Planning the resources of
our inland water-ways for the
future to reap the most
efficient and satisfying bene
fits is the aim of the newly
named Pacific Northwest
Waterways Ass'n. the follow
up of Inland Water Ways
Ass'n. according to H. Calvert
Anderson, executive vice
president as he spoke to the
Heppner-Morrow County
Chamber of Commerce Mon
day He stressed the need of the
regional concept of planning
as Washington, Oregon, Idaho
and western Montana, are
bound together by the Snake
Columbia, Willamette river
system.
This planning has had as its
objective: building an econ
omy that will produce jobs,
profits and a better standard
of living and second creating a
total environment in which all
citizens may share in the
benefits of economic stability.
"We depend on water and
land combination for reclama
tion development, a major
share of our power production,
avenues of transportation and
an increasingly large portion
of our recreational opportun
ities. We must also deal with
protection of water supplies,
protection from uncontrolled
floods and the safeguarding of
aesthetic, historical and philo
sophic values".
Each of these areas has its
own supporters. No one group
can be all things to all people
all times. He named the six
basic areas as: flood control,
reclamation and irrigation,
electric power development
and transmission, navigation,
environmental factors and
recreation.
There are still streams
needing flood control meas
ures. Storage of excess run-off
to prevent floods has been an
important factor in the devel
opment of comprehensive use
of water resources. He said
estimates run from 10 to 15
million acres more of fertile
irrigable land if and when
water supply can be found and
justified in Central Oregon,
Southern Idaho and Central
Washington.
How dependent we are on
food and fibre raised on
irrigation lands is shown by
the 1970 farm commodities in
Washington. Farm commod
ities contributed nearly one
billion dollars to the economy
of the state. Of these 40 crops,
19 are directly dependent on
irrigation and 11 others are
closely allied.
Multi-purpose dams is the
key word. They impound
water for irrigation, contri
bute to flood control and in
most instances produce elec
trical energy and often add to
our transportation system.
More generator units and
projects under construction
can bring the Federal genera
tion system to a total of 33
plants with a capacity of
27,058,780 kilowatts. Public
power and private power are
now producing 12 million more
kilowatts. Power planners tell
us that by 1992 we will be using
56 million kilowatts instead of
the 19 million we are consum
ing today.
The comprehensive plans
calls a full navigational devel
opment of harbors, ports and
waterways. When the lock was

Petitions have been return
ed for part of the Lexington
offices to be filled at the Nov. 7
election. Most residents of
Lexington and the present
council can't remember when
they last held an election.
Some say it is 20 years.
For the position of mayor,
two petitions have been re
turned. One for Truman
Messenger Sr. and one for"
Eldon Padberg. There are
four council seats to fill.
Petitions have been returned
for Cliff Williams, Del Piper
and Lee Padberg. A petition
for Ron Riley as Recorder and
Treasurer has been filed.
Several more petitions out
are expected back before the
deadline which is 15 days
before the Nov. 7 election.
The apparent need for an
election arose when Mervin
"Red" Leonard moved to
Hermiston. He had been
mayor since he was elected in
1952. Others on the council at
this time are Eldon Padberg,
Wilbur Steagall, Roy Camp

councilman and Gene Orwick
secretary and Bud Wilson,
treasurer.
Petitions may be obtained at
