SILAS WRIGHT WAS
AN EARLY PIONEER

Silas A. Wright answered death S
call at his home in this city at about
s o'clock p. m., Wednesday, Febru-
ary Is, 1922, after an illness Of ten
days with pneumonia.
For many years Mr.. Wright has
been sufferer from bronchitis and
asthma, and several times he had
been called upon to pass through a
siege of pneumonia when the winter
months came on, but having a reas-
onably strong constitution he was
able to overcome the disease. How
ever, the constant suffering with the
chronic ailment finally broke down
his physical resistance, and he was
not able this time to rally from the
acute attack of bronchial trouble
and passed away early last evening
in the presence of his family and a
number of friends.
Silas A. Wright was one of the ear
liest settlers in this section of Ore
gon, and has been a resident OF
Heppner for many years, retiring
from active farm duties because Of
his physical ailment. He was the
owner of one of the largest ranches
in this section and for long years
was successfully engaged in sheer
raising and the stock industry gen.
orally, out of which he gathered a
very substantial competence.
He was born on May Is, 1853, ir
Nebraska, his parents being Albert
and Julia A. Wright, who were also
highly respected and honoable pion.
eers of Morrow county, while his par
ents were en- route across the plains
to Oregon, an emigrant wagon being
his birth chamber. He came from g
stirling pioneer stock, his parents be-
ing natives of New York state. They
settled in Clackamas county, near Or.
egon City, where they resided fol-
IS years, and where Mr.. Wright re.
ceived his educational training. With
his family he came to Morrow coun-
ty in 1872, and since then his home
has been here ard in Gillian county
following the sheep business, largely
for a number OF years in connection
with his brother, George E. Wright
and in 1888 returning to Morrow
county he purchased the extensive
land holdings on Rhea creek anc
established one of the best ranches
in the county, ten and a half miles
south of Heppner.
He was married February 27, 1884
in this county to Martha Cantwell
and to them eight children were born
two of whom died in infancy. The
mother and the following children
survive: Alonzo, of Nampa, Idaho
Pearl M, Moses A, Della, Delbert
and Drain, all of Heppner.
Mr., Wright was a highly respected
citizen of this community alway;
manifeSting deep interest in affairs
and he bore an unsullied reputation

Student Body Meeting and Rally Held

Student Body Meeting and Rally Held
Another lively student body meeting
was held last Friday afternoon to ar
ouse the interest of the students for the
ming, and also to transact the business
which had come up since the last meet
ing.
1t was decided to vote not to have
the U. of O. orchestra here, as another
function at this time would injure the
patronage of high school activities. A
| motion was made and seconded that
President Irwin appoint committee of
three students to determine whether or
not felt letters shall be given to those
who participate in athletics.
President Irwin made a short speech
on behalf of the student body to Keith
Logan, an active student in H. H. 8. ac-
tivities who left school Friday; and
then with the aid of the yell leader. the
student BODY held rally.
Members of both teams, and the two
coaches gave short, enthusiastic talks,
after which each player was given mine
rahs," The meeting was adjourned af-
ter a noisy trial at "Gazolla-"
Last Thursday evening the juniors
and Miss Palmateer gathered at the
home of Willetta Barratt to make arm
bands from the old pennant A very
enjoyable evening was spent in cut
ting out, fitting, and sewing the bands,
after which refreshments of ice-cream
and cookies were served. Everyone
went home feeling happy, but think
| ing of the sad fate that some OF these
bands would be likely to meet the next
| day in school
We were very sorry to lose two Of
our high school students Doris and
Keith Logan who returned to their
home in Cecil last Saturday. Doris was
freshman and Keith was one Of our
three junior boys. Since Keith has been
lin high school he has occupied a prom
inent place in athletics being one Of
our star football players. He was also
business manager of the Hehisch. They
have both been active in school and
class affairs and we regret very much
that they have gone.

the Brotherhood meeting Monday night.
These meetings are open to all high
school boys and it is hoped that more
boys will take advantage of them.
