This might seem a little like jumping the gun as the date of Mar. 30, 1883 appears in Homesteads & Heritages as the first date of the Heppner Gazette. In any event, our masthead date is what we go bv here at the G T and we don't think the world will come to an end either way. According to Giles French in Homesteads & Heritages, J. II. Stine came to town early in 1883, collected about $400 from local people to get the paper started. He apparently was given $50 each by Henry Heppner and brother-in-law, Henry Black man.

Theodore and Ed R. Bishop. Oregon's first newspaper was the Blue Mtn. Eagle at John Day and Canyon City. The itinerant newspaper men could get a George Washington hand press and a little type with a capital of about $200, less if the type were second hand. " It seems that John William Redington, a red headed Irish man from Massachusetts, hit town about the time the Gazette Publishers Down through the years there have been a number of other editors and publishers here. Most of the files of the Gazette-Times were lost many years ago in a fire so that we have many times depended on Rachel Harnett and her mu seum files to help us out. Mr. Redington sold his paper in 1886 to the Rev. Henry Rasmus who sold to Otis Patterson. Then there were other papers from time to time, edited by John Coffey, Vawter Crawford, A. H. Hicks and Thomas Nelson. Corleis Merritt bought the Gazette in 1888, in 1889" he sold the paper to John Redington who operated it until 1901 when he sold to Warnock and Michel. The Crawford family ran the newspaper for over forty years, first Vawter, then sons. Arthur, Spencer and Jasper, and then Vawter's younger brother, Otheo G.

Uter, he was in the Umatilla and Morrow County areas in the fight against Chief Egan. Mr. Redington was able to take over management of the Gazette soon after arriving. About a year later, the Heppner Times appeared, under edi torship of Homer Hallock, son of OH. Hallock of Heppner, According to the account by Giles French, a newspaper fight ensued with Mr. Reding ton accusing Mr. Hallock and Augustus Mallory, notaries public. with overcharging homesteaders in locating land claims, and inferred that Mr. Mallory had stolen a hog. The Gazette offered to locate settlers for nothing. The Ga zette slogan was painted on barns all over the area "Hepp ner Gazette Hell on Hog Thieves and Hypocrites". The Times soon died but was later revived. lone and Lexington and, for a time, Irrigon and Boardman had colorful editors for their newspapers. In one incident, Mr. Reding ton had cast aspersions on his competitor, E.M.Shutt and a lady employee.
