Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle’s Files February 27, 2005 Compiled by Elroy King 40 Years Ago, February 27, 1965 Friday was the final day of city employment for Dale Stump, who for nine years has served as resident operator of The Dalles city’s filter plant at Wicks Reservoir. Stump, who is going into private employment, worked for the city a number of years before taking the assignment at the headworks of the city’s gravity water system on the South Fork of Mill Creek. Lyle (Washington) stayed in the running for a berth to the state tournament by knocking Kittitas (Washington) out of the district competition Friday night 76-62. Don White took the scoring honors for the Cougars with 22. The Great Old Southern depot building is now on its new site, across Second street from its original location on property excavated by Grover Keller. He purchased the building from the city recently. The building is still on scaffolding, pending the installation of permanent foundations. Extensive alterations are planned before it is ready for occupancy. 80 Years Ago, February 27, 1925 Two local young men, Frank Tyler and Orville Cochran are students at the Kirksville Osteopathic College in Kirksville, Missouri according to word received from the latter. The young men are both members of the Atlas club, an organization which takes as members students who excel in their work according to Mr. Cochran. Dr. E.M. Lyda, Kirksville, has established a large practice there, according to Mr. Cochran and spends some time teaching class. The new meat market of C.E. Huston which has been installed in half of the premises by Hewitt, the painter, on East Second street will be opened tomorrow it was reported this morning. The paint store has been partitioned through the center. Huston taking one half and Hewitt retaining the other section. 100 Years Ago, February 27, 1905 Again The Dalles has suffered from fire. This time one of our finest buildings being damaged, the total damage being estimated at $28,000. “A scalded child dreads the fire” and so when the alarm sounded about 6:15 last evening and our people hastened from their homes to find smoke pouring from the drug store of A.E. Crosby in the Vogt block, the dread seized them and they feared a repetition of form experiences. It was a stubborn fire, one where the demon itself did not show its real hand to the spectator but sent volume after volume of smoke to herald its presence, baffle the firemen and keep all in terror as to the extent of its working. Its origin is also a mystery.

He was seen by some kindhearted men at the Umatilla House [hotel], who put out in a small boat and although it was risky, pulled through the floating ice and save the frightened animal. At about 10:30 this morning the steam ferry was making its way to the Oregon side when it encountered an immense piece of ice which had fastened itself to the cable, refusing to dislodge or allow the boat to pass. For over an hour the ferry attempted to “buck it”, waltzing about in vain endeavor, and finally gave up and returned from whence it came. How long the ice will continue to block navigation remains to be seen.

(5:1) The murderous squaw that shot the Beale child at Little Klamath Lake, is a hybrid monster, half Modoc and Klamath. If Sheriff Howard of Siskiyou has awaited 15 minutes longer at Klamath Falls for extradition papers, a "mob" would have staid the proceedings. THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1906 Virgil McClure returned from Klamath Sunday evening, having been calling home by the accidental drowning of his brother, which occurred on June 24th in Lost River. The young man was 21 years of age and had numerous friends who mourn his untimely death.

Lee, Is an update anticipated for Lone Fir Cemetery in Lobster Valley? That web site shows the name of James Gerling and it should be James GeRking. I've not visited that cemetery so don't know personally if that's caused by a typo or if the tombstone was engraved that way, but one of his gggranddaughters reported she had visited the grave and she didn't mention a misspelling on the stone.

Sacramento Evening Bee Wednesday, January 18, 1905 WILL NOT GIVE UP LOVED BABY Troubles of the Hanks of Interest in Oroville, Red Bluff and Gridley OROVILLE (Butte Co.), January 18 - The Gridley story in The Bee of Monday evening, in regard to the matrimonial troubles of John HANKS and wife, created considerable comment in Oroville and brought to light additional facts in the case. The report is circulated here that some days ago Hanks came to Oroville and went to where his wife is stopping and demanded to see his child. He was informed that as soon as an officer arrived his request would be granted. An officer was sent for and when he arrived the child was taken from a room in which it had been locked upon the husband's arrival, and brought into his presence. It is said that instead of caressing the child with fatherly love, he began to heap abuse upon his wife, which he carried on until, it is said, Officer REILY told him to desist from further abuse. Hanks then left. Attorney George GARDNER, the woman's attorney, soon after went to Red Bluff, where Hanks' father was at the time, for the purpose of stating his client's side of the case to the elder Hanks. The father, according to reports, returned with the attorney and interviewed the wife of his son, making her a proposition that she keep the boy one-half the time and the father the other one-half. The woman declined, saying that if they once took the boy to their home in Klamath Falls, Oregon, where the elder Hanks has a large stock ranch, she may never get the babe again. So the elder Hanks returned without the child. The opinion prevails here that the older Hanks are very fond of their grandchild and are desirous of getting it away from Mrs. Hanks, and are likely to leave him, if they do, considerable property. While here the husband made a search for witnesses which might aid him in his proceedings in Court, but just who will be called, if any, is not known. Both the parties are well known in Oroville and the sensation is the all absorbing topic discussed here at present. Each has friends here and many heated arguments are heard, though in a majority of the cases the sympathy seems to be with Mrs. Hanks. It is hinted that some prominent parties will be brought into the case as witnesses.
