Great Grandad Brought Cattle
One or nor groat grandtathers
was the man after whom Ar
buckle Mountain was named.
He was one of the first men to
bring cattle to the county.
At times when Mrs. Matte-
son isn't on the iob as an alert
and friendly salesperson at Pen
neys, she mav be out trying to
catch a steelhead or Chinook, a
favorite sport that she and her
husband enjoy. Her largest
Chinook catch was a 28-pound-er.
As late as last Tuesday she
caught a steelhead. It wasn't
large six pounds but it was a
catch.
Manager Jerry Adamson has a
very high regard for Neva's
ability and believes her good
work is a maior reason for the
success of the local store and
for the fact that Heppner has
retained its Penney store when
others have been closed in small
towns.
He extends a cordial welcome
