HORNER REPRESENTS
UNION COUNTY ON HOARD.
Name "Ee-lio" Not Suitable for Stock
feeding Town, Says the Geographic
Board Other Changes.
Pendleton, Dec. 28. That the name
of the town of Echo may be changed
to a name believed by the Oregon Geo
granhic board to be more appropriate
and to one of historical significance,
!s the opinion of Ma'jor Lee Moor
house, who returned yesterday from
Portland, where he has been attend
ing th first meeting of the board of
which he Is a member.
Echo, according to the plan discuss
ed at the board meeting, may be known
as Henrietta. The name will carry a
reminiscence of the stirring ' Indian
wars of '56. at which time Ft. Hen
rietta was established in that vicinity
by soldiers from Ft. Dalles. The name
was originally given In honor of Hen
rleeta Haller, wife of Major Haller, In
command at The Dalles, who, when
the solfliers were ordered Into this
section to fight the Indians, furnished
them with a wagon to haul their sup
plies. Later J. H. Koontr. and Major Moor
house called the town Echo, In honor
of Mr. Koontz's daughter, the late
Echo Koontz Miller. Now a move
ment Is on foot to restore the old
name.
Jinny Changes Discussed.
Many other proposed changes were
discussed, according to Major Moor-,
house, at the first meeting of the ,
board, which was held In the off'oo ft
