Maupin is near a fault line and is having a series called swarm earthquakes, these are surface to crustal fault (6-12 miles) This current swarm has been going several years that I've been following.

150 Years 1887-1901 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY PART THREE OF THE DALLES CHRONICLE’S TEN-PART SERIES. April 27, 2007 Page 4 MOUNTAINEER CALLS IT QUITS SSUSPENSION OF DAILY TIMES-MOUNTAINEER – With last night’s issue, November 30th, the DAILY TIMES-MOUNTAINEER suspended publication until such time as the business and population of The Dalles shall, in the opinion of the publisher, justify resumption. Mr. Douthit gives as his reason for suspension the fact that for some years he has been running the daily at a loss. The announcement is no surprise to those who are in any measure familiar with the cost of getting out a daily paper in a town of four to five thousand inhabitants where the metropolitan papers are received a few hours after their publication and where the field is divided between two rivals. ¶ Were The Dalles situated a hundred or a hundred and fifty miles further from the metropolis the situation would be materially different, but even then two daily papers could only with great difficulty be made to pay. As it is, and has been during all the years of the existence of two daily papers in this city, neither of them could have kept its head above water for a month if it had been compelled to subsist on its won [sic] income.¶ Each had to draw its life-blood from the income of the weekly or job office, and not infrequently the necessities of the daily absorbed all that was derived from the two other sources. Even with the entire field left as it now is to the DAILY CHRONICLE, its circulation and income will have to increase materially before it can be considered an independent paying proposition. This is not said in any spirit of complaining but as justification of the wisdom of Mr. Douthit’s movement. One daily paper may be made to pay in The Dalles; two never could. ¶ The DAILY CHRONICLE will do its best to cover that part of the field that has been abandoned by the suspension of the DAILY TIMES-MOUNTAINEER. It will make no change in the generous treatment hitherto accorded to its patrons, and will take no undue advantage of its having the whole field to itself. December 1, 1890 Editor’s note: The MOUNTAINEER continued publication for five more years as a weekly, rather than daily newspaper.

April 27, 2007 Page 4 Part 2 RESIDENTS FROM COURT STREET WEST MUST BE ABANDONED FLOOD OF 1894 – Mr. Lucas Henry, populist candidate for legislature, came in from the Antelope country yesterday. He reports the Deschutes very high. ¶ The United States land office will have no business, unless it opens up the swamp and overflowed department. It is up to expectations in that. ¶ The only mails we have had for a week is one from Hood River this morning, and some paper mail that came down Tuesday and that consisted of three papers. ¶ H.H. Riddell has moved into the upper story of THE CHRONICLE building and will hold down the situation until further notice. Ta-Ta, brother, we will see you later. ¶ An iron pot floated up the street to our office door this morning, which convinced us it was time to move. Iron pots floating up stream indicate extremely high water. ¶ The First National bank is putting in a false floor and will remain open until the water strikes its vaults. Six or eight inches more will compel it to close up until new quarters can be procured. ¶ The Umatilla house put in another false floor last night, which is its limit for the lower story. Should the rise continue the range will be moved up stairs, and business kept on just the same. Judd Fish says he is in it to stay as long as the roof is dry. ¶ Second street presents a busy scene today. Herbring, Pease & Mays, Rorden, Farley Mays & Crow, and in fact all are moving out or putting stock above their different guesses for high water mark. We hope they are high enough, but have lost confidence in the river. ¶ The floods are not confined to the Columbia, but have extended all over the coast. The Fraser is higher than ever known, while the Sacramento and streams of Southern California are raging. Three persons were drowned in the streets of Los Angeles. In Colorado every stream is a torrent. ¶ This morning the water had taken possession of Third street from Court west. The only spot on Second street visible at the same time was from THE CHRONICLE office to Pease & Mays corner. Everybody is busy caring for goods and raising stock on platforms. It is probable all will yet have to move. ¶ Up to 6:30 last night the bulkhead at the locks had not gone out. By almost superhuman efforts the bulkhead was raised about four feet, and it was considered that yet three feet of a rise could be stood. The back water is now only 12 feet lower than the water above the dam and even should it go out, which now seems improbable, the damage will not be so great as was anticipated.

