-x WV-((s-i n t a- twr'f f'-'' Boardman council considers sub -division zone change Rezoning of a southeast portion of Boardman, a re quest for a subdivision and a date the newly completed water system's open house were considered by the Boardman City Council Tues day night. The land, southeast of the city, was zoned strictly for farm use. Owned by Columbia PacificFurhman and Cal Am developers, its zone was changed to commercial and general residential use. The George Hansen Devel opement, east of the city, requested the council approve its subdivision. The developer has nine conditions yet to be met in his agreement with the city, according to city admin istrator Jim Thompson. One of those conditions involves the removal of a considerable amount of sand that has blown from the site onto the adjacent cemetery property. Providing those conditions are met, the council agreed to accept the subdivi sion. Open house for the city's new water system was set for Aug. 1. The system is project ed for a partial start up on Museum to host craft demonstration In response to a request from girls at the Tupper Youth Conservation Corp Camp there will be a "public invited" evening of pioneer home craft demonstration at the Morrow County Museum on Thursday, July 28, begin ning at 7:30 p.m. The principal demonstra tions will be given by Linda Gifford who will explain working with wool. Mrs. Gifford cards, spins and weaves wool which she uses to create articles for her home. She will tell of the various steps involved and will dem onstrate spinning, however, she will not be bringing her floor loom to the Museum. Linda Gifford began work ing with wool in class at Walla Walla College and then took more class work when the Giffords were living in Mich igan. Ione-Heppner homemaker Col. John completes Col.

The system includes a pipe into the Port of Morrow industrial park and another into the city of Boardman. Further installation will run a pipe into the Boardman South development. "We hope to be servicing Boardman South with this system by Jan. 1," stated city engineer Steve Anderson. Currently those residents are getting their water from an existing well and the Desert Springs Estates mobile park water line. In other action the board: Requested that Thomp son ask Pioneer Memorial Hospital, Heppner, to submit additional information before the city commits itself to the hospital's health district. "Be longing to the district would probably mean a broader tax base," noted Thompson. "This is just emphasizing what we asked before. It is high time we got some benefit of the money being paid toward that hospital," stated councilman Gene Trumbull. Irene Swanson, who has a quilting frame and Sunbonnet Girl quilt already set up in the museum's large room where the wool demonstration is being held, will be there to show anyone interested in quilting how that, again pop ular, craft is carried on. In the room where these demonstrations will take place there is a very fine display of pioneer, homemade wool coverlets and five un usual quilts. Three of the old historic quilts are covered, with names of country folk. The oldest of these is a red-and-white quilt made by Methodist ladies in Heppner before the great 1903 flood. A lavender and white quilt contains many names of Lexington residents of years past, and the third, a blue and white flower-garden quilt covered with names of lone people, was a spring 1977 gift from Helen Martin, lone.'

"Oregon's fair share of the , Columbia should be 400,000 acres of irrigation," Kennedy said. "And 200,000 should be in Morrow County. The problem is they don't care too much in Salem what happens over here." Although some people here are ready to start laying the The community is invited to the craft demonstration to meet Mrs. Gifford and Mrs. Swanson and to learn about pioneer skills.

If the move is made, red tape could hold up the actual dispersal for as long as three years. Recently passed fed eral legislation stipulates that provided the land is put on surplus by BLM, the Sec. of Interior can establish what an economic unit will consist of and whether the land will be dispersed by auction. "If it comes to an auction, we're in trouble," Turner said. "That's why we need to get started now." In addition to the 40,000 BLM acres, another 10,000 presently non-contiguous acres could be blocked togeth er with placement left to the descression of the General Services Administration. Kennedy said he thought the block would be placed near the Carty generating plant to keep the area out of the public domain.

Bryant, Notary Public My commission expires, 10-21-1980 lone trench yields Two lone men came across an unexpected find last week while digging trenchline for the new city well. Eldon Tucker and Wayne Gray were operating a back hoe near the railroad tracks at B Street when Tucker said he pulled up a shovelful of dirt with "some wood fragments and other shiny looking stuff". "I didn't really think any thing of it and since it was about noon, we decided to break for lunch," Tucker said. On their return, Gray got down in the trench for a closer look and after scraping away some dirt, he uncovered five wooden cases of dynamite. The cases were clearly mark ed "Dec. 1916" and seemed to be in good condition. "The cases looked to be in good shape and we thought about salvaging them but some of the sticks inside were still real shiny," Tucker said. After stacking the cases in the trench, the next step was to call the State Police. An officer arrived and decided the best thing would be to douse the cases in diesel fuel and burn them. Gray test burned a small fragment of one of the sticks before lighting the entire stack. With the lone fire truck on the scene and about 15 people feeling a bit squeamish about watching five cases of dyna mite burning in fron of them, found guilty of DUII and fined $305.
