Notes for NICHOLAS LAFAYETTE DRUMHELLER:
That Magical Name "Drumheller"
by Reba Perry Blakely
What is more exciting than to pay tribute to a horse family whose impact upon racing can track back two hundred and twenty-four years, even pre-dating this Bicentennial! And their name was Drumheller, [a name] well documented in the archives of international horse racing. For they did race in Tijuana, Mexico, in the Dominion of Canada and throughout America.
What is even more relevant to King County and Longacres Race Course at Renton is the fact that through the fine and delicate "nudging" of George J. Drumheller and his son Allen, Longacres was given a helping hand and their capable assistance to the late Joe Gottstein was instrumental in creating Longacres in 1933. Allen Drumheller, Sr. of Walla Walla was a member of the first Washington State Horse Racing Commission and was also highly successful as a horse breeder and owner, but won most of his recognition as a conditioner of horses for other owners. At one time, Allen Drumheller trained Bold Bazooka for the comedian Lou Costello and the runner was California’s top two-year-old of the season.
Since that time the magical name of Drumheller has momentarily vanished from horse racing – a condition that shall always be subject to change. Who knows what the future will bring and possibly within another decade some Drumheller may hear the whisperings of their ancestors now long departed [which unfortunately has not been the case], such as Dewalt Drumheller who first settled on patented land in Rockland Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania in 1752, and return to the Sport of Kings (or is it Queens!) – horse racing!
Helen Cabell Self, an expert author, horsewoman and educator wrote a fine book, many in fact, upon the art of horsemanship, training and conditioning and it was she who wrote "When those first Hollanders arrived in what is now the State of Pennsylvania they brought with them those sturdy, small horses who later crossed with English Thoroughbreds became foundation stock for some of America’s first Quarter Horses."
This information bears even closer study, for in the early part of the 1800s there were three Drumhellers whose impact upon horse racing, livestock ranching and later the Thoroughbred industry in our Pacific northwest was invaluable! Thomas Drumheller, 1827, later settled at or near Petaluma, California, first and then came to Spokane in 1847. He was followed by his brother Jesse, who located in the Oregon Territory in 1852 and later moved to Walla Walla in 1854. Still a third brother, Daniel M. Drumheller, followed his two other brothers and arrived in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. In 1861, he became one of the first cattlemen to drive beef on the hoof up the Caribou of the upper Okanogan Basin to the miners of Canada. Pertinent to this material is the fact that "Uncle" Daniel, who later settled in Spokane in 1880, rode the first so-called documented "Quarter Horse" mare into the Oregon Territory.
The story goes something like this. "Old Arch was a red and white pinto mare he rode for 2,000 miles and who he loved until his death. She never lost an ounce of flesh on that memorable journey." So she must have been a descendant of those sturdy horses first imported to America during the era of 1752 when the Dutch settled in Pennsylvania.
Closely examining the background of these particular Drumheller brothers, Thomas, Jessie and Daniel M., it becomes impressive how much so few gave to so many in our Pacific northwest and Canada, with respect to ranching, livestock production and the mining industry. Samuel Drumheller [a son of Jessie who discovered] coal and [which led to the development of] the town site of Drumheller in Alberta in 1910.
Upon Daniel M. Drumheller’s return from California, he helped transport meat to the miners in both the Caribou and later up the Chilicoot Trail to Alaska. He became active in the Oregon State Legislature and no doubt was instrumental in helping Oregon found its first fair at Oregon City in 1861. That exhibit later was moved to Salem and there became the Oregon State Fair in 1863. Horse racing was part and parcel of that very first county fair effort, and just for the novelty of it, Oswald West (from his Famous Horses and the Pioneer Period) names some of those animals in 1870: Lacelles Greyhound, Rexfords Buckskin Bill, Bakers Whitestockings, Thorps Jim (was this the F. M. Thorp of Ellensburg? Chances are it was indeed!); also Baskett’s Dixie, Scoggins Jack and Minnie Miner.
In 1869, William Bigham, who later settled on Crab Creek in Grant County, as well as T. B. Hoover and J. C. Chambers, settled at or near Fossil, Oregon. It is their history that established the first registered Thoroughbreds brought into the Pacific northwest by the pioneers.
All of this history was and is linked to Daniel M. Drumheller. When he moved to Spokane in 1880 he became engaged in both mining and transportation and later became mayor of Spokane. He was a most avid booster in that city. He served in many other civic capacities and consequently more or less removed himself from active participation in the Thoroughbred world.
His brother Jessie Drumheller, who continued to live in Walla Walla. married Martha Maxson around 1860 and raised the family who is still most actively linked directly to the Thoroughbred industry. It was his son, George J. Drumheller, who did enter into horse racing before 1900 and was active in the field until he sold out in 1934 to Mrs. Gladys Edris [wife of William Edris, Joseph Gottstein’s friend and business partner for whom the famous Washington racehorse Sidre – Edris spelled backwards – was named.] of the Elttaes Stables of Seattle.
George J. Drumheller led almost a charmed existence in both horse racing, fairs and the wild west world, that later fostered contemporary rodeo. What led him into this field of outdoor spectator sports was no doubt influenced by the opening of the Walla Walla Fair in 1866, which was right in his domain. Later when his son Allen started growing into his teens he became enamored of the wild west, for less than 45 miles away the fabled Pendleton Round-up came into being in 1910.
George, an affluent grain farmer, and his cousin, Tom Drumheller of Ephrata, now a prominent rancher and sheep man in this period of 1910, enjoyed competing [with] their animals and their [ranch] hands against neighboring ranchers. Neighborhood competition was the name of the game at first. Community fairs and rodeos were engaged in by those first pioneering families where [the] horse or mule was still king; because all the ranch work was performed by these animals. It was said of George J. Drumheller that "he farmed 5,000 acres of wheat with 500 mules . . ." This record is amply documented in our state archives.
When George’s children started growing up, first Allen, then a daughter Jessie, and still a second son Dewey, [they] were all active, healthy and daring youngsters who constantly rode horseback to school and later entered into rodeo competition in men’s and women’s relay and pony express racing, both at the Walla Walla Fair and the Pendleton Round-up.
Their father purchased excellent short distance horses for them and hired trainers to school the animals and drill these energetic children on the fine arts of horsemanship. Further instilling in them the desire to excel and to practice good horsemanship, they became the best of their age group. This encouragement possibly was part of the character building for his children . . . Allen, Jessie and Dewey enjoyed the thrilling excitement generated by riding in competition against world famous performers of the likes of Lucile Mulhall and her troupe from Mulhall, Oklahoma. They had heard that she was called "America’s First Cowgirl" and they of course had read of her and her father, Colonel Zack Mulhall, who was one of Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders. Lucile Mulhall was also a world champion steer roper against all comers. These were the type of professionals performing at the first Pendleton, Oregon, round-up. Also entered was the C. B. (Charles Burton) Irwin family with his trio of world champion relay and competing cowgirl daughters Joella, Pauline and Frances [who later married Mannie Keller and trained two Longacres Mile winners] from Meriden, Wyoming. The Irwins’ history was also outstanding and most impressive. C. B. Irwin was a member of the Union Pacific employee system, later becoming a director and their livestock agent form his office in Cheyenne. [Later Irwin would serve as a mentor to none other than National and Washington Hall of Famer trainer Tom Smith, of Seabiscuit fame.]
