Survivor" and some people have collected the ash parti cles and are selling them. In Heppner, Dale Holland is Helling ash for $1 for a small bag and Central Market is also selling Holland's ash for the same price. But there Is a more serious side to the ash problem. An Oregon Wheal league spokesman, Ivan Pack wood, said the closure of the Columbia River could bring alioiil problems for all of Kaslern Oregon. "We have a lender wheal issue," he said. "Some countries that are our custom ers for wheal cannot wail and may have to start buyirifi from other countries.'.' The U.K. Army Corps of Engineers has begun a dredg ing program to clear areas of the Columbia River. When the Tootle and Cowlitz Rivers flooded May la. birco (iiiinti- lies of ash and wood debris were washed into the Colum bia. The river is usually fiofl foot wide and 40 feet deep but in some areas, the, debris mass made Ihe river only 14 feet deep The Corps dredging ha cleared Ihe channel to 200 feet wide and 25 feet deep By June :i0. Ihe Corps hopes to have il r(KI feet wide and 3:" foot deep and il hopes to have it to its original specifications by Si -pi :;u. Another phase of the dredg ing is to clear out five miles up stream of the Cowlitz River to decrease chances of flooding in fliai area An Army Corps news relea se stales thai costs for the clearing of the Columbia and other flood control measures could cost as much as $219 million. Packwood said the dredging of the Columbia should relieve some of the pressure on Eastern Oregon farmers. He said when the new crop 13 harvested, the old crop should be disposed of. If it cannot be sold because the river is closed, some of the now crop will have to be dumped on the ground. Packwood said there has not been a problem in Fstern Oregon with the weight of the ash smashing crops. Packwood said he does not know how much wheat is in storage but if it is above , normal "We could have a serious problem." An Oregon Wheat League release says the damage done to agricultural production is "enormous." It slates that the first priority should be to open up the Columbia River to shipping because the river closure could be "disasterous to all segments of our econ omy. " Packwood said Eastern Oregon may have a problem during harvest season even if just small particles of ash are still on the wheat. He said farmers will probably experi ence problems with their harvesting equipment with oil fillers and bearings because the ash dust is abrasive. ' "We are fortunate in East- t ern Oregon at the present because we don't have too much ash." Packwood said. Prices Effective June 5-6-7 USDA Choice Y Boneless Rib Steak C 2 lb.
