1902
On the line of the Heppner
branch of the Oregon Railroad
& Navigation Co., in the nor
thwestern portion of Morrow
County, 16 miles from Hepp
ner is the prosperous city of
lone.
lone is the second city in
business importance and pop
ulation in the county. Prior to
1897, what is known as the old
town contained only a post
office and store and a few
houses. Within the past three
years the town proper has
been built. The population of
lone in 1900 according to the
census figures, was 223, but
since that time the population
has increased about 50 per
cent. The increase in popula
tion is due to the rapid
development and settlement
of the country tributary to
lone. Up to the time of the
building of the railroad in 1888,
the northern portion of the
county had very few settlers.
The few people who took up
claims and tried farming were
forced to abandon their places
and leave on account of the
extreme isolation. There were
little or no transportation
facilities, and consequently
there were only a few people
and they were engaged in
stock raising. Within the last
five or six years, the fertile
country surrounding lone has
been settled up by people who
are now making nice farms
and homes, and who are
prospering by growing wheal.
The soil surrounding lone is
a rich sandy loam, well
adapted to the growing of
cereals, and when in the good
Lodge installations
involve local women
Installation of Magnolia Lo
dge No. 34 of the Degree of
Honor Protective Association
was held at the Vert Memorial
Building, Pendleton, Jan. 20.
Members of Kate J. Young
Lodge No. 29 who attended
from Heppner were Mrs. Dean
Connor, Mrs. Ruth Berg
strom, Mrs. Ed Gonty, Mrs.
Ida Farra, Mrs. Lincoln Nash
and Mrs. Earl Soward. Mrs.
Clara Gertson drove to Pen
dleton earlier to aid lodge
members there.
Heppner members assisting
with the installation were Mrs.
Linoln Nash, Mrs. Ruth Berg
strom, Mrs. Clara Gertson,
past national officer and
district organizer, and Mrs.
Ida Farra, past state presi
dent. Mrs. Gertson took the presi-,
dent's chair and installed the
officers. Mrs. Farra took the
past president's chair and
gave them their obligations
and the past -president's pray
er. On Jan. 27, Pendleton wo
men came here for the instal
lation of new officers of Kate
J. Young Lodge No. 29 of the
Degree of Honor Protective
Association. Taking part in
the ceremony were Rita Rose,
past state officer; Hazel Case,

state of cultivation is very
productive. Like other por
tions of the county, the soil has
a wonderful faculty of retain
ing moisture. Last year, grain
that never had a drop of rain
from the latter part of March,
yielded as high as 25 bushels
to the acre.
To the southward from lone
is the principal grain belt of
Morrow county. There is a
gradual slope back to the
mountains, and the farmers
have a down hill pull to haul in
their wheat. Wheat is hauled
by wagon and team for 25
miles to lone. Six horse teams
with two wagons, with 150
bushels at a load, are on the
road from early in the
morning until late at night
taking two days to make the
trip.
There is still a large body of
government land that can be
taken by homestead in this
portion of the county. The land
along the railroad and near
the town is all taken, but back
from three to 15 miles there
are thousands of acres of good
agricultural land yet to be
taken.
The lone country formerly
had the reputation of being too
dry for anything, but now
wells are being dug and water
is being found at a depth of
from 10 to 40 feet.
During the past year owing
to the great amount of
summer fallowed land, the
grain crop was short, how
ever, lone warehouses receiv
ed 240.000 bushels of wheat.
About 95 per cent of this grain
has been sold by the farmers.
lone has a good weekly
newspaper the lone Post, Misi
Virginia Deaton, editress.
The town has good public
school. Miss Anna Balsiger,
principal. Miss Cora Simpson,
assistant, primary department.

Gene Starks reviews
Michener
The Bookworms heard a
review of Centennial, by
James Michener, a novel
celebrating the development
and the greatness of Ameri
ca's West at their first 1976
meeting at Florence Green's
home Jan. 13.
Gene Starks used the com
plete novel and the Reader's
Digest condensation (Vol. 1.
1975) as the basis for her
review.
This 14hapter book centers
about a fictional, small town
near the South Platte River in
Colorado (the 38th state which
is celebrating Its centennial
this year.) A learned man
from Georgia with a rich
background in American his
tory is sent to write this story,
which is dedicated to "three
distinguished Colorado news
paper men."
He begins with the geologi
cal formation of the land, its
mountains, rivers and plains
and describes it before it is
ready to receive animal life.
The prehistoric life evolves to
familiar animals and to man.
Lame Beaver, an Arapaho, is
the first of many interesting
human characters. White tra
ders, fur trappers and adven
turers precede the first set
tlers, who journey west and
learn of the vast area as they
struggle.

bestseller
Pllinfl of early
cowboy life are especially
fascinating to many readers.
The killing off of the buffalo
and the coming of the rail
roads are well told. The birth
and growth of the small town
and the stories of the various
families from diverse cultural
backgrounds that become part
of the town provide excite
ment. The great struggle for
water and the efforts of the
dryland farmers are detailed.
Michener involved a tre
mendous amount of research
in the creation of this novel
which he began In 1936 and
completed almost 40 years
later. He acknowledges his
indebtedness to specialists in
geology, paleontology, ancient
history, flint knapping, Indian
life, American history, cattle
trails, ranch life, sugar beets,
birds, Mexican Chicano pro
blems, dryland farming, cat
tle industry, guns, railroads,
irrigation and others.
"Centennial" Is Michener's
19th book, and professional
reviewers state: "Again he
fascinates, engrosses, and
educates," "this book is a
must. It will be one of the
great bestsellers of the de
cade, if not of the century."
"An enthralling celebration of
our country-a stunning pano
rama of the West."