Instead of the Drumheller family staying within their own bailiwick, they were urged on by and became inspired by the magnitude of fame and excitement of those first wild west families, which included the Irwins and Mulhalls. This was all taking place beginning in 1893 when wild west [shows were] coupled with horse racing being staged in communities throughout America and Canada.
For those wishing to enlarge into active Thoroughbred breeding, all the activity helped to train race horses and learn which animals were speedy enough to race on the large race courses in the midwest and on the Atlantic seaboard. It was also without parallel the finest field of all to train outstanding jockeys who first learned their fundamentals at these smaller tracks. This was necessary for good reason – there just were not that many race courses in the far west.
California did start racing horses at their first state fair in Sacramento in 1854 and thereafter a number of other tracks opened up. But so flagrant was the unethical activity behind the scenes in early California horse racing at first and after 1900, that many large and affluent Thoroughbred owners and trainers dropped out of horse racing there or returned to the midwest and to the east where racing was conducted upon more rigid rules and regulations.
It wasn’t until the fairs in the far west and Pacific northwest started holding race meets during their dates that horse racing in general got off to a healthy start in Washington State.
It was at these fairs [that] Allen Drumheller, his close boyhood chum Darrell Cannon [future trainer of Joe Gottstein’s Longacres Mile winners Kings Favor and Steel Blade] and sister Jessie Drumheller gained excellent training and great fame in the relay and pony express world. George J. Drumheller acquired a fine string of top rated bucking horses, plus a formidable racing string. Many were trained as relay mounts when this daring and innovative family entered rodeo and wild west [shows] in earnest.
The Drumhellers staged the first great rodeo held at the opening of the 1912 Tacoma Stadium, a coliseum that gained historic attention because of its setting. The structure, right out on the Narrows of Puget Sound, and the excellence of its very first program, which included a world championship rodeo staged in part by the George J. Drumheller family of Walla Walla. Still within that same summer this dynamic wild west family and racing empire went on to the first Calgary Stampede (1912), where Allen Drumheller won the cowboys bronc riding championship for the Pacific northwest and Canada.
From 1913 through 1916, the Drumhellers also staged the first Walla Walla Stampede and then went on to stage rodeos at the 1915 Seattle Stampede held at the old Meadows race track [near Renton]. They continued to Cheyenne, Wyoming; Missoula and Billings, Montana; the War Bonnet Rodeo at Idaho Falls, Idaho; and to a great many other fairs and rodeos held annually in the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, as well as Canada.
Very drastically, a world war was brewing all through this period (1910-1917), and of course, as history records it, war broke out in 1917 and America was in it! Many [rodeo] performers did their stint for Uncle Sam.
Allen Drumheller and his sister Jessie both dropped out of rodeo to a degree, but Allen established a record in the men’s pony express in 1926 at the Spokane Fair that was never erased or defeated.
Jessie then married Darrell Cannon and moved to California. This marriage was later dissolved and she moved to Salem, Oregon.
Allen Drumheller, from the mid-1920s onward and up until 1957, was one of America’s most legendary horse conditioners. His was a most fashionable stable of select owners and fabulous racing animals. Horses that he developed and took to their fame came from a horse racing career that brought international acclaim to the "The Cowboy from Walla Walla, Washington" and to the name . . . Drumheller!

JESSE DRUMHELLER.
Jesse Drumheller, deceased, an honored pioneer of the west of 1852, was during the remainder of his life a prominent factor in the advancement of the business interests and development of this section of the country. Widely known, his life history cannot fail to prove of interest to the many friends who still cherish his memory, and it is therefore with pleasure that we present this record of his career to our readers. His birth occurred in Tennessee in 1835. There the first eight years of his life were passed, after which he accompanied his parents on their removal to Missouri, the family home being established near Springfield, where he remained until 1851. He then located near Savannah, Missouri, where he remained for a year, and in 1852 he heard and headed the call of the west. He started out across the plains with ox teams for Washington and located in Cowlitz county, where he turned his attention to the lumber business. Soon afterward he removed to California, where for several years he engaged in mining, and in 1855 he became a resident of Oregon. There he joined the Oregon Volunteers for service in the Indian war and was sent to Walla Walla. During the eleven months in which he was a part of that command he participated in several severe engagements with the red men and aided in winning the victory which crowned the arms of the white troops. After the cessation of hostilities he entered the employ of the United States government and assisted in building the government posts at The Dalles, at Walla Walla, at Colville and at Simcoe. His activities thus became an important factor in the development of this section of the country. In 1859 he took up his abode on land two miles south of Walla Walla and turned his attention to stock raising and general farming, a business which he followed until about 1900. In this he prospered and from time to time added to his holdings until his landed possessions aggregated nearly six thousand acres. He thus carried on farming most extensively and in 1899 his crop of wheat amounted to about sixty-five thousand bushels. He followed the most progressive methods in the development of his land and stood at all times as one of the most enterprising and representative farmers of the northwest. He also carried on stock raising with success and his diligence and determination brought him prominently to the front in connection with the line of his chosen occupation.
On the 9th of October, 1863, in Walla Walla, Mr. Drumheller was united in marriage to Miss Martha A. Maxson, a pioneer of 1859. They became the parents of five sons: Samuel, of Calgary, Alberta; Oscar; George, a stockraiser of Walla Walla; Thomas J., who is engaged in the hardware business with his older brother, Oscar, they being members of the well known firm of Drumheller & Company, dealers in hardware, furniture and crockery; and R.M., collector of customs at Seattle.
Jesse Drumheller was a member of the Masonic fraternity, holding membership in the lodge and in the chapter. His death occurred on December 2, 1907. He stood in the front rank among those who have planted civilization in the northwest and was particularly active in the growth of Walla Walla county, where for many years he made his home, and his labors were of a nature that contributed in marked measure to the substantial and moral development and upbuilding of this section of the country. He was a progressive business man, wide-awake, alert and energetic, and carried forward to successful completion whatever he undertook. While his business interests became very extensive and important, he always found time to cooperate in plans and measures for the public good and was a most loyal and devoted citizen from the time when he aided in subduing the Indian uprising, through the period of later development and progress up to the time when death called him to the home beyond.

ALLEN DRUMHELLER
The Thoroughbred industry in Washington State has been blessed with many out-standing individuals, both people and horses. Nine horsemen and three horses were honored during the inaugural Washington Racing Hall of Fame gala dinner in September. In last month’s issue, we gave you a brief biography of these outstanding individuals, but felt that each one’s story and accomplishments deemed an in-depth profile. This month we will begin with what is to be a continuing series on Washington Racing Hall of Fame recipients, a story on the "Wizard of Walla Walla," Allen Drumheller. We hope you find these profiles as fascinating and inspiring as we did.
When you think of the uniquely named southeastern Washington town of Walla Walla, some of the first things that come to mind are endless wheat fields, those wonderful Walla Walla sweet onions and the infamous Whitman massacre, but at one time Walla Walla was also the home of Washington’s leading Thoroughbred farm, family and a nationally respected Thoroughbred trainer; all by the name of Drumheller.
The Walla Walla Birthright of Washington Thoroughbred Breeding
Born in Tennessee in 1835, Jesse Drumheller, then 17, first arrived in Walla Walla in 1852 with the Ezra Meeker wagon train. It was during this time period that the Washington Territorial Legislature had begun creating new counties out of the 110,000 square miles that they had earlier (in 1854) set aside from Skamania County and christened Walla Walla County. (Walla Walla County was one of the first areas in the region between the Cascade and Rocky Mountains to be permanently settled.) Jesse married fellow pioneer Martha Maxson in 1859 and they had six sons and one daughter. He and his sons would later found the Drumheller Company, which retailed hardware and agricultural supplies. Meanwhile, he kept adding to his land, until he had almost 6,000 acres. He was noted for his progressive methods in both farming and livestock raising.
