Milton, will be sent to Ukiah
probably late next week by the State
Highway Commission from the Pen
dieeon office. The party will consist
of five men and will work from Ukiah
down Camas creek on a possible new
route to the Grant county line.
The survey from Ukiah is to be
made as a result of joint requests by
the residents of southern umaulla
and Grant counties. II is Intended 10
provide road that will eliminate the
John Day and Bridge creek grades
and thus provide better means of COM
munication from Grant county to the
markets of this county.
Another survey crew under David
G. Glass will start next week on sur
veys of possible overhead crossing
sites at SAKE station. 1t was recently
agreed between the o. w. r. & $. Co.
the county and the highway commits
sion that this crossing should be of the
overhead type and surveys were or
dered made. One will be near tho
present grade crossing and the other
about a quarter mile nearer to Pen
dlcton.

THIS STEELHEAO
CERTAINLY HAD ITS
FULL SHARE OF BONES

Whale fishers of Grays Harbor a
year or so ago made lengthy tests of
the edibility of whale steaks and
gained for that dish more or less pop
ularity. The fisheries station at
Friday Harbor Wash, had an eX-
perimenter there who declared that
barnacles made a very toothsome
morsal. Now comes Rudy Mollner, of
Pendleton, who eats squaw fish.
1t is not all Mr.. Mollner's fault that
he made away last night with an en-
tire squaw fish, IL inches long. cooked
by a camp fire on the Umatilla river
few miles from here. The fish was
caught and prepared by two of his
nearest and dearest friends, with
whom he had gone on fishing trip.
Mr.. Mollner, not an adept at fishing
tended camp while the others caught
the trout. 1t was his boast that he
would eat all the fish they caught.
The squaw fish. reported by the
fishers as a young steelhead was given
him to start on. He finished il with
numerous remarks about the guam
tity of bones and the quality of the
meat He was game. however, and in
spite of an expressed preference for
trout to steelheads, he finished the
fish before he was informed of its
species. sSEIBu

is for additional showers in this terri
tory tonight. Small receipts are IN
