    3. Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle’s Files December 12, 2004 20 Years Ago, December 12, 1984 Wasco County has filed a motion in circuit court seeking to stop further use of 640 “tent” structures at Rajneeshpuram and disassembly of these structures. The motion is part of a suit by McGreer and others against the city of Rajneeshpuram and other defendants and dates back to 1983. Wilford Carey, county land use lawyer, filed the suit. 40 Years Ago, December 12, 1964 Another part of the Stadelman property, amounting to six acres or more, will be acquired to go with the 14 acres previously purchased as site of a new school in the Chenowith Road-Webber area as the result of school board action Thursday. The District 12 board voted to authorize the additional purchase. An item of $24,000 for property acquisition was included. 60 Years Ago, December 12, 1944 Fire Chief Charles Roth Jr. was startled this morning to receive a congratulatory telegram informing him that he was the “father of quad”. The signature reassured him, however. It was from the Portland agency of the Mack Truck company and was designed to inform him that the “quadruplet” fire truck ordered months ago by the city had arrived in Portland from the east. The Portland agency will service and test the $14,000 fire truck during the next several days. Roth said that he expected delivery would be made to his department by about Friday of this week. 80 Years Ago, December 12, 1924 After waiting through most of one night and all of the following day for appearance of George Lawson on a ranch about six miles east of Criterion (Oregon) Sheriff Levi Chrisman returned to the city yesterday with a small steam cooler; copper coil and other paraphernalia seized at a suspected moonshine plant. Acting on information that a moonshiner’s “outfit” was in operation on the ranch, Sheriff Chrisman, accompanied by Deputy Hans Blaser and Federal Prohibition Office Dan Kerfoot left here Wednesday and upon reaching the premises, hid themselves to await the arrival of the owner. Urging local people, including members of the Officers Reserve Corps association to select a suitable site for an airdrome in or near The Dalles, Lieutenant Oakley G. Kelly , famous army aviator, told members of the Congregational Men’s club that he would return shortly to assist them in their work. The subject will be presented to the Kiwanis Club by Pat Foley, president elect. 100 Years Ago, December 12, 1904 This morning, Rex Harvey, who was arrested over a week ago for giving liquor to a minor, appeared in Justice Keller’s court for hearing and was discharged for lack of evidence to bind him over to the circuit court. W.H. Wilson appeared for the defendant and District Attorney Menefee for the prosecution.

    3. Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle’s Files December 5, 2004 20 Years Ago, December 5, 1984 All of the guests that came to Rajneeshpuram in the “share-a-home” program that operated this fall will probably be gone from Rancho Rajneesh by the end of the week, two men who have been there since September predicted Tuesday. Tom Carr and Rufus Gilley who were recruited in Los Angeles (California), left the ranch on Tuesday and estimated there were only 75 to 175 of the street people still there. Mill Creek Grange was host for the annual installation of officers for the area on December 2. The meeting was conducted by Don Bailey, master of Mill Creek Grange. There were 76 present with eight granges of the area being represented. The installation team included Mr. and Mrs. Larry Holsman, Larry Elliott, Eva Lynch, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Turner from Hood River County and Irma Spitler from The Dalles. 40 Years Ago, December 5, 1964 Installation of officers and the annual report of the president will feature the Chamber of Commerce members forum luncheon Monday noon at the Hotel Dalles, announced B.M. Keith, retiring president, who will report on his year in office. The president elect, William Dielschneider, will be installed and will be given an opportunity to comment on the year ahead. Other officers to be installed will be T.P. (Ted) Daniels and Glen Spicer, first and second vice presidents; and W.S. Nelson, who will assume the duties of manager for the 40th consecutive year. A company that has helped put the “pop” in the area’s soft drink trade for the past century is inviting the public to view the new bottling and distribution center at 1520 Bargeway Road NW near the west city limits of The Dalles. The Dalles Soda Works, a firm with a name going back to the pioneer era, is now holding its grand opening at the spacious steel building a 90 by 142 foot structure completed last summer. 60 Years Ago, December 5, 1944 The first degree murder trail (sic) of Sam E. Brendel, charged with stabbing to death Willie Carl Jones, outside of “Bert’s Place” First street card room on September 30, has been set for January 3, it was announced today by Judge Fred W. Wilson, prior to his departure for Hood River (Oregon) on circuit court business. It had been planned to hold the trial during December, but attorneys reported that other business conflicted with several suggested dates, Judge Wilson said. Brendel, arrested shortly after the stabbing affray, was indicted by the Wasco County grand jury on a first degree murder count. November was a “low month” for the city police department in the matter of arrests and fines, the monthly report submitted by Chief Frank Heater revealed. Arrests totaled 96, on which fines amounting to 456.50 were paid. Police court fines from July 1, 1944 to December 1, 1944 total $4,273 the report added. 