C. E. HEDDING

     In the fall of 1894, Bert Bonar was engaged in logging for the mill
company. He was in need of help, and as good fortune would have it along came C.
E. Hedding, who among his friends is known as Ed. He was a fresh arrival from
Illinois, and was willing enough to go to work. He secured a claim a few miles
up the Entiat from the Bonar ranch, and about twenty miles from the Columbia
River. Mountains and dense forest were all around him, but in good time he
changed his claim into a highly productive hay ranch. He was free handed and
generous in donation work to build up the country. In 1903 he was married to
Miss Jerusha White.  He bought the stock of merchandise owned by C. C. King in
the old town, and when the railroad built through, he had a concrete building
ready for business with goods on the shelves.  He quit the store business and
now rents the building. He lives on the hill near town. His mother, Mrs. Darst,
who has been in the country since about the year 1900, lives near him.   Mr. and
Mrs. Hedding have a married daughter, and one in attendance at the University of
California, besides a little boy and girl at home.
