It was wonderful to sit and look out the window and see Ollalie Butte, Jef ferson and those in-between mountains past the Sisters. All were snow-covered and shining in the sun.

Forest Service, Buckhouse said he hopes some questions about stream bank erosion can be answered and recommendations developed that w ill lead to improve fish habitat while atthe same time providing forage for livestock and big game. stream bank can cause serious problems for the fish because vegetation provides shade needed to keep water cool for trout and other cold water fishes.” Overhanging banks, which livestock and big game animals can break down, provide hiding places and produce riffles and back water ponds fish need. When the overhangs are broken down, the stream can become less productive, he said. “ Right now we don’t have enough s c ie n tific Office Hours 9 a m to 5 3 0 p m D aily SALES end SERVICE AUTO PARTS A C T IO N Awto A Truck Ports Co.

At the U S. Forest Service Starkey experimental range near La Grande, different methods of livestock m anagem ent are being tested to find out whihc ones w ill cause the least amount of damage. C ertain areas of the stream bank are selected and sectioned off. Some are grazed at different times with different methods and some are not grazed at all From this, researchers w ill try to determine the impact of each management system. "Livestock and big game can cause erosion problems. Water quality can be af fected by increased sediment in the water, breakdown of stream banks and con tamination of the water from b od ily w astes," said Buckhouse. ‘ ‘ Also, livestock eating vegetation growing along a PLUMBING 666-2683 z Lae Edgren - Clerk Hell Sandy OPTOMETRIST MACHINERY Fairbanks Residential-Commercial Remod eling-Add it lone-Kitchens -Beths SANDY LOCKSMITH 3 9 0 9 0 Pioneer Bivd .

There were no injuries in the fire. Nell's notes Woman injured A 28-year-old Sandy woman is reported in satisfactory condition at G re s h a m C o m m u n ity Hospital after her car ran off the road on Highway 211 about two miles south of Sandy at 12:30 a.m. Satur day. Patricia Ann Vollmer, converted tw o-story barn was "completely gutted — a total loss.” F ir e fig h te r s fro m Estacada, Redland and Sandy assisted the Boring department in fighting the blaze for four hours, Shields said. B o r in g fir e fig h te r s received the call at 8:36 p.m. Friday and the blaze was through the roof when they got to the site, Shields said.

The passenger shelters on the Portland Mall w ill serve as the m a jo r in formation source for Tri-Met rid ers. The shelters w ill include a closed c irc u it television screen that w ill show the next three buses on each line that stop at the shelter and their departure times from the first stop at the shelter and th e ir departure times from the first stop on the mall. Each shelter contains six panels One of the panels is a large “ rainbow" map of the entire region showing all the bus routes in the tri-county area. The map establishes seven service areas which are coded with a symbol and a color The service areas and corresponding areas are: northwest and north; Red F ish; northeast. Purple Raindrops, northeast and East County. Blue S n o w fla k e ; s o u th e a st, Gresham and outlying areas. Brown Beaver; southeast (Oregon City and Milwaukie) and southwest (I-ake Oswego and West Linn) Green Leaf; southwest. Yellow Rose; s o u th w e s t (B e a v e rto n , Forest Grove and Hillsboro), Orange Deer Another panel contains a map showing every street that the bus travels on and designates which bus routes travel which streets. Once the rider has determined which service area he wants he can find his destination on the service area map which also gives him the number of the line he should ride. A third panel lists the buses that stop at the shelter. If a rider is in a service area in which his destination is not located, a fourth panel with a map of the Portland Mall w ill help him locate the shelter where his bus stops. " I f a rider wants to go to northeast Portland, all he has to do is look for the purple raindrops on the mall map and walk to a raindrop shelter. In the raindrop shelter he can find more specific information about a ll the northeast lin e s ," explained Prowda Two other panels include general instructions and a listing of all bus line numbers according to each service area Additional features of the Rider Information System are trip -p la n n in g kiosks which are placed in eight locations on the mall. Each of these mushroom-shaped kiosks includes a television screen and keyboard Riders w ill be able to push a button for their route number and see route and schedule in formation displayed on the screen The kiosks also include a bus ticket vending machine and a telephone linked d ire c tly to the T ri \ b t customer information office. Prowda noted that buses w ill continue to be identified with the same route numbers and names currently used