80 Years Ago, December 5, 1924 Four prisoners in the city jail, two of them voluntarily locked up for the night, were beginning to believe that they would be fed through the bars with a straw until Charles Burchstorf brought a hammer and cold chisel down this morning to let them out. There is a familiar expression among policemen when a prisoner is sentenced to a long term that “they locked him up and threw the key away”. Somebody locked up the four unfortunates last night and whether he threw the key away or lost it, nobody knows. Officers of the Royal Neighbors lodge for the year 1925 have been elected as follows: Oracle, Mrs. W. Walden; V.O., Mrs. L. Underwood; recorder, Mrs. F. Oakman; treasurer, Mrs. G. Johnson; marshal, Mrs. H. Ohlegschlager; chancellor, Mrs. LeForge; P.O., Mrs. H. Watson; I.S., Mrs. C. Wilds; G.S., Mrs. W. Nichols; managers, Mrs. Webb; Mrs. Charles Swinford; Mrs. C.M.

One hobo was given twenty days because he had been ordered out of town Saturday and neglected to go, the others five days apiece. One of the drunks was discharged and the other fine $5. The east end is to have another substantial improvement. Charles Davis and a force of workmen began this morning moving the building on the corner of Second and Jefferson, which has been used as a portion of the Star Lodging, a block to the west, and on its present location a two-story building, 24-by20-feet, will be erected by George Teller, the owner of the lodging house. Its covering will be imitation of brick. It will, when completed, resemble the Dunn building a block above and to be a great improvement to the block.

Looking Back: A Glimpse Through the Chronicle’s Files November 21, 2004 20 Years Ago, November 21, 1984 Lisa Dawkins, a senior at The Dalles High School, has been names The Chronicle’s Miss Merry Christmas for 1984. She won in a field of 16 candidates and succeeds Lisa Cushing, also a student at The Dalles High School. Miss Merry Christmas is the newspaper’s official Christmas representative. 40 Years Ago, November 21, 1964 Two Denver, Colorado women were killed Friday night in a head-on collision on US 30 at Celilo, just east of the grade crossing. State police said the victims were Marjorie June Jones, 37, and her mother, Nellie Catherine Jones, 70, who lived at the same Denver address. The small foreign car in which they were riding collided with a westbound car driven by Everett Joe Rummell, 20, of Yakima (Washington) on a slight curve. About 100 Royal Arch Masons and wives commemorated 100 years of history Friday night at a special centennial celebration of The Dalles Chapter No. 6 Royal Arch Masons at the Masonic Temple. With Lewis Nichols presiding as high priest, honors were extended to Gene Caswell of Sweet Home (Oregon), grand high priest for the RAM of Oregon at the program, which followed a catered dinner in the dining room. 60 Years Ago, November 21, 1944 Naturalization ceremonies were held in the circuit court of Judge Fred W. Wilson this morning for four residents of this county who were admitted to citizenship from Great Britain, Italy, Russia and Norway. Those admitted were Edward Elias Griffith, formerly a citizen of Great Britain; Alfonso Pizzolato, formerly a citizen of Italy; Hilda Beatrice Sampson, formerly a citizen of Russia; and Thor Johan Jacobsen, formerly a citizen of Norway. Jacobsen was recently honorably discharged from the United States Army. Quotas were assigned yesterday to the various city and farm organizations throughout the county in the drive to reach Wasco County’s $750,000 quota in the sixth war bond drive in a minimum of time officials said today. Last night Mrs. Hal Holmes met with her corps of women salesmen at the county courthouse. 80 Years Ago, November 21, 1924 Wasco County was fifth on the list for the greatest number of predatory animals killed during the month of October it has been announced by Stanley Jewett, leader of predatory control in Oregon. Hunter C. Hight during that period killed 28 coyotes, 12 less that C.B. Brown of Malheur County. Two hunters in Harney County took third and fourth place on the list. A committee of seven women has been chose (sic) by Reverend Joseph A. Broeck to direct the American Red Cross Thanksgiving relief in The Dalles, the Junior Red Cross having charge of the contributions. Practically every child in the grade schools in the city is enrolled in Junior Red Cross and they will add small gifts to the Thanksgiving basket. Each child will bring a potato and an orange or apple to the school and these gifts will be collected by the women’s committee and will be placed in the basket with other contributions of fowl, meat or other articles of food. 100 Years Ago, November 21, 1904 Neal Robinson of this city has secured an electric light franchise for the town of Goldendale (Washington) good for twenty years and the city has entered into a contract with him to take sixteen lights for street lighting during the next two years. Mr. Robinson is to begin work on the new plant by the first of the month, and deposited $500 with the city treasurer as a forfeit unless the system is completed within four months. Social happenings at the county jail are not whirling since the court reduced the population to the minimum, which means Williams, the murderer, and Downs, the fellow that plead guilty to “takin’ but not stabbin’ the horse”. The latter is serving a three months sentence and will remain about a month longer. Williams, well, he’ll stay until he leaves at any rate.

