Asks New Bids
On Building Here
(Continued from page 1)
cash carryover that might be
expected to accrue at the end
of the fiscal period if the emerg
ency fund were not used and
by including an item in the next
year's budget to help close the
gap.
The legal advertisement for
bids is elsewhere in this paper.
Although not on the agenda,
the matter of location of River
side High school came up for
discussion after Attorney Robert
Abrams had written a letter ex
pressing the opinion that the
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
in Washington, D. C, might ob
ject to the school being located
in Irrigon on the grounds that
it would not be strictly "re
placing the facilities In kind,"
as the engineers have agreed to
do. He pointed out that the Eng
ineers are not buying the school
but have merely agreed to re
place it "In kind."
"I think the board would be
taking an awful chance if It put
all the school facilities in Irri
gon," he said in explaining his
letter. This might jeopardize the
funds being allowed for re
placement, he pointed out.
A committee of five board
members will go to the northern
part of the county early in Sep
tember to study sites and will
report at a directors' meeting
September 10. At the last meet
ing the board voted 4-3 against
moving the high school to a site
at Irrigon.
In other actions Monday night
the directors voted to eliminate
the 2:30 p.m. bus at Lexington,
reiterated a stand that member
ship in the Oregon Education
association Is not a requirement
for teaching in Morrow county,
and reached an agreement on
tuition charges for students liv
ing in Gilliam county and at
tending school here.
Van Houte discussed briefly
the measure that will appear
on the general election ballot
In November that would repeal
the school reorganization law. If
the measure passed, Morrow
county would revert to a county
unit system with basically the
same organization as under the
present administrative system,
he said.

Short Week Coming;
Early Copy Needed
Because of the impending
short week, due to the Labor
Day holiday, the Gazette
Times would like to have news
items of all kinds and adver
tising submitted as early as
possible. Any that may be
turned in Friday or Saturday
will be appreciated.
Most of the staff will enjoy
the holiday with a day off,
but someone probably will be
in the office most of the day
to take news and advertising
and to answer telephone calls.
Stores to Close
For Labor Day
In case you have forgotten in
the excitement of fair, horse
show and rodeo time, Monday
will be a holiday Labor Day
and most stores will be closed for
the day.
Many have also said that they
will close for the Saturday after
noon performance of the rodeo.
This means that those needing
groceries and goods for the week
end, as well as back-to-school
needs, should stock up early.
Delegation Set
To See Governor
An appointment has been
made with Governor Mark Hat
field in Salem at 11 a. m. Tues
day, September 4, for the purpose
of seeking information on the
present status of the North Mor
row county Industrial develop
ment, County Judge Oscar Peter
son states.
It is expected that some 10 per
sons from the county will make
the trip to visit with the govern
or on the matter. Sam Mallicoat,
director of the State Department
of Planning and Development,
will also be present.
"We want to know what we
can expect and when the Boeing
deal will definitely be culmin
ated, the judge said.
In a letter written by the judge
to various persons around the
county who may be interested in
going, ne said, "The Boaruman
Industrial Park and that whole
area (North Morrow county) are
very vital parts of the county and
certainly we are interested."
Over The
Tee Cup
Seven golfers responded to the
invitation to plav Kinzua last
week in a return match. Heppne
gals coming home with prizes

Water Ski Club
Plans New Stunt
At Monday Show
McNary Yacht club's water
ski troupe, including performers
from lone and Morrow county as
well as others from riermiston
and Pendleton, will stage a
"world's first" with a new stunt
at a ski show presented to the
public on Monday, Labor Day,
Ray Heimbigner reports. The
show will be in the vicinity of
Hat Rock park at 3:30 and the
public is invited to watch with
out charge.
Three of the members will do
what they believe is the world's
first shoe ski pyramid. Tom
Heimbigner of lone and Gary
Tripp, a friend from Seattle, ski
ing side by side on the short
shoe skis, will carry Cherie Vogel
on their shoulders in the very
difficult stunt. Pyramids are or
ten done on regular skis but not
on shoe skis,
Although the show will be
staged from the yacht club, it
will run over the club's course
and those at Hat Rock park will
have a grandstand view of the
event.
Ray Heimbigner, chairman, of
the troupe, says that the 23 num
bers on the program include all
ski stunts that have been per
formed at the World's Fair plus
the first shoe ski pyramid and
the first pyramid to be under
taken over a jump.
Besides Tom Heimbigner, oth
ers from lone on the program
will be Merrie Jo Morrison,
daughter of ,Mr. and Mrs. Jodie
Morrison, and Linda, Mark, Joe
and Frank Halvorsen, whose par
ents are Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Hal
vorsen. Jackie Howton, now of
Hermiston but formerly of lone,
will also perform. From Heppner
will be Larry Prock. Some 15
others are in the troupe.
Smooth water is a "must" for
presentation of the show, the
chairman points out. If it is
rough and windy, the perform
ance cannot be staged.
Among events listed are:
Group skiing using jump for over
and under, backward skiing, can
noe paddles, doubles on saucer,
helicopter over and under, sau
cer over jump, ballet (heel tow
ing), somersault over jump, dou
ble jumping on same pair of skis,

