MORROW COUNTY PIONEERS HAVE EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATION
The Morrow County Pioneer's Association Was Formed Last September - Pioneer's Day Will be Held During Fair Week This Year.

     During the First annual fair held in Heppner last September, the Morrow County Pioneer Association was formed.  This pioneer or home-coming feature was stressed a great deal at the time and on Pioneer's Day Judge Stephen A. Lowell of Pendleton delivered a masterly address in which he praised the builders of this Western Empire.  He aroused a lot of enthusiasm and as a result a strong association was formed.
     Since this time, however, there seems to have been little done, and it is now time that our people were becoming interested  and getting ready for the fall celebration.  The date of the Morrow County Fair will be the 17th, 18th and 19th of September.  This is not far away and in order to make a success of Pioneer's Day, steps should be taken at once to prepare for it.  A splendid celebration can be had and it is due our pioneers and old people to give them just the very best time possible and establish this as one of the best features of our splendid fair.
     We give here a full list of the pioneers of the county, taken from the roster in the hands of Secretary J.L. Yeager.  This shows the year when they located in the territory now included in Morrow County:
