SUBSCRIPTION RATE, $3.00 PER YEAR SINGLE COPY, 10 CENTS Our Compliments . . . After having watched with interest the troubles Portland In particular, and other Willamette val ley and coast cities and towns are having with their water supply or lack of it, we are glad that we can compliment the Heppner city council for their recent action in assuring the city another source of water. Last week the East Oregonian commented that It was pleased to report that the Pendleton coun cil was taking action to have a study made of its water system with particular emphasis on the distribution system. Portland's big difficulty lies not in its lack of water, but in it's inability to get it where it is needed., Heppner's distribution and storage system, we believe, is entirely adequate, and for the time being the source of supply is sufficient, but any time the city has all its eggs in one basket by re lying on a single well there is always the pos sibility of something happening to that well. This is even more important when that well is as far from town as is Heppner's. The city's present plan, to drill a , new well close to town, while it probably will not provide an adequate supply of water in itself, should the other well dry up, or should the old pipe line come apart at the seams, will give a much need ed safety factor so that there will always be at least some water available. ' The council discussed the fact that they would be gambling $4,000 on whether they would find water at the new site and whether that water would be usable. We agree, its a gamble anytime you bore a hole in the ground as td what you will find at the bottom, but we prefer a $4,000 gamble to an $80,000 bet. Besides, the city has the $4,000 the $80,000 would be harder to get. THIRTY YEARS AGO July 14, 1921 Lon McCabe, who is one of the leading farmers south of lone, was in town a short time yesterday. He has started his header and harvest will proceed at a steady rate on his farm un til the grain has all been gath ered in. Barring a small field of Spring sown grain, Mr. McCabe will have a splendid yield of wheat. The Spring sown grain was somewhat shortened by the recent hot weather. WliL, Bergstom of Gooseberry who was operated on last week by Dr. Chick for appendicitis, is reported to be improving nicely and will be released from the hospital on time. Buddy Boyd, son of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Boyd and a member of the Boy Scouts who went in the hike up Willow creek Mon day, was a little unfortunate. When making camp, he was us ing an axe which glanced .and struck him on the ankle bone. He was brought to town Tues day and after receiving proper attention was ready again to hike for the mountains and join his comrades who are in camp near the Herrin place and having the time of their lives. Eighteen of the lads left Heppner at about 4 o'clock Monday morning in charge of Scoutmaster Living stone, and they reached camp at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. They expect to return home tomorrow evening. mm AND COMFORTABLE IN A I m m 3 I L5uAf.rww-;-,'v VV3. ..... 1 O Jontitn THE AQUADUCK Formfit and speed-cut a Jantien with the accent on action.

A 15-man crew now in the field will be enlarged this week, said the commissioner. The ap praisal operations will be car ried on in counties of four in a block with much of the summer work concentrated in eastern and central Oregon where snow would interfere with work during the winter months. "Under existing conditions' said MacLean," there is a defin ite lack of uniformity between ap praisals both within counties and between counties." It is estimated it will require a total of $6,000,000 to complete the project within 10 years. The leg islature appropriated $200,000 to finance the first 18 months of the work. GREYHOUND RECEIPTS INCREASE For the first time in the his tory of greyhound racing in Ore gon the Multnomah Kennel Club will next year turn over to the state more than half a mil lion dollars for aid to county fairs and other similar activities. Receipts from races, conducted last year by the Multnomah Ken nel Club under the supervision of the Oregon racing commission, turned over to the state $472,104. 96. Receipts from the present 50 (lays greyhound racing program are averaging from 3 to 8 per cent higher each night than last year's. SAME HOST AT PEN George Alexander will remaon at the Oregon penitentiary as superintendent. This decision which has been apparent at meetings of the board of control for the past two months took a firmer set this week. An outmoded penitentiary struc ture has handicapped Alexander since he became superintendent and warden 13 years ago. The last legislature provided funds for a new cell block, laundry, bath house, machine shop and combined carpenter, woodwork ing and cabinet shop. The old machine shop will be used for tobacco processing, soap making, shoe manufacturing and tailor ing.' The solons divided the position of superintendent and warden and there are 20 applications be fore the board for the position of warden which will not be decid ed before August 1. UNEMPLOYMENT DECLINES Only 3,142 persons in Oregon drew jobless worker's pay . from the state unemployment compen sation funds last week. This is a new low since the end of the war in August 1945. Compensation paid to Oregon's temporary unemployment drop ped in June to $310,416, to estab lish another record, the lowest monthly total in nearly six years. The June benefits paid were 32 per cent lower than those for June, 1950.