April 27, 2007 Page 4 Part 1 RESIDENTS FROM COURT STREET WEST MUST BE ABANDONED FLOOD OF 1894 – High water views, 15 cents each at Gilhousen’s. ¶ Another foot will put the water on the post office floor. ¶ There was a lively row on Second Street yesterday afternoon. ¶ Has anyone heard anything about an election to occur on Monday? ¶ From present indications The Dalles will go prohibition Monday. ¶ Wanted to a lady, a position as clerk in store. Inquire at this office. ¶ Down by the U.P. the tops of the coal cars are just visible. ¶ The situation is aptly described by a profane friend as being h__l at half mast. ¶ The bridge trestle across Mill Creek is laded with cars, and is settling in places. ¶ The water measured three inches higher at noon than at 6 o’clock this morning. ¶ Winans Bros. have lost every fish wheels but one, and this is badly wrecked. ¶ For night calls Dr. J. Southerland will be found at room 37 Chapman block until further notice. ¶ Sidney Young has moved his stock and tools to his residence, where he will carry on his business. ¶ N. Harris is moving his big stock out in boats, a proceeding that many others have yet to follow. ¶ At noon First Street was out of sight, being under water from Mill Creek to the grade at the East End. ¶ Mr. McInerny has a lot of big boats carrying goods out of his store. The water is at the top of his counters. ¶ The man with the longest legs now wears the broadest smile, because it is further from his body to the street. ¶ Every available team in town and many from the country are at work moving goods and household effects. ¶ Nearly all the residences on Third street west from Court will have to be abandoned, and many are already moving. ¶ Monday’s issue of THE CHRONICLE will be somewhat reduced in size as we had to abandon our press, and will be printed in the old school house. We propose to stay with it if we have to go to Cloud Cap with our material. ¶ Stoneman & Fiege have moved their stock into the next building to O.D. Taylors residence opposite the Methodist church. ¶ The HOOD RIVER GLACIER and the ANTELOPE HERALD are the only papers in the county that are not run out by high water. ¶ Keller still holds the fort in his bakery, but if he doesn’t get a move on soon he will find his “bread cast upon the waters.” TO BE CONTINUED Incoming and Outgoing messages protected by Trend Micro PC-cillin program

April 27, 2007 Page 3 A RED LETTER DAY FOR THE DALLES DETAILS OF THE CELEBRATION – The Boats Came Through, and Crowds Were There to See. The DALLES CITY had left Portland at 7 o’clock, made seven landings and reached the Locks at just noon, the best time ever made on the run. The SARAH DIXON had also arrived with a full complement of passengers from Portland. Everything was in readiness by 2 o’clock, only the non-arrival of the HARVEST QUEEN, causing any delay. It is estimated that fully 5,000 people were present aft the QUEEN had arrived. About 3:30, to the Tooting of whistles the DALLES CITY took the post of honor, leading the way into the lock, where the SADIE B., the little steamer belonging to the Day Bros., awaited them. In turn, the SARAH DIXON and HARVEST QUEEN moved in, the lower gates were closed, the sluices opened, and in 15 minutes the lock was full, the hydraulic engines swung the big upper gate open and the DALLES CITY and SARAH DIXON, the first boats from the lower river, came through the float upon the azure of the Upper Columbia. As the DIXON pulled through a detail from Battery A. O. N. G. fired a salute of twenty-one guns. The harvest queen BUT CAME THROUGH FAR ENOUGH TO AGAIN GREAT THE WATERS OF THE Middle Columbia, where her keel first struck the water, and then turned and steamed back again. ¶ Captain Fisk, who has charge of the works, Civil Engineer Morris and Messrs. J.G. and I.N. Day seemed to take pride in answering a throng of questions that were continuously propounded, and by their courtesy, added largely to the enjoyment of the occasion. ¶ At 4:30 the steamers pulled out for The Dalles, and half an hour later the train followed, loaded with citizens of the Inland Empire, who long ago had despaired of seeing the sight they had just witnessed. At 7:45 the boats swept round the point of rocks, and in a few moments were lying side by side at the D.P.& A.N. wharf. Everybody and everybody else was there to see. Klickitat and Sherman counties had sent large delegations, and Wasco was represented by at least half her citizens. ¶ The parades formed at 8:15 and headed by the troop of mounted men, followed the line of parade laid down for it. Along the line of parade every house was illuminated, and down Second street the windows of our business houses were beautifully decorated and aglow with electric lights. For half a dozen blocks the streets were aflame with the gleam of colored lights that burned until the last man in the procession had passed. November 6, 1896.

