Eastern Oregon Loses Two Top Citizens
Within the past week this section of Eastern
Oregon lost two well known citizens Frank Wilk
inson of Heppner and Stewart Hardle, Condon
publisher. Their interests and their lives were
widely divergent, one a rancher, the other a news
paper publisher, but both men had a circle of
friends that was far larger than just their home
towns.
Mr. Wilkinson's ranching operations were '
among the largest in Morrow county and through
his efforts, and those of his family, who all had
a part in a successful ranch, his operation only
recently was named for the county grassman of
the year award. Such an award is a tribute to his
farming ability, but a far greater tribute was paid
to him by those who worked for him and those
with whom he lived. They lost a friend on whom
they always knew they could rely.
Stewart Hardie's death will be keenly felt In
Condon and Gilliam and Wheeler counties where
he has for many years been a newspaper editor
and publisher. His service to his community over
the years was great for he was a member of the
state senate, city recorder and county clerk. He
spent his life In Condon and devoted most of It to
helping his town and county grow and develop.
To us he was a real friend and a "next door
neighbor" in a publishing business that frequent
ly requires a helping hand when mechanical or
other problems beset a small paper. He cheerfully
helped whenever needed though his own prob
lems In getting out three papers were at times
enough to make most men give up In despair.
Stewart Hardie's greatest tribute also came
from those with whom he worked. An employee
told us, "He's the finest boss I ever had."
Boosting an Oregon Product
Oregon can be proud of many things. Among
them Is a timely idea born here In 1955 which
has proved to be worthy of national attention.
The idea is Red Hat Days a project for better
landowner-sportsman relations. Its inception two
years ago brought together timber operators,
stockmen and ranchers with sportsmen, the Game
Commission-and essentially every organization In
the state concerned with hunter conduct.
Like an earlier Oregon Idea the antl-litter-ing
campaign Red Hat Days has blossomed Into
a nation-wide program. This year, the Izaak Walt
