Lanham Resigns Position
On Heppner Council
Conley Lanham submitted his
resignation as a member of the
city council Monday night be
cause he will be gone for some
six months on a trip to Europe.
It was accepted by his fellows
with best wishes for a pleasant
time.
Lanham was reelected to the
council in November of last year
for a four-year term. The council
has not acted to choose a suc
cessor. Repercussions from late winter
highwater in Heppner brought
a problem to the council at the
meeting. Herman Winter, attorn
ey, appeared on behalf of clients,
Bill Mahan and Mrs. Fred Book
er, asking for restoration of a
retaining wall on the back of
their properties for protection
from Willow Creek. The wall
went out in a storm when water
coming down Donaldson canyon
overflowed at the Chase street
bridge and cut across their prop
erties. There was some discussion
about the city's liability on the
matter but the council finally
took the position that it will try
to correct the washout with the
understanding that it assumes
no legal liability. Superinten
dent Vic Groshens was asked to
get estimates of costs, and Ed
Gonty was named chairman of a
committee to work out details.
At the same time, the council
made it clear that it would be
receptive to petitions from prop
erty owners for formation of an
improvement district to build
IIO. U.I fAT.Off.

curbings that would prevent
such occurrences in the future.
This may be done on an assess
ment basis with repayment over
a period of time.
Building permits surged with
the approval of a $35,125 permit
for the bowling alley now under
construction. A $500 permit for
construction of a 2-car garage
at the Leonard Kummerland
property was approved subject
to approval by Fire Chief Rug
gles, since the property is lo
cated within the fire zone.
Two farm homes served by
city water above the new city
well may have to provide their
own water beginning this com
ing winter. They have received
water from the city's main com
ing from the well above, but if
flow in the new well continues
as at present, the former well
will not be used this winter
Supt. Groshens said that it would
cost the city about $300 to run
the pump to supply these two
farm homes for four months. It
was decided that Groshens and
Recorder Ted Smith notify them
of these instructions by the city
council.
Once again the council dis
cussed the hazard and nuisance
of the old metal shed back of the
Heppner Hotel. Action two years
ago by the council brought the
response that the building would
be repaired, it was reported at
this meeting of the council. How
ever, this has not been done. The
recorder was instructed to write
a letter to the property owner
informing of the existing haz
ard and requesting that the
structure be removed.
Chief of Police Dean Gilman
asked that the council return
Duncan-Miller parking meters
now installed here, buy the aut
omatic meters that have been
installed and add 25 more of the
automatic meters. The action
was approved.
Supt. Groshens brought up the
matter that the new high school
does not have adequate fire pro
tection being served only by a
12-inch water line. He said that
it should have a 6-inch line that
would have to be brought around
the hillside and might cost in
the neighborhood of $10,000. The
matter was left in abeyance un
til word is heard from the school
board.
Groshens reported on the
county's offer to trade city labor
in restoring a 6-inch pipeline
from the courthouse to the
county reservoir for sealing work
on city streets, already done by
the county. Groshens said his
crews could not do the work
now but might later. The matter
was left to him for action.
Red Cross Drive
Brings in Oyer $1300
The 1963 Red Cross drive, to
date, has received contributions
totaling $1,311.66, according to
Rev. Charles Knox, campaign
chairman, and does not include
the money turned in when the
mail -appeal was issued through
the Gazette-Times in April.
Although it did not meet the
quota of $1500 set up at the time
of the door-to-door canvass drive
between June 17 and 27, it is
felt that good achievement was
made.
In expressing appreciation, the
Rev. Knox states, "I want to
thank each one who helped
make this drive a big success.
This was a busy season, but
turned out to be a very reward
ing experience for our commun
ity and Morrow county."
Mr. and Mrs. Lester Tubbs of
Portland spent the week-end
here with her cousin, Mrs.
Amanda Duvall. They attended
a picnic dinner Sunday at Battle
Mountain park, together with
Mrs. Julia Lloyd of Springfield,
Mo., who is a houseguest of Mrs.
Duvall. Others present at the
picnic were Mr. and Mrs. Niel
White, Pilot Rock; Mr. and Mrs.
Lloyd Waid, Ukiah; Mr. and Mrs.
Kenneth Waid, Ritchie, Anne and
Susan, all of Hermiston; Lenna
Waid, Stanfield; and Mr. and
Mrs. Vernon Waid, Portland. It
was also in honor of the birth
day of Niel White.

'Rustled' Cattle
Find Own Way Home
Seventeen head of cattle
which were thought possibly
to have been rustled from
Grincah Ranches have found
their own way home, Sheriff
C. J. D. Bauman said Thursday
morning.
Last week the cattle turned
up missing and all attempts
to find them failed. A $100
reward was offered by Grincah
Ranches for their recovery,
and a Portland daily news
paper had a big spread on its
front page telling of what
might be the biggest case of
cattle rustling in years.
But the missing cattle non
chalantly wandered home by
themselves and no one got
the reward, the sheriff said.
A few calves are still missing.
Mr. and Mrs. Bert Huff and
family will leave Friday on two

in the First National Bank here.
