Linda; you might be able to look at the papers at Knight Library so you
wouldn't have to make an expedition east. But if you do't know the time
frame that would be problematic.  I never have much luck with my newspaper
research, I never find things I have specific dates for, and if I have a
whole year to look through it seems like it takes me that long to read it??

A lot of the reason things are slow here is folks are either busy outside
like me or have gone somewhere to escape the heat, or take in events.
Bohemia Days in CG and Ocean Fest here are both calling me, but don't have
time to listen. SIGH!

    Three good placesto look (if you an get there): The Morrow County
Recorders' Office has a lot of original material ranging from tax rolls to
coroners' inquests. Also in Heppner the historical ociety museum has old
newspapers and collections of photographs that are very worthwhile
resources.  Old Circuit Court records have been moved to Salem mosty, with a
few stored at the Umatilla Courthouse in Pendleton.

  Thank you, Roy
  That sounds like a great place to look -- at the old newspapers.
  Now, if I could just figure out when, I'd like to do that.
