Ranchers Looking
For Strays From Air

Taking to the air on February Jst,
modern cowboys made a quick sur-
vey of rugged, snow covered range
land where cattle, missed in the win-
ter round-up, might still be rustling.
John Wade with pilot Hugh Fancy
and accompanied by Duane Witte
and Jim Bonner, flew for 5% hours
over the whitewater, Big Creek and
Porcupine country. Alhough a sharp
lookout was kept no cattle were seen.
About 200 moose were counted from
the air, a small number for the im-
mense area of good moose country
covered in the flight.

WALKING AROUND with the dis-
comfort of a few yards of tape cover-
ing his torso, Jim Bonner consoles
himself with the thought that it
might have been a cast instead. Jim
is suffering from a cracked rib and
torn muscles which resulted when a
heavy horse went over him while
sorting stock in the corral. J. Cas-
selman drove him to Williams Lake
for medical attention.

ONE OF OUR GENTLE MOOSE
has come home! The cow that last
winter ate hay from our hands and
came to the call of man, is back
again! She was seen Friday by R.
Church and Ralph Uptigrove on the
far side of Church’s ranch. We know
it’s the same one — for, to our sur
prise and delight the rope and name
plate placed around her neck last
March, are still there.

WITH A LOAD of horsemeat on
board Ralph Uptigrove of Vancou-
ver left for the coast Monday. This
is the first of a series of trips he
expects to make in the near future.
The meat will be converted into feed
for fur bearing animals.
