Although not holding the place of prominence it once occupied, the sheep industry
still figures quite extensively in the income of the county. Before so much of the
owning land was broken up for grain raising. Morrow county was one of the im
portant wool producing sections of the Northwest and time was when Heppner
boasted of being the biggest prime wool shipping point in the aforementioned tor
ritory. The county used to range somewhere in the neighborhood of a quarter of a
million sheep, but the coming of the gas age. with big tractors replacing the horse
In the field, coupled with low prices for mutton and wooL many of the ranchers
turned their attention to the raising of wheat and one by one the big flocks were
disposed of. If the industry again becomes prominent it wiU be through small
flocks on the many ranches, but the tendency to run cattle precludes a general
return to the wool industry.

The Blue Mountains, spanning the southern portion of Morrow county, are the scene of much activity these days, what with the
Heppner Lumber company and the Kinzua Pine Mills company carrying on extensive cutting and milling operations. The Hepp
ner Lumber company has a modern plant a short distance north of Heppner, of which the accompanying picture shows the cutting
plant and the dry kiln. Since the picture was taken a long drying shed has been built to the north of the dry kiln. North ol the
sawmill is the planer shed and manufacturing plant. Across the highway from the mill buildings are the machine shed and pile
yard. The harvesting of the timber crop means Jobs for a good many people and the Heppner plant has become one of the big
industrial operations of the county.
A Typical Stand of Pine Timber in the
Blue Mountains of Morrow County
Ponderosa pine, spruce and fir predominate in the tim
bered area of the county, with the pine drawing the
greater part of attention from the timber operators.
At present there is strong competition facing the saw
mill men from a source that is causing them and the
U. S. Forest Service considerable worrq. An infestation
of the spruce budwoim and the sawfly throughout the
Blue Mountain area is a cause of grave concern and
a campaign is being formulated to combat these pests
which have already marked large tracts. Much of the
timber thus affected may be salvaged throug hincreased
cutting by plants operating in the region, but the ef
fect this will have upon the future supply of saw tim
ber is a matter of concern to the timbermen and the
forest service.

addresses, nothing much has
been planned before Saturday
morning. Beginning at 7 a. m.
Saturday, the Wranglers, Morrow
county riding club, will serve
breakfast to the visitors at the
Legion hall. Serving will continue
until 9. The Wranglers have
termed it a "harvesters' break
fast," which is probably correct in
light of the menu which includes
ham and eggs, potatoes, biscuits
and coffee.
Saturday afternoon from 4 to6
there will be a cocktail party at
the Legion hall. This will be fol
lowed by the banquet which will
be served at 7 o'clock at the gym
nasium by the Soroptimist Club
of Heppner.
Since it has been impossible to
get a line on the possible attend
ance, the room committee Is urg.
ing that more rooms be made
available. The hotel is full to
overflowing and up to noon Wed
nesday residential accommoda
tions had been signed up to take
care of about 70 visitors .By Fri
day evening it is likely that many
more rooms will be needed. Per
sons having rooms that can be
used should contact the informa
tion desk at the hotel at once.
