Echo Is another of t'mntllla county's piospermiH mii..i. towns with a bright future it nl" has nn Interesting history, one of tin old forts of Indian campaign (lavs having been established near the Place. Old Fort Henrietta was estab lished here way back, probably In 'he TiO's. and there Is still some sign left of It A number of graves near the site of the old fort also ndd Interest tn the historical features of the place There Is but little known about the fort among the old settlers and there Is much speculation about the nation nllty of the dead burled In the graves at the old fort site. It Is agreed that the material for building old ton Henrietta was hauled from old Tort Lapway and that the fort was once occupied by United States soldiers, but no one Is positive whether Indi ans or white people were buried In the graves. Some claim that they wore Indians killed In a light with the soldiers at the fort. Others claim that they were soldiers killed by the Indians n a tight, and others claims that thev were both Indians and sol diers who were killed while engaged in battle, while others claim that they were soldiers who died from ordinary sickness while stationed at tho tort Naming the Town. The town of Echo was laid out by Major Lee 3Ioorhouse in 1SS0. When It came to naming it. J. H. Koontz, who owned the townslte. was called upon to name it. He thought over the mnttor until lie exhausted all of the names of towns that he had ever heard of and then it occurred to him that the name of one of his daughters would be appropriate, and atter he suggested the name to Jlajor Moor kouse sain It was a good one and it was adopted. Echo is the name of his daughter, who was a small child then, but who has grown to woman hood since and is the wife of 3Ir. Charles H. 3Iiller. one of the leading merchants of the place. Still, Mr. Koontz thinks tho town should have been named for the old fort establish ed there many years before, but he did not think of it at the time, but he has done the history of the place Justice by naming his large flouring mills at the place for the old fort b calling them "The Henrietta -Mills." Resources. Echo has the resources to make hec a better town and she is a good town already. It draws from a large wheat belt, as well as from a stock-producing and alfalfa-producing country. Fruits and vegetables also grow here. A portion of the great Butter creek country Is tributary to the place. This section is noted for its stock, espe cially for the number of stock fed. Whoever 1ms heard of Butter Creek, immediately associates with its name the fact that thousands of fine beef cattle are fed there every season 3Iany of these feeders come to Echo for their supplies and have their shipping billed to Echo. Thousands of head ot cattle are tun in the country adjacent to Echo and tho owners of these are good patrons of the town. The irrigation plans now under consideration throughout Eastern Oiegon are ex pected to develop a large scope of country at this place, too. To state the long list of resources from which Echa draws and expects to draw from In the future would only be a rehears al of the prospects ot nearly all of tho towns of Umatilla county. Every where It is simply a case of growth, growth, growth and piosperity, and a future that looks bright to every intelligent citizen who looks about him. Schools.