    3. Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle’s Files November 28, 2004 20 Years Ago, November 28, 1984 Henry Wilkins of The Dalles and Condon (Oregon) is Oregon’s Conservation Farmer of the Year. The award was presented Monday during the annual Oregon Wheat Growers League convention in Portland. Wilkins operates a dryland ranch homesteaded by his grandfather in the 1880s. Wilkins maintains a residence in The Dalles and has served on the District 9 School Board. He began conservation practices in 1967. 40 Years Ago, November 28, 1964 Paul Johnson, who has headed the Goldendale (Washington) school system for nearly 33 years and who has been in the teaching profession in Washington for 38 years, has announced his retirement to take place the end of the present school year. His career as a teacher began at Sultan (Washington). He and his sister later taught at Roosevelt (Washington). Eight lettermen are back this season from a 1963-64 Lyle (Washington) Cougar team that racked up a 25-3 record over the season, including the State B tournament at Spokane (Washington). The Cougars had a perfect 12-0 record in the Klickitat County “B” League last season. Four members of last year’s team have departed. Four members of this year’s varsity have three years experience each. They are Darrell (Duke) Coleman, Roger Migaki, Steve Tidyman and Don White. Duane Johnson and Bill Parrish have both had two years experience and Larry and Sims one year each. Jim Titus is the coach. 60 Years Ago, November 28, 1944 Mr. and Mrs. A.W. Gust of Maupin (Oregon) recently moved into one of their cottages on Elrod Avenue after selling their Maupin auto court to Mr. and Mrs. R.F. Herbert of Portland, who took possession Monday. The Herberts are well known at Maupin as they have fished the Deschutes for many seasons. Facing a charge of soliciting a ride on the highway from passing motorists, two men were arrested yesterday by state police near this city. Giving their names as Owen Arthur Wheeler and Kermit T. Carney they were arraigned before Justice of Peace Glenn O. Allen and sentenced and sentenced to serve five days in the county jail. The charges were made under the little-used Oregon law, it was asserted, to give Oregon police and (sic) opportunity to investigate the two men. Arlington’s (Oregon) unbeaten, untied and unscored-upon football team will meet Chemawa for the B-school championship of Oregon to be played Friday evening the Willamette University stadium. Frank Adams is the coach of the Arlington team. 80 Years Ago, November 28, 1924 Forty-six pint bottles of moonshine arrived in The Dalles Wednesday – objects of Thanksgiving cheer – but never reached their destination. Chief of Police Frank Heater locked them up safely in the police station. “Bill” Cora, a Russian and alleged bootlegger from Portland, was also locked up in connection with the 46 pint bottles and their contents. He was later released upon posting cash bail in the sum of $150. Raymond H. Baker, arrested in a local rooming house with Cora, was fined $25 in police court this morning by Judge D.L. Cates on a charge of complicity in the proposed sale of Thanksgiving beverages, and advised the court he would appeal. 100 Years Ago, November 28, 1904 Castle or “Beacon” Rock, one of the greatest scenic attractions on the river between this city and Portland, has been sold to Charles E. Ladd, of Portland, for $2,100. What Mr. Ladd’s idea in purchasing it remains to be seen. The former owner was Jay Cooke of Philadelphia (Pennsylvania). The past summer has been a busy one in Dufur (Oregon), filled with circumstances that have not allowed monotony or in any way caused time to drag. Residence after residence has been constructed, three brick buildings for mercantile purposes are near completion and a large and commodious livery stable remodeled and built. DUFUR DISPATCH.

