ARTHUR V. GULLIFORD
	A prominent wool grower and agriculturist of Umatilla county, we take 
pleasure in granting to the man whose name initiates this article a 
representation in this volume.  The ability and energy that have made him 
eminently successful in his business undertakings have, together with his 
genialtiy and breadth of mind, given him the respect and esteem of his fellows 
and placed him in the front ranks of our citizens. 
	He was born to John and Julia Gulliford, in Lane county, Oregon, on 
April 29, 1860.  In 1872 he came with his parents to this county and completed 
the education in the private high school at Pendleton that had been begun in 
Lane county.  When eighteen years of age he commenced the battle of life for 
himself, operating first as a sheep herder, at which he continued for three 
years, gaining a practical knowledge of the business in all its varied 
details.  Through rigid economy he was then enabled to purchase a small band 
of three hundred and fifty sheep, which proved to be the nucleus of his 
magnificent holding of to-day.  He operated these with his father and two 
years later went into partnership with his brother William, which continues 
until the present time.  Together they own over seven thousand head of fine 
grade Merinos, from which they clip annually between fifty and sixty thousand 
pounds of first-class wool.  Their realty is over five thousand acres of good 
land. 
	Mr. Gulliford was married in Pendleton, on October 8, 1892, to Miss 
Ella DeGraff, a native of Illinois.  To them have been born four children, 
Arthur, Ella Grace, Alice J. and Charles J.  He is a member of the K. O. T. M. 
of Pendleton, and also takes an active part in political matters, while at the 
present time he is serving in public office.
