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.
