LAYING NEW WALKS
Frank Davis and Earl Blake
were busy the first of the week
laying a new concrete sidewalk
in front of their respective prop
erties. Roy Quackenbush and
R. E. Thomas are preparing to
extend the walk' past their prop
erties, Joining with the sidewalk
at the Chaffee . place. Orville
Smith is having a concrete walk
built from the street line to the
house.
At the regular weekly meeting
of the junior chamber of com
merce Wednesday evening steps
were taken to get the ball rolling
in the direction of a civic center.
With the county-city trade off
their list of activities, the Jay
cees are ready to take on the
real objective of their organiza
tiona memorial to the veter
ans of World War II and those
who gave their all in that great
conflict.
First order of business last
night was city traffic violations.
The Jaycees believe something
should be done about the all-too-frcquent
exhibitions of careless
driving and wish to work with
city officials in reducing the vi
olations. An effort also will be
made to have driving instruction
taught in the school. Harry Van
Horn was named a committee
of one to take these matters up
with the proper authorities.
On the civic center project a
committee of five was named
including Frank Davis, chair
man; La Verne Van Marter, fin
ance officer; and Jack O'Connor,
Stephen Thompson and Francis
h'ickerson.
Eleven new members were
added to the Jaycee roster and
it was decided to leave the char
ter open indefinitely to permit
as many as wish to be enrolled
on the charter list.
Mamin Wightman, represent
ing the county and Wayne Lind
ner, the city, were appointed to
act upon applications of membership.
New Ordinance
Paves Way For
Immediate Action
above the projected nW city re
pieces of business transacted by
the city council Monday evening
in a session full of important
business, was the passage of an
ordinance providing for an ini
tiative and referendum relative
to voting on charter amend
ments. The ordinance met with
the unanimous approval of the
council and after being signed
by Mayor Lanham went into im
mediate effect.
Passage of the ordinance was
desired in order to pave the way
for calling an early election on
the proposed $75,000 water bond
issue and it is stated that the
election was set ahead 30 days
through this action.
City Attorney J. J. Nys asked
if the first and second readings
could not be read by title only
and motions by the councilmen
made this possible. When it de
veloped that there are some 30
sections to the ordinance it was
understandable why the attor
ney asked the favor.
The ordinance sets up rules
and regulations for conducting
special elections, operation of
the initiative nd referendum
features, penalties, etc., and se
lection of judges and clerks. Up
on its adoption, Mayor Lanham
named the following men to con
duet the election on May 6: A.
W. Jones and Alex Green, judg
es; C. R. McAlister. S. J. Devine
and R. B. Rice, clerks.
Notices of election have been
prepared for posting and the res
olution is published in full in
this issue of the Gazette Times.
Telephone Strike j
Curtails Distance
Calls Only Here
Aside from the fact that only
emergency long distance calls
are handled, the nationwide tel
ephone strike would not be ap
parent in Heppner. Business as
usual has been the rule in the
local office.
Patrons of the service, forget
ting there was a strike in effect,
felt a little piqued at first when
told that there is no long dis
tance service except in emergen
cies, such as illness or death,
but after the first few hours be
gan to adjust themselves to the
situation and like the telephone
girls, settled back to await the
outcome of the strike.
To say that the lack of dis
tance service to transact business
is causing little inconvenience
would be a misstatement of fact,
but the public appears to be ac
cepting the situation philosoph
ically this first week with the
hope that the company and the
employees will come to terms
ere many days pass.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry O'Donnell

The People, Baker Avers
"If we are to capitalize on our
natural resources, of which we
here in the northwest are blessed
in greater abundance than per
haps any place in the world, we
must see to It that these re
sources are developed in the in

they rightfully belong."

Pacific Supply Cooperative and
president of the Inland Empire

Baker's subject was the Colum
bia Valley athorlty, which he
dlscssedu in a fearless and force

correlation between the numer

stated that while there is not
the call for a Columbia Valley

as the TVA, the urge is here.

Heppner Outruns
lone in Opening
Game of Season
Local Swatters
Clout Eggmen For
17 Hits, 16 Runs
Heppner made an auspicious
start towards a successful season
Sunday afternoon by defeating
lone 16-7 in the opening game of
the 1947 American Legion Wheat
Timber baseball league. The
score doesn't tell all of the story
of the game, for both teams scor
ed high on the hits made Hepp
ner 16 runs on 17 hits and lone
averaging 100 per cent on seven
hits.
Aside from tha unbalanced
score, it was a clean game from
the standpoint of errors. (Bush
league ball is supposed to be
cluttered up with bad breaks of
one kind or another). Heppner
made six errors, lone 5.
Miller went five innings in the
box for Heppner, striking out
six and giving no bases on balls.
Ray Massey pitched the remain
ing four innings, striking out five
and passing one.
Ely started the game for lone,
going four rounds. He struck
out three batters and gave the
green light to seven. Jackson
finished the game, striking out
one and passing three.
Van Horn, second base for
Heppner, was top scorer of the
game, crossing the plate four
times, Al Massey, with two hits,
was the only Heppner batter
failing to make a tally. R. Heath
and Elv scored twice each, ac
counting for four of the seven

