Damage Greater Than First
Thought
A visit to the timbered area last Friday by ten
representatives of the Heppner Chamber of Com
merce has caused added emphasis to be placed
upon the seriousness of the situation regarding
the budworm infestation. The C-C representa
tives are firmly convinced that unless something
drastic is done immediately not only the fir
growth but the pine trees as well are doomed for
destruction.
An article in Sunday's Oregonian contained the
information that a region in the Blue Mountain
territory at least 140 miles long by 120 miles
wide is affected by the spruce budworm. Forest
officials have been alarmed by the rapid spread
of the menace but have been unable to impress
the higher-ups with the seriousness of the situa
tion enough, at least to cause them to give down
with sufficient funds to wage a successful fight
on the bugs.
The Heppner men who made the trip with
Ranger Glenn Parsons Friday are convinced that
irreparable damage has already been done and
that the fir growth is approximately 100 per cent
affected. The budworms are now attacking the
pine growth and this spells direct loss to the
community.
The Chamber of Commerce the City of Hepp
ner and numerous individuals have signified their
intention to write Congressman Lowell Stockman,
and Senators Guy Cordon and Wayne Morse, ap
prising them of the loss already sustained and
the possibility of permanent loss of large tracts
of valuable timber in this region. If you have not
written your letters, may we insist that you do
so without delay? Otherwise our beloved Blue
Mountains may have to be re-named the "Brown
Mountains."
Fair Season Approaching
Harvest is rapidly coming to a close the type
of harvest we are accustomed to in Morrow county
and the public mind is being diverted towards
1 httg-
the late summer-early fall activities which main
ly include fairs and rodeos.
First important event in the minds of a great
many people of the Northwest will be the Pen
dleton Round-Up, the opening gun of which was
fired Saturday evening with the staging of the
38th annual Dress-up parade.
The next show claiming the attention of Mor
row county folks will be the North Morrow Coun
ty fair at Boardman, September 1, 2 and 3. The
north-end folks are going all-out to make the 1949
show bigger and better and this is not just mere,
ly a familiar expression. They are making a bid
through their premium lists for exhibits from all
over the county. vAside from the regular features,
the Boardman people have arranged several en
tertainment features to make the fair more
attractive.
Coming closer home, we have the Morrow
County Fair and Rodeo which will open September
7 and contnue four days. Officials have been
working for weeks to whip things in shape for the
double show and it is expected that everything
will be in readiness on the opening day. Since
reopening the fair the board has been working
under a handicap due to crowded conditions on
the grounds, but now that the former CCC build
ings are to be removed this fall it is expected that
'development plans will go ahead and that by fair
time 1950 the makings of a first class fair will
be underway. In the meantime, plans for the
1949 fair have not been limited to the space and
visitors will find many improvements.
Cutting the rodeo down to fit the community
pocketbook may not be too popular with some of
the rabid fans, but there is no reason to feel that
the show will not be up to the usual standard.
Since the rodeo will follow the Pendleton Round
Up and run concurrently with the Walla Walla
fair there is little likelihood that the performers
who play the big circuits will appear here as they
did last year At the same time some of the less
renowned talent will get a break, and this will
include the local youths who are looking forward
to working up to the bigger shows..