Among his sons were Oscar and Thomas, who would run the family store; Samuel, who would travel with a herd of cattle to Alberta’s Red Deer Valley, discover coal and later have the eventual settlement named after him – after winning that honor in a supposed coin toss; and George (1874-1945), who followed his father in becoming one of the pioneer wheat growers in Washington with a farm of 1,050 acres. Walla Walla’s Drumheller Building, built about 1910, stands to this day.
George and his wife Lillian had three sons, Allen, Dewey and Earl, and daughter Jessie. The community-minded Lillian is remembered for her profound influence on the growth of Walla Walla in its early days and especially "for the campaign that brought a YMCA to Walla Walla" in 1911.
In addition to wheat, George began to seriously dabble into "what, in the twenties, was most certainly an obscure business in this state" – Thoroughbred racing. By the time of his death, George was deemed "the father of Thoroughbred horse racing" in Washington. He was considered the leading Washington horseman of his day, after "spending thousands of dollars for Kentucky bloodstock and racing stock" and was the state’s leading breeder by earnings from 1935 through 1940. Among his best horses were My Reverie, Bonnie Omar, Blarney Stone, Pat, Linden Tree and Glad Mart. When Longacres opened in 1933, Drumheller Ranch was the largest Thoroughbred breeding operation among the eight that existed in the state. Drumheller was also one of the original sponsors of Washington State House Bill 59, which once again allowed horse racing back into the Evergreen State. His son Allen, soon to become one of the nation’s most respected trainers, was one of the state’s original racing commissioners.
From the Rodeo to the Racetrack
Born in 1894, Allen followed his father into the business of breeding Thoroughbred horses in 1925. He had been a relay and bronco rider at the age of 14. "A fast-tempered and thrill bound youth," the young Drumheller turned from studies at Whitman College to an early career with the rodeo where he later became a champion rodeo performer. One of his companions was world record holding relay rider and 1921 Pendleton All-around Rodeo Champion Darrell Cannon, who went on to train Longacres Mile winners Kings Favor and Steel Blade for Joe Gottstein’s Elttaes Stable in the late 1960s.
While Allen Drumheller is being honored with induction into the inaugural Washington Racing Hall of Fame due to his record as a trainer, he and his father could have just as easily been honored for their many contributions to the state’s fledgling breeding industry.
Breeder First
In 1922, Allen’s father George had made his first serious foray into the breeding business when he brought Gladiator, a 1917 son of Superman who had won the Toboggan Handicap as a four-year-old, from New Orleans to stand in Washington. Gladiator’s best son was 1941 Longacres Mile winner Campus Fusser (bred and trained by Allen), the first Washington-bred to take the Longacres Mile. In the early 1930s, George added the Black Toney stallion Black Forest (1928), who sired Georgie Drum, named in honor of Allen’s son George. At five, Georgie Drum "won the Stars and Stripes Handicap beating Equifox, *Rounders, Pensive [winner of the 1944 Kentucky Derby], War Knight and four others, earning $41,000 – it was the richest stakes ever won by a Washington-bred horse and in it he whipped the best lot of horses a Washington-bred was ever pitted against – his earnings after this stakes were $61,000, a suitable reward for the patience exercised by his owner, breeder and trainer Allen Drumheller…" Fort Churchill, a 1917-foaled son of *Honeywood, was another stallion roster addition. While he was originally "acquired and used exclusively as a stock horse sire, the demand in the area being for range work horses of size and early speed. The Fort Churchills began to show such zip in ranch races and rodeo relays the big horse was tried on Thoroughbreds." Among his successful offspring was Prince Ernest, winner of the 1945 Longacres Mile.
Allen Drumheller only bred a total of 34 Thoroughbreds, all during the 19-year period between 1933 to 1952. All but one of them started. The lone unraced Campus Star went on to produce 1948 Washington Futurity winner Lucille Angel. An amazing 30 (88 percent from foals) returned to the winner’s circle. By the time of his death in 1955, they had recorded 273 wins among 1,777 starts and earned $583,234, for an incredible average of $17,673 per runner. To put this in some sort of perspective, in 1955, the average earnings for a Washington-bred runner during that year was $1,180 and the 25th highest earning Washington-bred on the all time leading list had won just under $25,000!
Allen Drumheller was the very first Washington breeder to go over the half-million mark in earnings. The previously mentioned Lucille Angel was responsible for her breeder hitting that milestone. It happened on March 2, 1952, when she won the eighth race on the Agua Caliente card.
To show the influence that Allen Drumheller-bred horses had during Washington’s early modern (post Longacres’ opening) racing days, you only need look at the list of leading Washington-bred earners through the 1955 race season. Of the 25 horses listed, the top three – Hank H., Sirde and Georgie Drum were all bred by Allen Drumheller, as well as two others on the list!
Sirde, a 1941-foaled son of *Mio d’Arezzo was the first Washington-bred to hit the $100,000 mark. He hit that pinnacle after winning a Santa Anita overnight handicap as a five-year-old. Sirde, which is Edris spelled backwards, was named to honor Joe Gottstein’s partner and friend William Edris. Among Sirde’s stakes placements was a third in the 1945 Hollywood Gold Cup to Challenge Me, who he had previously defeated in the San Carlos Handicap.
Router Hank H., "a gangling, rip snorter from the Walla Walla wheat fields" was named in honor of the Drumhellers’ longtime ranch foreman Henry Heinrich. The 1943 son of Black Forest became the state’s second $100,000 winner. Hank H. passed Sirde as the all time leading Washington-bred earner when he won a seven furlong dash at Hollywood Park on July 13, 1951. By coincidence, the following day Calumet Farm’s great Citation won the Hollywood Gold Cup to become racing’s first millionaire. By the time of his retirement, Hank H. was Washington’s leading earner with 26 victories among his 69 starts and $130,700 in money won.
A 1952 article in The Washington Horse states: "The wide swatch [Allen] Drumheller has cut as breeder of Washington-breds can be no better emphasized than by pointing out that he has bred one-twentieth of the year starters since 1935 and has accumulated one fifth of all monies won by local Thoroughbreds."
Allen bettered his father’s record of six times as Washington’s leading breeder by leading the list eight years, 1941 and 1943-1949. He finished second on the list in 1942 and 1951, was third in 1938 (with earnings of $4,335), 1940 and 1950, and was fourth from 1952-1953. He had his best year in 1944 when his five winners, from seven runners, won 13 races and earned $80,065.
A "Conditioner" Par Excellence
By the time 1952 rolled around, Allen had bred his final Thoroughbred, a colt named Spookaloo, who was sired by the last of the Drumheller stallions, Conformity, a 1946 son of His Grace.
"Drumheller has been the most successful breeder in the history of Washington turf annals. There is simply no telling to what heights he would have gone in the breeding field if he had devoted his full attention to that endeavor. As it turned out he was equally or more successful as a trainer and found it more advantageous to follow that pursuit."
