HARDMAN COUNTRY.
A Nice, Prosperous Village Sur
rounded by a Kick Agri
cultural Section.
SOI VACANT LiDIT FIR Ml
The Early History of Hardman Its Busi
ness Men The Testimony
of the Farmers.
(TTTS YOU travel southward from Hepp
' r ner, the metropolis of Morrow and
J the sometime metropolis of East
ern Oregon, you find the land rises in
steps or benohes until you reach the low
range of mountains that traverse the
southern portion of the county. The
nearer you reach the mountains, the
greater the rainfall, benoe the more pro
lific the orops.
Twenty miles south of Heppner ib to
be found a thriving little trade center,
and surrounding it one of the beet farm
ing seotions in Morrow county, or in any
county. Your attention will be called to
this trade center briefly and with some
few scattered notes of a reliable and con
vincing oharacter this Bhort artiole will
olose.
This country was for years the great
est stock range in the West, but some
twelve or fifteen years ago a number of
hardy pioneers ventured into these fieldB
for the purpose of building homes.
Their suooess prompted others to follow,
and as the settlement grew, accommoda
tions of a public character were necessary.
A po&toffioe was established some nine
years ago and cared for by D. N. Hard
man. Later on, some one ventured into
merchandising, and one by one acquisi
tions have been made that result today
in a flourishing little town. It may be
well to state here that in this oountry
real estate gambling, is unknown and
you will find thriving little towns here
and there, but none of the wild speoula
tion in town property that graces some
of the oities (?) of other parts of the
world. There is no statute against a
private individual buying any and all
property that he desires, but property
is generally sold conditionally, and if a
man wishes a traot of land on which to
build be can seoure it on the most reas
onable terms, but it must be stipulated
in the contract that some kind of a pub
lic or private building be erected on the
premises within a reasonable limit. Such
conditions rather disoourage the division
of the earth into minute paroels which
are of no intrinsic value, and it also pre
vents a stagnation in business from which
the many promising "oomraercial oeD
ters" of Puget Sound, and dther coun
tries, are today suffering extremely.
Hardman, for that is the name applied
to the town and precinct, has grown slow
ly and steadily. It has suffered in its
infancy from causes which are common
in many other cases of a similar nature
and oondition. The location of Hard
man is grand. High enough to seoure
plenty of fresh air, level enough for the
building of a magnificent city, well water
ed and surrounded by the riohest and
most favored soil under the sun, far
enough from all other places of business
to insure excellent results if energy is
properly directed.
Your attention will be first oalled to
the town as it is. A number one build
ing was erooted some years since by the
M. E. church (north) society, aided by
the good people of the vicinity. The
Lone Balm Lodge, No. 82, 1. O. O. F. has
a splendid ball here, owns its own
grounds, have rooais nioely fitted and is
entirely out of debt, with several bund
red dollars in the treasury. The order
is too well known to need any oomment.
Wherever sunlight penetrates, its influ
ence is felt, and in many places void of
sunlight it turns night into day. The
present membership is about 40. frcs
officers, M. S. Maxwell, N. G.; Linooln
Craddick, V. G. ; Ed. 8. Cox, Acting
Sec'y; J.J. MoGee, Wardon.
There are three general merchandis
ing establishments in the place, one con
ducted by W. E. Kahler, one by V. N.
Hardman and the other by Cox, Adams
& Co., one hotel, one restaurant, two
feed yards, a blacksmith shop and a har
ness shop. The postoffioe is ably con
ducted by Mrs. Geo. Bleakman and it is
but simple justioe to say there baa never
been a "kiok" against the postoffiee dur
ing her regime. This is another evidence
of the thorough fitness of women for po
sitions of honor aud trust. Go when
yon will you will always find Mrs. Bleak
man at her post.
V. If. IIAltDMAN
Crossed the plains forty-two years ago,
with an ox train. Settled in the vicinity
of what is now called Hardman, in Nov.
1S78. Nine years ago the people demand
ed a postoffioe and Mr. Hardman circu
lated a petition aud did other work ne
cessary to effect the location of a post
office, which was named in honor of its
originator. Mr. Hardinan continued in
the office as-P. M. for a number of years
but wishing to be relieved of the press
ing cares of meroautile life, he dosed out
large stock of goods and sent in bis
his resignation as postmaster. Mr.
