W hat’s Your
Opinion
r
During the hot day* of this seventh month of 1985 most of the grain in
Morrow County has been harvested Some ranchers are saying that the
harvest went well and that their crops were somewhat better than they had
exprvted Good' .As usual harvest brought estra helpers to the ranches
some of them family member* who return each year
Those of us who are not very young anymore recall when all harvest Jobs
were dirty, sweaty work My husband Hill used to tell me of the hours he
spent in his youth sewing wheat sacks a job nobody has done for years Now
it seems driving an air conditioned combine is the top job
The passing of years see many changes some like air conditioning are
happy but others are sad The completion of the railroad up W illow Creek
was a wonderful event Just before the beginning of the twentieth century
before there were automobiles or trucks here the O R I N < Oregon Rail
and Navigation i brought the railroad to Heppner Presently the l nion
Pacific is seriously considering discontinuing rail service along its Willow
Creek spur line, along with the spurs into Condon. Pilot Rock and Wallowa
This change can surely hurt our area
Here is a backward look taken from "Yesteryears of Morrow published
by the County Kxtension Units in 1959
• Agitation began in 1887 to secure a branch railroad line (rom the main
line on the Columbia River The spring of nun saw the work t>egun and the
rails reached Heppner on December 7, 188» A day of celebration was held
During the ceremony, Henry Heppner was given the honor of driving the last
spike
This new mode of transportation was a great asset to the whole county
and increased the value of property about fifty perernt The mercantile
businesses in the communities along the line increased their business three
times over the previous yesrs "
*
The historic secount also (ells that by 190») there was a talk about the need
for better roads in the county It seems that one of the first cars in the county
was a 1902 Oldamobile owned by Ben Patterson, Heppner and that the first