Allen’s name was first recorded in the Longacres record books as an owner, when his Triplane, a three-year-old son of Whichone who he had claimed for $3,000 at Santa Anita the previous winter, won a Seabiscuit-less 1938 Longacres Mile. Seabiscuit had been assigned a record 142 pounds for the fourth running of the Mile, but trainer Tom Smith had elected to leave his champion charge in California. With fellow Washington Racing Hall of Fame inductee Ralph Neves aboard, Triplane came home by one length over Klister. William Boeing’s race favorite Gleeman, who had previously defeated the mighty Charles S. Howard runner, finished less than a length back in fourth. It marked the first victory in the Mile for a Washington owner. Drumheller had had a runner in the 1936 Mile, but Plucky Jack could do no better than sixth.
Allen Drumheller was both the owner, and trainer of record when the Drumheller-bred Hank H. won the 1947 edition of the Mile. The Drumheller triple could have been achieved six years earlier if Allen hadn’t sold his Washington Futurity winner Campus Fusser to Mrs. B. N. Hutchinson prior to the 1941 Mile. Campus Fusser beat entrymate Wee Toney by 3 1/2 lengths, equaling the track record of 1:35 3/5. After the Mile, the winning trainer proclaimed, "I guess I made a mistake. I knew the horse was good, but I really didn’t think he was that good."
Campus Fusser and Hank H. were half-brothers, both offspring of the stellar producer Campus Queen, the only mare in race history to produce two separate winners of Joe Gottstein’s spectacular. Hank H. is also one of only three runners to win both the Gottstein (Washington) Futurity and Longacres Mile and was the first horse to take back-to-back runnings of the Washington Championship (now Washing- ton Cup Classic) Stakes.
Drumheller saddled his second consecutive Mile winner in 1942, when B. N. Hutchinson’s California-bred Lavengro won the northwest racing jewel by two lengths. Five years earlier, Lavengro, then two, had been the best runner of his generation, even defeating 1938 Kentucky Derby winner Lawrin. The first dual winner of the Longacres Mile was Amble In. The son of Fighting Fox had won the 11th renewal in 1946 under the stewardship of Francis Keller, the only woman to train two Mile winners. Two years later, Amble In gave Allen Drumheller his fourth Longacres Mile winner as trainer when the five-year-old gelding took the race by a neck over his entrymate Minstrel Boy, who finished two lengths to the fore of fellow Drumheller trainee and 1947 Mile winner Hank H. (Drumheller’s final entry of the four, the filly War Moment, who had served a role as a rabbit in the race, finished last in the field of 10). The last previous sweep by an entry in an American stakes race had been the 1947 Washington Park Futurity, when Calumet Farm runners Bewitch, Citation and Free America had finished in that order. Drumheller’s record of four Mile winners has never been broken and it wasn’t until 2002 when fellow Washington Hall of Fame trainer Jim Penney, a member of another Washington pioneer family, equaled his win record with Sabertooth.
Though the Drumheller runners frequently made the trip up and down the west coast, they were also successful in Chicago, as attested by Georgie Drum’s victories in the Sheridan, Stars and Stripes and Emerson F. Woodward Memorial handicaps.
During Bay Meadows spring opening day of 1951, Drumheller and rider Johnny Longden won three races. It was noted that the "‘Play Drumheller’ customers grow more ardent as the days passed." He was the leading trainer at the 1955 Hollywood Park meet, when he trained 32 winners. It was during that same meeting that he sent out five horses one day and came home with five winners. He also led the Longacres trainer standings in 1948.
From 1948 through 1955, Drumheller was listed among the top 30 trainers by earnings nationally. He was ranked seventh in 1953 when he had 84 wins and earnings of $319,950. Even with his premature death in 1955, his runners had given him 83 wins and earnings of $453,582 during the nine months they ran in his name, to again rank seventh in earnings, and sixth in number of wins.
When Allen Drumheller died of a heart attack on October 1, 1955 at the age of 61, he was considered one of the most prominent trainers in the country. It was noted that he actually preferred the title conditioner, rather than trainer. At the time of his death, Drumheller was serving as a director of the California division of the HBPA and was ranked fourth in the national training standings.
"Drumheller was one of the most respected men in his profession, his wise and temperate counsel invariably being asked."
His large public stable of 40 horses included the 1955 two-year-old sensation Bold Bazooka, who was owned by comedian/actor Lou Costello, and Hollywood Park three-year-old of the meeting Baby Alice. Among his other topnotch stakes horses were Spanish Cream, Special Touch, Manyunk and *Guerrero. Earlier on the day of his demise, his son Allen, Jr. had saddled Mr. Sullivan to victory in the San Jose Handicap at Bay Meadows.
The late Clio Hogan, longtime editor of The Washington Horse, wrote in his editorial following Drumheller’s death the following illuminating phrases.
"The news of the death of Allen Drumheller, Sr. shocked and saddened every person connected with racing in the State of Washington. Of course, this was a natural reaction to all those who knew him, for he was a loved and respected man. But it was more than that, it was more than the passing of a man – a person – it was the loss of a symbol, which spelled an ideal.
"The name Allen Drumheller, or Drum-heller father and son, was synonymous with success in the breeding field in Washington. Here was a man who bred but 34 horses over a span of 19 years, less than two horses per year, yet was the primary force in putting Washington breeding on the map.
"How did he do it? We have better bloodlines in the state today than Allen had at hand and yet there has been no Hank H., no Sirde, nor a Georgie Drum in the last decade. Why? The answer came to light when he turned his full efforts to ‘conditioning’ Thoroughbreds. He quickly proved he was a master, in all its meaning, in that field. He was such a master that any horse coming under his care, which had a spark of greatness, was made great.
"He may not have been years ahead in bloodlines, but he was 25 years ahead in conditioning and therein he leaves behind him a great lesson to fellow horsemen in the State of Washington or elsewhere."

An illustrated history of Walla Walla County, state of Washington, 1901, page 333
JESSE DRUMHELLER, a pioneer of 1852, was born in Tennessee, in 1835, and there the first eight years of his life were passed. He then went with his parents to Missouri, locating near Springfield, where he lived until 1851. For about a year afterwards he resided in Savannah, Missouri, but in 1852 he set out across the plains to Washington with ox-teams. He located in Cowlitz county, and turned his attention to the lumber industry, but soon moved to California, where for several years he followed mining. In 1855 he came to Oregon, joined the Oregon volunteers and was sent to Walla Walla. During his eleven months' service he participated in several severe engagements with the Indians.
After the cessation of hostilities Mr. Drumheller entered the service of the United States government, and assisted in building the government posts at The Dalles, Walla Walla, Colville and Simcoe. In 1859 he located on land two miles south of the city of Walla Walla, and embarked in stock raising and general farming, a business which has engaged his energies ever since until quite recently. Being an active, enterprising and progressive man, of the wealthiest and most influential farmers of the county. He is the owner of nearly six thousand acres of land, and in 1899 his crop of wheat amounted to about sixty-five thousand bushels. Mr. Drumheller's fraternal connection is with the Masonic order, Blue Mountain Lodge, No. 13, and the Royal Arch. He was married in WAlla Walla, October 8, 1863, to Martha A. Maxson, a pioneer of 1859. They have six living children: Samuel, a farmer; Oscar and Thomas J., hardware merchants; George, a farmer and stockman; Althea and Roscoe M.
Mr. Drumheller has taken up his residence in Walla Walla city, where we now find him living a retired life and enjoying the fruits of his well-deserved success.