April 27, 2007 Page 3 A RED LETTER DAY FOR THE DALLES DETAILS OF THE CELEBRATION - The Boats Came Through, and Crowds Were There to See. Thursday, Nov. 5th, 1896, will ever be a red-letter day in the history of The Dalles. The weather was simply perfect, the sky cloudless, the air bracing, with a suggestion of frostiness that coupled with the glad event sent the blood tinkling through artery and vein. By 9 o'clock the boat was crowded almost to the limit of her carrying capacity, and on the wharf and the beach was an enthusiastic crowd of 3,000 or more cheering citizens, many of whom later made the trip to the Locks by train. At 9:30, the last passenger was on board, and with waving hats and handkerchiefs, ringing cheers and tooting whistles, the good steamer REGULATOR pulled out from the wharf and turned her prow down stream, to, for the first time, meet and greet her consort of the lower river. Mt. Hood, covered with new fallen snow, seemed, as a passenger remarked, "to have put on a clean shirt and fixed up for the occasion." The stirring music furnished by our magnificent band echoed and re-echoed from the wooded hills that guard and guide Columbia's mighty tide. Down by Memaloose, with streaming banners, the engines drove the keen prow through the blue waters. A thing a life and energy, in strange contrast with the silent sand-strewn island of the dead; a vivid comparison with the times when those who now sleep silent and forgotten, were sole masters of the mighty stream. Landings were made at Lyle, when Mr. Whitcomb and others were taken on board, at Hood River, where Mayor L.N. Blowers, accompanied by the city council, Hon. E.L. Smith and others joined the crowd; at White Salmon, at Underwood's, where Amos Underwood, a pioneer settler of Skamania county, and one who was at the Locks at the time of the Indian massacre there, came, the especially invited guest of the D.P.&A.N.Co. At about 1 o'clock the REGULATOR reached the Locks, and her passenger soon swelled the crowd already arrived from Portland. To be continued.

April 27, 2007 Page 3 THE DALLES AND WAMIC TO BE CONNECTED BY TELEPHONE THE TELEPHONE LINE - The county court has granted the franchise to The Dalles and Wamic Telephone line, incorporated by the Gordon company, on Feb. 28, 1893, in preference to the Roland Co. incorporated on March 8, 1893. The Gordon Co. propose to offer one half of the capital stock of their company to the people of the country traversed at par. This is certainly a generous proposition, and shows a good spirit. It is a well known fact that the telephone lines in operation in Eastern Oregon pay a dividend on the investment of over 100 percent, per annum. The new line will be 35 miles in length, touching at Dufur, Wamic, Kingsley and Tygh Valley. The projectors of the enterprise will commence putting in poles at once and expect to have the line in working operation by the first of June. The officers are as follows: F.S.

April 27, 2007 Page 3 CLOUD CAP INN FINEST RESORT IN OREGON A WASCO COUNTY RESORT - So many people are absent from The Dalles, at the coast, in mountain camps and elsewhere, that if society people were inclined to be merry these days they couldn't do so on a large scale. Out of town amusements began early this year. The devotees of the camp fire and the lovers of wild woods and babbling streams are legion. Sliced bacon and pheasants, mountain trout and bad coffee, seasoned with the spice of novelty, piles high the festive boards. Wasco county, as has been remarked before, has not all the summer resorts in Oregon, but we claim all that any of the others have, of a fascinating character, and much more besides. Cloud Cap Inn, from which the writer has just returned, is certainly the finest spot on the Pacific coast for a summer outing. Mr. Moody's coaching party reached there, direct from The Dalles, at 8:45 last evening. Mr. Jud. S. Fish's coaching party met them about three hour's drive (up the grade) this side of Cloud Cap at 6 p.m. Having experienced the pleasure of being one of Mr. Fish's party, readers of THE CHRONICLE will in due time be furnished with a detailed history of Cloud Cap; its picturesque and lovely surroundings, 7,000 feet above the sea level, at the edge of the timber line, where the cooling breezes from the perpetual snow capped summit of Mount Hood; just at the back door; invites you to a seat with field glass in hand to take in the marvels of nature in all her intense moods of majestic grandeur. The road is the finest in the world, and the merry talk of the coach, as we spin along, told a story which will bear repeating. July 25, 1892.

