At Dale We we're told we could get a
free bath in a hot spring there but as
it was not Saturday We passed up the
opportunity.
'.Patf' Was Discouraged
For time after our entrance into
Grant county Pat Lonergan almost
gave up the idea of a cream route for
the Smythe-Lonergan company and
was ready to spend all our money
north of Ukiah. But he got all over
that when we got out of the Jungle.
Farther along we found a ranch
where they raised wheat. 1t is owned
by Paul Grippe and as his dogs did
we went in and talked to the owner,
Mr.. Grippe has been there for some
years. He banks in Pendleton and
says a good many people there hank at
Pilot Rock or Pendleton. He had
raised 1909 bushels of wheat last year.
When we spoke of roads and posi-
bility that the John Day grade might
be improved he made it known he had
heard that story many times before.

put our feet under the table for dinner
in Ukiah. If the Umdtilla county road
master can build roads as fast and as
skillfully as he drives a car we should
get results. Albert Peterson was our
host at Ukiah.
Near Ukiah the proposed new route
of the Grant county road was pointed
out. 1t leads down Camas Creek to the
south fork of the John Day.
"CriminaT' Is Right
Beyond Ukiah We passed the Bon1
brothers ranch and in time came to the
piece de resistance-the John Day
grade. The staff photographer began
to earn his salary and he earned more
of it before the grade was finished.
Judge Schannep recently pronounced
the John Day grade as criminal" ami
he did not exaggerate. 1t might have
been alright in the time of Lewis &

Desolation creek flows into the north
