TWELVE The Ileppner Gazette-Times, lleppner. Oregon. Thursday. February 14. l'lHD Dog shot by neighbor Thelma E. Ware, Rt. 2 Hwy. 730 in Irrigon, reported that her neighbor shot three times and killed her nine-month-old dog with a pellet gun, Sheriff reports say. The suspect said he warned her to keep her dog from chasing his horses and geese in a nearby field. The suspect will be cited for cruelty to animals as soon as Thelma Ware signs a complaint, sheriff reports state. In other sheriff's news, Marion Miller Beck, Columbia , Ave. P.O. Box 2456 in Board man, reported a variety of tools stolen from his unlocked vehicle at the Ready Mix Sand and Gravel lot. The tools included drive sockets, ratch ets, wrenches, pliers, and a cooler. Lawrence Norman Sullivan, Rt. 3 Box 4235 in Hermiston, was arrested for careless driving and lodged at the Hermiston Safety Center. Clay Papineau and Tim Jones were cited for speed racing. In a follow-up to a case reported last week, Mary Erin Wilson was arrested in Mfd ford for taking 90 $2 bills from Anne A. Wilson. P.O. Box 301 in Boardman. The theft took place two weeks ago as the money was taken out of a ceramic box in Anne Wilson's bedroom. County labor force 6,300 Morrow County's total labor force is 6.300 persons. The county's population is 7,400. The "labor force" includes many workers who are em ployed within the county but reside elsewhere. This was reported last week by Roland Stewart, labor economist in Pendleton for the Oregon State Employment Service. He said much of the non-resident work force is employed in the construction of the Portland General Elec tee's coal-fired generating plant at Carty. "For our statistics," he said, "they are 'residents' of Morrow County. They are single-person families, who work five days a week at Boardman and on weekends go into Portland. When the census is taken (in Board man) they won't be there." Stewart said the unemploy ment rate for the county for December was 5.4 percent and for November, 6.8 percent. He said the closure of Kinzua Corporation's plywood mill would not be reflected in the statistics until January. The mill closure put about 150 persons out of work. The total numer of unem ployed persons listed by the Employment Service was 340 during December. Gene Murty. Department of Motor Vehicles officer in Heppner. is in Salem this week attending training sessions at a DMV conference.

McElligott said the weight limit will be in effect on all paved roads until the roadbed has dried and the roads stabilize. A similar- restriction has been made in Umatilla County except the weight limit is 10 tons. In other county court ac tivity last week, Debra Palmer was sworn in as the new deputy clerk replacing Barbara Bloodsworth who was promoted to county clerk after Sadie Parrish resigned. Sheriff Larry Fetsch pre sented the budget request for the emergency 911 program and Dr. Terrell Templeton presented the mental health budget requirements.

Steve Eldridge of the Uma tilla Electric Co. met with the county court to discuss the removal of some power poles on Wilson Road near Board man. An agreement was reached that the company will remove the poles at no cost to the county by Feb. 25 so county road construction and paving can begin at that time. The county court gave more than 50 refunds last week to trailer house owners in the county. An estimated tax is charged on trailer houses that come into the county and if they were over assessed, the owners could receive a refund. ; VALENTINES ; DAY "DM j We have gift j items from $3.00 up. : use The court adopted a resolu tion favoring multiple use of the Umatilla jail.

Castle is the station name for a new coal-fired generating plant being built in a remote area south of Boardman. Oregon. These 100-car trains, each carrying 10,000 tons of coal, come from the Aniax Eagle Butte Mine near Gillette, Wyoming. By the time the power plant begins operation in September, a stockpile of more than half a million tons of coal will be delivered. FOR A BETTER TOMORROW In 1979, the Burlington Northern Foundation made gi ants totalling an all-time high of $1,547,725. Recipients included colleges and universities, cultural programs, youth, health and UnitediVay organizations throughout the territory served by Buiiinglon Northern. HOW TO SAVE TIME IN CHICAGO Burlington Northern and Com ail are now operating a new Chicago area direct interchange M'i'vice which reduces transit time 24 hours from previous eaNlbound freight delivery limes. Under the new an.iiigemenl Iral'lic horn such 1'ieighl gathering points as Seattle and Portland moves lo a BN classification yard in Minneapolis and tratfic from Denver and Kans City moves to a classification yard at Galesburg. III. There, the cars are sorted into blocks, according to destination and'routed directly through BN's Cicero Yard near Chicago to Conrail bound for eastern destinations. Based on the initial success of the plan, talks are under way to expedite westbound movements as well. BNAFI CHEATS DEATH BY AIR Under special arrangement with Abbott Laboratories, Burlington Northern Air Freight, the air freight subsidiary of BN, keeps refrigerated vials of a special medicine in their (iicago terminal ready for immediate shipment to, regional hospitals or a specific location. The medicine dissolves blood clots in the lung which frequently are fatal if not treated within hours. 1 The air freight delivery system sounds simple, but BNAFI personnel have had to come through under trying circumstances. Case in point: When snow buried Buffalo, N.Y.. two winters ago, BNAFI delivered the medicine from the airport by snowmobile. CAPITAL SPENDING PLAN 15 HIGHER In answer to the demand for transportation of grain, food products, lumber, coal and other commodities, directors of Burlington Northern and its subsidiary companies have approved a 1980 capital spending plan of $619.6 million. That's a 15 increase over the $540 million spent in 1979. On order for delivery this year are 280 new diesel locomotives, 2,461 freight cars, 150 motor vehicle rail rack cars and 500 highway trailers for piggyback service. BN forest products and energy-related activities expenditures in 1980 will be increased 42" over last year. Burlington Northern's roadway improvement program for 1980 includes 537 miles of new rail to be installed in new or existing track, primarily in the Chicago and Denver regions.
