J Hynd Reports Creek nRntri Drw Arint ' 1 - - A After Long Drouth Durlr-ff the past few days Willow Creek, gaining momen tum under fall rains, has reai hed the area In the creek ted that has been dry at the Hynd Bros, place since about June. Herb Hynd reported Wed nesday. The flow hat connected up Miring hole In the creek bed In the area north of Cecil after the dry ajK-ll. Whether the flow has gone on to reach the Columbia as yet Hynd could not say. It would take a day or two lo make the 13 mile trip over porous spot he aalii. Herb said that springs from a Uhji 12 mllea south of the Columbia often feed enough water into the stream so that It flows on to the river, al though there are dry stretches between the Cecil area and lone. Hynd states that he wishes he had kept a record on the dates that the creek dried up in the early summer and when it started to flow through the place in the winter, but he has not. This year seems to be about normal, he said. It surprises some people in the Heppner area to see so much water going down the creek when they realize that it is only now reaching the northern ends of the creek, Hynd declared. "Some people don't believe me when I tell them that I have seen years when there was never a drop of water in the creek here for the entire year," Hynd said. He said this looked as if it might be one of thoc years until recent rains came. Now the bituatlon is much improv ed and the grass is getting green out on the range as well. x For Rush The Hepnpner Vmt Office.

Curtain time is at 8 p.m. and tickets can be purchased from members of the junior class or at the door. The play Is a fantasy about the past and the present Berry family who live in a picturesque hidden valley in the hills of California. EJdon Berry (David Clark) is the present Berry who suddenly finds that his crops are doing too well. Everything is grown in rampant profusion strawberries as big as your head sunflowers taller than, the house, beanstalks that grow before your eyes! Most unusual of all is Eldon's cow. Minnie, who gives gallons those who drink it hear weird music and see people who walked the earth many years before. Eldon's girl friend. Prim, (Shirley Erwin) comes from a nearby valley that is being flooded by an unscrupulous land operator, Tobias J. Everheel (Tim Dnscoll). He is assisted bv his timid tractor driver, Tinker Smith (Gene Heliker). Maureen Doherty, Tinker's girl friend, and Brenda Young as Eva Friese from the creamery complete the cast of the present.
