(C-T Photo) Young Businessman Starts Gopher Trapping Service Slamming of the screen door at the 11 T office Interrupted the clatter of typewriters on a busy but otherwise quiet Wednesday afternoon. A voice came across the counter loud and clear. "Is this where you put in an ad about trapping gophers?" The co-publishers at a Join ing desks looked up In unison. A young clearcut counten ance, surmounted by a base ball cap looked directly at them from across the counter, the eyes holding the question. The publishers looked at each other. The first one to recover replied, "Yep, this Is the place." "Well." said the straight talking young visitor, "I'm going into business for myselt, and 1 want to put an ad in tlio paper." Such a statement always brings respect and attention In the newspaper office, and the editor got up and went to the counter. "Just say, 'We Trap Gopher. 50c each,' " the customer said. "Per gopher or per try?" the editor asked facetiously. The young businessman was un daunted. "IYr gopher." "Do you have a partner?" "Nope." Then why the we'?" "Oh, I dunno. Just saw we How much?" "Seventy-five cents," replied the editor. The businessman Sot two-hits change from his ollar bill.

Sup Mrs. Carol Clanfleld. elemen tary school supervisor for this area for the State Department of Education, was in Morrow county Wednesday and Thurs day visiting schools of the coun ty. She toured elementary schools outside of Heppner Wednesday and on Thursday visited the Heppner elementary schools, ac companied by Supt. David R. Potter. This Is Mrs. Clanfleld's first visit to Morrow county. "If iinnnko wnll fnr Fnstirn Oregon that all of us have come to realize we are In business tnpptlinr." snld Allin Nlstnd. of fice manager of Klnzua Corp oration, In a talk before the Heppner-Morrow County Cham- per oi commerce jvionuay. "Our nmntnvnm Ihn nilhllf local businessmen, ranchers, lo- tn I onunmmunt fitntn nnrt fifi- eral agencies all either contrib ute to making our operation successful or benem irom us successful operation." Nistad gave some history of the development of the corpor ation, told of its sustained yield nolicles. its work In the public Interest and its uart In the economy of the area. The firm's payroll last year was $2,312,731.72 with 390 per sons employed. Speaking of full utilization of wood products, he said In a question and answer period that the company Is studying poss ible developments that might prove feasible in the future. The talk proved highly Inter esting to his audience since it gave so much information on Klnzua Corporation. Text In full Is as follows: Klnzua received Its name from the founder, Mr. K D. Wet- more of Warren, Pa. A river near his home in Pennsylvania bears the name Klnzua. In 1909, Mr. Wet more would get off the train at The Dalles, meet his timber cruiser, and take off for this area by team. They would camp on Butte Creek and ride out to homesteads to purchase timber lands. Approximately 50,000 acres was purchased in this manner and our deeds on these lands are land grants signed by Pres. Theodore Roosevelt. Later, Mr. Wetmore deeded a sizable forested area around his campground to the State of Ore gon and it is named Shelton Park in memory of his timber cruiser. The park is on the John Day highway and is one of the larger overnight campgrounds of the state. In addition to his holdings at Klnzua, Mr. Wetmore acquired similar timber stands on the Olympic Peninsula, Arizona, and near Baker, Oregon. He loved Kinzua best and built his only mill there in 1929. He later deed cd the government his timber and land near Baker for cut ting rights near Kinzua. After World War II. Mr. Wetmore passed away and the Forest Service contacted his heirs and received permission to dedicate the "Wetmore Forest Camp" in a Deauiuui ponaerosa pine lor es I on the John Day Highway in the Blue Mountains between Prairie City and Unity. The plaque in the center of the camp tells of Mr. Wetmore's love for the forests and the wise use he made of them. Town Company Owned To our visitors at Kinzua. we point out they are looking at an unusual seiup a company own ed town consisting of 125 mod ern homes, a large and modern grade school plant, a fine com munity church, trout lakes for employees, a scout camp and scout house, a large community hall with restaurant, barber shop, library, tavern and meet- inrt rrtnme larcrf dpnjirtmprit aiiK - " -' . r --v ctnra n fntlv onillnivrl first n i rl station with a registered nurse. open to the public, and a 24- mlln mmmnn rsrrir mllrnnrl tn Condon, in addition to the large ...... mn.ll f aMnw TntAc- l liiltt ailU jutiv.j.

He said that he could devote about two days per week to the A hiH counted on Thanksgiving and Christmas va cations for some iree ume. How ever, a contact with the Corps of Rneineers has resulted In only a GO-day extension of time from trw last of September. He said that he would do his best to complete the work on the River side study in this time. The study. Including expenses, will cost an estimated $2500. Engaging of Dr. Hummel to do this work will mean that meetings previously set for Sep tember to make a decision on the site will be postponed. Dr. Hummel was recommend ed to the board by Dr. Frank Bennett, retired president of Eastern Oregon College. The ed ucator has done many studies for school districts, both large and small, over the past 11 years.
