Helicopter Used In Mountain Rescue Of Boardmanife Mrs Mabel Allen, wife of Ar thur Allen of Boardman, Is In a satisfactory condition at an Enterprise hospital following a fall from her horse In the Wal lowa mountains Wednesday of last week. Mrs Allen suffered se vere bruises, shock and exposure when thrown from her horse In the Isolated Aneroid Lake area of the Wallowa Mountains, which is about 7 miles from Wallowa Lake. The Aliens were on a horseback trip from Aneroid Lake to the Imnaha River coun try, from where they planned to go out by Hawkins Pass. Allen stated thev had stopped on the trail about a mile beyond the lake, and that his wile was siu in? on her horse completely re laxed and with one foot out of the stirrup, looking at a map. The snapping of the map appar ently frightened the horse, which whirled off the trail and started down the rocky slope. Mrs Al len fell and landed on her back. Then she had to ride the longest mile she ever rode, back to An eroid Lake. Her husband and two other men walked beside the horse to hold her on. The help came from another trail party In the area, of which fortunately, Dr Keith Markee of Portland, was a member. After a second check on her eondition at the lake, Dr Markee stated she should be taken to a hos pital only by stretcher. The Wallowa Mountains Res cue Team and Clarence Tucker, a Lewiston ' newsman, set the wheels In operation to get the U S Air Force helicopter from Portland tn flv the injured wo man out to a hospital. It was piloted by First Lts Thomas E Sallows and Dennis M Chase and was guided Into the rugged territory by Eldon Down, La- r.rnnria are rhlef of the Air - Search and Rescue Organization nautics. The flight Into the 7800 foot altitude was made difficult by a threatening thunderstorm. Mrs Allen was carried into the helicopter on a mattress, then placed on a built In stretcher In the cargo section of the craft. It landed at the Enterprise airport and the badly bruised woman was rushed to the hospital. Al len made the return trip from Aneroid Lake on horseback. The Aliens, who have lived In Boardman about 25 years, where Allen operates a service station, make the trip to the Wallowa mountains every summer. They had been gone about ten days on this one. Allen, who returned home during the weekend, stated that It was Indefinite how long his wife would have to remain in the hospital, that It would be a week or more. He said that al though there were no fractures, she is being kept under obser vation. HOT WEATHER (Continued from Page 1) and .burned across Eightmlle canyon and clear to Fourmile canyon before being stopped. The fire covered an area about 12 miles long.

Changes Noted in 1959 Soil Bank The acreage reserve program for reducing allotment crop acre age Is not available for 1959, It was announced this week by the county ASC office. Although the payment rate per acre for reducing allotment crops generally has been higher under the acreage reserve program than under the conservation reserve program, new features of the conservation reserve program for next year (which covers both allotment and non-allotment crop acreage) may be sufficient to interest many farmers in that program, it was stated. The level of annual payments under the 1959 conservation re serve will be, in many cases, substantially higher than In pre vious years. One of the new fea tures is a premium payment to those producers placing all their eligible land in the program. ASC officials said that farmers should compare the net Income they normally receive from the operation of their farm with the net income they will receive un der the conservation reserve pro gram if they place all or part of their eligible land In the pro gram. The program is voluntary and additional information on it is available at the ASC office In Heppner.
