Rancher Safe After
Day And Night
In Blizzard
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (A>)—
Rancher Walter Kittredge was
j safe at home again yesterday after
| spending a day and night in the
blizzard swept central Oregon
area near Brothers.
He was found yesterday in the
Devil’s Garden lava fields, into
which he had strayed during Tues
day’s blinding snowstorm.
Kittredge had taken refuge in a
cavern in the lava bed, building a
little fire to keep himself warm.
He heard the shot fired by search
ers moving through the area, and
went out to meet them.
He had left home Monday night
with a ranch hand, Jess Barksdale,
35, to inspect a well. Their truck
broke down, and they remained
in the car that night.
The next day Kittredge started
to walk the 10 miles to a ranch
for help, and ran into the blizzard.
Barksdale remained in the truck
and was located Tuesday night by
the search party.
Kittredge was found an estimat- '
ed 17 miles from the truck.

FUNDS FOE U.S.S. ALASKA
ON DEPOSIT IN JUNEAU
In answer to an inquiry sent to
this paper concerning the $10,000
which was raised in 1944 by the
people all over Alaska for a gift
for the U.S.S. Alaska, the Gover
nor’s office has advised us that
due to the fact that the U.S.S.
Alaska was inactivated before the
$10,000 could be given, the total
sum is on deposit in the First Na
tional Bank of Juneau until the
U. S.S. Alaska will be re-commis
sioned by the Navy.
