M need, on Ji eek have been reauested of Coneress bv Congressman Al Ullman, accord- . . .. . '.., week. Ullman made his request early this month before the public works subcommittee of the House appropriations committee and he asked that $18,400 be in cluded in the 19G0 public works budeet. The survev would in clude determining the feasibility and cost of a dam on Willow creek just above Heppner. Ullman said in his statement before the subcommittee, "Com pletion of a survey of the flood control needs in the vicinily of Heppner, Oregon will be made possible by the appropriation of the $18,400 which the Corps indi cates could be used for this pro ject. We are particularly con cerned over the repeated failure of the administration to requesl funds for this study. Substantial flood control problems exist In the area and the potential for a disastrous flood is ever present. We are pleased to report that local interests are in agreement and feel certain that a suitable project would result if necessary engineering" data can be corn Dieted. Consequently, we urgent ly request approval of the $18,400 needed for the coming fiscal year."

Should the resurvey, when made, determine that a dam on Willow creek is financially feas ible, then Congress win De asnea to appropriate money for its con struction.

' - r ' COUNTY'S CENTENNIAL PRESENT This authentic replica of an Indian totem pole was raised last week at the upper end of Cutsforth Park on Herren creek by Its builder, Orville Cutsforth and a sizeable crew of helpers. Cutsforth carved the 32 foot totem pole himself over the past four months and it is a nearly exact replica of the famous pole which stands in a park at Vancouver, B C. Last year Cutsforth took a colored picture of the Vancouver pole and used the photo as a pattern for this' work which was done on a pine log provided by Paul Koenig of Heppner Pine Mills. The Morrow county totem pole is a dupli cate even to the colors used by the Indians for their pole. The totem pole was only partially completed when Portland papers announced that a Willamette Valley man was making one for the Centennial exposition, so the Morrow county carver "turned on the steam" to get his done first. Cutsforth's cabin is visible to the right of the pole. (Photo by C A Ruggles) CATTLE RUSTLERS, STEAK STYLE .
