site, one mile east of Sunflower
Fiats road, which would be lim
ited to five or six acres.
Another site on Balm Fork
could form a reservoir of some
30 acres with a dam in a rock
gorge.
The Kelly Prairie site would
require a dam 70 feet high, 600
feet wide, and it would impound
a reservoir of some 100 acres,
Judge Jones said.
Meet After Tour
Following the tour, Meyers,
Kcrnan and Ward met with
Judge Jones and Commissioner
Van Winkle Tuesday morning to
consider possibilities further.
The Judge said after the meet
ing that the game commission
is interested in pursuing plans
for adding impoundments as
time and money permits. In
crease in the license fees by the
1967 legislature will help make
the funds available, as was
pointed out In a talk at the
Chamber meeting.-.
An appraiser lor the game
commission is coming next week
to check land values at the var
ious sites. The commission is
bound by law to abide by the
results of its appraisal, the
judge pointed out and if prop
erty owners ask too - much for
their land, the commission could
not proceed towards the pur
chase. Before an impoundment is es
tablished, an engineering sur
fey must be made by the com
mission to determine if it is
feasible.
"There is some hope of get
ting an impoundment next year
and having it stocked with le
gal fish by 1969," the judge said.
Ivey Ethusiastic
One of the most enthusiastic
on the tour was Ivey. who is
making a study in connection
with a comprehensive plan for
south Morrow county, similar to
one completed some time ago
for the northern part of the
county.
"I am utterly astounded at the (
rV.rOi U All Li ITS ICVICdUUIl 111
Morrow county," Ivey said, add
ing that he did not realize such
potential existed In this part of
the state.
At the Chamber meeting.
Ward conducted the informal
discussion on the impound
ments and introduced the visit
ing officials. He gave a resume
of the possible , sites for impoundments.
Meyers discussed guidelines
for priority ratings on construc
tion, listing four points: 1. quan
tity and quality of water; 2.
comparative costs per acre foot;
3 the need (in such a place as
the Bend area, he said, the need
is low because of thelarge num
ber of lakes, but in Morrow
county, it is high); 4. access
(proximity to population).
In connection with the latter
point, Meyers added that he is
no longer sure that this guide
line means much.
"I don't believe we could set
up any place where the fisher
men wouldn't use it to the max
imum,'" he said.
'Not In Parle Business'
The Game Commission is not
interested in setting up an im
poundment unless there is some
other agency to take care of the
sanitation problem, Meyers said.
"This means going into the
park business, and we don't
want to go into the park busi
ness." Presumably the recrea t i o n
area, with sanitary facilities,
would be developed on a coop
erative basis with the county or
the Forest Service.
Meyers said that there is con
siderable value to impound
ments which are often over
looked, among them being: 1.
benefits to a watershed pro
gram; 2. help with flood con
trol; 3. adding to aesthetic val
ues; 4. help to stabilize water in
the area.
Mallery told of how the Bull
Prairie project had attracted far
more use than had been predic
ted, and pointed out the predic
ted use of Jubilee dam that is
being proposed for Umatilla
county. The project there will
cost the Forest Service about
$500,000. It will have 45 camp
sites and a road that will cost
some $30,000.
The forest supervisor also
said that plans are underway to
pave the road into Bull Prairie.
He added, "I'm happy to be in
tills program."
Kernan said that one problem
encountered by the game com
mission is that "publicity gets
ahead of the engineering.
"We're sometimes told to
build an impoundment before
the engineering is done. One of
these days, we will be told to
build one that won't fill up."
He told of the necessity of se
curing good sites, good foundat
ions for a dam, and for getting
materials for the earthfill dams.
This was a problem at Bull
Prairie.
Brief remarks were added by
Heckeroth, who said that he
"has been accused of trying to
stock people's rain barrels," and
by Judge Jones and Cutsforth.
Wes Sherman presided at the
Chamber meeting in the absence
of Herman Winter, president.
Harley Sager introduced Norman
Supple as the new man in the
Heppner branch of First Nat
icnal Bank, and Sager was com
mended for his good work as
treasurer of the Chamber.-

at 10:00 a.m. Monday School for

Morrow County's
Budget Adopted
Morrow county's budget for
1967-68 was approved at the
public hearing called Wednes
day morning, June 7, without
anyone appearing to speak
either for or against the budg
et. The budget was formally
adopted as published, County
Judge Paul Jones said.
The budget lists total require
ments of S692.290, of which
S318.014 is to be raised by tax
es. All of the tax levy is either
within the 6 limitation or not
subject to the limitation.
One Budget Shows
Decrease in Taxes!
Here's toal news:
One budget for 1967-68
that of the Heppner Cemetery
Maintenance district is be
low its budget for 1966-67.
This appears to be a singular
achievement at a time when
budgets onlv seem to go up.
The 1967 63 budget, publish
ed for the first time this week
in The Gazette-Times, calls for
total taxes to be levied of
$7,750. This is $15(X1 below the
amount levied for 1966 67.
Total budget requirements
are $33,510, but resources are
listed at $26,510. Budget for
the current year has total re
quirements of $31,450 but re
sources are listed at only
$22,600. Perpetual care fund
shows available cash on hand
of $16,500 for the beginning
of the 1967-68 year.
No vote is required on the
cenieterv budget because it is
within the limitation. The
district could have gone to
$9800 and remained within
the limitation; instead, how
ever, it held to $7,750.00.
One of the reasons that the
budget has not been increas
ed is that the cash carryover
is higher than that of last
vear. Carryover in the gener
al fund is set at $5,000 as
compared with $2,450 in the
general fund at the same time
last year.
Public hearing on the budg
et has been set for July 5. at
7:30 p.m. in the Heppner city
hall.
John Pfeiffer is chairman of
the district board of directors
and Dr. E. K. Sehaffitz is
chairman of the budget committee.
North BLM Lands
May Be Classified
For Public Sale
(Continued from page 1
with the BLM tracts are lands
now being held under private
ownership.
Meetine with the county court
Tuesday afternoon was Leo Sim
mons of the Bureau oi Land
Management, who was working
out the mechanics with the
court for the forthcoming meet
ing.
After the July 12 hearing,
BLM officials will go over the
proceedings, make final recom
mendation, and tnis must rje
approved in Washington, D. C,
before the lands would be of
fered for sale.
Judge Jones issued a state
ment on the BLM recommenda
tion, saying "I am real pleased
that classification is completed
and ready to proceed. It's some
thing we've worked for during
the past 24 months, and it is a
big step towards developing ag
riculture in the North End."
The judge stated that sale of
the lands could add $750,000 to
the county tax roll, adding prop
erty upon which taxes never
have been paid.
Bob Abrams and daughters
traveled to Everett, Wash, over
the week-end to visit with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Ab
rams, and brother-in-law and
sister, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Haskell,
and family. He and two mends
attempted a scheduled Mazama
climb of White Horse Mountain
but encountered bad weather
and had to turn back.
