o Pag 8 Heppner Ties Echo 6 to 6 Monday in Season s Final Game By Larry Mollahan The district 7B champions, coach George DeLapp's famed Echo Cougars, were in for a rude surprise Monday in their last pumi before going to the state quarterfinals this Friday, Coming to Heppner, the Cou gars were exporting anything but a rough and ready game auer seeing Urnatilla roll over the Mustangs last week. Echo seemed to be on the receiving end of a "last game for dear old MIS" spirit that prevailed among the 10 graduating seniors on the Mustang lineup. Echo didn't win, but neither did Heppner lose the game ended in a 6 to 6 tie. The fact that Ileypner was not going to be a pushover became evident in the first quarter when Heppner picked up 81 yards to Echo's 30. Both teams displayed hard blocking in the line through out the game. Lyle Jensen, senior quarter back, let fly with a 25 yard pass to Dick "Crazylcgs" Kononen on the Echo 30 and he spun and charged to the 5 yard line before being dragged down, but Echo's defensive line held until the end of the half. The third period saw Echo dis play their district winning abil ity gaining a total of 50 yards while keeping Heppner down to 35. Both teams scored in the final period, Heppner scoring first when Echo, picking up a fumble on the Heppner 23 made it to the endzone but they fumbled to give Heppner a touckback, giving the Mustangs the ball on their own 20. Heppner carried the ball 80 yards in 15 plays to score. Larry Mollahan took a handoff Forest Park (Continued from Page D from the various organizations civlng support to the park.

They said they already have several requests for dates next summer. Much remains to be done to get the park completed, but if work progresses as fast next year as It has during the first year, many more changes will be readily noticeable.

Heppner Gazette Ranqe Reseeding Costs, Benefits Noted in Study Many ranchers in eastern Ore gon are proceeding with a range reseeding program even under the present narrow operating margins, reports C. V. Plath, as sociate agricultural economist at Oregon State college. But, the ranchers are studying closely the cost-benefit angle. Range reseeding is an expen , 1 ...a i- rt -.nrAci ltldt sive lnvesuiiL-ru iu jjiuviut hitnripaiiv been considered "cheap" forage, Plath explains. Even when range livestock of fered a rather wide operating margin, it was wise to investigate the posibilities of a pay-out on range seeding. While conducting a research study on range management, eastern Oregon ranchers con.sio.er however, the economist found eastern Oregon ranchers consider there are three situations in which they can resecd now and make it pay. These situations are: First, reseedinsz to provide ad ditional forage needed at a criti cal period of feed shortage, usu ally early spring or tall, mis makes the yearly owration more efficient and results in cheaper gains. Second, reseeding now to sup ply additional forage needed for expansion in the near future. Most ranchers will not expand in the next two or three years but they know they must plan that far ahead to have the forage available, Reseeding under these conditions needs to produce about three times as much forage to be cheaper than buying more range land. Third, reseeding to build up or maintain the native range. Many native ranges will improve through natural revegetation if the grazing can be lightened and managed more carefully. By re seeding only about 5 percent of their range land, ranchers are providing enough additional for age at critical seasons, especially earlv spring, to permit them to " .L.! tUnt .o ivestigating the Bruces Eddy site. Cliffs site, the company said it contemplates amending its Fed eral Power Commission prelimi nary permit by withdrawing the Penny Cliffs site and confining efforts to the Bruce Eddy site. Growth of power loads in the Pacific Northwest and the con ,n - tinuing expansion of the region's economy makes it necessary for all agencies, public and private, to do everything possible to pro vide the new generating capacity needed to serve their customers, the announcement stated. o Mr. and Mrs. A.

Per capita income has very nearly quadrupled since 1939 in the southeast.
