THE MARCH OF TIME: America's Food Crisis A topic of inevitable interest to everyone. Editor's Note The following ar ticle was received the first of the week from H. L. Keyte, old time printer who helped assemble the plant and put out the first issue of the Heppner Gazette. He might have written at greater length, but the fish are biting in the Rogue and he felt the urge to run down and see if he couldn't catch a sal mon. We are grateful to hun for his contribution and trust he will write again when some event of those early days comes to mind. The moving spirit that caused the birth of the Heppner Gazette in the spring of 1883 was one J. H. Stine. He blew in from Weiser, Idaho, where he had just launched a weekly herald of the news in that section. If he had started any before that at Weiser I never heard, but I know of two he started since one at Independence and one down here at Grants Pass, the Courier. His mode of operation was to get the merchants of the town to put up the cost of the plant and he .reimbursed through advertising patronage. But after getting a paper started it seemed necessary for him to sell his interest in it in order to MAKE ROUTINE VISIT Mr. Cherry, representing Her man Sites, district manager of the office of defense transportation, and Frederick F. Janney, district organization officer of Oregon with offices in Portland, were in Hepp ner Tuesday on matters pertaining to their respective duties. They checked up with the local rationing board as part of their regular work. settle his bills in the town to date and start looking for a new pros pect "Billy" Morrow, of the merchan dising firm of Morrow & Son, brought J. W. Redington back with him from one of his trips to Port land and assisted him in taking over Stine's interest and the whole works by assuming the debts of the plant. At that time there were four large general merchandise stores in Heppner, namely: J. L. Morrow & Son, Heppner & Blackman, Dave Herren and John Madddx, the lat ter closing out shortly after; W. J. Leezer's hardware store; two drug stores, owned by Cass Mallory and O. H. Hallock; two hotels, Minor's and Hinton's three saloons, two liv ery stables, two blacksmith shops, two barber shops, and Natter's brew ery. The Gazette was in a small building on the corner of the Nat ter property. This just about com prised the business section of Hepp ner at that time. Yes, that was 60 years ago. I won der how Heppner would look to me now. I would like to see. Kindest regards to any old friends that may still be there. HARRY L. KEYTE. RETURN TO PORTLAND Mr. and Mrs. Earl Hottman and children returned to Portland Mon day after spending several days here visiting relatives. Hottman, a defense worker injured his foot and came here to recuperate. He is a nephew of the late Harry Brown. Mrs. Hottman is a daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Mahon and a sister of Mrs. Loren Matteson. The price panel, consisting of three members and acting in coop eration with the local rationing board, is the answer to most prob lems affecting business operations in Morrow county, Mrs. Edwin Dick told the business men's luncheon forum Monday at the Lu cas Place. Mrs. Dick advised business hous es that notices of OPA changes or new rulings released by that body through the newspapers are authen tic and that they should heed them. The price panel, comprised of her self, Mrs. Blaine Isom and Mrs. Katherine Burchell, frequently ac cepts the news stories and acts up on advice contained therein days before receiving notification from OPA authorities. Followig immediately after the price ceiling clinic held at the school house Monday forenoon, Mrs. Dick's talk was timely and filled with advice. Business men were urged to take their problems to the price panel and if they can hot be solved here they will be sub mitted to the district office in Port land with assurance of prompt reply. Blaine Isom was chairman and introduced a proposal that some thing be done about removing grass and weeds from the rodeo grounds. Several proposas were made but none accepted. Mrs. O. G. Crawford's name was drawn for chairman next Monday. Hefner M.:sic Study club will not close its season with a concert this year and in its stead has in vited the public to participate in another community sing at 8 p. m. Tuesday, May 4. The affair will be held in the parish house. Press of other duties and a lack of time to prepare a program com parable to past years caused the club to make its decision, and since the community sings have proved popular the committee in charge of the closing meeting favored that type of entertainment. A list of songs chosen for the "sing" has been made up of num bers from some of the light operas, incuding "Showboat., "Naughty Marietta" Roberta", "Desert Song" and others. There will be other songs you love to sing, rounding out a pleasant evening.
