C Penney store In The Dalles lor the past two years 1 ,npre ,s bdouj. twice as targe in volume as ine siore in neppner. At Burns, he will succeed Home Iredale as manager.

Offices Under a "dualization" plan an- ncunced bv the Union Pacific agent Hepp- be- Elmer here for lone sta- Liart of er in leppner ippner depot will be considered as the headquarters tfii-e um'ei the dual plan, but Bishop will continue to make his home in lone, at least for the present, Schmidt said. A "new" depot for Heppner awaits erection. It is the pre fab depot that was formerly lo cated at Heppner Junction and is now in Heppner in a box car.

President Asks Sum ForPlanning Telegram from Congressman Al Ullman said Tuesday that President Johnson's fede r a 1 budget requests Include $51,000 for the Bureau of Reclamation in connection with the Willow Creek project. Identical telegrams were re ceived bv County Judge Paul Jones and The Gazette-Times, saying, "President did not re quest funds for Corps of Engi neers' construction of Willow Creek project; however, request was made in budget lor i,uuu for Bureau of Reclamation to prepare final Irrigation features, contracts, etc. Will work to ob tain approval of appropriation committee for construe tlon funds. Signed, Al Ullman." The announcement was greet ed with optimism here by pro ponents of the Willow Creek project. Judge Jones said he has the understanding that if either the Bureau of Reclamation or the Corps of Engineers received any appropriation for the project that, through a working agree ment, the one would share with the other to get the project started. If the budgeted item is ap proved by Congress, this might get the project ln motion, he speculated. The judge said that he plan ned to call Ullman Wednesday to seek clarification on the mat ter. While the president did not include ln his budget request funds for Willow Creek construc tion, Ullman has consistently stated that he will continue ef forts to get the appropriation, a -pledge that he repeated in his Tuesday telegram. While the WIlow Creek proj ect is an Army Corps project, the Bureau of Reclamation Is concerned with the irrigation feature. Thus, an appropriation of $51,000 for start of work on this feature would be another step towards culmination of the project.
