the Mustangs lost all the way
around. Maupin gained a total
of 305 yards and 15 first downs.
The Mustangs had a total of 225
yards and 4 first downs, but they
had seven more points on the
scoreboard.
Heppner's defense is what
saved the game for them. They
held Maupin on the one yard
line at the end of the first half
and kept them from scoring.
Dick Ruhl did a fine job of
keeping the ball out of deep ter
ritory by his quick kicks.
Ruhl was Heppner's top gainer
while Wendell McDaniel's was
Maupin's.
On defense, Dick Ruhl, Bob
Ma honey, Larry Prock, and Steve
Flug turned in fine defensive
plays.
The Maupin game was the last
home game of the season for
Heppner who this Friday night
will meet Stanfield under the
lights on the Stanfield turf.

TO THE
EDITOR . . .
To The Editor:
O M Yeager", of Castle Rock,
has sent to my sisters and to
mo a copy of the Gazette-Times
of August 7, containing an ar
ticle which Incorporates a letter
from Garfield Crawford, of Ar
lington, Texas, to his sister, Mrs
Frank Parker.
This article Is of great interest
to us, as we are the daughters
of John "Watermelon" Reding
ton, former owner and operator,
or I should say, publisher, of
the Heppner Gazette, of whom
the letter speaks. Before I go
on, please note that the name
Redington is spelled with only
one D, instead of the two, as
in the story.
We are four sisters, of whom
I am the oldest. I will append
Jbe names of the three othe"
at the end of this letter, in case
anyone Is interested, or remem
bers the family.
My father, as a young bachelor,
owned the paper In the early
1880's, as I remember it. He kept
bachelor quarters in a long, low
house at the edge of the hills at
the upper end of town, and had
wonderful times with his men
friends, hunting, setter dogs and
so forth. He had a Chinese cook,
and gave fine bachelor dinners,
I have heard. He owned a cattle
ranch out In the hills, too.
He finally sold and went to
Salem, where he was in the
newspaper business, too. He also
was a scout in the Indian cam
paigns. In Salem he married my
mother, who was the youngest
daughter of A B Meacham, who
was Indian Commissioner for the
Washington-Oregon territory un
der appointment by President U
S Grant. Grandfather also, with
his brother, Harvey, built and
operated the toll road over the
Blue Mountains to the mines at
LaGiande, and the hotel where
travelers stopped there at the
summit.
My father moved his family to
Walla Walla, where he published
the Statesman. Then he moved us
to Puyallup, Washington, where
a new fertile country was open
ing up, and he published the

Puyallup Commerce there. It was
there he got his middle name
of Watermelon, because he led a
drive to save a burning build
ing by throwing at the flames
the melons from a carload of
watermelons standing on a rail
road siding. We left Puyallup in
1894 or 1895, when the "hop lice"
destroyed v the profitable hop
fields from which the town drew
its prosperity. Before that, my
father planted an acre of black-
I berries, raspberries, and black
;caps on his home acre in town;
I and sold them in Tacoma. I think
jhe really started the berry in
dustry in Puyallup.
But we went back to Heppner
in 1898, I think it was, and he
again bought and published the
Heppner Gazette. We left . the
year before the flood, and we
would all have been lost if we
had stayed there, as our house
was swept away. But my sisters
ana i nave never iorgouen nepp
ner. We were from age 11 down
to eight years, and the pioneer
town was very exciting. We went
to school up on the hill, and
loved it. Papa took us all hunt
ing jackrabbits with him, out In
the hills, which we loved. And
took us in the summer to Disch
Creek, in the Blue Mountains
some of the happiest days of our
lives. I have always wanted to
see Heppner again but never
have, since we moved from there
about 1900, to Portland, where
Papa was city editor on the Ore
gonian. "
I see by your paper that sub
scribers and citizens are asked
to suggest names for some
streets. It occured to me that it
i would be a thoughtful thing if
one street could be named "Red
' ington" Street. This is only a
! personal suggestion please re
gard it as such. Mr Yeager has
recently told my sisters and me
much of the later history of Hep
pner, and of its growth. Wonder
ful. But it was a mighty nice
i small, wild, and wooley town
when we were there, and a para-
dise . for growing girls, with a
father like ours. We helped him
In the printing office, folded pa
pers, set type (for our own pleas
ure) and generally enjoyed our
selves. I do not think Papa would
have left there, except I believe
. our very progressive mother
I wanted us in city schools.
) Congratulations on the very in
I teresting paper you put out. I
wish you had more pictures of
the present town. For many years
I was a writer and associate edi
tor of the Wasco News, here, and
I naturally there is nothing more '
interesting to me than news
papers. My sister Bernice Red-,
ington was Prudence Penny on
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer for
many years, and is now a free-.
lance magazine writer. Another!
sister, EJizaoetn Keaington sxew-1
art, has written many feature ,
articles for publication, in Port
land and Vancouver, Washing-1
ton. So we carry on the tradition
for more than one generation,
as our grandfather Meacham
wrote "Wigwam and Warpath"
in two volumes; a well-known
account of the Modoc war, in
which he, as one of the com
missioners at the peace parley,
was badly wounded. He also
wrote the book "Winema".
Wishing you continued success,
I am
Yours very truly,

A man who contributed more

mittee during nine of his 11
sessions.
William H Strayer, Baker, serv
ed in the Oregon Senate for 30
years during 16 regular and four

these legislators the pay was $3
a dav.
PINCH-HITTERS
FOR GOVERNOR
The president of the Senate is
not entitled to receive a salary
while acting as Governor during
the absence from the state of
the chief executive. He is en
titled to expenses, however. The
payment of salary was not sanc
tioned by" the constitution for
either the president of the Sen
ate or the speaker of the House,
Attorney General Robert Y
Thornton ruled this week.
Before legislators were put on
an annual salary they received
only the prevailing per diem
wage for legislators whenever
they served as acting governor
during the governor's absence
from the state or when he Is
temporarily incapacitated.
CLEAR WAY FOR STATE MALL
Four Salem residences in the
Capital Mall area were demol
ished in the past few days to
ready sites for state construction.
Two of the structures on the
south side of Center Street be
tween Winter and West Summer
streets are on the block where
plans call for the new $3,600,000
Labor and Industries Building to
rise next year.
With this clearance made, only
the First Presbyterian church,
now being set up to move and a
single residence remain stand
ing on the block.
WOULD FREE FIRE
MARSHALL
Secretary of State Mark Hat
field issued a statement Friday
proposing that the state fire mar
shall should be independent of
the insurance commissioner.
The fire marshall now serves
under the commissioner.
Hatfield said he has heard that
the state is buying, fire fighting
equipment which is obsolete.

The hearings will be held atl

Morgan also granted a 4 per
cent increase in cartage rates
within Portland and its com
mercial zone, effective Oct 20.
Morgan said he had not re
ceived a letter supporting the re
quest by the Oregon Bus Assoc
iation for smoking to be allowed
in the three rear seats of busses
although he has received a flood
t of mail opposing the request.
Smokers apparently don't care
enough about smoking on busses
to write a letter asking for the
privilege.
In another action Morgan this
week gave Idaho Power Company
permission to Issue 15 million
dollars worth of first mortgage
bonds. The money is to be used
to help finance the company's

issue.
