Umatilla Basin Water Findings Reported At Meeting In Pendleton A summary of the findings of the Umatilla Basin Investi gation was presented by the staff of the Oregon State Water Resources Board at a public meeting on Monday evening, June 24, at the Vert Clubroom in Pendleton. The findings will be presented In greater detail in a report which will be published by the board in the near future. The Umatilla Basin includes the entire Willow Creek and Umatilla Drainages and the Ore gon portion of the Walla Walla Drainage. The investigation was conducted to study existing water resources of the basin, to determine means and methods of conserving and augmenting such resources, and to determine existing and contemplated needs of water for domestic and live stock, municipal, irrigation, power, industrial, mining, rec reation, wildlife, fish life and pollution abatement purposes. The findings and conclusions of the investigation will serve as a basis for establishing a For One-Stop Service Take Your Car To Wayne's Chevron Service At Heppner Ford 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. week days 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays TELLS ML II EXCLUSIVE II "' " ' ' JWIimn,wl ,1 III tsaKWscaMS ! "Billy broke our best teacup. Kitty's going to have kittens. Are you coming home soon, Daddy?" These were the startling revelations of a young woman when her father called home from a business trip.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST BELL - TIMES, Thursday, July 18, 1963 EXTRA ' i water policy for the use of the unappropriated waters of the basin. This will be binding on all state agencies but will not interfere with existing rights. A continuing phase of the board's work will be to relate potential development to water supplies and needs and then to assist in promoting those devel opments that appear feasible and would be beneficial to the area, and to the state. The presentation summary in cluded discussions of general physical data; the economic base of the area, the relationship be tween available and presently appropriated water, present use and associated problems for the ten beneficial uses listed above, problems associated with flood ing, drainage and erosion, and future needs and potential de velopments. Findings and concl u s i o n s brought out at the presentation included the following: The Umatilla Basin covers over 4,500 square miles, 4.7 percent of the state area. Eighty-four percent of the ba sin is privately owned, 13 per cent is in federal ownership or management, and the remaining 3 percent is in state, county, and municipal ownership. Wheat, barley, and peas are grown on 83 percent of the 1 million cropped acres. Gross ag ricultural income during 1959 was approximately $50 million with farm crops accounting for $39 million and livestock $15 mil lion. Forested areas cover 14 per cent of the basin and with im proved conservation practices the sustained commercial forest UN '" 'j - Braves Cinch First In second Half Of Play Final League Standings W 6 4 3 2 L 2 4 5 6 Braves Giants Indians Dodgers This week concluded Little League summer baseball action with the Braves taking first spot in both halves of play. They cinched the second half by de feating the Giants Monday, 17-5. The Giants are in second place this half with 4-4 record; the Indians are in third with a 3-5 record; and the Dodgers are in fourth with 2-6 record. All thoughts will be on the an nual All-Star game In The Dalles this week-end, July 19 20. The Willow Creek team will meet The Dalles Westerns in the second game of a doubleheader Friday at 8 p.m. The losers will meet at 6 p.m. Saturday night and the winners will tangle at 8 p.m. The Giants kept on their win ning streak as they dumped the Dodgers last Wednesday night, 13-10, in a free scoring contest. The Dodgers took the lead in the bottom of the first with three runs on two hits to overtake the Giants' two runs in the top of the frame. The Dodgers held the lead until the top of the fourth when the Giants rallied for five runs on three hits and three walks. The Dodgers picked up three more runs in the fourth and fifth, but the Giants widen ed the gap in the fifth with four more tallies and two in the sixth to hold a 13-6 lead going into the bottom of the sixth. The Dodgers got a rally going with four runs but were stopped short and lost the game, yield is estimated between 45 and 60 million board feet an nually. Rangeland and forested graz ing land utilize about 1,600,000 acres or 55 percent of the basin land area. The basin supports over 100 agricultural manufacturing es tablishments that add $28 mil lion to the economy. Recreation is of increasing ec onomic importance to the basin due in part to the large surface water areas which are developed or being developed along the Columbia River. Water produced by the three major streams (Walla Walla and Umatilla Rivers and Willow Creek) plus that produced by tributaries, satisfies exis ting water uses and also replenishes the groundwater reservoir. Water in excess of these requirements presently flows out of the basin. This surface outflow has been estimated at 546,000 acre-feet. As in most areas the portion of the yield that goes to ground water is less well defined. It is, however, an important present and future source of domestic, municipal, industrial, and irri gation water. The maximum legal annual consumption allowed by water rights is over 700,000 acre-feet. Less than 22 percent is actually consumed, most of it through irrigation usage. Irrgiation is and will continue to be the major water use in the basin. At present 75,000 acres are irrigated and there is sufficient land and water available, if properly managed, to double the irrigated acreage and provide for other beneficial uses. Such management would in clude development of water sup plies by storage projects, im proved efficiencies of present water use, and increased use of return flows and major ground water developments. Approxi mately 55 potential storage sites wore pointed out, each with varying degrees of feasibility. Domestic supplies come pri marily from groundwater with some shortages occurring in areas of high use. Municipal supplies are also primarily from groundw a t e r sources and future development will probably continue to rely on the groundwater resource. Industrial supplies are from both surface and ground sources. Much of the high quality in dustrial water is supplied from municipal systems. Power, mining, wildlife and pollution abatement are rela tively minor water users. The present fishery resource is limited to steelhead, resident trout and warm water fish. The basin has a good fishery poten tial but low flows, high tem peratures and stream obstruction arc serious blocks to reaching the potential. The basin is subject to flood ing from excessive stream run off and also from isolated cloud burst type storms. Work to date has been limited to levee and channel work for control of the runoff. Future work is expected to take the form of multi-purpose storage in combination with channel improvements for flodo control and possibly projects of the Heppner reservoir type for control of the cloudburst storms. It was recommended that quantative groundwork studies be made and that a compre hensive basinwlde investigation be made to insure optimum de velopment of the water resource. It was strongly stressed that there was need for coordinated development of surface and groundwater whereby each sup plements the other. i 13-10. Rocky Stephens went the distance for the Giants, allowing 10 runs on 11 hits, four walks, and four strikeouts. Kip Scrivner, Kit Anderson, and John Mc Cabe pitched for the Dodgers, giving up 13 runs on seven hits, 16 walks, and 10 strikeouts. The league leading Braves, Thursday night took a 6-3 de cision over the Indians. The Braves held a 3-2 lead after the first frame and widened the gap with two more runs in the third and one in the fifth while hold ing the Indians to a lone tally in the top of the fifth. Bill Mc Leod and Kent Pratt pitched for the winners, giving up three runs on five hits, 12 strikeouts, and five walks. The Indians used Jim Swanson who allowed six runs on six hits, five walks, and six strikeouts. Monday the Braves added to their win column in taking the Giants, 17-5. The Giants open ed the scoring in the top of the first with three runs but the Braves came right back with five runs in the bottom half to take the lead and were never headed as they went on to score in each inning except the fifth. They held the Giants to one run in the second and one in the fifth.

The Indians picked up their first win after a long dry spell in beating the Dodgers, 6-4, in a last moving game Tuesday night. The Indians took their first two games of the second half from the Braves and lost the next five games before this win. The Dodgers got two runs in the second and the Indians tied up the game in the top of the third.