    3. Looking Back: A Glimpse Through the Chronicle’s Files November 14, 2004 Wasco County Planner Dan Durow will go to Rajneeshpuram to inspect housing at the commune located there, but further inspection trips will not be announced. An inspection trip scheduled for Tuesday morning was blocked literally, when a tractor-trailer rig owned by the commune ran off the only county access road and blocked it. Judson Baptist College trustees will meet her Saturday over what is termed “hard decisions” on the school’s future in The Dalles. Dr. Roger Crabbs, the schools president, said today this could include such things as the sale of the school’s property and moving to smaller quarters, a Chapter 11 federal bankruptcy proceeding to allow the school to hold off debt service while it regroups and negotiations for financial reorganization. Two major developments have pushed the college into a financial bind, although Crabbs said the school was in better shape especially organizationally than at any time since coming here. 40 Years Ago, November 14, 1964 Silver anniversary meeting of the Wasco Electric Cooperative, which has grown from its initial 300 members and 265 miles of line energized just before Pearl Harbor involved the United States in World War II, was held Saturday at the Junior High Auditorium. Eric Johnson, manager of the REA financed cooperative for the entire 25 years, was presented a plaque for his long and faithful service by President Rex Kaseberg in behalf of the board of directors. Re-elected to the board were three long-time members, Kaseberg of The Dalles, Leo Hammel of The Dalles and Ralph Woodside, Maupin. Patricia Sexton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Sexton, was recently inducted into Alpha Lambda Delta honorary for outstanding academic achievement. She is a 1963 graduate of The Dalles High School and is a sophomore. 60 Years Ago, November 14, 1944 Lettuce growers in Wasco County are working against time this week in getting out the crop before severe weather sets in, W. Wray Lawrence said today in commenting upon the continued drop in temperature. Recent drops in lettuce prices on the Portland market held up marketing of the crop here the county agent said and now with an upward swing in prices, growers here are bending every effort to get the crop harvested before weather halts operations. 80 Years Ago, November 14, 1924 As a result of a raid on property owned by Raul Douglas, east of the Thompson’s Addition store late yesterday afternoon, H. Bushey, said to be a renter of the Douglas place, is in the county jail under a charge of manufacture of intoxicating liquor and the federal and county authorities are in possession of one of the cleanest whiskey distilling outfits ever seized in this part of the country. The raid was made by Sheriff Levi Chrisman, Federal Probation Agent Don Kerfoot, Chief of Police Frank Heater and Deputy Sheriff Harry Dodge. What is believed to be one of the smallest real estate transactions on record in the county was consummated yesterday when Sheriff Levi Chrisman, for Wasco County, sold a lot at Shaniko (Oregon) for 75 cents. John McHargue was the purchaser. The parcel of land was seized by the county, upon the declaration in circuit court that Joe Le Clair had become delinquent in this respect as owner of the property. 100 Years Ago, November 14, 1904 Saturday morning, W.H. Turner was arrested and charged with stealing a buggy from the Columbia Feed Yard. Turner claimed it had been sold to him by another party. The trail (sic) took place in Judge Filloon’s court Saturday evening, District Attorney Meneles appearing for the prosecution and Forest Fisher for the defense. The case was finally dismissed on account of lack of evidence.

