Of the 12 bids submitted 5 were below the engineer's estimate of $143.9,'t4, with the apparent low bid by Sharpe It Prouder Construction Co. of Kennewick of $117,000. The high bid was by Vancouver Excavation of $1R9,4H3. The contract Is to be awarded within the next few weeks, after the bids have been analyzed and a recom mendation made by Engineer Val Toronto, according to Mayor Chester Wilson, Alternate bids were called for concrete and steel reser voirs of 100,000 and 200.000 gallon capacity and an initial evaluation indicates the possi bility of the cost of the largur. size tank to be within the funds available. Other improvements cover ed are distribution lines, pumps and pumphouses, with the work to begin soon after awarding of the contract. Improvements to the water system are needed for several reasons, the major one being that capacity of the present txK)sicr pumps has been reached and storage for emergency purposes is not available. The larger storage reservoir will give some assurance for continual ser vice in case of temporary well-pump failure. Additional wells are not permitted In the area for municipal purposes because of a declining water table. Present Improvements will also allow for looping of the pipe line grid in which initial construction left many dead end lines. The improvement system although not being extended into much new territory will allow for residential building to be added to the area. Personnel from the Oregon Department of Revenue will be available in Heppner "on March I!) in the County Clerk's Offii'i".

Cutsforlh and was given to his son and daughter-in-law. Pat and Karen Cutsforlh. They had it in their home for several years before they determined to share it with the rest of the county. II now hangs in the northeastern corner of the new addition. Cutsforlh got the idea to carve il from one he saw that belonged to a Canadian sheep herder, Then when he found lime and the right piece of pine for the project, he began, although he didn't know whether or not he could succeed. He achieved the 50-link endless circle by carving up one side and down the other side with a cross link at each end. It is possible to spot the two cross links by their cross grain. The project look a long time and "lots of patience." Orville said. i only carved about two links a day and then quit because I was afraid that if I gul nervous or tired I would break the chain." He used some good whittling knives and said he "fudged a little by using a brace and bit to drill a start in the center of each link."
