With this edition of Heppner
Gazette-Times, we start Num
ber I of our ttoth year. 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. He collected $25 each from

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. Otheo sold to Bob
Penland, now of Springfield.
The Wes Shermans operated the
paper until Mr. Sherman died in
1969 when it was purchased by
the Charlie Heards.
was started. He had known and
hunted with Chief Egan. In 1878
he was scout for General Oliver
Otis Howard and was In
Montana in the war against
Chief Joseph of the nex Perec.
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. Mr. Shutt gave
Mr. Redington quite a beating
and he soon sold out to Fred
Warnock and Ed Mitchell.
