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

for local use. Very little lum over the years. In the early
ber was shipped to outside days, a ranger would do ev-
erything from manual labor
places.
There were very few to attending regional meet
forest fires in the area during ings. 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.