Hardman owns a valuable ranch
near the present thriving town named
after him, where he is extensively en
gaged iu farming and stock raising.. He
is grading native cattle with Polled An
gers and Hereford, while his band of
horses is mainly of Norman strains. Cat
tle can be carried through the entire year
at a oost of not to exoeed five dollars per
head, and at three years old are worth
from $20 to 825. Mr. Hardman says "this
is the easiest oountry on the coast in
which to make a good living." There
has never been a failure. Mr. Hardman
has, at various timeR, filled publio posi
tions with great credit, and even now he
is the republican nominee for county
commissioner, to which office he will
carry the judgement and sagnoity of a
thorough business man.
o. m. uoans.
"By their fruits ye shall know them,"
was never spoken more truly than when
applied to a mechanic. It goes without
saying, that Mr. Hogue's work is of a
superior character, which is attested by
hundreds of farmers in all parts of Mor
row oounty. He manufactures only
first-class lines of light and draft har
ness and the,',not that he will have to in
crease his working foroe in order to keep
paoe with the demand for his goods,
proves conclusively that his prices are
lower than elsewhere for the same quali
ty of goods. Carries a full line of sad
dles, blankets, etc.
SAM MEADOWS.
Worthy son of Vulcan, in a spaoious,
well-fitted apartment, supplies the wants
of the publio in the blaoksmith line.
Opened a Bbop at Hardman in 1885, where
for three years be pursued bis chosen
vooation. Iu '91, after an absence of
three years, he returned to Hardman
again, having full confidence in the fu
ture of this favored locality. In answer
to the query as to his specialty, be mere
ly replied, "anything." The redeeming
feature of this country blacksmith is
that he can and will do work "to order."
He is acknowledged by all to be the best
blacksmith in Eastern Oregon. Busi
ness has inoreased recently to such an
extent that Mr. Meadows has found it
necessary to employ a helper, and Win.
Dennis is acting in that capaoity.
F. M. SCRIVNEIl
Located at this place eight years since
Has been engaged in freighting and
staging. Farmed ono season, with prac
tical results. Mr. Scrivner assumed the
role of landlord at the Hardman House
one year since, where the weary traveler
can always find rest and refreshment at
very modest charges. Mr. Scrivner is
fortunate in having for a help-meet, a
good, plain, practical woman, who Is
thoroughly conversant with the fine art
of cooking. The great point in a public
house is to provide for the wants of the
transient trade, and plaoe at their dis
posal the coinfortB of a home. Mr. Scriv
ner has an interesting family aud among
the number two little girls who bid fair
to make their mark in the musical world
JUDGE 1. E. BOHIVNEK
Located in Hardman some six years since.
In his boyhood days the judge was ap
prenticed to a wheel-wright and learned
to be a master builder in that line. He
still retains a controlling interest in s
wagoD-building plant at this place. Two
years ago J. E. Scrivner was elected
chief magistrate of the preoinct, and
later appointed judge. In both capaci
ties he has served with credit and to the
eminent satisfaction of the public. He
is at the present time the people's party
choice for treasurer of Morrow Co., Or.
Ourfriendi will do well to cast a ballot for
"Uncle Jimmy" on June Oth. There are
men, perhaps, who cut a wider Bwath;
but there Is no more honest, hind-hearted,
loyal man living than this same Uncle
Jimmy Sonvner.
OEO. BLEAKMAN
Located iu this neighborhood ton years
since, at which time his chattels in
voiced were a few plug horses aud $'Z1
in money. Mr. Bleakman now has a flue
farm, a dozen good horses, pretty well
out of debt and good prospects. "Can
reoouimend this oountry in the highest
terms." Speaking of our county papers,
Mr. Bleakman was strong in their en
dorsement and eaid he believed our
newspapers were doing more to eduoate
our ohildreo than the schools. Has an
abiding faith in the future greatness of
this grain-growing district.
J. X. STEELE
Has charge of the stage, or ohange sta
bles ofnhe O. O. & I. stage line. Mr.
Steele has been located here for three
years and has lost only one day and a
half, which speaks well for him. He
sbj b the day and a half mentioned, was
passed at a wedding, with which he is so
well pleased that he oan hardly regard it
as lost time.
OEO. HALL
Lives in the city also, but it was not our
good fortune to meet the gentleman,
therefore we have noted nothing con
cerning his present condition or future
prospeots.
DR. O. T. AKEltS
Is looated here, and whenever there is
any demand for a physician, bis services
are brought into full play. The doctor
enjoys an excellent reputatiou in the
community. However, doctors and un
dertakers have little exeroise in this
oountry, officially.
A. M. ROY8E,
A membor of the Baohelor's Club, lives
in the city, although his interests are
centered in a farm some two miles away.
Girls, don't overlook this rase. A man
who is kind and attentive to an old lady,
might be interesting company for a young
one. Look to it 1 Suoh bargains are not
offered every day.
