No deep wells, State Water
Resources Department rules
The State Water Resources
Department has ruled that no
new deep irrigation wells will
be allowed in the Butter Creek
area of western Umatilla and
northern Morrow counties
until a three year groundwa
ter study is completed.
James Sexson, director of
the Department told farmers
Thursday night in a Hermis
ton meeting that the study
area is bounded by Willow
Creek on the south and the
west, the Columbia River on
the north and the foothills of
the Blue Mountains on the
east. Its goal is to determine if
groundwater is being used
faster than it is being re
placed. Sexson said he will be
reopening a hearing on
groundwater that earlier re
sulted in a declaration of a
critical groundwater area.
The State Court of Appeals
threw out the conclusion on
the basis of a procedural fault.
Farmers in the area have
charged that the data ga
thered in previous studies was
not accurate.
The new study is expected to
run from now until December
1982. Department geologists
will look at all geologic flow
structures, all springs, all
wells.
Data will inclue as much
history as possible on every
well and spring, Sexson said.
"We can't do this without
the cooperation of water
users," Sexon said.
The study will attempt to
answer the question, "Do

Family Horse Parade
Family entries were typical of Saturday's Rodeo Show Parade in Heppner and many of
the riders carried youngsters in their laps down Main Street. The youngest cowboy was 7
months old.
Goose season ends December 23 in Baker
and Malheur counties with bag limit of two
The goose season ends on
December 23 in Baker and
Malheur counties where a
reduced bag limit of 2 per day,
2 in possession is also in effect.
In Lake and Klamath coun
ties, the first two weeks,
Ocotber 13 through October 26
will see a daily limit of one
white and one dark goose.
Beginning on October 27 in
those two counties the limit
goes back to three white geese
and three dark geese per day.
The reduced bag limit
during the initial two weeks
was the only option available
under the federal framework,
within which states must set
their waterfowl hunting sea
sons, which permitted a full 93
days of goose hunting in Lake
and Klamath counties. Its aim
is to provide additional protec
tion for whitefront, cackler
and snow geese.
Dates for coot, merganser
and snipe coincide with the
general dates for duck hunting
and bag limits are identical to
last year. A black brant
season was set to run Novem
ber 17 through February 17
with a bag limit of 4 and 8 in
possession.
On Sauvie Island Wildlife
Area the daily shootine fpf
will go from $3 to $5, and
ammunition loaded with steel
shot will be required in the
same areas where it was
mandated last year. The
Commission declined to adopt
the steel shot zone proposed by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service for the lower Colum
bia River from Longview
Bridge to Bonneville Dam.
A gamebird season was set
for the first time for falconers
this year. The season for
upland birds will run Septem
ber 1 through January 20 with
a daily bag limit of 1 pheasant
(either sex), 2 valley quail, 2
Hungarian partridge, and 2
chukar partridge. A waterfowl
season for falconers will run
October 6 through January 20
with a daily bag limit of 3
ducks, coots or snipe and
possession limit of 6, singly or
in the aggregate.
Printed bird hunting regula
tions should be available from
license agents throughout the
state shortly before the ear
liest seasons begin on Septem
ber 1.

Creation &
Lutherans
"... In God,
The Almighty Father,
Creator . . ."
The Christian confession
of Cod as creator
says two things:
1) We and our world
exist at the moment
you read this
because and only
because Cod created
and sustains us.
2) God chooses us
as beneficiaries of
his love and grace,
portrayed in Jesus'
life, death and
resurrection.
These are daring assertions.
But surely the mystery
of our life is so greaf,
that no claims less daring
can be appropriate.
