Rod Thomson Saves
Tot from Drowning .
Little 2-year-old Claudie Pem
ington had a narrow escape from
death by drowning Monday morn
ing. While at play on the banks of
Willow creek at the Gale street
bridge, she fell into the murky wa
ters. Cries of playmates attracted

ers from close at hand, and Thomson
went waist deep into the water to
her rescue after the childs mother
had made a futile attempt to reach
her.
First aid was given and the child
was rushed to the Morrow General
hospital near-by, where Dr. L. D.
Tibbies was present and gave further
treatment. Considerable artificial
respiration was necessary to revive
her. She is reported to be making

originally from Kentucky, arrived
here recently and have been resid

RECALLS FOREST OPERATION
When C. A. Minor, esteemed Mor
row county pioneer now of Mt. Ver
non, dropped into the Gazette Times
office Monday afternoon, the pres
ence of F. F. Wehmeyer, local for
est ranger, was inspiration for some
reflections upon his old-time opera
tions in the Morrow county forests,
Mr. Minor recalled that at one time
he and his brother, the late Oscar
Minor, operated 37,000 acres of deed
ed land and 100,000 acres of allotted
land within the local district. He
Gazette Times, Heppner,
largest amount . of such land ever
controlled by one operator. Head
quarters were made at the old Ham
ilton ranch where a large amount of
hay was produced, and fences kept
in good repair. "Riding out corners"
was a necessary part of Mr. Minor's
operation, some of the hardest to lo
cate of which he described to Mr.
Wehmeyer. A few , corners, those
township corner markers placed by
surveyors, he never did find, but
the majority he did locate, and his
description of locations was proof
of his familiarity with the larger
part of the local district. His grand
daughter, Miss Louise Minor, ac
companied him and they left for Mt.
Vernon Monday afternoon.