MttS. SOl'HRONIA KIltKKNDADL
Conducts a very modest, neat little res
taurant and lodging bouse, where the
oomforts of a home oan be secured. We
are glad to note that the traveling public
and especially the I. O. O. F. boys, are
kindly disposed toward the "widow aud
the orphan."
FRANK KIRKENDALL
Keeps a livery stable, be is also sub
contractor on the mail route from Hard
man to WBgner. When you have done
Hardman you will know, as does the
writer, why, iu the faoe of suoh wonder
ful opportunities, there is not more of a
representation.
j. p. HADLEV
Located in this section thirteen years
ago. Has been farming eleven years.
Never had a failure. Lightest orop
bushels, while the other extreme was
50,'jj, Reports average yield for ten years
at 20 bushels per aore. Cost of produc
ing wheat, 2(i4 oents, with an average
market price of 55 oents. Does it pay to
raise wheat? I -
This is a pretty good country. Im
proved land is worth about $10 per aore.
Some good olaims are still vaoant.
J. P. Hadley is a good farmer, a fine
neighbor, honest as the day is long, not
easily convinoed, but when conviction
onoe takes root "by lightniu'" he is in
it "for keeps." He is a yarn spinner of
the old school, but there is naught of
harm or malice in all bis talk. Shakes
peare knew bim well in that prince of
funny men, Sir John Falstaff.
Owing to the pressure of political and
neighborhood news that must be pre
sented simultaneously with this review
of the farming country, many items of
interest and much of valuable tluta, must
be left out.
JOE BANNISTER
Was too busy with a petition concerning
school matters to say muoh of anything
about the oountry except that it is "good
enough fur bim." His farm is on the
south Bide of Book creek and is kept in
"apple-pie order."
T. J. MEItltn.L
Lives up near the foothills. He says, "I
firmly believe this the beet country I've
ever seen. I have more than held my
own and can cheerfully recommend this
country to a homcBeeker.
JAS. WYLAND
Is extensively engaged in stock raising.
Gives the annual cost of oarryiug stock
through at live dollars per head.
j. o. KEITHLT
Is interested ohiefly in breeding fine
horses. Mr. Keithly oame here from
Mo., and be says "it cornea the nearest to
costing nothing to winter stock, of any
place on earth."
kd. s. cox
has some good rauoh property and has
been interested iu sheep raising, but is
turning his baud of sheep into a new
line of business. Hereafter Mr. Cox will
devote his eutire attention to merchan
dising. IIAHUISON CilAFIN
Located in the foothills seven years ago
and is well suited. Has a fine orchard,
plenty of spring water and an excellent
stock range. There are some good claims
vaoant,
J. II, ALLEN
Who lives in Day Fork, speaks well for
the country and predicts a bountiful crop
this season.
ANDREW ROOLI
Was hoeing onions. Andrew has, for the
last two years, made a very comfortable
living by gardening. Prior to that time
he was interested in the wool industry.
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report.
ABSOLUTELY PURE
Mr. Bond lives about sixteen miles south
west from Heppner, near what is known
as Rood Hill, where he owns about a
section of good land. Mr. Rood said:
"This is the best part of Morrow county,
and before the range was all plowed up,
this was a good stock country; but now
t must be a grain growing country or
nothing. There is certainly room for
more people, and they will be the better
as well as the oountry to which they
come.
Mr. Rood has been identified with the
best interests of Morrow county for many
years. He is well know n as a man of in
tegrity and exoellent judgment and the
republican party made a wiBe choice iu
selectiug him as candidate for the office
of county judge. His vast experience
among men, and his natural good judge
ment, renders him worthy of any oflice
in the gift of Morrow county's people.
Mr. Rood is a modeBt, unassuming gen
tleman, who has the hanpy faoulty of
minding his own business, and during
twenty-five or thirty years residence in
Oregon, he has had plenty of business.
He has not sought politioal preferment,
but the office has sought him, and if the
people of Morrow oounty wish a man to
serve their best interests, it will be prop
er for every voter to so deolare himself.
This may be no place to talk pohtios, but
we have always maintained, the oflice
should seek the man. Without any so
licitation on his part, Mr. Rood was
ohosen by the republican convention
and now it beoomes every true loyal son
to vote for him on June (ith. Whether
elected to offioe or not, you will never
find Mr, Rood oharging the civil govern
ment with results that are due to his own
personal mismanagement.

been framed, aud have a perfeot right to
be. Dear friends, be patient; by and by

ways be so, is our ouly sustaining prop.
