Who needs fiberglas insulation when you have the Heppner Herald newspaper? Richard Paris of Heppner found an August 7, 1923, issue of the newspaper used for insulation under old linoleum in his house when he was in the process of installing a gas stove. The house, the old Archer house at 315 Waters Street, was built in 1890 and survived the 1903 Heppner flood, says Pans. Pans also found issues of the East Oregonian and the Saturday morning Oregonian newspapers.

St. Patrick's Senior Center Bulletin Board By Claudia Hughes While some items in the Herald were very dated (the death of President Harding, for example), other things don't seem to change—there was a Central Market in Heppner in 1923 and voting on a school tax was just as much an issue back then as it is now.
