on the shady aide of the afreet between
two rraybeards' aad ftl into conversa
tion with them.'. One of 'the gentlemen
was A. B. Wells who came to Eastorn
Oregon in 186S. ''When 1 came to
HeppneY twenty-six years ago," said Mr.
Wells, "there were only two stores here
Heppner ft MorroW and Taylor Bpencer.
Therf were about a score of people here.
Press Looney lived In ,a log cabin north
of town. George Stane berry and family
were here. Henry Jones and others."
The other Waa Julius Keithley, who
qame hero In '74. He told me of the upa
and downs of the town since that date.
Heppner ft Mort-ow waa the principal
firm then. Later It waa Heppner ft
Maddook. Maddock vaa Once sheriff and
was shot through the face In arresting
the notorious Hank Vaughn. Later Hepp
ner went Into partneomtp with Black

was named after him, ,
"TheVe he goea now," said some one;
"he may- look like a bobo, but he ia the
heaviest taxpayer In the county. That
row of brick blocks opmmencing opposite
the Paloua' Hotel and running toward
the depot la bia property. He owns a big
warehouse too. Tie & better to everyone
else than, to himself."
' I followed Mr. Heppner and presently
dropped Into a chair beside him.
