On this jaunt, any great distance between collecting points was travelled by train. They camped in Bake Oven Creek area above Maupin, then worked their way to Gateway. At Gateway they hired a man with team and light wagon to take their gear to Warm Springs. After calling at Warm Springs, they went up Mill Creek and established a camp at the base of Mt. Jefferson. Here they spent some time collecting. Returning to Gateway they went by team and wagon to the Hay Creek area east of Madras. They bunked and board- ed at the Hay Creek ranch owned at that time by Baldwin Sheep and Land Company. Alex said this was a really big operation in 1915, with a large num- ber of ranch hands.

In the morn- ings he would make the flapjacks by putting water, baking powder, etc., in a nest of flour in the top of his sack of flour. Alex had heard of this lazy man's way of cooking but this was the first time he had ever seen the operation. It was decided that when the work was finished in this area, Alex would go to Tillamook County and continue scientific collecting there. He returned to Portland and Tillamook by train. Jew- ett and Gar lough continued on to Mitchell area, John Day, Strawberry Mountain country and ended up at Baker. In 1914 and 1915, while these surveys were going on, Harry Telford, Fish and Game Commission employee, was also gathering specimens and data in the Klamath Falls-Lakeview area. By 1916 the plans to build habitat groups of the wildlife that had been gathered apparently ran into a snag as no money was assigned to the project.

Later the study skins were sent to Oregon State College where they reside today in the Museum of Natural History, forming the backbone of the teaching and research collection in the Departments of Fish and Game Management and Zoology. After World War I upon return to civilian life, Alex was employed by the Cleveland Museum to gather specimens for museum exhibits. He did extensive work in the Warner Valley country of Oregon, then moved on to Arizona and New Mexico and into Old Mexico. After several years of field work he and his family again returned to the Tillamook area. He has been the curator of the Pioneer Museum in Tillamook since its establishment several years ago.
