Session Honors
Rep. Weatherford
With Memorial
A memorial resolution In hon
or of the late Rep. Frank Weath
erford was passed at the spec
ial session of the legislature on
November 17.
Kcp. Weatherford, who lived
at Olex. died August 26. He had
served In two sessions of the
legislature, 1959 and 1961, and
represented the district of which
Morrow county Is a part.
Rep. Irvin Mann of Stanfleld
presented the memorial in the
House of Representatives, and
In doing so, made the following
remarks in tribute to the late
Rep. Weatherford:
Frank Weatherford was a
member of a highly respected
pioneer famllv In which public
service is a deep-seated tradit
ion and in which political in
dividualism is a highly devel
oped trait.
This is illustrated by the fact
that Frank served four of the
counties now in the five-county
twenty eighth district as a Dem
ocrat state representative in the
1959 and 1961 sessions.
His brother, Ike, served In this
House as a Republican represen
tative in the 1953 session from
Wallowa County.
His brother, Marion, was an
unsuccessful Republican candi
date for Congress in the 1950's.
And his brother, Bill, was an
unsuccessful Democrat candi
date for county commissioner in
Morrow County in I9b4.
Of the surviving brothers,
each embraces his political par
ty with complete partisanship
and sincerity, as did fTanK.
Frank was born near Olex In
Gilliam County in 1896. He re
sided there continuously except
during his service in the army
during World War I.
His only schooling was
throueh the tenth grade which
did not keep him from becom
ing a most successful sheep and
cattle operator and a good sol
id legislator.
Frank was a lean, weather
beaten man who was equally at
home on the range or in the
woods as he was in the halls
of this assembly. At the time
of his passing he was still in
public service as a (jiniam
County Commissioner and was
still active in partnership with
his son, Earl, in the iivestocit
business.
Gilliam County and this state
are the better for Frank Weath
erford's having been here and
we have lost much in his pass
ing. Attends BPA Meet
Oscar E. Peterson, a member
of the Bonneville Power Admin
istration advisory committee,
will attend an all-day meeting
of the BPA committee in Seat
tle Friday. He plans to make
the trip by car, leaving today
(Thursday). Peterson said he
will return via Castle Rock, Wn.,
where he will visit Ora Yeager,,
long time rseident of Heppner
and historian of this area. Pe
terson said that he will return
Sunday or Monday.
