Some great man once said that
there are three kinds of lawyers; the
kind that get you into trouble, the kind
that get you out of trouble, and the
kind that keep you from getting; into
trouble, the lawyers that keen vou
from getting in trouble need not be
included, so we think. The main pur
pose of life is not to keep out of
trouble. The dead are out of trouble.
and for the most part, so are the lazy
iid stupid. Julius Cjesiir had a wi.v
of bringing about peace; but always
and forever over the peaceful provin
ces of the late J. Caesar, the vultures
soared and sailed. The lawyer that
society needs and which will in time
displace all others is the man who
associates himself with productive in
dustry. Such a man is our friend J.
T. Knappenberg, of the Egg City.
Mr. Knappenberg was born back
in York State and not far from the
city of Danville. His parents were
J. A. and Sarah Knappenbere. The
strong men of the world have, almost
without exception, come from this
part of the earth's latitude. They
were born on the snow-line, where
rocks and ice and difficulty abound.
The people who have to save up the
products of Summer, so that thev mav
have enough to last them during the
six months of cold Winter, are the
only people who accumulate either
riches or ideas. Where Nature is too
lavish, man does little for himself.
As a boy he attended the country
school nearby. Learning was not diffi
cult as he had a natural inclination
for literature, history and agriculture.
He also learned from his associations
with the great Out-of-doors. Simple
fare, little meat, no tobacco, and a
practical absence of tea or coffee, with
plenty of out-of-door work will evolve
the type of man that makes the world
go round.
When he was fourteen years old his
family moved to town. Here he com
pleted the regular High School course.
While in High School he played on the
football team, hitting the line hard,
a l.abit or eo.iihct which he has car
ried through life. The next three
years he attended the Genesee State
Normal School. When he finished
here he went into the nursery business.
One day a flood came along and J. T.
Knappenberg sat on the fence and
saw his property float down stream.
To an old man it might have been I
disastrous, but Joseph smiled and con- I
eluded that the Lord had other work
for him to do and he left to other men
the nursery business.
In 1S96 he went to Buffalo and ac
cepted employment in the steel mills.
Steel is a wonderful thing and to be an
expert steel blower was the heighth
of the young man s ambition, lou
can imagine his gratification on the
day when he qualified for a steel
t'siwer's pos'.i.c.:!. This mean'' ?ix
dollars per day besides the prestige
which the workers possessed among
the rest of the employees.
About this time the desire to study
law entered the young man's head;
He left the Steel field in much better
financial standing than he did the
nursery business. He entered a law
office to prepare himself for school.
Here he filled the inkwells, changed
the blotters and kept the boss sup
plied with matches. Whether he as
sisted with the broom and the brush,
I do not know. Wo do know that he
did enter the law department of the
University of Buffalo a short time af
terwards. Here he met another young
fellow who was working his way
through, mainly on enthusiasm and
what commission he could squeeze on
collecting accounts, and the two form
ed a partnership. Herman and Knap
penberg occupied very unpretentious
offices but success smiled down upon
them. At least when young Knappen
berg trod from the campus green three
summers later with his sheepskin
under his Stein-Block, he carried over
two hundred good Woodrow Wilson
dollars to his credit in his bank book.
Classes and collections came during
the day and books and the midnight
oil at night. After graduation he
practiced for three years.
One day a party of men called at
his office and commissioned him to go
to Oregon to investigate a land pro
position which had been brougth to
their attention by J. A. Woolery, oi
lone, Oregon. They were men who
had been raised in the city but were
anxious to get on a farm. He had no
definite instructions more than to use
his judgement concerning the land as
an investment, and where they could
make their homes. While on the way
to Oregon, Mr. Woolery died. Knap
penberg continued his journey and ar
rived at lone to see the land. As with
all people from the East, it was a
brand new proposition to him. The
large farms, the system of farming, all
were strange to him. Estimates of
crops in the past and of general con
ditions varied widely and he determin
ed to go out on the ranches and find
out conditions for himself. At that
time the foreman of the large ranch
which the Woolerys were working left
and a manager was needed. J. T.
donned his overalls and took his place.
He seemed to fill the bill and quick
ly mastered the new methods of farm
ing. The next year Mr. Knappenberg
and Mrs. Woolery were married and
they began to get the various ranch
es of the Woolery estate in good work
ing order. Responsible men were
placed on some of them and others
were rented. All of them were care
fully looked after, improved and stock-

The SECRETARY
Heppner, Oregon
ed and individually carried on the 1
books so that it was an easy matter to
see exactly how much each ranch was
paying. This is the method of mana-'
gement now in vogue. Mr. Knappen
berg and Mrs. Knappenberg are both
devoting their attention personally to
the property and needless to say it
has enhanced in value and desirability
until now the Knappenberg ranches
are known as the best property of
their kind in the county. Thus do we ;
see where the knowledge and ex-1
perience gained in his early boyhood
has served Mr. Knappenberg well.
