COLD SNAP IN TEXAS PRODUCES
REPERCUSSIONS IN YAKIMA
That cold snap in Texas which
stirred the memory of Garfield
Crawford to recall vouthful davs
in Heppner has had a far-reaching
effect and now comes another his
toric gem from Ora M. Yeager of
Yakima, Wash. Yeager, as his letter
implies, was on the welcoming line
when Crawford arrived here on his
conquest of the world. He paints a
more graphic picture of town and
surroundings than the Texas man
and brines to mind several more
beloved characters of the "good old
days.
Yakima, Washington,
February 13, 1940
Editor G. T.:
I have just finished reading the
February issue of the old home
town paper, the G. T., and the letter
by my old friend Garfield puts me
in somewhat of a reminiscent mood.
I often recall the old boyhood days
m Heppner, and a letter like Gar
field's always unrolls a wonderful
panoramic vista of time, color, and
adventure whicn the modern cinema,
with all its make believe, can never
attain.
I can see those old time-worn hills
in all their stark beauty and mystery
as the sun comes gleaming down the
western slopes and bathes the val-
levs in limpid gold, and finally van
ishes over the close horizon of Dut-
ton's Hills.
I still long to scale the heights
above Heppner and gaze at the eye
straining distances off to the south
and to see once again those superb
rolling hills that seem to wander
and stumble over one another in
their haste to be the first to reach
the end of man's vision.
They always bring me closer to
God. as thev seem to typify the rise
and fall, rise and fall of life till
finally the heights are reached and
leave one standing on the upper
plateau of life.
When I reach these heights, there
aro no shame, no illusions; nothing
but the beautiful reality of life and
creation.
I can still see the -very men that
Garfield speaks of. but my memory
goes still farther back, long before
the days of which he speaks. I well
remember when Garfield iirst ar
rived in Heppner, a tall, gangling,
good-looking youth, as all the Craw
fords were in those days (I can't say
as to the later generation, but I don't
think you have wandered far from
the paternal pattern). There were
no little Crawfords running around
the dusty streets in those days, but
I hope there always will be some
of the old stock remaining, as the old
line of Crawfords has meant some
thing to me and to the town of
Heppner.
I wonder if Garfield recalls Mike
Galloway with his long red mus
tache. Or was it Josie Danner's fa
ther who was the first photographer?
I remember Josie and Zoe Patter
son coming down to our house to
play with my sister, and how mad
I used to make them by tearing
down the doll houses they built.
Garfield left out one character
that will always be imprinted on my
mind as one of the most colorful,
kindly, and lovable old men and I
lrnnw that Garfield will place him
among the immortals of Heppner
when I say "Old Sullivan," the wood
sawyer of our day. I can see him
today with his old back bent over
his sawhorse, his hands gripping his
old bucksaw, and mean old Orve
Rasmus slipping up behind and up
ending the old fellow. Orve is one
of my best friends in Heppner, but
I have always wanted to upend him
the same way, and maybe some day
my chance will come.
Then there was the blind horse
man. I think his name was Ely
Keeny. He used to trot his horses
around town with his high-wheeled
cart. Also Mrs. Bradley ambles into
view into my visits into the past.
She operated the old City Hotel.
Don't forget Pole Thompson, Al
Binns, and Tom Morgan.
I remember after my father
bought the old Sterling Smith furni
ture store, how he used to let me
play around in the shop in the rear.
I got a background of good work
manship there that has been of the
utmost value to me ever since. I
remember his foot-and-hand-power
wood-working machinery, and I of
ten wonder what he could have
done with all the high-powered
speed machinery I. have in my shop
todav. Seems to me I should have
done better. I have never been
able to equal his skill and work
manship, but I have had something
to reach upward to.
I also remember those wonderful
whistling melodies I used to hear
across in the old tailor shop. Old
Abe. the whistler, will always be
present whenever I hear a whistler
i
on the modern miracle, the radio.
My father helped build Congress
man Ellis's home. How many of
you people remember when Park
Garrigues's old mill burned in the
upper part of Heppner? I think our
old schoolhouse burned the same
year. That was my first year at
school. Mr. Weir was principal, and
Mrs. Weir was my teacher. Miss
Miles was a teacher there also. My
sister and I used to carry our fath
er's lunch to him while he was
working on the new schoolhouse on
the hill, and I remember the thistles
we had to wade through down on
the lower flats. It has always been
a mystery to me why the school
was built there.
Garfield mentioned Dr. Swin
burne and Dr. McSwords, but I re
member Doc Shobe, as he used to
give me candy, and candy was hard
to get in those days when a quarter
was about the smallest piece of
money in use. I remember when
Mr. Briggs was clerking in Will Lee
zer's store, and Tom Humphreys
hadn't arrived on the scene yet.
Don't forget Dr. Shipley, who was
our family doctor, big long pipe
and all.
I wonder if East (R. I.) Thomp
son remembers when we used to
I used to walk ten miles with a
pail of water so the big boys could
drown one poor little squirrel. By
big bovs I mean Bill Ball, Orve Ras
mus. Ralph Sperrv. George Vincent,
Bob fStotf) Ellis. Jack Horner, and
a host of others that were too big
for their pants in those days. Well,
anyhow, they quit growing so I
could catch up with them.
Well, I could ramble on and on,
and mavbe some day when some
other old-time school mate has
homething to say, I may even add
something to say, I may even add
don't we hear more from Art Minor?
Good luck and continued pros
perity to all in Heppner.
Sincerely,
O. M. YEAGER.
