Snippets of The Dalles Area Local History May 14, 2006 Page A8 and May 21, 2006, page B3 By Rodger Nichols of The Chronicle Text only Our mystery picture from last week depicts the interior of The Dalles Electric Light Company (1888-1892). We thought people might recognize it because it was on the Wasco County Pioneer Association picture board located in the lobby of The Chronicle for a two-week period, and many people stopped to look at that board. A caption on the board lists the people in the photo, from left, as plant manager Hugh Glenn, George Ruch, and bookkeeper Mr. McGovern (no first name listed). "A steam plant," the caption read, "located at Seventh and Union. Sawdust fuel came from Johns Lumber Mill at 14th and Trevitt. It operated at night only. Rates: ten 10-watt globes for $1.50 per month. The company furnished the globes. This office was downtown." Incoming and Outgoing messages protected by Trend Micro PC-cillin program