The White House dairy ranch lies :
one mile west of town and consists of i
four hundred acres of fine alfalfa
land. It was so named after the white
house on the place. Twenty-five cows
are milked the year 'round and the i
town of lone is supplied by this dairy.
Cream is sent to Portland and Seattle
which commands the highest price. 1
This place has been improved with all
modern fixtures during the past few
years and when completed will be one
of the model dairy ranches in the
county.
The Spring Creek ranch is located
just one half a mile north of town and ;
derives it name from the running ;
ipring. This water is snarkline. soft
and cool and better mountain water
can not be had. There are seven j
hundred acres in the ranch and it con
stitutes their experiment station. I
am told that Mr. Knappenberg is test- j
ing out sorghum,field corn early roast- j
ing potatoes, dry land alfalfa and the i
different kinds of wheat on his place
with the idea of accomodating them j
to dry land growth. These are yet !
in the experimental stage but it would j
not surprise many to see him discover
some methods of farming better
adapted to this climate and raising
many food products heretofore
thought impossible.
Four and one-half miles west of
town are one thousand and forty acres
comprising the stock farm. It is
equipped for hogs and cattle. It has
a new fence enclosing it and the build
ing are in excellent condition. Sixty
two beef cattle are on the place now.
Another three hundred and twenty
acres east of town are rented as a
sheep ranch and about a thousand
acres are scattered in other places, in
cluding a timber claim of one hundred
and sixty acres in the mountains.
J. T. Knappenberg believes in the
Constitution which says that all men
are born with certain inalienable
rights the right to love, laugh, lift
and lend a hand. Helpfulness and
Cheer are the original currency and
purchase the good-will of men. He
was one of the men who breathed the
breath of life into the Commercial
Club of the Egg City and no enter
prise worthy of note has been success
fully completed without his counsel,
aid and financial support. Re was its
first and only president, being still at
the helm. He is big enough to know
that you can't satisfy everyone and
like Tweed, of New York, in days
gone by, believes in getting the thing
lone and letting them howl after
wards. J. T. is an Elk, which is the
lame as saying that he smiles, speaks
well of his fellow men and when sick
ness and trouble afflicts any member
of the community he regards it as his
personal duty to aid, comfort and ex
tend the helping hand, lie is not like
the man who visited the "lhousand
Islands" and kicked on the count. He
was brought up in the Episcopalian
faith but no belief is large enough to
encompass his sympathies and feel
ings. His religion is essentially pan
theistic. He believes in the here and
now and is willing to take one world
at a time, as Henry Ihoreau said. I
In speaking of the possibilities of
this county he aptly expressed the en
tire matter when he said, "The country
will make the man." Born and raised
on a farm and knowing conditions as
they are in many states this is a signi
ficant statement. This statement is
based upon what has actually been
done by men who are here and wnat
one can see with his own eyes. Few
men are as enthusiastic over the pro
gress which has been made in recent
years. A few years ago ranchers
bought condensed milK by tne case,
hauled water for mlies and chickens
were as scarce as trench tourists in
Germany. In the course of five or six
years we find lone to be the bgg l-ity
of the northwest, the local market
is supplied with butter and cream and
large amounts shipped annually to I
other parts. Water is now on nearly j
every ranch of any sl.e. Five drilling :
machines were at work within walk- i
ing distance of town the dayl happen-!
ed there. Water means more live-,
stock, more gardens, more hogs and
chickens, not to forget the amount
needed for the automobile, many of
which I was told are owned by ranchers.
It has been said that doctors thrive
only as people get sick unci lawyers
thrive through damage suits, crimes,
dissolutions, disasters and deuths. I
Some have it that editors thrive on
scandal, wars and disturbances, all
of which flavors of the truth. Today,
however, we realize that the only sure
road to success is via the direct road
of mutuality, reciprocity, co-operation.
Self-interest and self-preservation
both turn on rendering an honest ser
vice. And so we find J. T. Knappen
berg, a man with alurge, luminous and
leagal brain, directing his energies to
wards the betterment of society. He
has a placid smile, the glow of health,
the good teeth ,the bright eyei and the
hooeiul attitude which marks a man
who is on gnwl terms with himself,;
with the world, and with hi Creator.
Ha dresses well, but not too well, and i
his hobbies are agriculture, eggrirul- j
ture, and culture of any nature which
will make us live happier, longer and
better. He is a forward looking man,
still in his prime with his duys of
uxe'ulnemi reaching before him. He
accepts the past for its lessons and
examples but his faith in the future
is bright and big. I'retenre and sham
exist only as a chemical trace and one
needs but to lie near Mm to graup his
vibrant cheer and spirit. Morrow
County and Oregon needs more u h
men, men who smile at the faults, ,
foiblea and frailties of their fellow
men and pass the smile audible to ; a
everyone, who are glad to we others ;
succeed for when pioHpenty reigns it!
is generally pretty well handed
around. We ara advancing, slowly,!
surely, atinfutorily, thanka to such ,
men at J. T. Knappenberg1. t