<6> The Drurnhellers are an old Walla Walla family. Jesse, the founder, arrived with the Ezra Meeker train in 1852, when he was seventeen. His son Oscar farmed until 1900, and then leased his acreage, as Bergsagel suggests. In the same year, Oscar, his brother Jesse, and his father founded the Drumheller Company in Walla Walla, which retailed hardware and agricultural supplies.

A Portrait of Martha
Pioneer woman helped shape area’s history
Editor’s note: The author of this sensitive and sentimental article about a pioneer Walla Walla woman is by her granddaughter, Marion Johnson of Richland. Mrs. Johnson’s parents were the late Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Drumheller of Walla Walla.
By Marion Johnson
City streets may meet the sky or run down to the sea. They may dwell perpetually in shadow or be parched by the constant desert sun. In the town where I grew up, the tree-lined streets led to the gently rolling wheat fields that reach out to touch the beautiful Blue Mountains. On such a street, named Park Street, Martha lived.
Alone, in a large white house, this frail small woman was ably cared for by a man and wife who served as gardener-chauffeur and housekeeper. She was a gentle and serene person, much loved. Twinkling eyes beneath a broad forehead were framed by snow-white hair. Long before it was the vogue, she wore her hair cut short, and a natural fluffiness softened it about her face. On outings there was always something soft around her neck – a ruff of black ostrich feathers or of gray net. She rode here and there in her long black car, eschewing the small electric vehicles so popular in her time.
She was a pioneer woman, the daughter of Pioneers who came west in 1859, when she was 14 years old.
She married a strong, blackbearded man who had traveled by wagon train across the plains to Oregon, in 1852. There is a story that he, lacking transportation, tied his clothes on his back and swan across the Columbia. When I look at that wide river, I wonder if this is true. Certainly he found a fertile valley, watered by many streams and small rivers. It was there he settled, there he met and married Martha.
In this fresh sweet Walla Walla Valley, they made their home. Their heritage was America. Martha Maxson’s ancestors sailed from England to a new land, reaching Boston in the year 1634, going, four years later, to Rhode Island, where they were among that state’s earliest settlers. Martha’s husband was Jesse Drumheller. His father, a Virginian patriotically named Nicholas Lafayette Drumheller, left his native Monticello to build a cotton gin for a Tennessee plantation owner and tarried there to wed the planter’s daughter, Lisa Hollis Nicholas and Lisa moved to Missouri and it was in this Missouri home that Jesse said good-by to his widowed mother, to his brothers, and to his sisters. He was only 16 when he took the dangerous trail west.
He was a gruff, mature man when he married his lovely Martha. They raised strong sons; handsome, fun-loving youths, superb horsemen, who grew into serious, hard-working men. These brothers were a unit, working together, yet each had his own business or vocation. Speaking of them, a 1954 Union-Bulletin editorial headed "They Made History" said, "Each of the brothers left a substantial contribution to the betterment and upbuilding of the community and state…
Jesse, replete with things accomplished, died. He had truned over the management of his stock raising and wheat farming interests to his sons – there was not a black sheep among them. He had nothing more vital to do than walking in the shade, his pockets filled with dimes that he gave to every child he met. Even they did not need them, not in this prosperous pioneer town.
Here the sons and their families lived. Every Sunday afternoon found the entire group in the home on Park Street. In the hall, with a stairway for dramatic entrance, and a closet underneath the stairs filled with delightful props, the children made up plays and acted in them. The adults sat out these atrocious performances, chairs lined side by side and in rows, even as in the theater. Weekdays after school, the children dropped in to see their grandmother. Entertaining them, she drew pictures of horses on which rotund ladies rode sidesaddle, their skirts billowy. She played the piano and whistled. Her "Listen to the Mockingbird," played with lively chords and a merry whistle, was enchanting.
Sitting in a low swing-rocker where she spent many hours each day, she listened to plans and problems, sometimes giving advice. Often she said she did not like being idle. It was her only complaint. But she was an invalid and had to be inactive.
Every moment of every day had been full to overflowing when she was a young wife and mother. She cooked and baked, she washed and ironed and cleaned. She worked at innumerable tasks without the myriad conveniences of today. She wove the cloth and made suits for her sons, cutting down outgrown ones as need for a younger boy. She sewed her clothes and those of her only daughter; her dearly loved daughter who died when a young woman, unmarried.
Martha’s love of God was deep and abiding, helping her to meet life with faith and courage. She and her husband were friendly with the Indians, and kind to them.

Daniel Drumheller: Good Genes and a Bit of Luck by Norman Bolker, M.D.
HistoryLink.org Essay 7266
Norman Bolker was a retired physician in Spokane who was interested in western history. This article about one immigrant's battle with disease originally appeared in The Spokane County Medical Bulletin (Fall 1980). It is here reprinted from Norman Bolker, M.D., "Good Genes and a Bit of Luck," The Pacific Northwesterner, Vol. 33, No. 1 (Winter 1989), pp. 14-16.
Good Genes and a Bit of Luck
Merely surviving was an accomplishment on America's frontier, and overcoming serious illness was a personal triumph. Physicians in that milieu must have been acutely aware of their limitations; yet they did much with what little they had, and their patients appreciated them, as Daniel Drumheller, one of the pioneers of the Northwest and an early Mayor of Spokane, related in his memoirs.
Drumheller was an exceptionally durable person. When only 14, he crossed the plains from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California, with a wagon train in 1854. He promptly became a full-time cowboy in northern California, had a stint with the Pony Express covering the section through the Carson sink in Nevada, and participated in the Pyramid Lake Indian war, all without illness or injury.
He was accustomed to the hazardous work of rounding up cattle and driving them to grazing areas. His job required him to travel through rough country frequented by outlaws and unfriendly Indians. He worked in desert areas where water was limited and sometimes toxic. He survived all of this unscathed because he had instinctive grace and the good genetic qualities we call a strong constitution.
Eventually the law of averages overtook him. He had been working as a ranch hand near what is now Colusa County, California, in the mid-portion of the Sacramento Valley, when in May 1860, at the age of 20, he decided to migrate to the Walla Walla country, as all of Eastern Washington was then called.
He sailed by steamer from Sacramento to San Francisco, transferring to a steamship bound for Portland. The voyage was long and rough, and young Drumheller attributed a malaise that developed en route to seasickness. Hoping to overcome the symptoms by exercise he tramped through the rain for two days in Portland. In spite of feeling worse, he boarded a Columbia River steamboat which took him as far as the cascades in the river, where Cascade Locks, Oregon, now stands, at which point the passengers had to make a long, hard portage in order to meet another boat that continued eastward. By the time he reached The Dalles, Drumheller was extremely ill and could go no farther. He rented a room in a hotel and went to bed.
Continuing the narrative in Drumheller's own words,
"The next morning, I was unable to get out of bed, and was a very sick man. Some of my friends who stayed over with me that day called in a Dr. Hogg. While Dr. Hogg could not tell what ailed me, he insisted that seasickness was not the cause of my trouble and he began treating me for lung fever.
"A nurse could not be found for love or money to take care of me. The little town was completely upset, full and running over by prospectors rushing to the mines. The only care I had during six days of serious illness was what little the doctor could give me, assisted by a chambermaid who would occasionally drop into my room. I was dangerously sick.
"The doctor called early one morning and asked me how I felt. I told him I had slept a little the night before and was feeling better. While the doctor was talking to me, I felt a little itching on one of my arms. I took my hands from under the covering and began rubbing the itching spot.
