Th animal dressed out about 400 fix (G-T Photo) Mrs. Lillian Key Bags Big Bull It Is said that a hunter mu.t be hardy and experienced to b&g an elk, and even then, less than 20 percent of those golnc out come back with a kill. But last Tuesday, Mrs. Lillian Key Joined the ranks of the michtv hunters when she brought down a biff bull elk be low Moon Meadows somewhere above the North Fork of tne John Day. The 6 point elk weighed more than 400 pounds dressed. The horse that carried out the hind quarters staggered under the weight. Mrs. Key, daughter of City Police Officer Floyd Hutchena, was on the hunt with her father, and Everett Struckmeler and Gail Walker, the latter of Al bany, were also in the party. Among them, they brought back three elk. Mrs. Key said that she hit her elk with three of the shots fired, scoring principally in the shoul der and back. She admitted that she shot several times more. "I was so excited, I don't kno-.v how many times I shot," she said. Attack is Fatal To John H. Ray Servcles for John H.

Coach Glenn Blehl had great words of praise for his enure HneuD. especially citing Rohle Ekstrom, Davidson, Les Madden and Padberg. Five seniors will play their last game at Sisters, including Da vidson, Ken Nelson, halfback, Quarterback Hams, Guard Tom Pointer and Palmer. Coach Biehl expects to take the team to Sisters via The Dalles Friday and plans to stay in Redmond Friday night. In ealnlne the district two championship, Sisters rolled up 449 points In seven games while holding opponents to ou. mey were state 6-man champions In 1957 and 1959. One comparative score finds that Sisters downed Culver this year, 80-25, while lone defeatrd the same team In the first game of the season, 35-21. However, the Cardinals have ben cast in the underdog role before tnis year and seem to perform best when rated second, although their staunch fans would not consider them underdogs in ihe finals. End Bob Hewitt of the Sisters club ran up 94 points In district 2 play and Ralph Shaw scored 54 points. However, their A. J. De marls scored 113 this season and Gerry Tewalt topped that with 115. The team defeated Eddy ville Saurday to reach the slate finals. Coach Blehl believes his team to be in the peak of condition and ready for the all-important clash. As In other contests, lone resi dents will follow their team al most en masse although it will be the third long road trip for them in as many weeks. Again businesses in the Cards' home town show their support and pride for the team with a full page message in this paper. HOSPITAL NEWS VvlAn Elder.

Cantrell also dis cussed Bonneville's problem In selling surplus power which comes when high water provides more generation. This is in con trast with "firm power" which is sold on the basis of minimum flow of the river. Because of in ability to sell this surplus man power, Bonneville's surplus fundi have diminished rapidly. How ever, no increase in rate is con templated, he said. California represents a possible market for surplus power. There it would be used to supplement steam generation, he said. The electricity would be used as a power generation source. "Once it goes there, the power may be lost to us for all time," Cantrell said. Legislation is hoped for that would give the northwest priority on the power surplus as it needs it, even though some is marketed to California.

Hynd 3ld that auditors re IMirted that records were main tained in a reanonably effective system of control and that the balance sheet and financial statement represent a fair and accurate picture of the co-op's status. Manager Harley Young dis cussed the growth of Columbia Basin Co op and pointed out thM few new members can be added because there are few additional potential customers. Increases are due rather to added use rf electricity by present customers. Development of the Boardman area may be one of the most significant factors of the co-op, but "it still is anyone's guess when It will be developed," Young said. The Condon radar base helped make the 115,000-volt trans mission line to Fossil feasible, the manager said. At present It Is operated at 69,000 volta but will be stepped up to the higher voltace when lead increases suf ficiently. Manager Young told or tne RIP A armrriVAl of a loan of $272,- 000 earlier this year to the co-op to Improve service 10 exuun$, customers and to provide some additional new lines, in mferpni-p to Bonneville Power's marketing of surplus power, Young said mat loss i thn Hanfnrd reactors hurt the situation because heat that was generated there could have beer, used for steam generation to i-tahltl-'o ttio nnwer sUDDlV. He felt that Bonneville's difficulty in marketing surplus power could lead to Increased rates eventually. Pointing to the success of elec trical cooperatives, Young de clared that across the nation they are paying back the govern ment at the rate of $8,600,000 per month. Since the start oi thev have Dala Konir ci hi n inn nf the aDDroxl- mately $4 billion borrowed, he declared. Columbia Basin has paid back $610,000 of its maeoc edness, and a considerable part of this is In advance payments, ahead of schedule.

Dealing with the return of a soldier who represented himself as the long missing Larry Ben son, the production had emotion al peaks that evoked hilarious laughter on the one hand and brought tears to the eyes on the other. Many who saw the play were impressed with the skill that the high school players handled the plot, which was rather difficult in places, to convey the mixed feelings of the Benson family when they learned that their son was actually dead and that the returned soldier was a friendly 1m poster. Among those who provoked laughter from the audience were Mrs. Fitch, a crotchetty neigh bor lady, played by Beverly Da vidson; Mrs. Potter, another oyer i Vioinfni neighbor, bv Mary Shannon, and her husband, Wal ter Potter, by BUI eox; ana we ever-present Nettie Clark, por trayed capably by Linda Van Winkle. On the serious side, Freda Benson, mother of the missing boy, was played by Linda Val entine, who was convincing in the big part that she mastered very well. "The boy," ostensibly Larry Benson, was done by John Stratton who conveyed his con fused state well. His "father, Sam Benson as portrayed by v,. urohh u'.na imnationt and Irritable, and succeeded In "reaching" the audience with this characterization. Carol Tholberg as Jessie Ben son, sister of the missing soldier, had an important part in the play and was never out of char acter in her role. Cheryl McGhee as Grace Wilkey conveyed the misery she felt as the former girl friend of Larry Benson who now found htrsclf engaged to an other, as Benson was scheduled to return home. Lesser roles, but played excel lently and contributing to the success of the presentation, were those by Judie Hamilton and Christine Spencer, alternating as Mary Ellen, a teen-ager; Carole Burkenblne as Susan, another teen-ager; Don Clark as Melvin Clark, son of the busy-body, Nettle Clark; little Terry Hughes as Gregory; Gary Van Blokland as Bud Merkel; and Mike Smith, Laura Lee Sumner and John Cleveland who performed as ex tras in Mr. Foss' band. Director of the play was Mrs. Janet Groves, speech and drama teacher at the high school. She was presented with a corsage and gifts by the cast for her line work. A good sized crowd was on hand Saturday night after a ra ther sparse opening Friday night. Those who missed the play missed a good night's entertainment.
