The Bunchgrassers
This is a history of Lexington, Morrow
County, Oregon, a book that fills a long-felt
need in the chronicled history of the county.
It is an historical narrative and features
the City of Lexington throughout its 175
pages ... its settlement and growth; its
contributions to county leadership; and its
decline all accurately presented by the
man most competent to do so, Sam G.
McMillan, a third generation Lexington
pioneer.
McMillan lived in Lexington until 1955.
He is on the faculty of Mt. Hood Com
munity College, Gresham.
The Oregon Historical Society, Oregon
State Archives, The Oregonian newspaper,
Morrow County Court House records,
personal interviews and individual family
records provide the authority and histori
cal fact for THE BUNCHGRASSERS.
' The history of Lexington is told in color
ful and often humorous fashion by a good
, storyteller. There is also a section on the
pioneer families of the area. Any person
with ties to Oregon should read this book.

Sixteen Heppner Boy Scouts
are back from the Wallowa
Mountains after having
explored 13 lakes, covered 70
miles on foot, and climbed to
the,9,595-foot summit of Eagle
Cap.
The boys were accompanied
by Scoutmasters Del Piper
and Glenn Ward, with Herman
, Winter assisting. The only
casualty was a wound that
required only one Band-Aid
from the first-aid kit. A troop
of Tigard scouts were not so
fortunate. Two of them fell on
the Eagle Cap glacier and
were injured so badly they had
to be rescued by helicopter.
Wednesday night the group
experienced snow, hail and
sleet. Thursday (hey awoke to
heavy fog that covered the
mountain tops. The troop's
base camp was established at
Sunshine Lake. Glenn Ward
instructed the scouts on flora
and fauna of the area. Tim
Hedman and Mark Walsing
ham caught 106 fish to add to
the hikers' menu.
Piper had high praise for the
boys, who displayed "great
stamina" and gained a great
appreciation of the wilder
ness. The group included Troy
Borst, Tim Hedman, Dale
Holland, Steve Marlatt, Scott
McEwen, Steve McLoughlin,
John Patching, Mark Piper,
Charles Rawlins, Greg
Sweeney, Mark Walsingham,
Ron Ward, Herman Winter
Jr., and Bruce and Ron
Young.
Fifteen scouts qualified for
the 50-mile hike merit badge;
one with a sore throat had tc
drop out.
