HEPPNER GAZETTE -
Chats With Your
Home Agent
By ESTHER KIRMIS
There was a hanging rope, a
swayed -backed white horse, and
a circle of pioneer wagons. Those
are the things that attracted my
attention as I drove onto the
Boardman school grounds on
Tuesday, August 4, when the en
tire county turned out to wel
come the famous wagon train
making its way from Indepen
dence, Missouri to Independence,
Ore.
According to the sheriff's
posse, who met the train early
Tuesday morning as it crossed
the Morrow county line the
sway-backed white horse (be
longing to an Irrigon farmer) was
ound among the horses of the
waf;on train. This evidence re
sulted in a trial of Tex Serpa,
wagon master, which put him on
the other end of the hanging
rope!
All this "hanky-panky" set the
jovial mood of the day which be
gan when the wagon train pulled
Into Boardman around 12:30 P M
and made camp.
The Morrow county fair and
rodeo queen and her court had
a busy day. They met the wagon
train as it crossed the county
border and accompanied It the
14 miles into Boardman, ate with
them at noon when the Tillicum
club of Boardman served them
lunch, made appearances at the
hanging, danced a can-can for
the crowd, served the "twentieth
century" pioneers their baked
salmon in the evening; and dan
ed at the square dance that
followed. (Queen Elizabeth has
i'hing on these girls.)
Most of my activities were con
fined to the "food-end" of this
celebration as our extension
units spearheaded the plan of
soliciting food and help from all
the women's organizations in the
county.
I picked up Joe Hay, our new
extension agent, at the Hitchin'

Non-Surgical Method
Cures Hemorrhoids Painlessly
A relatively painless, non
surgical method of treating
hemorrhoids (piles) is work
ing therapeutic miracles for
thousands who suffer from
rectal and colon disorders.
A recently developed elec
tronic treatment is proving
more effective than surgery,
with none of the after effects
of surgery.

TIMES. Thurgday. August 6, 1959
Fost, and we went over to be
briefed by Mrs Richard Waymlre,
chairman of the foods committee.
She told its how everyone In the
community had pitched In. Gal
lons of potato calad had been
prepared and were in the cooler
of the Boardman tavern. Bob
Reed, chef of the Hitchin' Post,
had some 200 pounds of steel-
head in the locker which he
would prepare. Mr Rands had a
ton of watermelon cooling in
Martin Skoubo's locker.
We ran shuttle service between
all these places and the school
cafeteria in the afternoon and by
6:30 P M the salmon bake be
gan. Mrs Nathan Thorpe, who had
a guest book, informed me that
over 600 people from all over the
country had registered. (Even a
girl from Holland.)
It was close to 8:00 P M before
the last person was served. But
everyone had a serving of steel
head which made the wait worth
while. Someone made the obser
vation that the Boardman school
grounds will very likely be a
watermelon patch by next year
because of the number of seeds
which must have dropped Tues
day night.
I toured the wagons In the
afternoon and wondered how so
much could be packed Into such
a little space. (Our pioneer peo
ple must have had to choose
wisely as only Important Items
could be taken.) The twentieth
century could not help but make
this crossing a little easier. They
had a kitchen truck with a U-
mu. ua.ic, an u . auu a
large van to carry the hay for
the horsese and mules. But even

that many miles, in all types of
weather, and under many trying
circumstances. (Just this contin
ual celebration every night, must
take plenty of stamina!)
The only member of the wagon
train that I really got to talk
to was a Dave Gastman of Cot
tage Grove, Oregon. He was deep
ly tanned, wore a buckskin
Ifringed jacket and had a charm-

really did a Job of fraternizing
with the crowd. He was selling
a picture of the wagon train
coming across the desert in Wy
oming. I'm sure he did a good
business. He has a restaurant
in Cottage Grove and felt that
this wagon train publicity would
surely improve his business.
Going home that evening, I
was following Velma Glass,
county health nurse who decided
to have a flat tire at the Roy
Martin (Lexington) driveway.
With the accompaniment of their
barking dog we changed the tire.
My day was complete!
