DILLARD Long Resident Tells Of History By ROSA HEINBACH "In ill my 45 yean in this area, I ve never een it to cold for so long a time: nor teen the snow itay on ao long." It was a blind man talking about the dependable old aubject in any aociety the weather, aa he "saw" it. Into the village itore walked a familiar old gentleman, a resident of Dillard, feeling his way along with a cane. He always greets ev eryone with a smile and a Jolly remark, although he can hardly hear what his friends say to him. Yes, it was Milt Norris who lives in the two-story old house on the highway between the two stores in Dillard. In all the years Milt and his wife have lived there he al ways put out a helping hand to anyone needing a lift. He has al ways been a farmer at heart and still operatca his tractor among his fruit trees with utmost skill. The Norris family Milt and Mat tie and five children moved to Or egon by train from North Carolina in April, 1904. They were headed ior Coos county but couldn't get across the mountains on account of bad roads, so they stopped in this valley. Milt says today, "The cli mate and living conditions and soil from Oakland to Riddle along the South Umpqua are the most fertile and productive I have ever seen, and I never regret stopping over at Dillard." In the fall of 1904 they settled on Dr. E. W. Carter Chiropodist Foot Specialist 129 N.

Roseburg, Oregon Som"".? COLUMBIA BREWERIES,lNC.w?sHC,M06r,a CONGRESSMEN DISCUSS WHEAT PROBLEM WITH GROWERS Both Oregon senators, The Home Oregon delegation, and Rep. Clifford Hope of Kansas, met with representatives of the proposed National Wheat Crowars Assn. at luncheon in Wash ington, D. C. recently to discuss the problems facing the wheat industry. L-to-R: Rep. Norblad, Republican, Ore.; I. H. Peter son, Secty. to Sen Morse; Rep. Harris Ellsworth, Republican, Ore.; what was then known as the "Old Kent Place," 500 acres of timber land and some cleared productive lfcnd. They planted corn, wheat and oats, and struggled for a living out of the unbroken soil. This place was later subdivided and known as the Redding place and now is the Heinbach place. The youngest boy, Ivan, was born on this place. There was at that time one way to cross the South Umpqua here by a skiff. In the summer of 1904 the county built a swinging foot bridge. Later a toll ferry waa es tablished. The ferry was operated by Jimmy Dillard until about 1912, when the first steel bridge was built. In the spring of 1929 the Norris bought the place belonging to the R. R. Davidson family. For IS years Milt made his living there, mostly by raising sheep, grain, tur keys, hogs, cows and selling milk and cream. About this time Mrs. Norris became ill and needed ex tra care which he, with the help of neighbors and friends, gave her. Mattie is a great lover of flowers and had some special-varieties she cared for with loving kindness.

She said the only mean thing she knew of anyone doing to her was, when she became so ill, she had to leave the ranch and go down to Dillard, and someone went to the ranch and dug up her prize peony. Milt and Mattie said they used to buy Umpqua Chief flour, made at Roseburg, for 70 cents a 50 pound sack, and Milt still uses that brand. How old Is 82? That's how old Milt is. Mattie is 81. How did Dillard get Ha name?" he was asked. Before his time a man by the name of Jimmy Dil lard bought a large land claim, he said. He deeded a strip of it to the Southern Pacific Co. to encourage the building of a railway line and depot. He also donated land for the townsite, with the stipulation that no liquor ever be sold in the town. His daughter Jennie, married Sam Miller and they made early his tory but that's another story. Is there anything that can be done to remove the cataracts from your eyes, Milt was asked. He said, "No, I have consulted all the doctors around and they all say 'Only an operation' and I have suf fered too much for that. I only want to be able to feel my way around my house and yarda."
