descent. At an early age he left h
native land and came to New York City
where he resided for some time.
Getting tired of city life he became i'm
bued with the western fever and started
west in the early COS. His first place
to stop for any length of time was at
The Da les. This was during the big
mining excitement in Eastern Oregon
when the miners were taking out the
nuggets from the rich placers. In
those early days the only method of
transporting supplies to the mines was
by pack trains, and while there was
good money to be made at mining there
was a,so good money to be made in
packing. Mr.. Heppner who was not
afraid of hard work and the dangers
associated with transporting supplies
chose the latter occupation and ran a
pack train out of Umati,la Landing to
Canyon City. This is where the founda-
ton Of his fortune was started.

knew the inward struggle day by day Of
tbs resolute and determined man in
battling against the inroads of disease.

at the Palace hotel be suffered severe
stroke of he ,rt failure and his life was
in the balance for some time. A phys-
clan was sum T. noned and with the aid of
powerful stimulants Mr.. Heppner
partially recovered. This left him in a
weakened condition. Even then it was
hard work to persuade him to 90 to the
Heppner Sanitarium where he could be
better cared for. Thursday evening at
a little before nine O'Clock he was again
stricken and passed away.
The remains were embalmed end
sent to Portland Saturday where the
funeral was conducted on Sunday. A
large number of Heppner people went
to the train SATURDAY. morning for the
last adieu to the founder of Heppner
In the passing of Henry Heppner
there goes with him a prominent ard
familiar land mark in the history of the
city and county. He was a familiar
figure on the streets and was one of the
best known men in the county. In
public affairs of both city and county
for more than a quarter of century he
has affiliated and has been closely ldenti-
fed with ost of the questions that have
gone into history, especially in affairs
of the town that bears his name.
Heury Heppner's life has been long
and useful one. A hard and tireless
worker which has been crowned with
success and thrift. He was a man of
keen business judgment aud has left
large fortune. Like the other Oregon
pioneers in helping to build the solid
foundation of this country he has ex-
perienced many hardships and trials in
shouldering the many burdens that fell
upon the sturdy old pioneers. While
little eccentric in his ways his heart
was always in the right place and his
hand was ready to GO out to the needy.

1u the year 1872, Mr.. Heppner cam.
up the Willow creek and on July o
that year csmped on the present site O
Heppner. The whole country was ther
a wilderness and there were only 9
handful of settlers in the territory
which now comprises the territory ol
Morrow county. With the beautiful
valley and the confluence Of three
streams, Mr.. Heppner was impressed
and the thought of a townsite occurred
to him. Soon efter he went to La
Grande and laying the matter before J
l.. Morrow, who was in the mercantile
business at that place. they decided to
put in a stock OF goods here which was

When viewed from the standpoint of
the sheepgrower, coyotes are increasing
at an alarming rate since the repeal of
the scalp bounty law. They are ap-
pearing all over Morrow county in great
numbers and are a constant menace and
worry to the sheepmen. Herders must
constantly be on the alert to save the
sheep from the rayages of the pests.
The sly and cunning animals will watch

WILLOW CREEK
COAL MINES
RAILROAD TO he BUILT THIS
SUMMER.
Company will Build From
PendletOM to Heppner.

A move is now on on foot to build a
railroad to the Willow Creek coal
mines. From the best information OBJ
tainabe work will be commenced on
the road some time during the coming
summer or spring. The following from
Saturdays East Oregonian will be Of
interest to Morrow county people:
ITO tap the coal fields southeast OF
Heppner and to otherwise open up the
country along the line, is the prof4ssed
object of the Pendleton Railway & Coal
company, for which articles of incor-
poration were sent to the secretary Of
state last Thursday. A certificate OF in
corporation is expected from that Off
cial within a day or two, and when it
arrives it will be recorded in the office
of the county clerk and the formation
of the company will be complete.

pany is incorporated for $1,000, 900, and
the stock is divided into shares of 81
each. The incorporators are g. A.
Rhea. G. f. Red6eld, G. H. Carter and |

in the enterprise are j. H. Raley, |
George Conser, J. w. Morrow, tax and |
land agent for the o. Il. & n, T. G.
Taylor. D. A. Herren and Roy Raley.
According to G. E. Red6eld, the
people interested in the. construction of
of the road are the same who control
the Heppner coal fields, and the phi
mary object is to make possible the de-
velopment of their mine by building
railroad to it.
According to the incorporators it is
their intention to commence operations
as soon as the weather will permit in
the spring. Thus far no surveys have
been made, nor has anything been done
toward the securing OF right of way
The road is to run from here to Pilot
Rock, and from there south through
Camas Prairie to Ukiah. A branch will
run from some point along the line to
Heppner, and out 10 the coal fields
southeast of that place. 1t is expected
that approximately 100 miles OF road
will be required to connect ali of tLese
points,"

Views Of the Advocates OF More Ma.

1t is our belief, says Field &

many cities which are too large and
a country which is too meagerly pop.
ulated. We prophesy a coming disin.
tegration Of massed populations, and
their distribution in a more sane and
industrially more desirable fashion.
The small town is next to the coun.
try. 1t is better environment for
the young man than is the great
metropolis toward which SO many
turn their eyes. Trolley cars, rural
deliveries, trade catalogues and mail.
order periodicals have done very
much to change the isolation which
formerly went with life in the coun-
try. II is improving, and with 1t M
proves the condition Of life In the
small town.
Heretofore our young men have
left the country for the city. Some
Of them were obliged to get there to
succeed In their chosen line OF work.
For the young man who has a busi-
ness career In view there is possible
as good a success In a small city as
he may hope for In a great one. II
he has not much money capital, his
personality, his character will more
readily atone for that in a small
town. This is especially true Of the
professional man. Indeed, any man
of intelligence may hope for greater
prefermept in the small centers of
population than in the large.