"The doctor said, 'Let me look at your arm.' He said he thought he could see a little rash appearing, and after examining me carefully he said, 'You have been suffering with a severe attack of measles.' He believed the worst was over. He went out into the hotel kitchen and made a pitcher of stew out of whisky and ginger. The doctor brought back the stew and told me I could drink all I wanted to, the more the better.
"In a few minutes the landlord sent me word that I would have to leave the hotel, as he could not afford to have his business ruined by a measley guest."
Dr. Hogg and a charitable townsman arranged for a place the patient could stay and receive some care, wrapped him in blankets, and carried him to a room with a clean bed. Here he continued to receive his doctor's attention and began his recovery. After two weeks he was well enough to continue to the Walla Walla country, where he had a long convalescence and made a full recovery.
There are risks in making a medical diagnosis based on ancient history. Nevertheless, I disagree with Dr. Hogg's diagnosis of measles.
It is highly unlikely that the exanthem of measles would first appear on an extremity, rather than the face, neck, and scalp. The patient did not mention photophobia, conjunctivitis, or upper respiratory symptoms that are so prominent with measles, and although this may be an error of omission, Drumheller was an exceedingly thorough reporter and probably would have described them if they had been present.
I would say instead that our man had picked up a tick-borne infection in the course of his work as a ranch hand just before leaving California. Our patient's rash appeared first on his arm, a finding characteristic for Rocky Mountain Spotted fever, which occurs principally in the northern portion of California, including Colusa County. His illness occurred in May when ticks are abundant, but cases of measles are few. He did not have any known exposure to measles but had frequent exposure to ticks.
Headache and fever usually accompanied by chills develop two to 14 days after an infected tick bite, followed by joint pains and general malaise. A macular rash resembling that of measles spreads from the extremities to the trunk as it becomes generalized. The disease is self-limited with fever abating at the end of the second week. The sequence of events in Drumheller's illness followed this scenario.
We cannot fault Dr. Hogg for his possible misdiagnosis. After all, Rocky Mountain Spotted fever was not recognized as an entity until 1873, 13 years later. Even today, some cases escape recognition. Probably Dr. Hogg saved his patient's fife by arranging for his care and shelter, after the severe stress the patient had experienced during the incubation period of a potentially fatal disease. Although his herbal remedy was ineffective, the good doctor's dose of compassion coupled with the patient's immune response made a crucial difference.
After a stint as a cowboy, Daniel Drumheller later became the largest cattle rancher in Eastern Washington, owning as many as 14,000 head at one time. He moved to Spokane in 1880 and organized The Trader's National Bank in 1885. After corporate reorganization, this was absorbed by the Spokane & Eastern Trust Co., which later became part of the Seattle-First National Bank. He was elected Mayor in 1891 and served as the U.S. fiduciary agent for Washington Territory. He died in 1925 at the age of 85.

Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago, IL., 1893, pages 298-299
D.M. DRUMHELLER, a well-known and highly respected business man of Spokane, Washington, was born in Sumner county, Tennessee, son of M.S. and Eliza (Hollis) Drumheller, the former a native of Virginia and the latter of Tennessee. Having removed to California when quite young, he was educated in the public schools of that State and in the college at Santa Rosa. In the year 1859 he located at Virginia City, Nevada, where he identified himself with express business and was also engaged in mining. From Nevada he came to Washington and located at Walla Walla, where he was interested in stock-raising until about seven years ago. He came to Spokane in 1880, since which time he has aided materially in the building up of the city from a struggling village of 250 inhabitants ten years ago to its present population, he has always had unbounded faith in the future of this city, and has never failed to substantiate it. Mr. Drumheller is a man of unusual executive and business ability and has been placed in various positions of trust and responsibility. He was a member of the Oregon State Legislature in 1866. In May of the present year (1892) he was elected Mayor of Spokane. He was one of the founders of the Traders' National Bank, of which institution he is vice-president and a member of the board of directors; is vice-president of the Big Bend National Bank of Davenport, Washington; and is president of the Missoula Mining Company, whose properties are at Murray, Idaho.
Mr. Drumheller was married in 1868, to Miss Susie Warren, a native of Tennessee, by whom he had three children: Jerome, born in 1869; Albert, in 1871; and Lulu H., in 1883. The mother of these children died in Spokane in 1888, and he was subsequently married to Miss Nellie Powell, a native of Oregon. They have one child, born in 1890.
Mr. Drumheller is a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, have taken all the higher degrees of that order. His political views are thoroughly in accord with Democratic principles. He is, indeed, one of the leading men of his community and is valued for his many sterling qualities.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HON. D. M. DRUMHELLER. It is impossible within the limits of a few pages to do justice to, and make mention of, all the interesting facts which are necessarily bound up in the details that mark the career of the subject of this sketch. It is still more difficult for the citizens of today to realize what the early settlers endured when they were compelled to meet danger and want, and to give up the accustomed comforts of life. Were it within the purpose of our story to reveal the trials of the old pioneers, we must certainly say first that it was an act of heroism to undertake the long and wearisome transcontinental journey unavoidable to those early settlers, who made their home in Washington when it was a wilderness and practically an unbroken country.
Probably no one man in the state is more deserving of space or personal mention in a history of this character than Mr. Drumheller. His achievements and successes have been a part of the growth and development of the state and there are few, if any, better known or more highly respected throughout the entire northwest. Throughout this broad range of country he has marked the impress of his individuality without really knowing it himself.
He was born March 25, 1841 in Sumner county, Tennessee, and when a child accompanied his parents to southwestern Missouri where he resided until he was fifteen years of age. At that time he crossed the plains and located in California, remaining there until 1859. Soon after his arrival in California, he secured employment as a cattle herder and with the money he earned while thus engaged, he probably laid the foundation that marked his successful career in life.
In 1859 Mr. Drumheller decided to go to that part of Utah which is now a portion of the state of Nevada. Here he secured employment with the Pony Express business that was operated by Ben Holliday. He remained in this position until 1861, when he decided to come to the territory of Washington and on June 16, of that year, he landed in the town of Walla Walla where he remained until 1865 when he moved to Umatilla, Oregon. Here his capability, sound judgment and logical sense were soon recognized by the people who elected him to represent them in the legislature of the state. In 1887 he returned to Washington and located in the Crab creek country, Lincoln county, where he engaged in the cattle business. His business assumed gigantic proportions and for many years was conducted on an extensive scale and operated successfully. When Mr. Drumheller first settled in Lincoln county it was included within the boundary lines of Spokane county, but since then population and emigration have caused it to be separated from Spokane, yet Mr. Drumheller is as popular and well known in Lincoln, Douglas, Adams and Franklin counties as he is in the city of Spokane. He still owns over twenty thousand acres of land in these counties, and is one of the organizers and directors of the Davenport National bank and the Reardan Exchange bank. Both of these banks were instituted with his direct co-operation and advice.
In 1880 he moved to the city of Spokane where he soon became a prominent factor in the commercial and general growth and development of the city. In 1884 he was elected councilman to the first city council ever chosen in Spokane and by his good judgment, keen foresight, and general knowledge of affairs and requirements, he was instrumental in formulating a foundation and operative basis whereby the young municipality had from its inception a practical business government. While he never was a politician in the full sense of the term, or ever sought political preferment, honors in this direction have been thrust upon him. In 1892 he accepted the nomination for mayor on the Democratic ticket, and while sentiment and public opinion was largely Republican, the citizens realized his qualifications for the office and elected him. His administration, was all that could be expected and was criticized generally as clean, upright, and judicious.
