Mustangs Finish Season at
By GREG GREEN
Heppner v Condon
The Heppner Mustangs drew
losing note against the Condon
Blue Devils Saturday as they
wrapped up this season play at
District in Pendleton.
Condon jumped to an early
lead and stayed there most all
of the way in the 85 70 victory
over the Mustangs.
Uoyd Wilson led all scores
with 27 points. John Boyer was
right behind with 22 for
Heppner. Wilson also led in
rebounding with 11.
Hrppner vs McEwen
The night before was equally
disappointing for the Mustangs
as they fell to the District
champions. McEwen, 83 - 72.
Tony Villnueva and Jeff
Bushman combined for 63
points and this was the major
factor in the Heppner defeat.
Boyer topped Heppners scor
ing attack with 30 tallies. Wilson
followed with 14 and Allen
McCabe dumped in 12.
Heppner vs Helii
Heppner forced 29 turnovers
from Helix, most of them
coming from the Mustangs
second half press. As they
dumped the Grizzlies 86 - 69
during the first night of league
play.
Heppner w as ahead by only a
few points much of the first half,
but managed to command a 15
mint lead in the third quarter
and as high as 24 points ahead
early in the fourth period.

Students & Business Men tour Pacific Gas Pumping Plant
Roger C. Thompson, public
information representative of
Pacific Gas Transmission Co.
and Chet Bond, area superin
tendent from Wallula and Pete
Anest, senior pilot were at the
Heppner-Morrow County
Chamber of Commerce Monday
to present an informative pro
gram on their gas line.
Roger started with the "low
profile" that the gas company
has through the county by
calling attention to the ad that
ran in last week's Gazette
Times, the ad shows a picture of
the marker that asks anyone
about to dig in the area to call
(509) 534-0657 collect, "Just
about all you ever see of us".
These markers seen intermit
tently along their gas line with
an occasional valve and the
pumping station is all that is
seen in Morrow County because
they are only passing through
enroute to deliver the gas in
southern California.
He said "our greatest dread is
having a farmer dig into our
line". The 3 foot pipes are laid
at a minimum of three feet and
sometimes deeper. Slides
illustrated the operations of the
pumping stations.
The line from Alberta to
California is 612 miles long and
carries an enormous amount of
energy. Pacific Gas acts as a
carrier for El Paso Gas Co. and
diverts gas to them at several
points in the Northwest. The
line carries nearly eight times
as much energy as is produced
by Grand Coulee Dam or equal
to that delivered by all the
dams on the Columbia.
The pumping stations, 15 total
gives the "kick in the pants" to
move the gas along at a faster
speed. The speed diminishes as
it goes through the pipe and the
pumping stations give it the
neressarv boost to the next
pumping station.

this t'ime with 32 tallies. 12 in the
third quarter. Allen McCabe
contributed 23 points and Dave
Eckman canned 12 counters.
John Boyer's total of 84
tourney points gave him a 28
point average per game to lead
all District scorers. Jeff Bush
man of McEwen had a 26 point
average and Tony VUlanueva
also of McEwen was third with
a 25 point average.

the trip from Alberta to
California. S
The idea that the gas comes -
from a hole in the ground was
disDelled when tiie speaker
passed around a core of porous I ,
rock found under a layer of ,
impervious material. The gas is jj
trapped in the pockets of the
porous rock.
At each of the several 100
wells in Alberta, the gas is
dehydrated to remove the
moisture and sulphur, carbon
dioxide and heavier carbons are
extracted from the gas and sold
as by-products.
The gas is measured at the
border between Canada and the
United States. A train of tank
cars 32 miles long would be
required to carry the 23.000 tons
of gas earned through the pipe

At lone
The Compressor at lone
Station No. 9 driven by "an
airplane jet engine proved to be
the most fascinating part of the
tour which the students of the
chemistry and physics classes
of Heppner High School and
advanced math classes from
lone High School enjoyed early
in the afternoon. Several
members of the Chamber of
Commerce also went on the
tour.
The exhaust from a Rolls
Royce Jet engine using natural
gas fuel, blows the fan that
turns the compressor pump that
pushes the gas on down the line.
As it goes through the compres
sor, the gas becomes heated and
expands. In order to cram more
gas into the pipe it goes into the
cooler where it is air cooled with
big fans.
The cooler outside of the
building and the compressor
building is very' very noisy. Ear
protectors are required by the
workmen. Some of the students
put them on too.
The other building houses an
electronic board. Jim Hein of
Hermiston and Ed Liebert of
Walla Walla visit the pumping
plant every day. All of the
pumping plants are controlled
at Spokane. They are regulated.
Heppner Cheerleaders
win Trophy
An outstanding year of cheer
leading, including long hours of
practice and planning, was
recognized Saturday, when it
was announced at the District
Basketball Tournament that ihe
Heppner varsity cheerleaders
were the winners of the rally
trophy.
Tears came to the girls' eyes
tand cheers sprang from the
crowd when the announcement
w as made The rally earned 22 9
points out of a possible 24.
All the cheerleaders at the
tournament w ere in competition
for the coveted award. The rally
squads are judged during each
dav of tournament action.
The varsity cheerleaders are
seniors Barb Sherman. Lisa
McCabe and Debbie Peck;
juniors Toni Toll and Donna
Bellamy.
Special recognition should
also be given to the Heppner
High Pep Band, under the
direction of Larry Hildebrandt.
for the enthusiasm the mem
bers displayed throughout the
year. Without the band's hours
of practice and willingness to
play at almost every game and
pep assembly, many of the
and Dale
stopped and started by remote
control from Spokane. The
company has its own micro
wave stations to send messages
to any of the stations as well as
by two-way radio in the
company cars.
Before Canada will export
more gas, they must be assured
of a 30 year supply plus the
present export demands. A
hearing will be held within the
year for an export permit. If
this is granted Pacific Gas
expects to build a 23 mile loop
into Morrow County.
Mr. Thompson mentioned the
two theories held on the source
of the gas. Some maintain the
gas trapped two million years
ago and when it is gone, it's
gone. Others advance the
theory' that 's being formed
continuously.
At the Chamber of Commerce
and follow ing the showing of the
slides for the students at lone
High School, numerous ques
tions were answered.
Scholarship
Pacific Gas has a program of
Vocational and technical
scholarships administered by
the Community and Technical
colleges along the pipe line.
These are administered by the
colleges. BMCC, Central
Oregon Community College and
Oregon Tech in this part of the
things the cheerleaders did
would not have been possible.
Heppner should be proud of
both groups, the cheerleaders
for their w in and the band for its
support.
6th Graders
Eligible for
Boy Scouts
A boy who has completed the
fifth grade or is eleven and with
the approval of his parents or
guard.an is eligible now to
become a Boy Scout.
Formerly, boys had to be at
least 11 years of age to join a
Boy Scout troop, but the
Executive Board of the national
organization has changed the
membership requirement so
that a boy is eligible when he
has -completed the fifth grade
or is eleven."
The Blue Mountain Council
which serves a 12 county area of
Northeast Oregon and South
east Washington has 105 Scout
troops.
Scoutmaster of the Boy Scout
troop in Heppner is Del Piper.
state. These are available to
students after a term or two in
the college. Need rather than
honor roll status is considered
in granting the scholarships.
Turn-over is very small with
the company but there is a wide
variety of work available. The
company has an in-house train
ing program of 42 months. The
trainee has a progressive wage
increase.
Mr. Thompson said they
would meet with any group any
time to answer any questions
and provide a tour of the
pumping station.
