Last yenr Heppner had to play off with Burns to take third place in this part of the league, then defeat Enterprise to earn the fourth place bracket at La Grande. It may be this tough for the fourth place competitor this year. The Musangs hope that whoever it Is does not follow in their footsteps and knock them out of the state tournament as they did Pilot Rock in 1965. Madras has the Grant Union- Burns trip ahead of it, as does Sherman.

Proposal to Divert Ditch Creek Talked Proposal to divert water to Willow Creek from Ditch creek by means of an impoundment in the Herrin Meadows area was discussed at the Monday meet Ing of the Heppner-Morrow county chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has long been interested in developing a res ervolr for recreational use in the area. It was emphasized that water from the impoundment could be used to supplement the tlow to the proposed Willow Creek reservoir, thereby adding more tor potential irigation use. Judge Paul Jones said that the county has a water right on Ditch Creek and said that the county court is giving the mat ter serious study. He oaid there are no figures available on the amount of flow that could be obtained by the diversion, but he said that some "crude water gauges" are being installed in an effort to obtain an estimate. Orville Cutsforth and Glen Ward, who attended the meet ing, said that they had gone to the area Monday morning in the hope of making a tentative survey but were turned back by 14 Inches of snow at Cutsforth Park. Cutsforth is chairman of the county parks commission and Ward represents the state game commission as agent in mis area. cutsiortn also revealed an idea he has for the creation of a wild area of some 8,000 to 10,- uuu acres in the Arbuckle Moun tain and Cutsforth Park areas and said that he had discussed the matter with Congressman Al Ullman. This is the country mat ne saia is Known as "The Devil's Half Acre." Attention to the water and recreation matters came up fol lowing a review of last week's informational meeting in HeoD- ner on the Willow Creek project with Judge Jones commenting on the meeting. I The Judge emphasized the need for all interested in the project to become better public relations people. Cutsforth. who said that the ranchers who are hesitant about the project "have their side, too," said that he and others are considering formation of an irrigation district to bring wa ter from the creek to irrigate on higher land in the Lexington (Continued on page 8) provides an opportunity for the delegates to visit personally with- state government officials and to ask questions. The delegation was composed of a boy and a girl from each county along with six county extension agents as group lead ers.
