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

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

canyon and clear to Fourmile
canyon before being stopped. The
fire covered an area about 12
miles long. Fire trucks from lone,
Arlington and Cecil aided In the
fight. Some stubble was lost on
the Woods and Logan ranches,
but most of the loss was grass
and sagebrush.
Heppner firemen answered an
alarm Sunday night to the Ralph
Richmond home on Gilmore
street where a trash fire was
mistaken for a grass blaze. There
was no damage.

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.
