A second consignment of 4000 trout was scheduled to arrive later in the week. With assistance of J. Logie Rich ardson, George Howard and Tom Wells, the fish were taken to a point about one mile above the forks of Willow creek' where one half of them were deposited and the other half were placed in Rhea creek in the vicinity of the old Ham ilton ranch. It was not intended to receive anything under legal size but due to misunderstanding a con siderable number of the baby trout were included. It was thought best to plant them here inasmuch as they probably would not survive a return trip to the hatchery.

On Sunday a very light rain perhaps it would be called a heavy rnjt interfered with tlhe showing of spring hats, but did nothing to dampen the spirits of the softball players, who have been practicing on the high school dia mond for several weeks. Clouds during the early part of the week vied with occasional bursts of bril liant sunshine, but on Tuesday the wind and rain blotted out the beau tiful weather, and we realize that the usual equinoxial storm had not missed us but was merely belated. Month's Rainfall Sets New Average Rainfall for the present month up to Wednesday morning amounted to 1.17 inch in Heppner, according to Len L. Gilliam, observer. This sets a new average for the 30-year per iod that records have been kept here. Although the greater part of the month has been dry, with spring winds threatening to carry off much of the winter moisture, rains of the last week liave changed the picture and raised the hopes of grain grow ers and stockmen for a favorable growing season. Reports corning in from the moun tains tell of exceedingly heavy rains, with creeks swollen and transporta tion on country roads slowed down by mud. Damage to the highway in the Rock creek section has been re paired and the road is expected to hold unless the heavy rains continue.
