GREETINGS
The Hermiston Herald salutes its
leaders today with its thirty year
anniversary edition.
The publishers have endeavored
to record the story of what has been
done to construct modern commun
ities from desert conditions during
the past three decades.
As a background of this develop
ment we have also given the early
history of Umatilla, Echo and But-
ter Creek, and pioneers of the west,
All now belong to one community
which has been segregated by natur-
al conditions and united by a com.
mon interest.
We believe that this common
knowledge of each others’ history
and efforts and purposes will fur
ther unite all these communities in
a sincere endeavor toward the
achievement of their greater destiny.
This edition will be sent, not on
ly to its regular subscribers but to
all registered voters in Holdman.
Union, Echo. Stanfield, Hermiston,
Umatilla and Lena precincts in Uma

As this thirty year anniversary
edition goes to press we have a feel
ing of pride in its accomplishment,
not alone in our own efforts but
through the assistance of many peo
ple and organizations who furnished
us with information and pictures.

Without the assistance of E. p.
Dodd, former newspaper man and
one of the first settlers of the pro
ject, we would not have been able
to compile all the information found
in this anniversary edition. Mr. Dodd
has worked diligently and with un
failing interest in making this edi
tion a success. His interest in the
public welfare is again manifested,
and we are deeply indebted to him
for any success this edition attains.
We extend our appreciation to Mr.
and Mrs. C. G. Blayden of Board-
man; to Mr. and Mrs. A. E. McFar
land of Umatilla; to F. A. Baker of
Stanfield, and also Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Sloan; and to all local citi
zens who assisted us in gathering in
formation by contributing their
time and interest.
The East Oregonian at Pendleton
has been generous in its courtesy
by loaning us many cuts of Umatilla
county pioneers and of scenes taken
on the Hermiston project. To them
we extend our thanks.
Among the individuals who have
furnished us with pictures used in
this issue are Mr. and Mrs. Levi
Reeder, F. B. Swayze, E. P. Dodd of
Hermiston; W. A. Jones of Echo:
