Rainfall damage reported over vido area
Zenz trial in Turkey posfoncd
Mar than IV inches of rain
sent till and water rushing
down itreama and ditchet,
covering many fields and
roads, and washing out parts
of planted wheat fields in
south Morrow County Monday
morning.
In the Sand Hollow area,
ranchers experienced many
soil erosion problems. The
Don Evans ranch reported
dirt covered many acres of
land, ditches and the road.
The road near the John
Led better ranch in Black
Horse Canyon had over 6
inches of silt. Graders were
dispatched Monday morning
to remove the silt.
In Porcupine Canyon, south
of Ruggs, water ran over the
road causing parts of the
county road to be washed
away.
Soil erosion was experi
enced along the banks of
Shobe Creek, Balm Fork and
Willow Creek towards Lex
ington. Bolce Fulleton and Archie
Munkers both reported rain
had washed top soil from their
planted wheat fields.
Diversion ditches saved
many fields from losing their
valuable top soil and curbed
soil erosions, according to Don
Bellamy of the SCS office.
Rain caused Mrs. Erda
Pieper, Lexington to become
"house-bound" as mud filled
her driveway.
Almw Butter Creek, the
Gordon O'Brien ranch re- ,
ceived extensive soli erosion
damage with the rain washing
top soil from the planted
wheat fields.
A neighbor, Mrs. George
Currin, reported that the rain
flooded roads along Little
Butter Creek.
In Heppner, Mrs. Darlene
Arrington told the Gazette
Times the creek thst runs
along Chase Street was higher
than she had ever seen It.
"I canl believe this is the
same stream where a rattle
snake could crawl on its belly
in the summer," Mrs. Ar
rington said.
As the result of the rain
Monday many of the fields in
the county were at or near
holding capacity.
"Further rain could cause
erosion damage and possible
crop damage."
The scheduled Dec. 7 trial of
two Oregon women being held
in a Turkish jail for trial on
charges of smuggling narcot
ics across the Turkish-Syrian
border has been postponed, it
was learned here last week.
The two women are Kathy
Zeni and Jo Ann McDaniel.
Miss Zenz is the niece of Mr.
and Mrs. Paul llelnrtchs of
Heppner, who have been in
contact with state and federal
officials in an effort to have
the girls released.
The two are part of the
"Antioch Seven" which re
ceived wide publicity in the
United Sales following their
arrest. The women have been
held In Jail for the past year
although four other women
involved have been released
and returned to the U.S. Only
one man, who admitted his
guilt and testified that he
induced the six women to
assist him in the smuggling
without their knowledge that
they were driving vehicles in
which narcotics were se
creted, has been sentenced.
The two have consistently
maintained their innocence. If
found guilty they face life
imprisonment in Turkey.
The Helnrichs received a
telegram last week advising
them of postponement of the
trial until Djc. 28.

Application (filed
for nuclear planf
Say Merry Christmas
with
Portland General Electric
Co. last week filed an applica
tion with the state for con
struction of a 1,250-megawatt
nuclear plant at Pebble
Springs, on land recently
purchased from Krebs Bros,
near Arlington.
The company has decided
not to build the nuclear plant
on the Carty site near Board
man because the Navy has not
been able to locate another
site for the bombing range
adjoining that site. PGE
prefers the Boardman site
because of the potential for
providing warm water irriga
tion to surrounding agricul
tural lands. There is little
possibility of providing such
irrigation at Pebble Springs.
Another factor in the com
pany's choice of the Carty site
is the fact that the preliminary
Firemen's Ball
at Boardman
set for Dec. 22
The first annual Firmen's
Ball of the Boardman Volun
teer Fire Department will be
held Saturday evening, Dec.
22, 8:30 p.m. to 2 a.m., at the
Boardman Grange Hall.
Included in the $2.50 per
person admission price is the
chance to dance to live music
and enjoy refreshments.
Proceeds from the affair
will be used to buy needed
firefighting equipment for the
30-man department headed by
Larry Phillips, fire chief.
engineering work there has
already been completed.
PGE plans to use the Carty
site for a conventional fossil
fueled power plant, however;
but may still go nuclear if the
Navy makes a definite com
mitment to abandon Board
man by 1980-provided that
decision is made by May 1.
The Pebble Springs plant,
similar to the one nearing
completion at Rainier, is
expected to cost $650 million,
and should be completed in
1981. It will use a 1900-acre
cooling reservoir with water
furnished from the John Day
Dam pool on the Columbia
River.

The Hoof and Horn Live
stock club met Dec. 12 with
President Rhonda Sargent

month was given to Canlins.
Cathy Palmer gave a dem
onstration on "preparing a
farrowing pen," and Jackie
Mollahan gave a demonstra
tion, "How to control a pig
with a cane." Dick gave
answers to crossword puzzle
on different livestock breeds.
