/ Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Byers, among
the oldest pioneers of thi scity, cele-
brated their golden wedding anniver-
sary yesterday. Mr.. Byers is IS,
while the woman who became his life
partner so years ago, is 70. Both are
hale and hearty. however, and neither
look to be that old.
you must have taken good care
of yourself to be so well preserved at
this age" said a reporter to the plo-
neer flour mill man this morning.
"Well, I have been in the milling
business for 60 years and have work.
ed hard all my life. For about 40
years of that time l worked IS hours
day." was the reply
II would therefore seem that when
Mr.. Byers finally does quit It will be
because he has worn out and not
rusted out.
Mr.. Byers first entered the flour
mill business so years ago in the
state of Pennsylvania. He later came
to Walla Walla where he established
mill and conducted 1t for six years
before coming to Pendleton, where
he has been for the past 33 years.
The first mill erected here had
capacity of so barrels per day. He
kept adding to this each year until
few years ago when the mills burned
down they had a capacity of 500 bar
500 barrels every "a hours The
brick mills are capable of turning out
500 barrAs every 2 -4hours. The
present mill is not the largest in the
state, but it is one of the finest built
and arranged and turns out about as
much flour as the larger mills in
Portland for the reason that the plant
is kept busy night and day the year
round.
When Byers completed the work of
erecting his first little mill in Pen
dleton he looked around and counted
just 80 buildings in the city. That
included dwelling houses. barns and
every other structure worthy the
name of building. 1t will thus be
seen that the lives of Mr.. and Mrs.
Byers have been closely associated
with the life and growth of the city
of Pendleton.
This pioneer couple only have two
children living. They are Mrs. Sophia
McComas and Gus Byers, both of this
city.
A pleasing feature of the Touring
mill business as conducted by Mr.. |
Byers is the fact that he has no COM
mission house to handle his flour,
employs no travelling salesmen and
yet has orders on hand in excess of |
the output of his mill at all times. A
large part of tn Byers flour is ship
ped to the orient, but owing to the
low stage of the river the mill cannot
be operated at full capacity now and |
the entire output of the plant is
needed to supply the local, Portland,
Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sc
attic markets.
