members had come to the
area in wagons over the

Though there are plen

there aren't any pioneers
F o r th a t reason the
.Association felt a name
change would be ap

But one need not be the
son or daughter of a
pioneer, or even an old

H a n e b e rg s a id the
Pioneer Society has been
working on a couple of
projects While a "fine
job" was done of the first
history of the area, the
"Sandy Pioneers. Early
Settlers and Barlow Road
Days." Haneberg said a
lot of fam ily histories
didn t get in He added
there are some errors
that need to be corrected,
and places for more com
plete explanations should
a revised publication be
undertaken
A n o th e r g o a l is a
museum Currently ar
tifacts and memorabilia
are on display at the San
dy Community Center,
with the items rotated in
the half dozen display
cases
Plans for either a new
addition or a new building
have been discussed A
building at Pioneer Park
has been su g gested,

Haneberg said most favor

other item s would be
donated were there such
a facility
"W e know if we had a
building there's just a
world of things people
would like to put in it. " he
said
Haneberg understands
the importance of having
a record of the past His

1800s. the gold rush days
He and his wife, Edna,
visited Alaska this sum

moved to Bull Run when
he was 2, in 1911. The
railroad served the area
then, and the Hanebergs
lived about a m ile from
the station
The fam ily 's posses
sions arrived four months
late, and Haneberg is
sure they were sent back
east to the other Bull Run,
b e fo re m a k in g it to
Oregon
He watched Bull Run
grow to a town with a
hotel, store, apartment
buildings, post office and
about 20 homes, and then
he watched it dwindle
T h a t is one o f th e
histories he feels he could
contribute to in a revised
pioneer publication
To get anywhere then
one had to go through

duroy roads, made of logs
split in half with the flat
side down, allowed horses
better traction on hills.
These gave way to plank
roads, which were nice
and smooth u n til the
spikes worked loose, in
which case "you could
hear someone coming for
miles.”
