Heppner Gazette-Times. Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, June 11,2008 - THREE Community invited to Heppner Ranger District open house continued from page one the Heppner Ranger District o f the Umatilla. It was first established in 1903 with headquarters in Heppner. On July 1, 1908, the Hep pner National Forest was renamed and the Umatilla National Forest was bom. The s u p e rv iso r’s headquarters was moved from Heppner to Pendle ton in 1915 and later the W enaha N ational Forest, Blue M ountain N ational Forest consolidated with the Umatilla. In 1920, the Umatilla became the Uma tilla National Forest with headquarters in Pendleton where it remains today. The first trail built in H eppner was on Bald Mountain in 1908. The first supervisor was D.B. Sheller, follow ed by T hom as E. Chidsey, Hugh Rankin and W.W. Cryder. The grazing fee per head in 1911 was 30 cents for cattle and seven cents for sheep. Early For est Rangers were paid $ 100 month with housing deduct ed from that, plus they had to furnish their own horses and tack. The first roads to be built on the forest were mere wagon trails. The primary purpose o f the roads was to haul wood and fence rails out to the farms for houses and corrals. As more set tlers arrived they worked together to build roads. Several small mills were built in the early years w ith m illions o f feet o f lumber were sawn mostly City Council— continued from page one heard from Bogart about setting up a “sidewalk trust” fund to help homeowners pay for new sidewalks in the city. There is currently $ 10,000 in a fund that could be used for this. Homeown ers could receiv e either low or no interest loans to repair sidewalks in front of their homes. It is the hom eow ner’s responsibility to maintain the sidewalks in front o f their own homes. The council did not take ~~ Arhuckle Ski Area, 1960s Bull Prairie Ranger Station, Bull Prairie Guard House, 1933 for local use. Very little lum over the years.

A typical diary includ the early years, partly due to ing: horseshoeing, painting the fact that few people vis F orest S ervice em blem s ited the mountains and also on sign b o ard s, looking because there was consider over timber sales, helping ably more rainfall during burn cattle that had died, putting out fires, bridge this period. The daily duties o f a building, attending Wool forest ranger have changed Growers meetings, gather action. In other business the council heard a report on the upcoming renovation of the St. Patrick’s Senior Cen ter apartments. “It is slow, but moving along,” Bogart said. He said construction may start in August. The housing authority is current ly discussing how best to move tenants around while construction is on going, and also what to do with all the used fixtures, tubs, etc., that are pulled from the rooms.
