Saw 6 Sialia arctica, 2 Sturnella & a few Ravens, saw a flock of ducks flying up the River. The barometer needle catches on the rim & will not work. Oct. 21 Did not camp early enough to set traps tast night, so had none to look after in morning. Packed up & went to the P.O. & mailed letters & my barometer. Left Deeth at about 9 A.M. Followed down the west side of river & R.R. to Halleck. 12 miles. The river meadow is all fenced up & we found no water except one little red alkalie stream, no feed outside of the fences & no one living on this side of the valley. Couldnt camp till we reached Halleck at 2 P.M. The flat valley averages about one mile wide, is mostly covered with rye-grass & salt-grass, the sides next the hills with Sarcobatus verniculatus & Tetradimea
