Compromise or
To the Editor:
As an individual who has
attended numerous meetings
on establishing electrical
rates at Columbia Basin
Electric Co-op, I was dumb
founded at the action of the
board of directors at a special
meeting Friday, July 31.
In the last two years
Columbia Basin Electric has
payed for three rate studies;
and all have pointed to about
the same conclusion as to
revenue required to operate
the Co-op, who should pick up
the tab, and in what propor
tions. But for the last two
years the board of directors,
after adopting these studies
and rate schedules, have
rescinded these adoptions and
moved in favor of a group of
individuals calling themselves
"large irrigators." Now, this
group of people would lead us ,
to believe that in the past they
have been paying the bills and
they're tired of it; and from
now on the rest of us will pay
our way. Last year they
picked on the small irrigators,
50HP and under. This year
they're picking on all other
classes of customers. When
each individual receives their
July bill, I'm sure it will be
Mourn passing
To the Editor:
The enclosed news clipping
from the East Bay Today of
Oakland, Calif, dated July 28
should be of special interest to
the Heppner sports commun
ity. Especially, the nostal
gia buffs.
John Beckett would have
graduated from Heppner High
School about 1910 or 1911.
I am wondering if he has
any classmates still living in
the Heppner area who recall
his gridiron exploits at the
University of Oregon. Also,
the earlier school years in
Heppner.
It is rather sad that John
Beckett is the third state of
Oregon athlete who passed
away recently.
We mourn the passing of
Buck Grayson, brother of
Bobby Grayson, All American
football player at Stanford in
the mid-thirties.
Buck was on the Oregon
State basketball varsity from
1929 through 1931.
Also, Bobby Anet from
"Honest John" Warren's As
toria High School team who
went on to honors at the
University of Oregon as a
member of the "Tall Fir
Boys" who won the NCAA
basketball title over Ohio
State at Treasure Island in
1939.

County result in a severe fire

fires have occurred.
sell - out?
plain as to what I'm talking
about.
Recently the large irrigat
ors have presented themsel
ves before the board of
directors with an attorney, a
rate analyst, and a threat to
sue on the grounds of
discrimination if these rates
weren't adjusted more to their
liking. It seems to me that this
phrase "discrimination" has
been overworked and it's time
to consider the majority, not a
special interest group that's in
it solely for their own gains.
The only reason that was
given for the board's compro
mise was the board though the
consumers would rather pay a
larger rate increase than pay
court costs.
So when I say "compromise
or sell-out?" I mean - did the
board compromise or did they
sell out the other classes of
customers to a special interest
group?
Once again it's time for all
members to become concern
ed, stay concerned, organize,
and let their feeling be known
to Columbia Basin Electric
and its board of directors.

EX-OREGON STAR DIES
SAN DIEGO - Retired
Marine Brig. Gen. John W.
Beckett, who was captain of
different teams in successive
Rose Bowl victories, died
Sunday in a hospital. He was
88.
Beckett, a native of Hep

A year later, when the Rose
Bowl game was not limited to
college teams, he captained
the unbeaten Mare Island
Marines to a 19-7 victory over
the Army.
caution in fighting wheat
Heppner physician. Dr. Joe
Gifford, provides this advice
on smoke inhalation while
fighting wheat fires. "Smoke
inhalation can be a very
hazardous threat to one's life,
and varies a great deal with
the type of fire, the amount of
heat, and the prior health of
the person involved. Farm
fires during harvest are usual

caution to not inhale hot

remove yourself from the
smoke after very short inter

your present physical status
rather than spending several
minutes at any given task in

continued coughing, or more
severe signs develop after
being exposed, it would be
wise to see a physician
immediately."
