150 Years 1857-2007 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY February 28, 2007 page 2 Gold Rush Cramps Hospital Capacity OUR COUNTRY HOSPITAL - Among other matters to which the attention of our Grand Jury was called at their late sitting, was the condition of our County Hospital, and in view of the average number of unfortunates being treated at the public expense, they recommended that a more suitable and commodious building be rented for hospital purposes. What action our County Commissioners will see fit to take in this matter, of course we cannot foretell; but we are of the opinion that Wasco county is entitled to some consideration from the State at large in the way of helping her to bear this burden. We are so situated that we catch one-half of the whole travel into and from the State - every fall the emigration and returning miners, and every spring that mineward bound rush leave at our gates some persons in a destitute and helpless condition. Humanity forbids that these persons should be suffered to die or want because they do not belong in our midst, and yet the drain upon our few taxpayers is certainly much more than their just proportion for these purposes. We would respectfully commend this subject to the consideration of our next Legislature, and if there be no legal obstacle, suggest the justice of a relief bill to meet the exigency, and continue, without too great a tax upon one county, the charities which have been extended to sufferers at this gateway of the State.

150 Years 1857-2007 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY February 28, 2007 Gold Rush Brings Mint THE MINT AGAIN - Recent advices from Washington lead to the belief that the U.S. Branch Mint will yet be built at the Dalles. The original bill locating it at this point, and making appropriation for its erection has not met with any successful opposition, and the difficulty of procuring fresh legislation upon matters of this nature, encourage the belief that the law will stand as first passed, and that the Branch Mint will be built here. - Before, when this question was agitated, the citizens of the Dalles deeded to the Government a plat of ground on which to erect the necessary buildings. Letters have been received, and the title to it be properly proved up. This, we believe, has been done. We have always contended that the Dalles was the most available point for a mint if one was to be established north of San Francisco, because, to locate it at Portland would be to take it an unnecessary distance from the mines, and to place it at Idaho would place it out of the way of the Canyon City and up-river gold yielding regions; moreover, we believe that we have every reason to anticipate fresh and rich discoveries throughout the whole circle of country to which the Dalles is the natural centre. If there is any action which our citizens can take at the present status of the question, let it be done at once. A grain may turn the scale in our favor, and our local prosperity be made certain. [Caption beneath picture of Mint building reads: Congress gave money for a mint in The Dalles in 1863. Before the mint was finished, gold petered out in the Canyon City area; the building was never used as a mint.

150 Years 1857-2007 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY February 28, 2007 Hurdy-Gurdy House Rukus FIGHT AT VANCOUVER - A fight occurred between a party of soldiers, of the cavalry, and some citizens, at Vancouver [Washington], on Monday night, in which one soldier was killed and three others wounded, besides two hurdy-gurdy girls had their legs broken. It appears that the soldiers were paid off on Monday, and after night went to the town for the purpose of "cleaning out" a hurdy-gurdy house. Several shots were fired and stones flew thick and fast. The fight lasted some time, but finally the soldiers were driven from the house and order was restored.

150 Years 1857-2007 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY February 28, 2007 Trashing of Insurgent South Comes to an End FORMALLY DECLARED - The President has, by proclamation, formally declared the insurrection in the Southern States at an end. His proclamation is too long for our columns, but after enunciating in general terms that standing armies, military occupation, military law and tribunals, and the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, are, in times of peace, dangerous to public liberty, the proclamation concludes in these words: Therefore, I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim and declare, that the insurrection which has heretofore existed in the States of Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Florida, is at and end, and henceforth to be so regarded.

