Sunday and he reprinted them
and - gave Jo a lesson in
printing pictures. 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

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

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",
