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.

REAPPRAISMENT
CREWS WORKING
"The statewide reappraisal of
real property now being made is
not designed to increase taxes,"
state tax commissioner Robert
MacLean emphasized Monday.
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.