    3. Looking Back: A Glimpse Through the Chronicle’s Files November 7, 2004 20 Years Ago, November 7, 1984 With 1,800 to 2,000 absentee ballots being counted here today, it appeared certain Art Labrousse would be sheriff; Wayne Fawbush state representative and Ken Jernstedt state senator. With 11,561 ballots counted the 2,000 absentees would make the turnout 13,581 or 93 percent of the voters registered. The absentees are being counted today, with results not expected to be available until late today, perhaps Thursday. Ray Matthew and Jim Comini were leading for county commissioner. John Mabrey was leading for mayor of The Dalles, Dewanda Clark and Merritt Probstfield were leading for council. Republican Gordon Hilderbrand was elected Sherman County Judge in Tuesday’s election. Hilderbrand defeated his Democratic foe George Delbert Smith 628-603 in the only contested race. Robert A. Boynton, the Republican, won the county commission seat on the ballot with 958 votes. Merle Eldridge, another Republican, received 130 write-in votes. 40 Years Ago, November 7, 1964 The Hancock twins at 1407 E. 15th Street are now properly identified. If no further mixup occurs until they are old enough to know their own names, Jimmy will be Jimmy and Joey will be Joey, even though no one can tell them apart by looking at them. A letter received by the city police from the State Bureau of Identification confirms the preliminary finding made by Detective Ernie Brock of The Dalles police department. Brock took the left footprint of Joseph Edward, the younger (by five minutes) of the two identical twins of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry N. Hancock, and compared it with the prints that were a part of the birth record from The Dalles General Hospital. The letter from the state said that the crease in the print do not match those from the hospital print from James Duane, but do match the original print of Joey. Police help was sought in determining who was who in the Hancock family after marked diaper pins were mixed. 60 Yeats Ago, November 7, 1944 The Germans, despite the fact that they are on the verge of defeat, still are disseminating propaganda in an attempt to disorganize American fighting forces, according to a letter received recently by G.F. Masquart of this city from his son, Chris C. Masquart, now fighting in Germany. The Nazis drop many propaganda notes over American lines, urging U.S. soldiers to surrender, or attempting to disrupt their morale by painting a false picture of conditions on the home front, Masquart said. He enclosed in his letter a propaganda note recently dropped by the Germans over American lines. 80 Years Ago, November 7, 1924 L.E. Emerson of The Dalles was awarded the highest prize in the section east of the Cascades in Oregon for a sample of butter exhibited at the Oregon State Buttermakers convention held in Portland November 5 and 6. The prize was three barrels of butter salt. Owing to the fact that lights have not been installed, yet on the beach for night practice, the American Legion football team will meet in the civic auditorium gymnasium where it will be coached by Robert L. Murray. The night practice will be held there until further notice, it is reported. Sunday morning practice will be held on the legion athletic field. 100 Years Ago, November 7, 1904 Saturday night at the Baldwin opera house one couple was made happy by receiving $5 which was promised to the best lady and gentleman waltzer. Graceful Miss Hays deserved and won her share, while Mr. Gardner, a most thoroughly correct dancer, made his friends proud to see him win his muchly deserved prize. Professor and Mrs. Holst extended to each of them their hearty congratulations. J.G. Fisch (sic), of The Dalles, came very near meeting with a serious accident while enroute from The Dalles to Madras (Oregon) yesterday. The wagon bounced off a large rock in the road, throwing Mr. Finch and his daughter out, hurting Mr. Finch in the back and lungs badly. Remember, all election returns will be received by direct wire at the White House saloon (in The Dalles?).

    3. Looking Back: A Glimpse Through the Chronicle’s Files January 9, 2005 Researched and compiled by Elroy King 20 Years Ago, January 9, 1985 The state of Oregon Tuesday officially notified two Rajneesh organizations of more than $1.4 million in fines for violating state electric codes in 640 huts erected at the central Oregon community of Rajneeshpuram. The fines are the largest ever levied by the state Department of Commerce. At the same times the building codes division notified Swami Deva Sandesh, Rajneeshpuram’s building official, that it is withdrawing his certification as a building inspector because of his failure to require building permits on inspection for the huts and to act in the public interest. The Dalles watershed has an unusually high snow pack and the Crow Creek Reservoir filled in December, one of the earliest recoveries in its 17 year history. Bill Keyser, director of the Department of Water Treatment and Supply, says the High Prairie Snow Course at elevation 6100 feet measured 110 inches with average water depth of 39 inches and density of 34 percent. 40 Years Ago, January 9, 1965 Action was begun this week by the city of Arlington (Oregon) to withdraw its appeal of a recent decision by Circuit Judge Edward Howell holding illegal the sale of the new above-the-lake business district to a private investor in Portland for resale to relocated businessmen in Arlington and other places. The new mayor, insurance man Les Grant, was authorized by a council resolution to seek the services of legal counsel and then proceed with action for dismissal of the appeal. The Dalles Indians got off in Intermountain Conference action Friday by winding up on the long end of a 50-37 decision over Redmond (Oregon). Mike Bertrand led the attack with 12 points and Jay Kane added 11. 