HEPPNER (ORE.) GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, October 4, 1973
Flash flood calory . . .
(Continue from Page l
contains a tone receiver,
battery, power supply and a
set of Indicator status lights.
According to Heppner Fire
Chief Forrest Burkenbine, this
alarm system could be con
nected to the existing fire
alarm system in Heppner.
Each of the flash flood
alarm systems will cost $5,000
and maintenance cost would
be $1500 a year. The Depart
ment of Commerce will install
and maintain the alarm sys
tems and the only remaining
cost left is the telephone and
power bill.
The other flood warning
system, the precipitation
gauge, could be installed at
either Shobe Canyon or Balm
Fork.
This system would relay to a
satellite such information as
precipitation, river crests,
river speeds, temperatures
and flood data.
The data would be recorded
every IS minutes and trans
mitted to the satellite, where it
would be sent to a central
recording station on the East
Coast. Then the information
would be sent to the Portland
weather office. In case of a
flash flood, the recorded data
could be obtained in Portland
in a matter of minutes.
Dave Franien, Soli Con
servation Service, pointed out
"This precipitation gauge
would help evalute the work
done on the Shobe Canyon
watershed. It would tell how
much water is at the head of
tne canyon, and with a stream
flow gauge we could record
the measure of flow down
stream." This precipitation gauge
would also cost $5,000 with the
government picking up all the
cost.
"Both these systems could
be installed before June of
1974," concluded Bauman.
"All that needs to be done is
the approval of the community."

Eugene-'The American
economy can no longer stand
the atrain of excessive gov
ernmental Interference," Ore
gon Senator Bob Packwood
uid today In speech at the
annual Associated Oregon
Industries and Oregon Retail
Council Conference at the
Eugene Hotel.
"In 1071, 1 was one of four
United States Senators to
oppose legislation to give the
president the power to impose
restraints on our economy,"
Packwood explained, "as I
felt at that time the economy
was resilient enough to sta
bilize Itself without placing
artificial controls on wages
and prices."
"Once the president was
given the authority to restrain
our economy," Packwood
pointed out, "I felt It appro
priate to support his efforts.
"It now appears that wage
and price controls are being
administered so unfairly and
unwisely as to render them
useless, and I fear even
harmful, in combating Infla
tion," Packwood protested.
"The Cost of Living Council
has, in my opinion, developed
some of the most lll-concelved
and Ill-planned economic
remedies that we have teen
thus far."
"I, for one, would find It
extremely difficult to vote for
the continuation of the au
thority which has established
such unfair practices," the
Oregon Senator concluded. "It
may be time for the experts to
give the economy breather
and allow It to reach Its own
level of operation."
