Speaking of the Potholes, Bud Hampton over in Othello old place was south of Othello in the Potholes. He owned most of them before the National Fish & Wildlife took them over as the Potholes National Reserve, but he retained the grazing rights to the Potholes and he ran a couple of thousand head of cattle out there. On one occasion a bunch of the cattle got out and was grazing where the Refuge eople didn't want them so Bud's son Lyle, his hired hand and the hands kid along with my boss and myself went in on horseback and ran the cattle back throught the fence where they had broke out. While we where in there we jumped a couple of nice bucks.

Another time I was driving for Sun Ag out at Royal City and had taken a load of fetilizer up to the Mattawa Bench and was returning back to Pasco to get another load to take up to Royal City by way of the Hanford Barracade just as I was coming up on the dump turn off coming into Richland at sun up I almost wrecked the Semi I ws driving as three of the prettiest Muley bucks ran across the road in front of me going back onto the Hanford Reservation. All three bucks where of Pope & Young Class.
