To the editor:
Well here I go agian, I'm an
old fuddy duddy and a crank
as everyone has heard me on
this subject before the
Willow Creek Watershed.
I've been accused of trying
to develop a private hunting
reserve. Well, I never hunt
there. Why hunt where you
can't see over 50 feet and it is
much easier up above the Coal
Mine?
That watershed is to be sold
next October. Three clear cuts
and Willow Creek, like the
three other creeks, will be dry
nine months of the year. There
is to be nine miles of highway
built in ther. The snow lays in
there up to July and the water
filters down and makes such
good water in our wells, soft
and pure. If this basin is
logged, the first thing will be
$20,000 for a well and water
system for the park. Then the
Heppner wells will be affec
ted, may have to be deepened
into lava rock, thus getting
sulfur water and thousands in

cost.
The timber in that basin is
almost all chip material and
will probably be bought by
Louisiana Pacific, as it is the
best cuts now adjoining this
area, namely, the best cut up
there, the Kelly cut, and the
Horse Heaven cuts, all to L.P.
Kinzua isn't getting these cuts
and says that they would do
nothing to harm the econ
omy of Heppner.
Other cities have gotten
control of their watersheds,
namely Walla Walla. Milton-.
Freewater. The Dalles. Hood
River and Portland. We could,
too. by going directly to our
congressmen, as they did.
The Dalies' watershed is
being select logged with
horses and they even put
diapers on those horses.
I think the County Court
could get an injunction and
stop this sale until something
can be done.

The overpass Is the result of
concern by the Port of Morrow
and the city of Boardman regard
ing the amount of truck traffic
through downtown Boardman, A
study done by the Port shows an
average of 6,000 vehicles travel
ing through Boardman on a daily
basis. By 1!W0 that figure would
increase to 10,150. With the addi
tion of the overpass it Is estima
ted that that figure would be
reduced to 6.650.
The overpass will also be a
definite benefit in selling com
panies on locating in the port or
industrial area, according to
Larry Dalrymple, Boardman
City Manager.
