Heppner gazette. [volume] (Heppner, Morrow County, Or.) 1892-1912, 1903-01-01
METROPOLIS OF MORROW COUNTY
One Of the Solid Towns of Eastern Oregon
With Natural Advantages to Make
Residence Desirable

Heppner is the terminal Of the Hepp-
ner branch of the O. r. & N. railroad
1877 miles east OF Portland, and 45 miles
from the Columbia river. and is the lar
gest and best town between The Dalles
and Pendleton, distance OF about $50
miles and covering three big counties of
the State Of Oregon.
Away back in the COS lonely settler
by the name OF Estes, took up the town
site OF Heppner, which was then a big
fat cavered with tall rye grass, at the
confluence OF Willow and Hinton creeks.
In those days the country was inhsb-
tied with rowing bands Of Indians, who
used the Grade OF Willow creek as q
highway on their trips to the Blue
Mountains in quest of game, to and from
the Columbia river.
In 1869 George Stansbury purchased
from Mr.. Estes bis right to the fine
ranch, and the townsite of Heppner be
came known to the few settlers as
Stansbury's fiat. A Few years later,
among the settlers were the late j. l..
Morrow, Henry Heppner, Thos. Quad,
Wm. and Thos. Ayers. Previous to NOV
ing to this country, Mr.. Morrow was in
the mercantile business at La Grsnde.
Henry Heppner who w8s pioneer pack
er in travelling over the country, had
noticed the natural advantages of Stsns-
bury's fiat for townsite and as a future
trade centre.
A partnership was formed between
Henry Heppner and j. l.. Morrow. In
the fall Of ~ Heppner & Morrow start
ed a store with small stock. This was
the nucleus of the present town of Hepp'
ner. For Mr.. Heppner's enterprise in
helping to start the town the place was
named for him.
TO the efforts of Henry Heppner. the
town is indebted for it's frst public
school. He donated bell and solicited
Heppner gazette. [volume] (Heppner, Morrow County, Or.) 1892-1912, 1903-01-01

the subscription necessary for building.
To this day. Mr.. Heppner who is one
of the largest taxpayers in the county.
has always shown public spirit in up
building the town, and some of the finest
business blocks in the city. are monu-
ments TO his enterprise.
With the settlement and development
of the country. Heppner has grown, and
is the leading town in the county.
The advent of the railroad in 1888,
was factor that had much 60 do in up
building the town.
Heppner is snugly nestled in valley
of Willow creek, between high and rug
ged hills, at sn altitude of 20O0 feet above
sea level. 1t is city of beautiful homes,
and probably has as many advantages
Heppner gazette. [volume] (Heppner, Morrow County, Or.) 1892-1912, 1903-01-01

Being the terminal OF the Heppner
branch of the o. R. & n, it is freight
distributing point for great interior
country, covering good portions OF Grant
and Wheeler counties on the south and
southwest. Goods are shipped here for
interior merchants, where freighters
come with wagons and teams, to haul as
far as John Day and Canyon City, q dis-
tonce of over 100 miles.
Being a freight distributing point, it
is also. central shipping point, where
stoc kmen come to ship stock and wool,
and coupled with the fact that it is the
seat of county government, brings many
people here. Being located near &
foothills of the Blue Mountains, the
town is general headquarters for stock
men who come there TO get supplies
needed in conducting the great stock
industry.
Heppner is sometimes called the
"Wool Town. on account OF the immense
amount of this staple handled there
$3.50, 900 pounds of wool each year, and
as high as 5,000 900 pounds have been
shipped from here 10 single season.
The clip of Morrow county, alone, is
about 3,250,000 pounds, with 1,25O,OOO
pounds coming in from Grant, Gillian,
and Umstills counties.
The wool clip for the past year sold
for about II cents per pound, on an av-
erage.
During what is termed the wool seq
son, from about the first of May until
the first OF August, an impetus is given
to business. caused from the wool move
ments. The men employed in shearipg
sheep and handling the wool make their
headquarters in HeppnerI
Heppner is one of the best wool mar
kets In Eastern Oregon. Representa-
tives from Eastern factories and wool
dealers come here and stay during the
wool season. to buy wool.
Morrow county wool ts a desirable
article in the markets. The sheepmen
have made study of the industry, and
the nearer the business is run on correct
principles, the bigger the return OF prof
it. The sheep have been bred for wool,
until nearly ell herds are graded and
well bred Merinos.
The sealed bid method of buying wool
was insugerated during the past season.
The plan is to set day fer sales which
is announced beforehand. The growers
and the buyers meet at place designa-
ted and sealed bids are presented by the
buyers, the highest bidder taking the
wool. This methed has been very salts.
factory, and the result has been that the
very top prices have been paid in Hepp-
ner for wool. This will have tendency
to bring more wool here than ever before,
which is expected this year, especially
from Wheeler county.
During the past year Heppner has
made many solid and substantial i'm
provments. Several big stone buildings
have been erectsd, including "a court
house which will cost about $40 900.
The city has fine water system, both
for fire protection and domestic use.
The water is pumped from well 700
feet in depth. For fire protection, the
W wster is pumped into reservoirs on hill
which always insures good pressure,
enough to throw two streams OF water in
case Of fire.

Being at an altitude above any mals-
ria district this disease is absolutely un-
known, and the general health of the
community is above the average.
On account Of location, Heppner is q
great business centre, drawing from an
immense territory, and has justly earn
ed the reputation of being one OF the
solid towns OF Eastern Oregon.
