1 2,000 Trout Come
for County Streams
Willow and Rhea creeks were re
plenished with trout last week end
when a truck from the Oak Springs
hatchery on the Warm Springs res
ervation brought 12,000 averaging
in length from three to nine inches.
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.

The week preceding Easter was
very lovely. 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.
