Timber Reappraisal

Underway
Reappraisal of all private
timberlands in Morrow county
i now underway, nod Thomson,
county assessor, announces.
Here to start the work is James
F. O'Donnell, and he will be
joined perhaps this week by
raui Lorenz, wno will be super
visor. Both men are state ap
praisers and have completed
similar work in Umatilla coun
ty. Their salaries and other costs
of the appraisal are shared by
the county and state under a
contract signed in 1961.
Reappraisal must be complet
ed by January 1, 1964, in order
that Morrow county receives its
fair share of the state's new
timber severance tax which is
apportioned on the basis of its
limber value. The severance tax
replaces the former ad valorem
tax.
O'Donnell said early this
week that he did not believe the
timber lands in Morrow county
had ever been fully appraised
There are some 50,000 acres to
cruise and classify, and other
large acreages to be valued, in
(hiding immature timber and re
production.
First job of the appraisers is
to map the timberlands. At the
present time O Donnell is en
gaged in locating section corn
ers, and he is in the field each
week day except Monday. He
asked that ranchers and timber
operators be advised that he
may be on their lands to do his
work. The appraisers carry ere
dentials for their identification
An office for the timber ap
praisers has been set up in the
basement of the courthouse and

Poor TV Reception
Caused by Station
Poor TV reception experienced
from channel 8 (KGW-TV), Port
land, is due to trouble from the
station and not because of any
difficulty in the local cable sys
tem, Carl Spaulding of Heppner
TV, Inc., said Wednesday.
At a meeting of Northwest
Community Television associa
tion, Inc., in Spokane Monday
and Tuesdav, a representative
from KGW-TV explained the
trouble to Spaulding and Don
Wise of Heppner, both of whom
attended.
The station's tower blew down
in the Columbus Day storm. A
temporary one was erected, and
now a new and larger tower
has been installed. However, for
the present the station is oper
ating with its audio on one and
video on the other until adjust
ments are fully made. Result is
some poor picture quality and
buzzing noise. They asked that
the public "bear with them" un
til the installation is completed.

be there on Mondays,
The O'Donnell family is liv
ing in the Labhart place on

wife, Jeanne, and four children
Mary, the oldest who is in kin

and Michael.
The Lorenz family will live
in the Phil Blakney home but

Umatilla county and the O'Don

Hove Holiday Friday

in the county will be closed
Friday for the George Washing
ton's Birthday holiday, Jim Dris-
coll, postmaster here, announces.
I he county courthouse also
will be closed for the day. How
ever, City Recorder Ted Smith

open for most of the, day, because
this is the busy time of the
month. , ,

holiday for them but they gave
this up when Saturday closing
was started a few years ago.
Heppner stores, unlike the post
office and courthouse,' will ob
serve the first president's birth
day by not only staying open
but staging a special sale as
well.
Christian Ethics Urged
As Cure For Troubles
"The men I see running our
affairs today are making about
as much noise as a little fellow
carrying a cap pistol," Jack Sut
ton, Indianapolis, Ind., head of
the department of men's work
for the United Christian Mission
ary Society, told members and
guests of the Heppner-Morrow
County Chamber . of Commerce
at their luncheon meeting Mon
day. the guest speaker declared
that there are no solutions to
the problems of the world today
"outside of the brotherhood of
man."
"Whatever position you take,
face the issues with the ethics
of Jesus Christ," he charged the
group. "Otherwise we might as
well fold our tents and steal
away."
Sutton, who gave up a prom
ising business career to enter
this present work, said that
"starving nations around the
world are saying to us, 'Either
make us Christians or prepare
to kill us.' We go around with
our heads buried in the sand,
never knowing how much of us
is exposed."
"I invite you to get rid of
your cap pistols and start carry
ing a little dynamite," he con
cluded, alluding to the need for
all to practice Christian princi
ples. Ralph Warren of Portland,
state president of the Christian
Men's Fellowship, introduced
the speaker. Warren was intro
duced by Charles Knox, pastor
of the Heppner Christian church.

Playoffs
Pilot Rock Holds
Key to Pennant
In Hoop Circuit
Pilot Rock holds the key to
the championship of the western
division of the Greater Oregon
basketball league squarely in its
hands this week-end.
The Rockets, out of the run
ning for the title, could well be
the spoilers for either Heppner
or Sherman County, the current
loaders with 6-1 records. Heppner
goes to Pilot Rock Friday night
for its last league game, and
on Saturday night the Rockets
battle with Sherman county.
Time and Place Set
If Play-off Needed
In the event of a playoff
basketball game be t w e e n
Heppner and Sherman county
varsity teams, game time is
set for 8 p.m. Tuesday even
ing, February 26, at the Con
don High school gym, accord
ing to Principal Gordon Pratt.
A preliminary,, probably be
tween Condon and Fossil high
schools will begin at 6:30. Ad
mission prices are. set at $1
for adults and 25c for students.
Student spectator buses will
leave here about 5:30 p.m.
Should Pilot Rock defeat one
of the two teams, the other will
win the title. But if the Rockets
should win both, or lose both,
the championship would still
be deadlocked.
In the case a deadlock remains
after these games, Heppner will
battle with Sherman county lor
the right to meet the eastern
division winner. This playoff
game will be on Tuesday night
in the Condon high gym, a sud
den death affair.
At the present time, Vale
seems to be the likely opponent
from the east, and a best two
of three series is scheduled with
the western division winner for
the right to go to the state tourn
ament at Coos Bay.
Heppner also has competition
Saturday night, playing Mc
Ewen of Athena on the Heppner
nigh lioor in a return non-league
game. The Mustangs topped Mc-
hwen at Athena earlier In the
year, bince then the bcotties have
won the Umatilla-Morrow B
league championship, taking 15
straight in the circuit before be-
ng dumped by lone in the last

During the business session of
the meeting, Judge Oscar Peter
son reported on a hearing on
House Bill 1033, which would
reduce personal property taxes
but impose a receipts tax. Farm
ers are opposing the bill be
cause of its definition of the
word, "inventory," which would
not bring them any personal
property relief.
Orvllle Cutsforth and Judge
Peterson attended the hearing
and resolutions were presented
from the lone Lions and the
Morrow County Farmers Union
opposing the bill.
The chamber taxation com
mittee had been asked to study
the bill and report. Chairman
Ed Dick reported to the meet
ing Monday, pointing out that
It "seems to discriminate against
the farmer."
Ralph Richards, conservationist
for the Heppner Soil Conserva
tion district, urged that the
chamber oppose the cutting of
the state's appropriation for the
Small Watersheds act. He said
that the Ways and Means com
mittee seeks to reduce the ap
propriation by $100,000 which
would seriously curtail water
shed planning throughout the
state. The matter was referred
by Dr. C. M. Wagner, president,
to the development committee
for consideration.
Randall Peterson, merchants