The Insane Asylum at Medical Lake stands as a monument to his business capacity and integrity. As one of the commissioners under whose management this splendid institution was erected, he still further justified the universal esteem in which he is held.
Mr. Drumheller is vice president of the the Traders National bank of Spokane, one of the largest, most successful, and substantial financial institutions in the state of Washington. He has filled the office of vice president from its inception and was instrumental in its organization. When the bank was organized he was a firm believer in its future advancement and became one of the heaviest stockholders. Its progress and success have resulted largely from his wise counsel and good judgment and have justified his opinion and resulted in the strength of the institution.
This brief sketch of the life of Mr. Drumheller leaves untold much that would be interesting, but what has been said of him proves that he is a man of indomitable will and perseverance, and remarkable knowledge. His characteristics are simple, plain, and unostentatious. He holds an honorable position in business and social circles and is universally respected by all classes.

Notes for SAMUEL DRUMHELLER:
http://www.coalking.ca/people/profiles/drumheller_drumheller.html
(picture)
Samuel Drumheller was born in Walla Walla, Washington, USA., the son of Jesse Drumheller, a native of Tennessee. After leaving Whitman College he joined his father in stock and wheat raising. He earned $500.00 a year plus clothing. When he had saved $1,000 he launched out for himself, first raising sheep and then going into wheat raising. He could buy land at $1.25 an acre and at the end of eight years he ploughed all the land under and planted it in wheat, producing as much as 80,000 bushels of grain a year. For seven years he was Superintendent and Director of the Livestock Department of the County Fair. After, he was joined by two partners and they were able to sell 3,000,000 bushels of wheat a year.
There were other members of the Drumheller clan in the North West United States. Ken Liddell of the Calgary Herald, in 1957, interviewed one Jerome, son of Dan Drumheller, who had come to the North West United States at the age of 20 years in 1854. The Drumhellers ran pack trains up into British Columbia around Fort Steele. All goods were paid for in gold and once a nugget worth $56.00 was passed over the counter.
Soon the Drumheller Associates were in natural gas in Montana; oil in Ohio; gold in Alaska; lead in Missouri and whatever was to be found around Rossland and Slocan of British Columbia.
It was Jerome Drumheller who, in the early 1900s came to Alberta with his cousin Sam to look for ranch and wheat lands and when hiking around the Badlands, 90 miles north-east of Calgary, reached the cabin of a homesteader named Mr. Greentree. The door was unlocked and they went in and made themselves at home. They were surprised to see a bucket of bituminous coal sitting by the stove and wondered where it came from in this isolated valley with little access to the outside world. They decided it must be a local product so went outside and followed tracks in the snow to the banks of the Red Deer River and found a five-foot seam, fifteen feet above the valley floor. They forgot all about ranch land and returned to Calgary to take out mineral leases in the vicinity.
There are many tales about Sam's next trip to the Valley—one says it cost him $700 to make the trip but doesn't tell how he got down the hills in a car. This may have been the time he drove down in his car from Red Deer on the frozen Red Deer River. One trip we know about was made also on the river but his car rode on a raft which tied up at Greentree's Crossing which was located about where the Power House now stands. After talks with Mr. Greentree, the raft and car continued down stream to near the mouth of Rosebud creek where he drove the car off the raft as he wanted to drive to Gleichen. He stopped at Mr. Murphy's homestead to find out about the road and some of the Murphy children piled in the car to show him the hill road. One look at that steep Raymond Hill was enough. Sam got a team of horses to haul the car up the hill, didn't go to Gleichen but followed prairie trails to Calgary.
By this time it was known that the railroad was coming into the Valley and Sam Drumheller wanted to buy Mr. Greentree's land for a townsite. On Ins third trip to the Valley, Sam completed the purchase of the land (rumor said for the sum of $2800.00 which he carried in cash in his shirt pocket) for the townsite.
When a post office was established in 1911 in Mr. Brownjohn's store, Mr. Greentree and Sam Drumheller flipped a coin to see whether the new town should be called Greentree's Crossing or Drumheller. The latter won and the new little town had a name.
Sam Drumheller opened up his mine in 1912, shortly after the Newcastle was opened by Jesse Gouge. The mine was worked at a depth of 85 feet and had seams from 9 to 11 feet thick, but only about half the seam was worked. The production per acre that is estimated in the vicinity of the Drumheller Mine is on an average of 9,000 tons. The mine did not always work at capacity as enough miners could not be found but it was estimated that the mine produced four to five thousand tons a day. The Drumheller mine did not remain open as long as some of the others in the valley.
After the railway came in, the Drumhellers established a home in the town where they lived for many years. Sam Drumheller also maintained a business office in Calgary. Mrs. Drumheller was very active in all community projects, sang in the first choir of Knox Presbyterian Church, was president of the first Ladies' Aid (of Knox) and a member of the Women's Institute.
Their only son, Lee, was manager of the Canadian Utilities plant. He married Nina Norstrant and they have two children, Robert and Merridy.
The article titled "The Samuel Drumheller Story" by Mrs. Myrtle Toshach is reprinted from The Hills of Home: Drumheller Valley (Drumheller Valley History Association, 1973). The Heritage Community Foundation and the Year of the Coal Miner Consortium (of which the Atlas Coal Mine is a member) would like to thank the author and the Drumheller Valley History Association for this contribution.

An illustrated history of Umatilla County, 1902. Pg 372-3
SAMUEL DRUMHELLER -- Possessed of fine executive ability and wisdom commensurate therewith, the man whose name heads this article has demonstrated by practical oberations in this county his capabilities to handle large enterprises as well as his shrewd financiering in obtaining his vast holdings in this and adjoining counties.
He is a native of the occident, being born in Walla Walla, on August 23, 1864, in which city he received a fine educational training, the primary part in the public schools and the completion in Whitman College. His parents, Jesse and Martha A. (Maxson) Drumheller are old pioneers of this valley; his father coming here as early as 1855, locating permanently in 1857.
Samuel started for himself as a farmer and stock raiser, having followed that continuously since, although not to the exclusion of handling other large eneterprises. He first bought a farm on the Touchet and later came to this county, about 1890, and bought the farm where he now lives, at first one quarter section, but now increased to two hundred and sixty-five acres, eight miles southeast from Walla Walla. In addition to this fine holding he has a mamoth estate of two thousand and two hundred acres north from Walla Walla, all excellent wheat land. He tills one thousand acres where he lives. His home place is a model of good taste and thrift, being laid out with wisdom and improved in the most excellent manner, with an elegant residence, fine barns, and other substantial buildings and essentials for the operation of a first class farm.
The marriage of Mr. Drumheller and Miss Annie L. Reeser, daughter of Hon. William P. Reeser, occurred on July 2, 1895. To them has been born one child, Lee R. Mr. Drumheller devotes much attention to well bred stock, having some as fine specimens as are to be found in the county. although but just entering on the prime of life he has already made a brilliant success in the financial world that would do credit to one who had wrought for a lifetime, and if past achievements, wrought out by pure energy, skill and ability, coupled with sterling integrity, are sufficient grounds for presaging the future, we predict for theis representative citizen triumphs in the days to come of such a nature and magnitude as will place him among the leading financiers of the west.

Coal Mining in Drumheller
The coal mines of the Drumheller Valley started much later than many others in southern Alberta and British Columbia. The first coal lease was taken out only in 1903 by a local rancher, James E. Trumble. He envisioned much commercial coal mining in the area in the near future and profited later from his foresight.