Death Comes To
Mrs. Kate Russell
Gilliam Pioneer
Death came to Mrs. Kate Rus
sell of Condon, Tuesday, April 8,
at St. Anthony's hospital in Pen
dleton where she had been hos
pitalized for the past six weeks.
She was 88 years, nine months
and five days of age.
Funeral services will oe held
at 10 o'clock a.m. Friday, April
11, from the St. John's Catholic
church in Condon. Rosary will
be held at 7:30 p.m. tonight at
St. Patrick's church in Heppner
and at the same hour in Condon.
Kate Summers was born in Ke
okuk, Iowa on July 3, 1859. Dur
ing her infancy she moved with
her family to Livingston, Mis
souri and later to St. Louis, Mo.
In 1880 her parents, two older
brothers and two older sisters
started their covered wagon jour
ney across the plains to the
West. They took the route of
the southwest and then north
to Idaho. On this journey of
three years her family was en
gaged in building and railroad
contracting. On the journey
westward her father died.

Construction of a new reser
voir and improvements to the
water system hinge on the atti
tude of the voters towards a
$75,000 water improvement bond
issue to be submitted for approv
al at a special election on May
6. The preliminary steps leading
to the special election have been
taken by the city council and
that body must now await ap
proval by the voters before tak
ing the next step contracting to
have the improvement made.
At the request of the city gov
ernment, L. R. Stockman of Bak
er, engineer retained for draw
ing up plans and estimates, was
present Monday evening to make
a report on the experiments
conducted the past three weeks
at the city well. It had been
felt that 200 gallons per minute,
the rate water has been pumped
for several seasons, was about
the capacity of the well, but it
was decided to give it a thor
ough test. The engine was speed
ed up notch at a time until 1700
revolutions per minute was
reached. This produced 513 gal
lons per minute. At 1600 revo
lutions the volume was 432 gal
lons per minute and at 1500 rev
olutions, 320 gallons per minute.
It was run at 1400 revolutions
for two weeks without showing
any appreciable diminishing of
the supply in the well and it
was figured that this 56 percent
increase over the previous flow
would meet all present water
demands for the current year.
The city authorities are bas
ing their plans on an estimated
population of 2.000 in the near
future, which the present well
might supply with increased
pumping. If another well has
to be drilled it can be done later.
The engineer submitted fig
ures covering cost of building a
small reservoir considerably
above the pojected new city re
servoir to serve residences on
the Barratt hill project The re
servoir is contemplated only in
the event additions might be
made to the contemplated divi
sion that would place houses
above the new reservoir site.
This drew little comment from
the council, the main interest
being centered upon the large
reservoir.
It is Stockman's opinion that
the present pipe line leading
from the well is too small to
carry off the increased supply
and that to meet the increase
another pipe leading from the
pump to the point where the
larger pipe starts would easily
solve the problem and not cause
an interruption in service while
being installed.
Inadequacy of the present re
servoir and a greatly increased
clemund for water are factors
entering into plans of the coun
cil to construct a new and larger
reservoir. With two reservoirs in
operation, appoximatelv 900.000
gallons of water can be stored
against emergencies, a fact not
to be taken lightly in view of
some of the things that do and

Court and
Reach Agreement
On Property Deal
Final Papers in
. Hands of County,
City Attorneys
Ater another week of suspense
the much discussed (and cuss
ed) county-city property trade
has been agreed upon and pend
ing final title transfers and oth
er details is "in the bag." Agree
ment of the Heppner city council
to give the 52-foot strip asked
for by the county court, as re
ported in these columns last
week, put the finishing touch to
the trade which has agitated the
community to some extent the
past year.
As it now stands, the city re
tains title to the Rodeo grounds,
leasing it to the county fair
board for fair use only. The city
also will collect the rentals from
the Heppner Lumber company
to the expiration of the lease on
CCC buildings, applying the
money to improvement of the
Rodeo ground. In trade for the
CCC property the city gets the
county property on Main street,
erantine permission to the coun
ty to use the sheds there until
the CCC grounds can be fixed up
for county use. The disputed
point, 52 by about 140 feet ly
ing between the Rodeo track and
two CCC buildings at the north
east corner of the Rodeo grounds
was included in the trade, giv
ing the county use of the build
ings. Conclusion of this deal clears
the way for the county fair board
to press claims for a fair this
year. The board has some tenta
tive plans which have not been
put into action due to the uncer
tainty of a location. To what ex
tent it is planned to carry out
the fair this year has not been
made public but it is quite cer
tain the 4-H club fair will be
held. Due to the earlier date of
the state fair it is probable that
the Rodeo and county fair will
be held at the same time.
