HAPPY CANYON" HAS
HISTORICAL ANCESTOR
IMITATION FRONTIER TOWN BE-
ING BUILT TAKES NAME
AFTER REAL PLACE.

Happy Canyon" is a name that
just now attaches itself to the imi-
tation western town being built in the
old fair pavilion by committee from
the Commercial association in order
to afford visitors to the Roundup a
glimpse of towns as they used to be
in this section in an early day. How
ever, this Happy Canyon" is not the
original Happy Canyon 1t has a
historical ancestor in this county
from which it derives its name.
The real Happy Canyon" is that
part of the Umatilla river lying be-
tween Barnhart and the old Jack
Morton place a mile below Nolin. For
a matter of A years 1t has borne that
name, which Is monument TO the
happy times which a settler of that
community had in the days when civ
ilisation was young here. A. w. Nye,
one of the Oldest pioneers of this city,
is one of the two or three living per-
sons who can tell the story of those
happy times and of the christening
of the community.
The name was attached to the val
ley in the winter of 1865. according
to his story. The settlers up and
down the river between the points be-
fore mentioned had IA dancing club
which met each week at one OF the
houses. One evening at the conclu-
sion OF a dance which had been par
ticularly ,enjoyed, Mr.. Nye's brother
in-law, Mr.. Angel, moved that the
valley be christened Happy Canyon
and the motion carried with whoop
Ever since then it has borne the
name
Mr.. Nye feels that the naming OF
the pseudo-frontier town after tha,
early-day settlement Is quite appro-
pirate but he is doubtful whether the
commercial association boys can pro-
duce as happy times. The latter,
however, have sack full OF ten buck
notes which they will wager on the
success of their undertaking.
