Letters to
Our fair share
To the Editor:
I would like to speak out in
behalf of all western Umatilla
County and Morrow County
residents concerning Blue
Mountain Community Col
lege's proposed new admins
tration building.
In my opinion, this structure
should be built in Hermiston,
I'm tired of being treated as a
poor relative that receives
crumbs for tax monies paid
toward the college. More
classes could be moved to
Hermiston permanently to
serve them and Morrow
County, leaving room at
Pendleton for the needed
expanding administration
services.
We, as individuals, are all
practicing conservation out of
necessity and I think it's about
time public bodies joined in.
The savings in gas alone to
Morrow County, Echo, Herm
iston. Stanfield, McNary and
Umatilla residents would be
considerable. I feel we can no
longer tolerate the selfishness
of the board's present plans
and must demand our fair
share.
The financial boost to the
economy . of the Hermiston
businesses, that regular day
students would generate,

Henry Allison Graves
PRAIRIE CITY, ORE. -
Henry Allison "Hank"
Graves, former Morrow
County resident, died Feb. 7,
1981, at Prairie City at the age
of 77.
Mr. Graves was born Jan. 4,
1904 'at Hayden, Indiana, to
Ward and True Graves. When
he was eight years old, he
traveled with his parents in a
four -day trip across the plains
by railroad to Gooding, Idaho,
where his uncle lived. The
Graves family made their
home at Gooding, where his
father began farming and
raising fruit.
Mr. Graves later moved to
Oregon where he was engaged
in farm work. While driving a
combine in the wheat fields
near Condon, he met Lola
Montague, who was cooking
for the threshing crew. They
were married June 23, 1928, at
Eightmile. The Graves had
eight children, six girls and
two boys.
Besides working in the
wheat fields, Mr. Graves did
general farming, milked
cows, and, at Boardman,
raised melons for a few years.
For 23 '2 years the Graves
family lived in Sparta, Ore
gon, where he farmed and
worked in the woods. While in
Sparta, he bought what had
once been called the "Stage
Stop, Hotel and Store," which
he sold in 1964.
After leaving Sparta, he
worked for the Forest Service
at Bates, Oregon, and then for
the U.S. Geological Survey at
Bend. After retirement he ran
a paper route at Redmond and
at Prairie City, where he also
woked on the landfill. -
Mr. Graves was a charter
member of the Sparta Grange,
a member of the Boardman
Grange and then a member of
the Old Tumalo Grange, which
consolidated with the Pine
Forest Grange. He spent 50
years as a grange member.
He was a lover of the outdoors
and hunting and fishing were
his best-loved sports.
the Editor
should prompt immediate
action hv every businessman.
Yours truly,
Pat Wright
Missed a
great story
First, let me compliment
you on the excellent picture of
the lone bank opening on page
three of your Feb. 5th issue.
Cannot understand why the
individuals were not identi
fied. Especially, the gentle
man in the forefront in the
checkered sports coat. I am
sure they have nothing to hide
and would love this publicity.
I think, toe, you missed a
great human interest love
story in the page one
announcement that Pat Camp
bell is leaving for Ireland on
Feb. 27th where he will be
married. Its still not too late to
get together with Pat and edit
this feature article.
Here's the drama of an
Irish-American returning to
the land of his grandparent's
birth in 1978, meeting and
wooing an Irish girl from
Newry, some 6000 miles away,
and now the culmination,
wedding bells. Incidentally,
his father, John Campbell of
Condon, is my cousin.
