BUCKING THE WILD ONES AT THE HEPPNER RODEO
ltb'
Seen at the Annual Round-up, the Heppner Rodeo, Recognized as one of the Best Shows of the West.
FIE NEW BUILDING
ISED BY LOCAL
The dairy industry of this county
is growing by leaps and bounds.
More and more farmers are devot
ing their energies to the raising of
dairy stock and they are eliminat
ing the grades and low producers
and gradually substituting pure
breds. And right here at Heppner
the producer finds a ready cash
market for his products. This is
a double incentive to dairying. The
history of the Morrow County
Creamery company has been one of
steady growth and expansion. It
was organized originally in 1910 by
a group of enterprising local farm
ers who even then saw in prospect
this as a coming dairy country. The
first years were naturally hard as
there were but few in the dairy
game. More and more gradually
realizing that the dairy cow afford
ed a steady and sure cash income
throughout the year, this business
grew with the growth of the far
mer's dairying operations until to
day it is one of our leading and
most successful industries. In their
"Pride of Oregon" butter alone they
turn out more than 120,000 pounds
per year. This product is univer
sally in demand and is distributed
throughout the state and west
coast They also manufacture ice
cream and their equipment is rated
of the best nnd most modern avail
able. The future of the dairy Industry
is assured and the constant growth
of the firm'3 business now calls for
even larger quarters. A lot has
been secured on the main street
where it is planned soon to erect a
still more modern and more com
pletely equipped plant, on the order
shown in above illustration. This
will be another decided asset to
Heppner and Morrow county.
To the largest extent credit for
the success of this enterprise must
be given its live wire and progres
sive manager, W. Claude Cox. who
as a young man started driving a
milk wagon, worked for the origin
al firm in various capacities, learn
ed the business from the ground
up.'gradually acquiring stock in the
firm, and today is its largest stock
holder and active manager. , There
is no man among us who has great
er faith in the future of this sec
tion as a dairy country nor is a
greater booster for it. Mr. Cox will
ever be found ready to do his share
when it comes to promoting any
venture that has for its object the
welfare, progress and further de
velopment of this region. Here is
an industry, a home industry that
should receive every encourage
ment. Our country grows as our
commercial enterprises grow and
as our individuals prosper. Pat
ronize, eat and talk "Pride of Ore
gon" butter, the home product.
The year just closing has been a
successful one for Morrow county
farmers and business men. The
new year, 1928, gives all indications
of being better than ever. Get in
on the ground floor. Welcome to
Morrow county. We want you as
one of our farmers or business men
and you and your family as a per
manent resident.
LUNCHEON CLUB
LIVE BOOSTERS FOR
HEPPNER, COUNTY
One of our civic organizations
which must be credited with much
of the progressive development
work recently accomplished here Is
what is known as the Heppner
Luncheon club, a club formed orig
inally as a social get together body
but one now whose support and
co-operation is always sought in
advancing any progressive meas
ures. The club membership is compos
ed of about thirty of our leading
business men who as a body act
as our chamber of commerce, there
being no active chamber of com
merce in existence at this time.
A weekly luncheon is held where
matters pertaining to Heppner and
vicinity are discussed and the
members rub elbows and get each
other's opinions.
Much good has been accomplish
ed through the efforts of this or
ganization. Among other things
they were active workers for and
boosters for the new school audi
torium which reflects great credit
on the school, city and those who
were instrumental in bringing it
about The secretary of this club
will be pleased to answer any In
quiries relative to property values,
investment opportunities, etc. They
bid you welcome and want you to
become one of our permanent settlers.
Morrow, county's 1927 wheat crop
brought a return of nearly $3,000,
000. This year looks just as good.
WHAT SHERMAN
ELECTRIC CO. WILL
MEAN TO COUNTY
In discussing the question of
what Sherman Electric company
control of light and power will
mean to Heppner and Morrow
county, Mr. Glenn L. Corey, super
vising manager of Sherman Elec
tric company and district manager
of Pacific Power & Light company
at The Dalles, said:
"I believe that the Sherman Elec
tric company will be able to render
to the citizens of Heppner and
Morrow county a far better elec
trical service for their industries,
commercial establishments and
homes than they have ever known
in the past. This is by reason of
the fact that we have completed
transmission lines into this terri
tory capable of supplying the elec
trical needs of the territory for a
long time to come. This of course
means that the community and the
district is no longer hampered In
its industrial development by lack
of adequate electrical power at
reasonable rates. Any industries
that may be attracted to Heppner
will have sufficient electric power
available for their needs. The
growth of any city is somewhat as
sisted or retarded by the type of
electric utility operating In it, and
you may have assurance that my
company will do everything possi
ble that is consistent with good bus
iness to assist in the development
ot this section.
"It is now possible for merchants
to properly light their establish
ments with modern lighting fixtures
at reasonable cost, and it is also
possible for them to employ labor-
saving devices operated by motors
ni their places of business. Res
taurants and other establishments
serving food may now have the ad
vantages of complete electric cook
ing and baking equipment, improv
ing their sanitary conditions in
many instances, and rendering a
pleasing service to their patrons.
All of these things will result in
improved appearance of commer
cial establishments from the light
ing standpoint and this is bound
to be reflected to a justifiable extent
at least in the amount of business
done.
"The place, however, in which
our influence will be most univer
sally felt will, I believe, be the
home. Under the rates offered by
our company, it is now possible for
the housewife to use electricity not
only for light but for washing, iron
ing, cleaning, cooking, and the re
frigeration of foods. All of these
things are not only possible but
are practical and economical. Think
what this means in the life of the
average housewife! No longer need
she be a slave to the wearisome
back-breaking tasks that were to
our mothers merely a part of
housekeeping. If electricity in the
home is used to the fullest possible
extent, think of the hours that may
be employed in leisure, recreation,
self-improvement and in social con
tacts, thus presenting a far more
enjoyable existence in every re
spect. Men usually employ all sorts
of labor-saving devices in their fac
tories and business offices, and I
can see no reason why a housewife
is not entitled to just as much con
sideration as regards her home
equipment.
"I want to wish for the citizens
of Heppner and surrounding dis
tricts a very prosperous and happy
year."
