To the editor:
Well almost everyone is
geared to wood burning
stoves. There are five com
mercial dead pine cutting out
fits up in our mountains and I
don't think there will be a dead
tree left in a year. Which
means that these wood burn
ers will have no fuel, especial
ly with the new power plant
going in at Kinzua burning 480
Gov. Atiyeh says 4 thank you'
To the editor:
I want to extend a personal
"thank you" to all Oregonians
who have given their time,
money and supplies to the
deer and elk feeding effort in
eastern Oregon.
The response to the call for
help during the harsh winter
weather of December and
January has been very grati
fying. Organizations, busines
ses and individuals throughout
the state have reacted with
enthusiasm and a generous
spirit to the plight of these
animals.
I particularly commend
the actions of landowners in
the affected areas. In many
cases it is their ranches and
farms that have served as
havens for the animals forced

With the most of the present
cutting going to Japan, is it
wise or necessary? How about
the $500 investment in the
wood burning outfits? Will not
the cost of wood be so high that
they will be no longer econom

Heppner
from the frozen winter ranges.
Instead of complaining about
potential damage to crops and
haystacks, these people
became a vital link in helping
to reduce the problem.
This alliance of concerned
citizens in a time of need is yet
another instance that illus
trates the deep affection Ore
gonians have for the wildlife of
this state.
We who live in Oregon have
always considered it a special
place. The rousing of com
munity spirit over the past
several weeks is a shining
example of why this pride is
justified.
Sincerely,
