rmers ask c
ecision
changes
Farmers in the Sand Hollow and Buttercreek area are
asking the Oregon Court of Appeals to set aside an order that
will invariably slow and even halt the use of wells in the area.
An order came from the Oregon State Water Resources
director on April 2, following a public meeting in February,
ruling a critical ground water area of the Buttercreek and
Sand Hollow areas. .
T This order encompassed over 234 square miles. Within this
area, the order imposed certain restrictions on certain wells
and terminated others, according to the farmers' attorney,
Mike Sweeney, Heppner.
The farmers involved are Campbell Ranches, Inc. ; Stanley
Tucker; Lindsay Farms; Porter-Peringer, Inc. ; Larry
Hanson; and Taylor Brothers Farms.
lone news
After November 1, 1977, Sweeney said, the state is to
reconsider a proposal to limit withdrawals from wells in the
two areas to 27,000 acre feet per year.
This restriction would limit the amount of water to be used
for irrigation purposes. The restriction would protect prior
holders on a 'first in time, first in right priority philosophy.
When the 27,000 is used up, Sweeney said, the others might
not have enough water for irrigation purposes.
The farmers contend that the director erred in failing to
give both legal and adequate notice. They argue that no
substantial evidence to support the director's findings
concerning boundaries.
The director said that farmers are overdrawing the water
in the two areas. The farmers say that the water is in a closed
system, trapped underground and that there Is no annual
recharge. The farmers contend that the water is mining of
ground water, like mining gold or silver.
They ask that the director should determine not only the
boundaries, but the amount of water ir .reservoir that he
should consider the economics involved before handing down
such a decision.

he wrote to a friend requesting
him to find him a wife who was
"poor, but learned" to help
him dig for the lost city of
Troy. After getting a permit
from Turkey, he and his young
wife made many digs at the
sight of Troy. In his en
thusiasm, he passed the third
level, which is now considered
the old city. They also made
digs in the Mycene area and
unearthed a circle of graves of
royalty, which contained
bodies completely covered
with gold leaf and faces with
solid gold masks. They kept
daily diaries and manuals,
which he later published in
book form and dedicated to his
wife. Schliemann was a dedi
cated archeologist who died at
the age of seventy in Italy, far
from his family and friends,
arranging for another dig.