60 Years Ago, January 9, 1945 Counsel for Sam Brendel, on trial in the Wasco County Circuit Court today on a first degree murder charge, will abandon a previous plea of :not guilty by reason of insanity” and instead will claim self defense in the death of Willie Carl Jones. That was indicated this morning by T. Leland Brown, who with F.L Phipps, is representing the defendant in this case. 80 Years Ago, January 9, 1925 While Frank Loonen, unsuspecting, lay in a local hospital with a broken hip, Sheriff Levi Chrisman last night led a posse to a small island in the Deschutes River and destroyed what is believed to be the largest moonshining plant ever uncovered in Wasco County. Loonen will be prosecuted, District Attorney Francis V. Galloway stated this morning. In the meantime Loonen is under arrest in the hospital and the authorities have been informed he will be confined in bed for several months. G.L. Buck of Yakima (Washington), said to be married and the father of three children, and Mrs. Ruby Williams of Onalaska, Washington, the mother of three children, were arrested in a local rooming house last night on a warrant charging Buck with violation of the Mann act. Both had deserted their children, according to the story told here today by local authorities. Buck is alleged to not only having deserted his children, but a wife whom he left in Yakima. 100 Years Ago, January 9, 1905 F.L. Hurlburt was in town Wednesday from Shaniko (Oregon). He says that a new brick hotel, a large hardware store and a big general merchandise store are in prospect for this place in addition to their new bank which is to be built in the spring.

    3. Looking Back: A Glimpse Through the Chronicle’s Files 20 Years Ago, October 17, 1984 A federal judge Tuesday refused to grant the Rajneesh Commune a temporary restraining order prohibiting County Clerk Sue Proffitt from requiring new voter registrants to attend eligibility hearings. And today the Rajneesh submitted to new voter registrations from Rajneeshpuram making the total submitted 1909 since October 10 the hearings order was imposed. Closing arguments in the murder trial of Arnold Ray Huskey were made by the district attorney and the defense attorney this morning and the case was expected to go to the jury sometime this afternoon. Huskey is accused of the murder of truck driver Robert Mcnair, Oregon City (Oregon). Huskey’s co-defendant, Gordon Junior Parsons, has already entered a guilty plea. 40 Years Ago, October 17, 1964 Members of the Library Board reinforced their view that the Houghton site is an excellent one for the new library building when they visited the site with an architect Friday afternoon. Here to inspect the broad acreage and to discuss project features was George McMath, Portland, member of the firm that made the earlier Civic Center study for Dalles City. “Dedication of ourselves comes first,” Harry Atkins, minister of Dufur Christian, makes plans as he and his congregation of some 190 persons prepare for dedication of the new church building Sunday. The minister will use this as a theme in the 11 a.m. service. 60 Years Ago, October 17, 1944 Sam A. Brendel, 39, accused of stabbing to death Willie Carl Jones, 31, will go on trial for his life, members of the Wasco County grand jury decided later yesterday when they returned an indictment charging him with first degree murder. Brendel is second man to face a jury later this fall on charges of first degree murder. Also held in the county jail is Charles Richard Wilson, accused of shooting to death is stepdaughter at Antelope (Oregon). Better than 15 percent of the $17,750 Wasco County quota in the Oregon War Chest drive was obtained in the first day’s solicitation. Ben Musa, treasurer of the general committee in charge of the campaign said this morning. Many workers are still to report. Early reports indicate that once again Wasco County citizens are responding well to the solicitation for funds to carry on national, state and local charitable and service enterprises. 80 Years Ago, October 17, 1924 Miss Aline Howell went to Portland this afternoon to take the five Youmans’ children to the Boy’s and Girl’s Aid Society where they will make their home. The three girls and two boys lived with their parents in the house just west of the Bert Thomas home on Fulton street until a week ago when they were deserted. Since that time they have been under the care of the Wasco county and the local Red Cross. The children range in age from four to 14. 100 Years Ago, October 17, 1904 A former Dalles girl will cast her first vote for Roosevelt next month. On the registration books at Wardner, Idaho, appears the name of Georgia Brown, who was formerly Miss Georgia Sampson of this city. Here’s hoping that her vote won’t be challenged because she’s too young to vote; this it counts double when the polls are all in and that she doesn’t get red headed and lose any of those pretty auburn tresses in a political squabble. This afternoon while riding to school, the 11-year-old son of J. Rayburn, who lives near the old fairgrounds, fell from his wheel and in so doing severely injured his left hand, the thumb being badly torn at the lower joint. He was brought to Dr. Geisendorffer’s office, where the wound was treated.