On Game Refuge
On River Front
(Continued from Page 1)
Ted Smith of Pendleton brought
out the fact that if the area is
tied up by the federal govern
ment is may be lost for better
and more important future uses.
He felt that the land, which is
located primarily between Board
man and Irrigon but extends also
west from Boardman, has much
greater potential and that the
management area could be work'
ed out in some other area.
Some pointed out that noise
of the proposed Boeing develop
ment and low flying aircrait
through Navy corridors would
not make it a very desirable ref
uge for the birds, and also that
chemicals from Boardman's mos
quito control program may be
detrimental to the wildlife.
Probably an equal number
spoke for the waterfowl manage
ment area, although few were
from this immediate area. In
cluded were representatives of
the U. S. Bureau of Sport Fish
eries and Wild Life, the Oregon
State Game Commission and the
Washington Department of Game
as well as sport clubs from the
Tri-Cities area.
Colonel J. H. Beddow, Walla
Walla district engineer, presided
at the hearing which was attend
ed by nearly 100 persons.
Paul T. Quick, director of the
Pacific region of the Bureau of
Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, out
lined the proposal which would
set aside the 29,730 acres of land
and water for the waterfowl
management area. Flooded hab
itats for waterfowl, due to con
struction of dams on the river,
have made it important to estab
lish new refuges, he said.
Quick declared that the bene
fits to be gained would more
than justify costs of acquisition,
development and management.
Cost of land acquisition is fig
ured at $670,000, cost of primary
development at $680,000 and cost
of annual operation and main
tenance at $66,000. Of the total
area, 8750 acres would be ac
quired by the Corps of Engineers
for purposes other than water
fowl management, 3300 now pri
vately owned would be acquired
for the project, and 530 acres
would be withdrawn from the
public domain.
The State Department of Plan
ning and Development has taken
no stand, either for or against
the establishment of the man
agement area. The Federal gov
ernment already owns part of the
land through the Bureau of Land
Management but the rest would
have to be acquired.
Smith, speaking for the Space
Age Industrial park, said that
cost of the area would be some
$1,500,000, differing sharply with
those offered by Quick. He point
ed out that if the navy pulled out
and left the bombing range, this
fast area of potential industrial
sites would be left without river
frontage. He also pointed out the
difficulty of reacquiring lands
that have gone into Federal own
ership. WEATHER

100 Men Control
650-Acre Blaze
The worst grain and field fire
of the season covered 650 acres
on ranches owned by John Han
na, Jr., and Dick Wilkinson on
Hinton Creek Friday before it
was brought under control by
a crew of some 100 men who
battled it.
Tractor exhaust was blamed
for setting the blaze about 11
a.m. It swept over 140 acres of
Hanna's barley and spread to
the adjoining ranch that Wilk
inson had purchased recently
from Dallas Craber. On the latter
ranch, 15 acres of wheat were
destroyed. Grazing land and
fences were also hit by the fire.
Wilkinson said that $540 dam
ages were paid by the insurance
company on the wheat, but loss
to fences and other property
probably equalled this amount.
Heppner rural fire protection
district equipment went to the
scene, manned by Heppner fire
men. They were handicapped by
the steep terrain and strong
winds. Other tractors, sprayers
and tankers, as well as county
equipment, were pressed into
service.