March 8, 2007 Celilo honors falls' past Events continue Saturday and Sunday at village By KATHY GRAY of The Dalles Chronicle Remembering Celilo Falls takes more than a village, and this weekend Celilo Village will fill with visitors come to commemorate the Celilo legacy. For centuries uncounted, Celilo Falls boiled and foamed through a narrow, twisting descent. As the huge salmon battled their way up from the ocean, or down from spawning grounds, and through the seething waters, native fishermen waited atop platforms with dipnets to capture the river's wealth. Fifty years ago this Saturday, the raging falls came to an end, submerged beneath the backwaters of The Dalles Dam, 10 miles downriver. Celilo Village residents, tribal dignitaries and government officials from afar will honor the memory of Celilo Falls with events both Saturday and Sunday. Celilo legacy events will include solemn ceremonies, traditional feasts, a powwow and exhibits telling the story of the falls. Films of the falls will be held at Celilo Park on the riverfront. Traditional salmon dinners are planned both days, and food vendors will also make traditional foods available. Wy-am Chief Olsen Meanus Jr. invites the public to all events both days. "A lot of people talk about the falls, non-Indian and Indian alike," said Meanus, chief for the past two years following his grandfather, Chief Howard Jim. At 47, Meanus is a few years to young too remember the falls himself, but grew up on its stories. "[The elders] talk about the falls - the experience, the meaning, the feeling of how it was to fish the falls," Meanus said. "Everything I have experienced through their stories." Those who do remember the falls recall the suspended trams that pulled the fishermen across to the islands, but before the tram lines, they crossed the trecherous waters on heavy, dugout canoes. So Celilo Legacy ceremonies start Saturday with a canoe ceremony, where Meanus will greet the Puyallup canoe on the banks of the Columbia. A number of other Pacific Northwest tribes will also participate in the canoe ceremony. "We'll welcome them here to the land and then have traditional opening ceremonies," Meanus noted. The Wash'ut service at 10 a.m., is the official opening ceremony, both days. Silent films and slide shows portraying the falls and its people will run throughout both days as part of the celebration. "We're hoping that a lot of the pictures, displays and films will spark the memories of our elders," said Bobby Begay, also a grandson of the late Chief Howard Jim. Begay is a coordinator of the event and the preceding planning process, which included many of the village residents, as well as representatives from surrounding tribes. Begay also extended his welcome to weekend visitors. Traditional displays will be featured at the Wa-na-pa Village at the in-lieu fishing site at Celilo Park. "It's an educational village," explained Begay. Traditional ways of cooking salmon, creating nets, making tule nets and stories of Coyote legends are among the events planned at the park. Celilo Legacy Schedule Saturday: 9 a.m. - canoe ceremony 10 a.m. - Wash-ut service (opening ceremony) 10:30 a.m. - Honoring ceremony Speakers include Yakama Nation Chair Lavina Washines, Wy-am Chief Olsen Meanus, Jr., Wy-am sub-chief Raymond Colfax, Columbia River Chief Bronsco Jim, Jr., Columbia River, Sub-chief Damien Totus, Confederated Warm Springs Tribes Chair Ron Suppah, Confederated Umatilla Tribes Board of Trustees Chair Antone Minthorn, Nez Perce Tribe Chair Rebecca Miles, U.S. Corps of Engineers General Strock, Deputy Regional Administrator EPA Region 10 Ron Kreizenbeck, NWPCC Vice-chair Joan Dukes, Columbia River Gorge Commission Chair Judy Davis. 11 a.m.-3 p.m. - traditional dancing in the dance arbor from the Warm Springs 4-H club and the canoe tribes. 2 p.m. - traditional salmon dinner 4 p.m. - Give away and Celilo memorial 4-6 p.m. - open floor 7 p.m. - Celilo Legacy Powwow and stick games All day - Celilo Falls history exhibit and tribal, salmon and river displays at Celilo Park Sunday: 10 a.m. - traditional Wash'ut service 12 noon - traditional salmon dinner 3 p.m. - Remembering Celilo: Elders share their memories and recollections of Celilo Falls and Celilo Village All day - Celilo Falls history exhibit and tribal, salmon and river displays at Celilo Park Information taken from http://www.thedalleschronicle.com/ Incoming and Outgoing messages protected by Trend Micro PC-cillin program

Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle's Files page B2 July 9, 2006 20 Years Ago, July 9, 1986 A fire driven by a strong west wind covered 300 to 500 acres of grazing land in the Klickitat Hills [Washington] before it was controlled about 8 a.m. Tuesday through the combined efforts of four fire departments and many volunteers. The fire started about 2 p.m. in the Oak Canyon area. D.W. Breshears, assistant chief of the Dallesport Fire Department said. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Klickitat County sheriff's office but fireworks may have been involved. The field surveys in the city fire department's weed abatement program are about 75 percent complete and the contract for work on property that is not in compliance with city ordinance will likely go out for bids by the end of July, Fire Chief Al Jones said. A local man has beaten the odds by graduating from U.S. Forest Service smoke jumping training and is presently based at the Redmond airport. Tim Lynch, the son of Bart and Helen Lynch, is one of 28 members of the smoke jumper unit. There were 31 when the group of 23 men and eight women started, but there is about a 40 percent washout rate in the class. 40 Years Ago, July 9, 1966 Thirteen candidates are in the race for five board positions in the proposed Wasco Rural Fire Protection District and here are eight candidates for directorships of the Mosier District. Residents in the Wasco district will vote next Tuesday on whether to organize districts and on board candidates. Wasco District candidates are Henry E. Benson, Leonard Dalbec, Robert W. Fraley, William T. Hachler, Raymond L. Jacobson, John A. Martin Sr., Lloyd H. McKay, A.L. Putnam, Marlin Sasser, Edward L. Seufert Jr., Walter J. Turkovsky, Otis Winchester and Nathan Wright. Special honors in addition to "wings" went to First Lt. Gregory J. Howe, Marine flyer from The Dalles upon completion of his final training flight in Texas. Lt. Howe was the 100th aviator graduated by training squad Twenty-Two in Kingsville, the student year that began in 1965. An election race for the position of Wasco County Assessor was developing Friday with the announcement of Roy Forman, Antelope area rancher, that he will circulate nominating petitions to get his name on the general election ballot in November. 60 Years Ago, July 9, 1946 Playgrounds of the three city grade schools are being changed to provide more suitable facilities for the pupils, James Burgess, city school superintendent pointed out today. The Court Street school grounds is being made into a two-level terrace on the south side of the building. In attendance at the national convention of the Elks Lodge, which opened yesterday in New York, are four Dalles couples. Delegate to the convention is Hans Soll, exalted ruler of the local lodge of the Elks. He was accompanied on the trip by Mrs. Soll. Also attending are R.J. Brown, alternate, and Mrs. Brown; D.V. Bolton, alternate, and Mrs. Bolton; and Mr. and Mrs. Walt Hanna. E.J. Lathrop, former Umatilla County 4-H agent, has taken over the 4-H duties in Wasco County. Lathrop will have headquarters at the county agents' office in the post office building. 80 Years Ago, July 9, 1926 Pinned under an avalanche at the Ninth Street crusher pit for more than half an hour, Clyde Buller, city employee, was dug out at about 2:30 this afternoon by fellow workers and others and taken to The Dalles hospital with a crushed foot and other possible injuries. The accident occurred when a premature blast in rocks above the loading spur brought down an small avalanche of rocks on the workmen below. Wheat fields on Mt. Hood flat should produce 40 bushels to the acre, according to the stand are netting from only 20 to 25 bushels, County Agent C.W. Daigh declared today after a grain certification trip made with B.B. Bayles of the Moro experiment station yesterday. While the yield is comparatively low, the quality was good, it was said. 100 Years Ago, July 9, 1906 Mr. A.H. Lovelace, representing the American DeForest Wireless Telegraph Co., of St. Louis is in this city to remain for perhaps a week or ten days. Mr. Lovelace states that the company proposes to establish ten stations in the state of Oregon this year and contemplates putting a station in The Dalles, connecting with other towns in Oregon. Unbounded enthusiasm prevailed at the convention of farmers held in Wasco Saturday for the purpose of discussing an organization of Oregon farmers. It was decided that the time for the tillers of the soil to band together for mutual benefit has come and a meeting will be held at Moro July 21, when permanent organization will be effected. >From Mr. and Mrs. H.R. Richards, who have spent the past few days with the Rev. and Mrs. W.J. Baldwin at Arlington, The Chronicle learns of the dedication of the Locust Grove Methodist Church, fifteen miles from Arlington yesterday.

150 Years 1857-2007 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY February 28, 2007 NEWS SHORTS A feature of unusual short stories from around the world that appeared in The Daily Mountaineer. The earthquake at San Francisco has had a fine effect in reviving the religious feelings of the people. It was much needed. A Chicago clergyman missed his stockings on Christmas morning, and after a long search found one on each horn of a new milch cow, which had been presented to him by his parishioners, and ornamented in this way to indicate that it was a Christmas gift. There appears to be considerable difficulty at the mint in putting on coins the motto, "In God we Trust." The Officers are afraid that everybody will read it, "In God we Trust." Which is much nearer the fact. A lady in New York has sued her former husband to be restored to the married state; she having been induced to procure a divorce with the creditable purpose of trying to wean him from vicious habits. She thought the whole affair was "only for fun," but the rogue of a husband, now a sober man, is determined to show her the divorce is permanent. During the week ending the 9th of December, no person was hung in Montana. The vigilantes consider themselves out of luck on account the dearth of subjects to hang. There are seventy organized petroleum companies in California. But little oil has yet been produced, and the prospects of companies are not bright. The Astoria Marine Gazette is the only newspaper in the state which has come out in favor of negro suffrage. Two men named Reilley and Shannon fought a prize fight at Helena on the 10th of March, in which the latter came out second best, having injured his wrist in the forty sixth round. Both men were then arrested and fined $50 each. A new gas, made from crude petroleum, is being introduced into Chicago. The Chicago Post says the light of the petroleum gas is fully four times greater than the light of the coal gas, and that it can be made at a much less cost. A New York clergyman has come out as a strong advocate of tobacco. He shows that it begets patience and forbearance, while the use of a pipe or cigar may be recommended as conveying a lesson that all terrestrial things are like to end in smoke. The best shooting on record is said to have been made in San Francisco, by W.R. Loud. He was engaged in a match 250 yards for $1,000, and one hundred shots, against Dr. Pardes. His 100 shots strung 192 inches - the best shooting on record. [No publication date is at the end of this column.] Incoming and Outgoing messages protected by Trend Micro PC-cillin program

