Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle’s Files March 27, 2005 20 Years Ago, March 27, 1985 City Clerk and Treasurer John Thomas of The Dalles has announced he will retire June 30 completing 28 œ years on the job. Thomas was born in The Dalles and graduated from The Dalles High School in 1942, served in the military during World War II and graduated from Pacific University in 1948. He has served under eight mayors and four city managers. Wasco County voters firmly supported a $4.5 million bond issue Tuesday, approving the measure 2,495 yes to 2,136 no. School District 12’s school levy for maintenance failed 1,637 yes to 1,720 no. Port manager John Rayburn said the design work on the port improvements project would take 45 days and the bidding would proceed to level more than 100 acres of land, install water and sewer facilities. The project will complete preparation of port lands for industrial and business sites. Elected as commission directors were Gordon Foote and Neal R. Hammel. 40 Years Ago, March 27, 1965 A part of one of the colorful chapters in the history of The Dalles will again be brought to life if a project of the Sorosis Park Association, led by President Alf Wernmark, can be made a reality. And that is the activation of the Max Vogt memorial fountain, left to the city of The Dalles in the will of the city’s number one landlord on his death in 1911, once on a downtown street but now at Sorosis Park. The activation, as envisioned by Wernmark, would include a water tank underneath powered by an electric motor, with colored lights designed to play on the spray at night. 60 Years Ago, March 27, 1945 Members of the Townsend Club No. 1 met last Saturday evening at the Arcadian hall for a business meeting before the regular program hour and dance. Walter Ryan presided at the meeting when it was announced that a potluck supper will be held Saturday evening, March 31, at the hall to preced the regular meeting and dance. Mrs. J.J. Fleck, chairman of the social committee, will be in charge of the dinner. More than 100 persons attended the dance sponsored by the club at the hall later in the evening. 80 Years Ago, March 27, 1925 The Dalles is to become the headquarters for a first class Boy Scout council, embracing Wasco and Hood River counties at first and later to take in Klickitat [Washington], Sherman, Gilliam and Wheeler [Oregon] counties. Definite assurance that the project, under discussion here and in Hood River for some time, would be carried through successfully, was obtained last night when The Dalles Lodge of the Elks voted unanimously to underwrite the movement to the extent of $2,500, following an exhaustive discussion of the Scout movement by G.H. Oberteuffer, regional scout executive with headquarters in Spokane [Washington]. 100 Years Ago, March 27, 1905 Heavy sheep buying was carried on last week in the vicinity of Antelope [Oregon]. Farquhar McRae, who is buying for J.G. Edwards of Hay Creek, purchased small bands from Tom Brogan, James Connolly, Pat Raddigan, Joe Bannon, John McLennan, D.T. McRae, and M.C. McKay. The prices paid ranged from $1 to $2.25. All the purchases made from yearling bands. The sheep will be delivered at Shaniko [Oregon] after the shearing season closes. People who are attempting to raise chickens up on the bluff have been greatly annoyed by chicken thieves who have spirited away some of their best blooded birds. The thing has been going on for some time until the owners have become desparate and ferreted out the thieves. They have determined that they are boys and are planning to punish them in a substantial manner.

