We'll hope to have room to rerun last week's pictures and to run the ones that got left out. I'll tell you.... that going to the Pen is something. I had mixed emotions about going but I do plan to go back again. As I told them. "Chief Joseph said 'un less you have worn your neighbors moccasins for three months you cant Know nis problems'." They could hardly believe that our paper only came out once a week. I told them that in a town as small as ours sometimes there wasn't enough advertising to even put it out once a week. Next time I go I'll take them some issues of the G-T. I'm sure the office would have to check them through to see that there was nothing forbidden in them.

Indian Extension Visitor Sends Greetings Greeting and kind thoughts from India to all people of Morrow County were received at the County Extension office from P.S. Swamy, Extension Agent from India who visited in Morrow County last summer. Swamy was guest at the D O. Nelson farm, the Jerry Myers farm and the Dorris Graves ranch while in the county. He sends word of the drought in Central India, the govern ment efforts to employ the people in conservation efforts to increase food supplies, and mentions the many things he Process Howard llogan of the US Army Corps of Engineers of Walla Walla explained to the Heppner-Morrow County Chamber of Commerce Monday the several heights of dams with varying spaces for alloted water storage that are being considered for the Willow Creek Dam. Several alternate designs and dams have been studied in order to bring the benefit-cost ratio in line with the authorizing document. According to a survey, 60 percent of the people who own 40 percent of the land are interested in the Irrigation benefits.' As a result, space for irrigation storage water may not be included in the dam or reduced. If irrigation storage is includ ed in the reservoir, water rights of those not signing on the irrigation project would be honored. Those in the irrigation project would receive priority for any extra water that would become available. The Corps hasn't abandoned the possibility of providing space for irrigation storage in the reservoir. Various dam levels would provide a protection frequency of occurrence of floods 300 to 400 years and 200 years average. A total space of 2000 acre feet of year round storage for flood water would be left behind the Ham so that one-half of the dam would be empty all the time. In case of a flood, the dam would empty down to the prescribed level as quickly as possible at a rate of 500 CFS (cubic feet per THE KINDERGARTEN Rummage Sale earned approx ' imately $500 this spring which will be a great aid to the kindergarten program in Heppner. iLnDni'ii mitt :A7KTTK.T1MC8. Thursday. Mav 17. 1973 Report on Willow Croch Dam r . Imnnrtant llrarln second.). The dams last studied have been 162 feet high, 144 feet high and 133 feet high. Each one provides a smaller amount of water storage to provide lesser amounts of the same benefits. Lake volume use Includes dead storage for sediment and fish survival, Municipal and indus trial water supply of the city of Heppner, water quality control and joint use: flood control, irrigation, wildlife, sports fish ing and recreation. During the irrigation season it would not be necessary to provide releases of water spe cifically for downstream water quality control since the irriga tion water would serve the same purpose of diluting sewage treatment plant effluent into Willow Creek. The final lake volume use would be exclusive flood con trol, (space reserved for thun derstorm emergency use only). Funds have been appropriat ed to complete pre-construction plans. Plans may be reformu lated in view of environmental controls. The Corps expect to have soon the results of the survey conducted last week by a team from Walla Walla College. They had hoped to work in some Shobe improvements with the Willow Creek project but may be limited to some channel improvement after It enters Willow Creek. "Down stream channel Improvement looks very weak" Mr. llogan said. The Corps needs now "a new construction start and it has to come from Congress", imnnrtant Hearing An imoortant public hearing will be held June 21 at the Court House In Heppner by the Corps of Engineers.
