David and April Hilton Sykes, Publishers L LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Deep interest in To the Editor: It was with deep interest that I read your front page story of the old dam and of the air of mystery surrounding its discovery. I remember well the ice ponds of "Uncle Jimmy" J.W. Cowins and son Will. These rather shallow ponds were across Alfalfa Street from the Cowins home and soda pop factory, and in early youth I recall watching in winter time, Mr. Cowins and Will cutting the ice in large blocks, with a cross-cut saw being used in the cutting. This ice was only for refrigeration. The ponds were abandoned when Mother Nature failed too many times to bring prolong ed freezing spells. I never noticed any dam but no doubt there was one of sorts. For many years most of the ice came from the big ice plant at The Dalles. As for the dam of mystery serving electrical purposes, I doubt that very much since electric Weddings Mortimore - H -'J my vi1 f ":' Mr. and Mrs. Roger Mortimore Andrea Jean Campbell and Roger Forrest Mortimore, both of Heppner, were married Sept. 12 at the United Methodist Church of Heppner with the Rev. Mike Sheridan officiating. Don Slinkard, Prineville, was soloist, with Carley Drake, of Heppner, at the organ. Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a long white gown of lace over taffeta. Her finger tip illusion veil was trimmed in lace. She carried a cascading bouquet of yellow baby roses, white mini-carnations, white daisies and baby's breath. Karen Cossitt, Fossil, sister of the groom was matron of honor. Bridesmaids were Annette Williamson, Tulare, Calif., cousin of the bride; and LuAnn Pike, Portland Tammy Nicklas, Terrebone ; cousin of the bride was flower girl; with Billy Mortimore, Fossil, nephew of the groom as ringbearer. Russell Johns, Pendleton, was best man. Ushers were Earl Mortimore, Terrebone, brother of the groom and Rick Paullus, Hermiston. : ,: - Following a wedding trip to the coast, the couple are at home in Heppner, where the groom to employed by Evan, Land and Cattle Co. and the bride is employed by Gardner's Men's Wear. Weddina Announcements Carlson - Morten Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Morten of Pendleton announce the ' forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Kathryn J.Morten to Philip John Carlson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Carlson of lone. The wedding will be Sat., Oct. 17, 2 p.m. at the First Christian Church in Pendleton. A reception will follow. All friends and relatives are cordially invited to attend. dam story light did not come to Heppner until well into circa 1900's. Early street lights, along Main Stree, were arc lights. For home lighting kerosene oil lamps were used as a general utility. So if this old dam was built in 1891 it could not have been for the production of electric power, which came many years later, from steam generated power produced by the burning of slab wood. From the facts in hand, this old dam was built on the Neville farm to divert water into the historic old mill race to turn the grist wheels in the Heppner Flour Mill, located on the water's edge on North Court Street. The mill race did its work well until the mill finally went out of business somewhere around 1920. The last time I was in Heppner, (1976) I noted parts of the old race still clinging in place around the rim rocks. Art Crawford, San Jose, Calif.
