Harstine or Let 'era eat wood What's a poor steer to eat when feedlots can't afford the price of grain? "Let 'era eat wood." That's the proposal of Dr. Irwin Dyer, a Washington State University animal nutritionist, who has demonstrated that wood and paper can be substituted for grain as the major source of carbohydrates for cattle and sheep. Wood products converted into livestcck feed can compete with high-cost grain, Dyer said. With barley prices currently about $ t 20 a ton, Dyer believes wood products are on the threshold of becoming a major new feed source.

By CARMEN YATES HARSTINE - The Harstine Community Hall will be the scene of the grand finale of summer season here on the Island. The date of the Island's big annual social and fund raising event of the Community is Saturday, September 1, 1973. The music will get going along about 9 p.m. and the group is the Walt Allen Country-Western group from Little Skokum. Last Sunday the four members of the Yates tribe plus Carol Bengelsdorf and son John and also Lisa's new friend, Polly Campbell all hopped aboard the Yates set of wheels and drove up to see the Wynoochee Dam dedication. Along with the usual array of dignitaries and V.I.P.'s there was a yummy salmon bake prepared by the Quinault Indians, as only Indians can prepare salmon over open alder fires. Another taste tingling teaser was the hunks of deep fried bread. After the speeches had become history the grand finale was the pressing of a button by Congresswoman, Julia Butler Hanson which opened one of the sluice gates allowing water to gush through the natural rock walls below the dam in a very spectacular fashion. Enroute to the event wc traveled through Matlock. Enroute home we drove along the Wynoochee River Valley down to Montesano which was most enjoyable seeing the numerous scenic farms that border the road. The four menlbers of the Marvin Bengelsdorf family plus Missy, Susie's horse arrived Saturday morning to spend the weekend. Susie and Rusty had a great time Friday, one aboard Missy and the other aboard a ten-speed bike touring the Island. Occasionally they would change mounts for a time. Visitors at the Dale Peugh home for an overnight visit were Joan and Steve Gabrielsen and their three youngsters, Chris, David and Darren. The young family presently make their home at Hayden Lake, Idaho. Steve is the oldest son of Steig and Beulah Gabrielsen former Islanders who are presently living in Anacortes. The young family was on their summer vacation trip around the Olympic Peninsula and made Harstine an overnight stop. Prior to arriving here they had made a side trip over to Friday Harbor in the San Juans. Dave and Cheryl Waite accompanied by close friends, Janie and Clay Allen of Seattle took a weekend camping jaunt up to Lake Ozene over this past weekend. While the two sets of parents were out enjoying nature the Grandmas and Grandpas, the George Waites and the Camerons of Picketing took care of the little folks. The two couples pitched their tents at Lake Ozette and then hiked out to the ocean beach and then up on to the Indian excavations aways north. While Janie and Cheryl caught their breath Dave and Clay made a tour of Cannonball Island just a short ways from short at the end of the trail. All in all they had a great time and Cheryl reports that they've sure been bitten by the "canrping bug." No matter who you're insured with now, our NEW RATES will SAVE YOU insurance money.

S. 426-4602 ance is Monday Maxine Waite accompanied by her mom, Dot Smith and Dot's cousin, Lillian from Indiana spent the day on a sightseeing drive prior to Lillian's heading home later in the week. After a day of sightseeing they planned to have dinner with Dave and Cheryl along with Bill Bingham and his two small-fry and Ed Waite and George. Pauline and Ike Carlson ended another summer vacation on Thursday of last week. And there was a bit of excitement as an anti-climax, when Otis Dwyer attempted to take his trailer out which he had brought over for Clara Carlson to stay in while she, too, was up on vacation with the other pair of Carlsons. One pickup and even another car in front, said "no way" as mother nature showed her concern by weeping like crazy. The paper man with a four-wheel jeep came or to the rescue and the story had a happy ending. For the Carolson's many Island friends this week will be a chance to catch up on a bit of sleep and rest missed for a couple of weeks. It's always sad to see the beach fires and songfests come to an end, but the memories linger on through the winter and into the following summer as friends and relatives eagerly anticipate the Carlson's arrival once again. Wilbur and Doris Jacobson arrived home this past weekend following a two-week vacation, The couple first headed for Eugene, Oregon to see their two daughters, Donna and Doug Marx and family and Eileen and Geof Meyer. They wanted to see Eileen and Geof before the young couple left for Minnesota to see Geof's folks. They returned to the Island nlg for one night to catch their breath and check the garden before pointing the pickup and camp trailer north. Due to the Canadian ferry strike they gave up a trip over to Vancouver Island as they had originally planned and went up into the mainland portion of British Columbia. They traveled as far north as Kamloops before turning back in the direction of home. For the most part Doris said the second week on their vacation was a very enjoyable scenic drive whereever they went. They especially enjoyed the North Cascade route going up. Coming back they traveled through EUensburg and Yakima and chose Naches Pass rather than the more popular White Pass. Just prior to leaving they enjoyed an overnight visit with relatives from Vancouver, B.C., Mr. and Mrs. Olaf Cedarburg accompanied by her mother, Jula Praist (Wilbur's aunt - a sister to his father, Oscar) and Lenord Farm visited overnight Thursday and Friday. Sunday visitors at the Gordon Simmons home were five members of the Rutherford family from Raymond. Another couple, Mr. and Mrs. John Millam, also relative's of Gordon's mom, Jessie from her second marriage, dropped in for an afternoon visit. Parts & Service 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mon. thru Fri.
