Impressed with County Museum
To the Editor:
This summer we spent some
time in Heppner doing genealogy
research at the courthouse and
the Morrow County Museum. At
the museum, we were greatly
surprised, at the wealth of
information available on the
early pioneers of Morrow County
for researchers. We were pleased
with the knowledgeable staff and
their eagerness to assist people
doing family research.
We were very impressed with
the variety of museum pieces.
Seldom do you find this much
variety and so well displayed in a
small town. The curator o f the
m useum
should
be
complemented on the effort put
forth in caring for all the items.
Morrow County should be proud
of having such a museum.
The county clerk and her staff
(also gave) assistance to me in
the two days I spent doing
research in her office.

Wilma and Wesley Marlatt,
Heppner, were convicted of
bilking
taxpayers
out
of
$176,000 in disability payments,
tax évasion and filing false tax
returns.
Assistant U.S. attorney Allan
Garten said that Wesley Marlatt,
63, managed the family janitorial
business, Marlatt Enterprises,
while he collected disability
payments from a broken back
suffered in 1968.
The Internal Revenue Service
discovered false tax returns
during a routine audit in 1989.
Garten said that the Marlatts then
funneled their home and vehicles
to off-shore accounts, renamed
their business to throw off
regulators
and
declared
themselves tax protesters.
The 1RS alleged that the
Marlatts under-reported their
1988 income by $60,000, their
1989 income by $250,000 and
didn't report any of their 1990
gross receipts of $460,000. The
1RS said that the Marlatts had not
filed tax returns since 1989.
According to the defense
attorney, Wilma Marlatt, 55, and
the Marlatts' adult children ran
the business. The attorney said
that Wesley Marlatt accompanied
them to commercial job sites
because he didn't want to stay
home alone.
The family decided to sell the
business in the late 1980s,
through their friend and fellow
church member, Sid Swindler of
Tri-Cities,
because
Wilma
Marlatt was in poor health. The
defense claimed that Swindler
duped the Marlatts, took some of
their money and left them
exposed
to
government
prosecution.
