Water problems
plague Irrigon
Irrigon residents on city
water experienced a second
dry spell within a two-week
period when the well pump
failed a second time after
being repaired.
Workmen were on the job
quickly but delay in receiving
new parts extended the water
shortage for several days.
Two small pumps were
brought into service, pumping
directly into the line. When the
pump motor went out a third
time Friday a third small well
was added to keep up with the
demand.
Mayor Chester Wilson
commended residents for
their cooperation in water
conservation during the
emergency.

Pioneer
reunion
Three pioneer families, the
Cuppers, Capons and Pages,
will hold a family reunion at
Christmas Valley, July 12-14.
According to Ray W.
McDuffee of Seal Rock, these
three families are well repre
sented in Morrow County:
Mr. and Mrs. Ray Wright,
Heppner; Harold and Kenneth
Wright, Ruggs; Beth Wright
Clark, Barton Clark, Bart,
Ned and Cathy Clark, Nonda

Clark (Cupper) in 1817;
Harriet Cockerell (Capon)
was born in 1820; Miles Page

Ray and Nell McDuffee
have written a book of early
life in this section of Oregon
titled "Across Wide Seas and
Lands to a New Life on the
North Forth of the John Day
River." It is replete with
stories about the Heppner
area, such as:
"A Sperry flour mill was
built in Heppner ($4 for a
100-pound sack and one bushel
of wheat exchanged for 35
pounds of flour). A state-built
bridge at Monument allowed
sheepmen to get their wool to
market and all to get their
stock across the river to
pastures and to market; the
circus came to Heppner, for in
1889 the railroad reached
there. The Palace Hotel Co.
was incorporated and a
'magnificent three-story
building' was built to accom
modate travelers. Phil
Metschan Sr., being the best
known manager. There is a
story about Phil Metschan,

(as shown in the portrait in the

troubles of 1878 he was in the
barber's chair being shaved
when an alarm came the
barber grabbed his rifle and
rused off leaving his customer
half-shaved Metschan grew

distributed in July.