Looking Back: Through The Chronicle’s Files March 13, 2005 20 Years Ago, March 13, 1985 A 25-year-old man arrested here Sunday night in a simple traffic stop has become the subject of police activity in four states on cases involving rape, robbery, attempted murder and assault. He has been identified as Ronald C. Cunningham, who is believed to be from Wallace, Idaho. Cunningham was taken to the hospital here Monday with unknown symptoms, but it is believed he was ill prior to his arrest by Sgt. Duane Sumner at 10 p.m. Sunday at Sixth and Cherry Heights. 40 Years Ago, March 13, 1965 Petitions calling for an election in the Chenowith rural area west of The Dalles for incorporation as a city were being circulated this week following the second meeting to discuss the topic held Thursday night by the Chenowith Development Association. Ralph Madsen, association president, presided over the gathering of about 50 residents of the area at their meeting at Wahtonka High School. 80 Years Ago, March 13, 1925 A contract for drilling of a 10-inch well at The Dalles Country Club to provide water for irrigated fairways, was entered into between directors of the club and C.H. Scott, well driller, last night. Scott will move his equipment to the club course from Portland early next week and will start work soon after that, he said. The contract calls for a 10-inch well, not less than 100 feet nor more than 300 feet deep. The death of Mrs. Walter M. Pierce, wife of the governor, has apparently held up extradition papers forwarded by District Attorney Francis V. Galloway in the case of William Baker, wanted here on a grand jury indictment charging nonsupport. Baker was arrested several days ago in Seattle [Washington] and is free on $1,000 bond. He is fighting extradition. Owing to the death of Mrs. Pierce it was believed here today that the governor has not returned to his desk at the capital. 100 Years Ago, March 13, 1905 His name is Dan Hopkins and he has evidently been having a high time out in Tygh [Tygh Valley, Oregon], beating his wife, firing off his gun, tearing up things generally, and when Constable Moad attempted to arrest him he attacked him. But Moad did a little of the beating act himself and subdued him. Justice of Peace J.K. Harper didn’t know what to do with him so sent him to District Attorney Menefee, who is also at a loss to know just what is expected of him in the case as it really doesn’t come under his jurisdiction. The Christian and Missionary Alliance has rented the building on the corner of Washington and Third street, formerly used as an undertaking parlor. It is being remodeled and nicely fitted up, and when completed will make a neat little chapel. The first service in the new chapel will be held Wednesday, March 15. Reverend Sawtelle of Portland, superintendent of the C and M Alliance work in the state of Oregon, will preach on Wednesday and Thursday evening of this week.

Ted Sabey added that the little pinto ponies were driven by Kenneth Sather. Jake Grossmiller said both he and his late father worked the announcer’s booth at the fair. “From the upper cupola,” he said, “Giles French [publisher of the Sherman County Journal] would call most of the races as long as he was able.” And Dee Lieuallen-Kaseberg noted that “the grandstands pictured in the background are still standing and being used today, although the section on the far right is now gone.” Written permission to reprint given by The Dalles Chronicle, The Dalles, Oregon Copied and submitted by Earline Wasser Member of Columbia Gorge Genealogical Society c/o The Dalles/Wasco County Public Library 722 Court Street The Dalles, Oregon 97058 http://community.gorge.net/genealogy [Note: new website address] Browse http://historysavers.com/orwasco/ recently updated information regarding Wasco County - Links are at the bottom of page The Dalles Chronicle http://www.thedalleschronicle.com/ http://searches.rootsweb.com/ "Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant."

Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle’s Files Sunday, March 6, 2005 20 Years Ago, March 6, 1985 A Mosier [Oregon] firm today was awarded the contract to make the repairs on the Wasco County Planning office which was damaged in a fire on January 14. Following the recommendations of Tenneson Engineering Corporation, which the specifications for the project, the Wasco County Court awarded the contract to Elmer Thody, who had submitted the low bid of $18,898 last Friday. Teachers at Petersburg School fear the potential of unfairness in the hiring process if reductions in force methods proposed by the District 14-C School Board were to go into effect, a teacher’s representative says. Barbara Cash, negotiator for the Petersburg Education Association said proposed changes in the present reduction in force article in the teacher’s contract would include merit as a consideration should the board be faced with laying off employees. This would decrease objectivity, since it would make the firing process vulnerable to opinion, according to Cash. 40 Years Ago, March 6, 1965 Betty Kennedy, salutatorian for The Dalles High School class of 1965, and Larry Barr, an outstanding senior student at Wasco County Union High School at Maupin [Oregon], were recently selected as scholarship winners by The Dalles Elks Lodge 303 from 18 competitors in the lodge’s jurisdiction area, Wasco, Sherman and part of Klickitat County, Washington. A new wholesale and retail auto parts business to be operated in the territory out of Dufur [Oregon], and distributor of aqua and anhydrous fertilizer together with operation of a Laundromat in a new building are all planned by Bob DePriest, Dufur businessman and operator here for many years of a farm implement firm. DePriest announced the purchase from Clifford Smith of The Dalles of McFadden Auto Parts Company, now located in a building at East Second Street in downtown The Dalles. 60 Years Ago, March 6, 1945 A formal application by the Northern Wasco County Public Utility District for a 25-year-franchise in The Dalles under which Bonneville power could be distributed in the city last night was denied by the city council, following debate that at times became heated.