Sandoz' team; the wagon loaded with stable refuse, started the fun on Union street. As they came up the street Keller's horse hitched to a light hack, snuffed danger and struck out ahead of them. Turning up Third street at the courthouse corner they started Bob Hood, who was driving up that thoroughfare, and he hearing a smash-up put the buckskin to his nags and tried to run ahead of the storm. Up Third they came at break-neck speed, and it was hard to tell for awhile which was going to come in ahead, but Hood side tracked himself the first opportunity, while the Keller horse getting all he wanted, was easily caught, but the Sandoz team were still headed towards Dufur and going faster than a flying machine when last they were seen.

The Oregon Equipment Company building [110 E. Second St] was originally built as the Lemke Saloon in 1910 by Ferdinand Lemke. Lemke built the white-glazed brick building when a competing saloon owner and town fire marshal condemned his first saloon the "Yellowstone." The Lemke Saloon was also home to a bordello on its top floor, said Oregon Equipment Owner, Hewitt Hillis. It was also a speakeasy during prohibition, with city hall, police and the fire department housed just across the alley. Oregon Equipment bought the building in the mid-1950s.

150 Years 1887-1901 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY PART THREE OF THE DALLES CHRONICLE’S TEN-PART SERIES. April 27, 2007 Page 2 SPECTACULAR STORM POUNDS AREA SEVERE WIND AND RAIN STORM – Saturday Witnessed an Unusual Storm in the Inland Empire. A cloud burst, preceded by a storm of wind that almost rose to the proportions of a cyclone, visited, late Saturday afternoon a strip of country lying between Fifteen and Eight Mile creeks and extended from there in a northeasterly direction to the Columbia river. The amount of damage done is not yet fully known, but it must be considerable. From various sources we have gathered the following particulars, which may be modified or corrected by later reports: ¶ The warehouse of the Dufur flouring mill was blown down and wrecked. It contained a large quantity of flour and feed, which, happily, was not materially injured. Hail fell to a depth of more than a foot on the ridge between Dufur and Eight Mile, beating down to the earth hundreds of acres of standing grain and cutting off the heads of wheat and barley as if with a knife. The hail in places had not melted till twenty-four hours after the storm. In some places rocks were moved and piled up in heaps that weighed from a ton down. The fruit trees in one orchard of the ridge were blown out by the roots. Johnston Bros., of Dufur, estimate the damage done to their grain crop at $1500. Other crops were damaged to a lesser extent. Water flowed through the street at Dufur a foot deep. ¶ At Dry Hollow, between Boyd and Dufur, the storm struck a six-horse team, driven by a Warm Springs Indian. The leaders, a span of mules, turned short, broke the reach of the lead wagon and piled the entire team and front wheels of the wagon in a ditch some ten feet deep. The horses and mules were barely out of the ditch when a flood of water came rushing along that would have drowned the whole outfit.¶ A flood of water six feet in depth ran through the Frank Huot barn at Eight Miles, and with difficulty a number of horses in the barn were cut loose and saved. The chickens on the Huot ranch were swept away and most of them destroyed. The apples in the Drake orchard, half a mile this side of Eight Miles creek, were beaten off the trees by the hail and scattered by the wind and washed by the flood all over the road between the orchard and the creek. ¶ Later Saturday afternoon apparently the same storm struck the railroad track this side of the Deschutes and covered it from two to three feet deep with sand and rocks to such a distance that it took fifty men all Saturday night to clear the track. ¶ A teamster brings in word that a cloudburst struck him Saturday afternoon on the Sherar grade, this side of Deschutes, and that to save his team from being washed away he had to unhitch them and take them to higher ground. ¶ The peculiar thing about the storm was that it followed no well defined path. It was worst in the draws and hollow places; but apart from the few spots where it raged with most violence, the rainfall was more of a benefit than an injury. The Tygh ridge country suffered no injury that we have heard of, but had a rainfall that was highly beneficial. June 25, 1890.
