What a fine week just became history. It included the great
spring musical production at Heppner High School and a
great Morrow County Historical Society trip to Baker,
Sumter and Haines.
This year the local thespians have rally scored
exceptionally high marks with school production of "As You
Like It" last fall, "The Diary of Anne Frank" during the
winter and now with the musical "Cheaper by the Dozen."
Anyone who missed attending these dramatic treats has only
himself to blame. I shall long cherish in memory all three.
I've been so pleased to see support and attendance build up
during the year.
Those of you who peruse the Sunday Oregonian noted the
picture and article about the coming reactivation of the
Cracker Creek mines in the Elkhorn Mountains out of Baker
and in the general area of Sumpter.
Last Saturday 47 citizens really enjoyed their day's bus
outing into this sector of Oregon. The two-bus affair was
skillfully organized by Morrow County Historical Society's
two sterling leaders Delpha Jones and Ruth McCabe. The
hired bus driven by a friendly, competent driver from Wasco
and the county Senior Citizen bus driven by Ione's bus driver
par excellence, Dot Halversen, carried an outstanding group
of lone. Lexington, Butter Creek. Eight Mile and Heppner
Citizens east on 1-84 to Baker, then up Powder River to the
S.V.RR, and on to Sumpter before returning to Baker,
moving on to Haines and coming safely home.
The sightseers left Heppner at 7 a.m. and by the time the
coffee-break stop at Emigrant Park came they were plenty
eager to devour the great McCabe doughnuts and super
Jones cinnamon rolls. Then it was on to Bakers Chamber of
Commerce office where everyone was welcomed, enjoyed
the small museum and excellent historical pictures,
gathered brochures and each bus acquired an area auide.
The young man who is vice-president of the Baker County
Historical Society led our buses around town, stopping first
at the lovely, historic Ison House which has now been
beautifully restored and decorated as the Baker office of the
Benjamin Franklin Federal Savings and Loan. The office
manager greeted us, took us through the house and answered
many questions about the restoration. We were each given
pictures and textual material about the house, its historical
background and about its builder, Luther Buford Ison.
Our charming bus guides told us about points of interest as
we traveled. Our second stop was at the home of one of
Baker's most distinguished citizens, the philanthopist Leo
Adler, who so cordially showed us through the home where he
was born 85 years ago and has lived ever since. We were
thrilled to view the honor that was bestowed on him by the
Pope, to see the tremendous, high-backed bed in which Leo
was born and other furnishings and the old portraits In his
1880's home.
Then the busloads were lead ;o the Baker United Methodist
Church where tables were ready for a marvelous noon meal
prepared by the church women among whom are top-notch,
cloud-light biscuit bakers, super beef stew cooks and
creators of grand chocolate cake, jelly, etc. After we ate we
enjoyed a dandy showing of slides of area attractions. Then
some of us walked down the street to view another
tremendous old home which has a lovely garden and unusual
statuary.
Next our buses took us up Powder River past Phillips Lake
to the Sumpter Valley Railroad Depot amidst the acres of
tailings from the gold dredging operation of years past. Bob
Lowe looked like he was in seventh heaven as he climbed into
the little, old Eccles, wood-burning locomotive. Young
Dennis Warren joined Bob and the crew in enjoying the
warmth of the woodfire as the other 45 in our party sat in the
two open-air cars and felt the breezes as we chugged along
backward on the narrow-gage track for several miles to its
ending.
We all were thrilled to learn a little more about the historic
railroad, to be the first group this year to ride behind the
"little engine that could" and still does perform In the lovely
Molly Saul retiring from Extension
valley with such a good view of the Elkhorn Mountains which
are still somewhat snowcovered. .
We learned some about the dedicated volunteers who are
working at the site, building up this historic attraction, giving
thousands of hours of time so that' folks can come there to see
this bit of the lumbering and mining past of northeastern
Oregon. After more picture taking and some rock gathering,
we chugged forward back to the depot. Delpha got ticket No.
1 for the ride - somehow I lucked out with ticket No. 4 which I
shall keep among my souvenirs.
After we left the depot area we bused to Sumpter, passing
more acres of tailings and getting a good view of the old
dredge that still sets where It was abandoned. Sumpter was a
really active mining and lumbering city before It was burned
down in 1917. An enjoyable coffee and rest break there gave
us a chance to learn about that community. I bought several
postcards. An excellent picture card shows the old dredge
and says "this huge piece of equipment took approximately
4, million dollars in gold out of the Sumpter Valley, leaving
behind large piles of rocks and some of the finer gold. The
dredge measures 52 by 120 feet and weighs over 1250 tons." A
second card shows Sumpter as It was before the fire. "The
city never being able to rebuild to its original grandeur has
only recently shown signs of real life again as a peaceful
place for people to live and as a summer recreational area.
Now. however. If the reactivation of the old mines take place,
Sumpter may again really flourish.
The third card I chose shows the Sumpter Valley Railroad
in Its original glory. II is a photo of the little engine, a wood
car, an ail-purpose car and a coach with a little observation
platform at its rear. The back of this card tells "The railroad
was initiated in 1B90 and by 1904 made it to the Tipton
Summit, supplying the stages and frleght wagons with people
and supplies for the greenhorn mining area. David Eccles,
president and founder of the Oregon Lumber Company, is
largely responsible for Its construction, bringing the
company mill vast quantities of logs. But with the decline of
mining and the building of better trucks with which to haul
logs and supplies, the railroad closed In 1947. With recent
interest in our past, a group of people have rebuilt the engine
and laid track thus saving a vital part of the past."
From Sumpter we headed back to Baker where our guide
pointed out the new Federal Building before we left her on
Main Street and progressed along Highway 30 to Haines.
There we visited the Eastern Oregon Museum which
occupies the old school gymnasium. We viewed "One of the
largest collections of relics and Implements used in the
development of the West" at this non-profit corporation-run
attraction which charges no admission, but hopes for visitor
donations. I happen to be prejudiced in favor of our county
museum, but was very impressed with the tremendous
collections. The buggies, sleds and mass of implements were
overwhelming. I walked along with Edna and Harold Peck
through part of it and learned that "Shorty" has been adding
some similar items to his special fairgrounds museum in
Heppner.
While I was viewing the little, old kitchen, a nice, Morrow
gentleman seemed so delighted with the display, and I asked
him if he had also enjoyed the county museum. He shocked
me by saying he hadn't visited It yet. There ought to be a law
requiring every resident here to visit our fine home-county
attractions.
Our tour directors had arranged for dinners at the popular
Haines Steak House. C.C. Jones had personally checked it out
and especially raved about the large pots of beans that were
near the salad bars. Before we left Haines we were siying
that our day had been an "eating tour" as well as a viewing
tour.
At the after-church coffee time next day, I was chatting
about this tour near Sharon Keithley Harrison who told me
that her father Everett had worked on the Sumpter Valley
R.R. when he was a young fellow. She said their whole family
has gone there and enjoyed the short, narrow-gage ride.
Stories of searches and rescues during the last few weeks
have reinforced my feeling that this is a good place to live.
The three girls who had car trouble coming home from Rufus
via Kinzua and other more mature friends who were rescued
last Friday after car trouble made me recall the time my
daughter Ann and I were able to bring Toussent Dubuque
home from the mountains near Spray. Now that I am alone
and could easily get stranded, it is reassuring to know that
people here are so caring and helpful.
Well, this week may not be as exciting as last week, but it
looks full of busy days. My philosophy strongly holds to the
precept that keeping busy is the best way to stay happy.