In the winter of 1907, an American entrepreneur named Jerome "Sam" Drumheller arrived in the Drumheller Valley. The ambitious resident of Walla Walla, Washington knew that a railway would soon be built through the district and he sought to establish a townsite around a seam of coal located on a local ranch owned by Thomas Greentree. Much of Greentree's large tract of land was sold to Drumheller, who set out a townsite on the land in 1910. The next year, the town was named Drumheller by the Canadian Northern Railway Company.
The same year, work began at the first commercial coal mine in the valley, the Newcastle. In 1912, eight other mines opened. The coal mining era of east-central Alberta was underway. Production increased steadily until, by 1921, there were 27 operating mines at Drumheller, the most up-to-date being the No. 2 Mine of Midland Coal Company. The two Midland mines alone were producing 1.5 million tons of coal annually, employing approximately 2,000 men.
The Atlas Coal Co. Ltd opened its first mine March 7, 1917. Owners of the company were James McCulloch and James O.E. Holden, who served as the first president of the company, and Dr. Omer H. Patrick, who later assumed control of the company and was president until his death in December 1947. Dr. Patrick opened another mine, also bearing the name Atlas Coal Mine on May 5, 1928. The founding of the Atlas and the Murray mines resulted in the establishment of the community of East Coulee. The Atlas Mine closed in 1979. Today the site is preserved as one of the best examples of coal mining structures in western Canada and became a National Historic Site in 2002.
The Depression of the 1930s saw drastic cutbacks in production of Drumheller coal and in 1940 the No. 1 Midland Mine closed. The war years, though, brought a sharp increase in production as the sub-bituminous coal was used to fuel factories across Canada. The Drumheller coal mines produced two million tons of coal in their peak year, 1947. However the discovery of oil and gas deposits heralded the end of the coal based prosperity for Drumheller. Gradually the mines shut down. Between 1911 and 1966 a total of 124 mines had operated near Drumheller, 34 of which had a long and productive history. Today, there are no operating coal mines in the Drumheller Valley, though a coal mine and thermal power plant operate today at Shawnessy, 80 kilometers to the east of Drumheller.

An important pioneer in Washington racing history
by Susan van Dyke
Considered the "Father of Thoroughbred Racing" in Washington State, George H. Drumheller (1874-1945) was among the original sponsors of the bill that legalized horse racing in Washington in 1933 and was the state’s leading breeder for six consecutive years (1935-1940).
From Wheat to Thoroughbreds
George’s father, Jesse Drumheller, first arrived in Walla Walla in 1852. Born in Tennessee, Jesse was just 17 when he boarded the Ezra Meeker wagon train bound for the Washington Territory. He later married fellow pioneer Martha Maxson in 1859 and they had six sons and one daughter. Jesse Drumheller became a prominent grain farmer and also founded the Drumheller Company, which retailed hardware and agricultural supplies. The Drumheller building in downtown Walla Walla was built in 1904 (and renovated in 2002).
George followed in his father’s footsteps and became one of the premier wheat farmers of his era. He was also known for his mules. He became active in the fledging rodeo circuits and many of the early horses he purchased were slated to improve the speed and quality of the relay horses and other mounts that his children, specifically Allen and Jessie, needed to successfully compete in that exciting and rough and tumble world.
In the 1920s, George began to acquire the stock that would make the Drumheller Farm the largest of the eight Thoroughbred farms in existence in 1933, when racing was once again allowed in Washington. Among the horses he purchased was 1921 Toboggan Handicap winner Gladiator, who would sire the first Washington-bred winner of the Longacres Mile, Campus Fusser, in 1941. The son of Superman—*Lotawanna, by *Trenton, led the state sire rankings in both 1940 and 1941 (records were not found for prior years). Linden Tree, a 1930 son of Gladiator, won the Don Stakes at two and the San Mateo Stakes as a five-year-old. Both runners were bred by Drumheller.
From 1940 through 1948, Drumheller stallions were number one on the Washington sire lists. Three-time leader Fort Churchill (1942, 1943 and 1945) was a 1917 son of *Honeywood—Tamiga, by Emperor of Norfolk. He had been originally "acquired and used exclusively as a stock horse sire, the demand in the area being for range work horses of size and early speed. The Fort Churchills began to show such zip in ranch races and rodeo relays the big horse was tried on Thoroughbreds." Among the runners he sired was 1941 Washington Futurity winner Prince Ernest, who went on to win the 10th Longacres Mile in 1945 after having run second the previous year. Prince Ernest earned $71,565, a significant amount for that period of time. Fort Churchill also sired Washington Breeders’ Handicap winner Kelly’s Rose and Northwest Futurity winner Bay Hill.
The most successful sire among the Drumheller trio was Black Forest, a 1928 son of the famed Black Toney out of Day Lilly, by Olambala. Black Forest was Washington’s leading sire five times (1944, 1946-1949). Among his many winners was Hank H., a half-brother to Campus Fusser and only the second Washington-bred to earn in excess of $100,000. Foaled in 1943, Hank H. became the third Drumheller-bred to win the Longacres Mile when he won the 1947 version over Bymeabond. Hank H. was also victorious in the Washington Futurity, back-to-back Washington Championships and the Peter Clark Handicap. He finished second to El Lobo in the 1947 San Antonio Handicap at Santa Anita. At the time of his retirement, Hank H. was Washington’s leading earner of all time at $130,700 with 26 victories among his 69 starts. Black Forest also sired stakes winner Georgie Drum, who was named in honor of George, Sr.’s grandson. Georgie Drum earned $86,730 and counted among his victories a win over Equifox, *Rounders and 1944 Kentucky Derby winner Pensive in the Stars and Stripes Handicap and two tallies in the Sheridan Handicap. Black Forest sired the stakes winning fillies Seattle Belle (Fashion Handicap) and Our Judy (Spokane Futurity).
From 1935 through 1951, George Drumheller bred the winners of 238 races with $104,837 in earnings to rank first in races won and fifth in earnings in the state (his son, Allen Drumheller, led the earnings list with $497,537 during that same period). It was noted in an article in the April 1952 issue of The Washington Horse that "The figure is actually much higher, however, as the late Mr. [George] Drumheller had been breeding Thoroughbreds for some 15 years previous to this period and, totaling the victories of other horses bred by him before 1935, indications are that this figure would probably be in excess of 400." Among the other stakes winners the senior Drumheller bred were My Reverie, Bonnie Omar, Blarney Stone, Pat, Linden Tree and Glad Mart.
In addition, his son Allen, an ex-rodeo champion rider who was named to the Washington Racing Hall of Fame in the trainer category in 2003, was Washington’s leading breeder for eight years. (See October 2003 Washington Thoroughbred for his Hall of Fame story.)
Drumheller is also a name that was widely respected in rodeo circles. The famous Mabel DeLong Strickland, "the Lovely Lady of Rodeo," was a friend of the Drumheller family. Upon her graduation from high school in 1916, she accompanied the Drumheller entourage as a relay rider. The talented performer was later inducted into several rodeo hall of fames, including the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame. Another Cowgirl Hall of Famer influenced by the Drumhellers was Puyallup born Reba Perry Blakely, who would say the "horse riding of the Drumheller family of Walla Walla, Washington inspired her dreams." Blakely, who died in 2002 at age 94, was also a noted rodeo writer and researcher. Blakely wrote the following story about the Drumhellers, which is reprinted from the July 1976 issue of The Washington Horse.