150 Years 1857-2007 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY February 28, 2007 City Free of 'Hoosier Dan' and Frank Williams GONE UP THE RIVER - "Hoosier Dan" and Frank Williams were taken up to Celilo yesterday afternoon, with the intention of putting them on the morning boat for Umatilla. Williams is a dressy fellow, and might pass in most places without suspicion of being a bad character. Dan is apparently a "stoopid," with a ferocious looking jaw, and a large, unmeaning mouth. Williams was once arrested in this place, on suspicion of attempting to "go through" the pockets of some travelers sleeping at a hotel. The arrest of these men is mainly attributable to Officer Sanders of Portland, who "worked up" their cases with great diligence and shrewdness.

150 Years 1857-2007 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY February 28, 2007 Man Trap Eats Gaiter The Streets - There is at the corner of Union and Third streets a perfect man trap, which ought to have the special attention of our city authorities. In grading the street a jump off of about three feet was made, and if not attended to will result in the breaking of some person's limbs, and a consequent suit for damages against the city. We are informed on good authority that on Monday night, a lady while crossing Union at the intersection of Third Street, got mired, and in extricating herself left one of he gaiters in the mud, compelling her to go to a neighboring house and procure assistance to find the missing article. Union street is one of the principal thoroughfares in the city, and should have good crossings at every street. On Third street, between Court and Union, there is a large pond of water which, should warm weather set in, will inevitably produce sickness in that locality. Yesterday, on our visit to the public school, we found it necessary to wade ankle deep in mud at the intersection of Third and C streets, in order to reach the school. A great many children are kept from school owing to the want of crossings at the streets leading to the school house. There should be a sidewalk laid from the school house to Third Street, and crossings at the intersections of streets in order that children may be able to and from the school. These matters should have the immediate attention of the city authorities. March 6, 1866 This is the first of a 10-part series celebrating The Dalles 150 anniversary as your community news source. This is the history of The Dalles area as told by the past reporters, editors and publishers of the Daily Mountaineer and The Dalles Chronicle. The stories are reproduced as they were originally published to reflect the viewpoints of the era. At the end of the stories is the date they were published. This selection of stories from The Daily Mountianeer is intended to give readers a feel for what it was like to live in The Dalles from 1856 to 1871. We have taken these stories from what little is left from those early Mountaineer issues in The Chronicle's archives. Incoming and Outgoing messages protected by Trend Micro PC-cillin program

The officers at Susanville were immediately telephoned to and the Sheriff, Coroner, District Attorney and Dr. Dozier came out and arrested three Indians, Big Mike, Jerry Wilson and Albert Thomas.

Sapper returned a few days ago from a visit to his mines near Willow Ranch. He brought back some fine specimens of gold bearing quartz and it looks as though he has struck it rich. Walter Lorenzen of Day and Miss Ellen Bosworth, of McArthur, were married in Redding on June 12th, 1911. Mr. Lorenzen is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Lorenzen in Little Hot Spring, this county. James McAlpine, of the McAlpine Bros., returned here last week from Humboldt County, where he spent the winter. He informs us that the McAlpine Sawmill will soon be changed to a Shingle Mill and this will no doubt be a grand success, as there is a large demand for good shingles. Last Sunday, Warren Sloss had an accident with a firecracker that came near blinding him in one eye. He had tried to light a firecracker, which failed to go, so he blew on it to start it when it exploded in his eye making it very sore for a time, but we are pleased to say it will soon be alright. Harry L. Rader and family, of Willow Ranch, came to Alturas last Thursday, and next day left here for the lower part of the State to seek medical aid for their little two year old son, who is critically ill as a result of exposure while on the snowbound train of the N. C. O. during the blockade last February. The child has been given up by the local physicians and a change is now their only hope. ~~~~~~ Billie C. & Anita 'Jean' Reynolds Family Researcher of "The Last Frontier" Modoc County, California --- Our outgoing mail is checked by ZoneAlarm AntiVirus.

Darlene: Marshfield and Coos Bay, Oregon, are virtually the same. Back sometime in the early sixties, I think, the two adjoining cities voted to merge. The name "Coos Bay" was adopted for the resultant combination; although one of the high schools in the city is still named "Marshfield High School".

I am doing some research on a school in Berkeley, CA., called the Berkeley Gymnasium, a Preparatory School for the University. In the list of students for the 1881 was a Florence MULLEN, the daughter of Mrs. MULLEN, of Marshfield, OR. When I try to find the town in Rootsweb town search site it did not come up. Does anyone know where it was and what happened to it? Thanks George --------------------------------- Don't get soaked. Take a quick peak at the forecast with theYahoo! Search weather shortcut.