    3. Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle’s Files September 5, 2004 20 Years Ago, September 5, 1984 The Dalles City Council Tuesday voted unanimously to offer help to provide sewer service for the port of entry being considered on I-84 on the west side of town. Councilman John Mabrey said he would like to see the city take the lead in the matter and moved to offer a one-third participation with Port of The Dalles and the county. 40 Years Ago, September 5, 1964 Ted Rickets of The Dalles shot a 299 game last Friday at the Skookum Bowl in Yakima (Washington) while competing in the first annual Hank Ninemire Invitational Tournament. 60 Years Ago, September 5, 1944 Registration in The Dalles public schools is the highest in the last six years, according to today’s records at the office of Superintendent Paul R. McCulloch. The records show 130 more registrations than on the first day of school in September, 1943. The high school, however, rather than sharing in this increase shows a decided downward trend, as it has since 1940, when its registration was 546. Today it was 365. Miss Zoe Baur arrived in The Dalles last week to assume her duties as assistant librarian, a position which has been vacant since Miss Harriet Cook left The Dalles in April. Miss Baur came here from Denver (Colorado). She has taken a room at the home of Mr. Guy Pound. 100 Years Ago, September 5, 1904 It is reported that Lou Gibbons, one of the men who stole the horse from lower Antelope (Oregon) ranches, is working over in the Foppiano neighborhood, and several persons have heard from him. None of the badman-hunters in the county seem to have a particular hankering after Gibbons, and as far as we know, no effort is being made to capture him, though there is a reward offered for his arrent. Yesterday Reverend Father James O’Neill conducted the services at St. Peters Catholic Church, having arrived in this city Saturday. For some time past, Father Desmarias has been in ill health and unable to take charge of the work. For this reason Bishop O’Reilly has assigned Father O’Neill to the church at this place. The new priest, who recently came to Baker City (Oregon) from Baltimore, is a young man of rare attainments and a bright future, and The Dalles church is fortunate in securing him.

    3. Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle’s Files October 10, 2004 20 Years Ago, October 10, 1984 The Oregon Transportation Commission voted Tuesday morning to locate the Port of Entry at the Cascade Locks (Oregon) site as had been recommended by the transportation department staff. The vote to locate the facility at Cascade Locks was 4-1 with N.B. Giustina of Eugene casting the “no” vote. The Cascade Locks site was one of four proposed, including one at The Dalles. Two followers of Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh may run as write-in candidates November 6 for vacancies on the three-member Wasco County court, said Ma Anand Sheela, the guru’s personal secretary. Sheela said Monday she saw “a great deal of possibility” that the two, whom she did not name, would be elected as write-in candidates to the court, equivalent to a county board of commissioners. 40 Years Ago, October 10, 1964 Voters of The Dalles Friday approved a $250,000 bond issue to build a new library on the Houghton property at Seventh Place and Court Street. The vote was 838 in favor on the bond and 557 against. In the balloting on the library location, 1020 favored the Houghton site and 289 for the city park site. 60 Years Ago, October 10, 1944 Property owners of The Dalles lost $104,534.94 by fire last year Fire Chief Charles Roth Jr. of this city said today in stressing the need for paying particular attention to fire preventive measures. In line with national fire prevention week, which opened throughout the nation October 8 for one week, a comprehensive program is planned for this city beginning tomorrow. Collection of the Wasco County tax roll for 1944-45 in (sic) much farther ahead this year than ever before at this time, Sheriff Harold Sexton said this morning. Tax collections so far this period reached a peak Monday when $10,000 was received. Free wood can still be had by persons applying to the ranger station at Dufur (Oregon) for a permit, Ranger Gordon said today. Free limbs and fuel may be gathered along both sides of Skyline Road for 60 feet, Gordon said. 80 Years Ago, October 10, 1924 Charles Hanning and Frank Betts, arrested Wednesday afternoon by Sheriff Levi Chrisman and Hans Blaser on a charge of illegal possession of intoxicating liquor, were each fined $50 in the justice court at noon today upon pleas of guilty. The sheriff in a search of the old Frederick ranch on Five Mile Ridge yesterday, discover a 25-gallon copper still which had a wooden top. 100 Years Ago, October 10, 1904 An alarm of fire turned in at the noon hour was occasioned by a coal oil stove exploding in the dressmaking parlors of Edith Davis over Donnell’s drug store. Aside from the burning of a table cover, little damage was done and the fire was under control when the firemen reached the scene. J.H. Jackson is in from his place at Agency plains (Jefferson county, Oregon) making final arrangements to move his family to the homestead, where he has a commodious dwelling house almost completed. Mr. Jackson is ill and isn’t looking well now.

    3. Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle’s Files October 3, 2004 20 Years Ago, October 3, 1984 A decision on moving the murder trial of Arnold Ray Huskey to another jurisdiction has been delayed until Wednesday by Wasco County Circuit Court Judge John Jelderks. The motion for the change of venue was made by Huskey’s attorney, John Kelly, during a pretrial hearing held this morning. Huskey’s codefendant, Gordon Junior Parsons, did not appear in court today and his absence was not officially explained in open court, except for the judge to verify with Parsons’ attorney, Jim Habberstadt, that they would not be appearing. Hope grew stronger today that new contamination related foodborne illness was nearer an end. Health officers said that no new cases with contamination dates later than September 26 had been reported to the Wasco-Sherman Health Unit. According to Dennis Illingworth, sanitarian, the 455 cases reported were people who were contaminated before September 26. Of these, 140 have been confirmed as salmonella and of these a total of 71 were determined to be salmonella typhimurium, one of the more common types. (Read past articles submitted on Bhagwan Rajneesh involvement in Wasco county). 40 Years Ago, October 3, 1964 Adding to the traffic woes on the Oregon Trail Highway as deer hunters headed east in an almost solid stream, was a train-truck collision on the Celilo Crossing 12 miles east of here Friday night. A Union Pacific train crew member serving as a flagman was struck by the pickup truck as it entered the crossing. The pickup, pulling a camp trailer, swerved in an effort to avoid the collision, but Gene Collins, 47, Portland, was struck while scrambling to get out of the way. The foot is still important in football as a conversion kicked by Jim Mahan in the final quarter boosted The Dalles Indians to a 27-26 victory of the LaGrande (Oregon) Tigers, and moved the Tribe into a tie for second place in the Intermountain League. Mahan’s game winning conversion came after Phil Wagenblast scored from 27 yards to tie the game at 26-all with only three minutes left in the game. 60 Years Ago, October 3, 1944 Members of the city council last night voted to purchase a radio for the fire department truck of Fire Chief Charles Roth Jr., similar to the one now in operation in the police department’s patrol cars. The Dalles Community Orchestra, under the direction of C. Robert White, will give a musical program at the Eastern Oregon Hospital here Wednesday evening, October 18. The orchestra is available for community activities, according to Nelson Lewis, president of the group. 80 Years Ago, October 3, 1924 Political gossip in The Dalles was humming like a buzz saw this morning when it was rumored around town that Dr. Vern Hamilton was about to enter the race for the mayoralty against P.J. Stadelman, incumbent. Dr. Hamilton stated at noon that things looked favorable for his candidacy and that he had permitted his name to go on several petitions which were in circulation. Arol Bolton and Paul Schiller of this city were pledged to Beta Theta Pi fraternity early this week at Whitman college where they are freshmen students. They were football men in the local high school and now show promise of a successful football career at Whitman, according to the reports from Walla Walla (Washington) this morning. 100 Years Ago, October 3, 1904 A hand-to-hand fight between two drunken men, one a deckhand on the REGULATOR, caused quite an excitement about 10 o’clock yesterday morning. The marshal appeared on the scene and was soon marching the offenders off to jail. Upon reaching the door the deckhand objected strenuously, striking at the marshal with his brawny fist. Fortunately he missed the mark and was soon in durance vile. When they had sobered up sufficiently, Recorder Filoon fined them $5 apiece and turned them loose. When passenger train No. 2 reached The Dalles yesterday morning Marshal Wood was there to meet four unwilling guests of the city hotel up on Third and Court. They were Fred Hawley, William Clemens, A. Gidney and B. Johnson, who had broken into a box car containing merchandise for Idaho, and were discovered by Conductor Hogan, who locked them in and phoned to the marshal.

    3. My great-grandmother was a Fish from Princeton, Wis., where her father was an attorney. A cousin of mine has done some very in depth research on the Fish family going back into the 1700's.. If you wish I can forward this to him as I am sure he could give you much more information than I.
