Sunday, October 27, 2002 Compiled by Elroy King 40 Years Ago, October 27, 1962 Linda Bellamy was recently elected president of the Young People's Foreign Mission Society of the First Church of the Nazarene. Other officers elected were Chuck Pryor, vice president; Adrian Herrick, secretary-treasurer; Ernie Cuff, prayer and fasting chairman; Judy McConnell, study chairman; and Lo Ann Hansell, publicity. Mrs. Tom Cuff is sponsor. 60 Years Ago, October 27, 1942 For the three weeks October 5 to October 24, inclusive, it was stated this morning by W. Wray Lawrence, Wasco county salvage committee chairman, trucks have collected and weighted in 666 tons of scrap metal, based on known figures for The Dalles and reports from salvage committee chairmen throughout Wasco County including the schools under the leadership of Frank Brumbaugh, county superintendent. The Wasco County Defense Council, at its meeting last night, discussed at length the placing in the windows of The Dalles homes the 4 by 5 inch defense sticker showing a white triangle inside a blue circle bearing the letters CD (civilian defense) in red inside the triangle with the words "We Stand Prepared" in the margins. These stickers already have been distributed to block wardens by Virgil Kelly, chief air raid warden, to be given to householders meeting the home defense requirements. 80 Years Ago, October 27, 1922 Colin E. Davis has withdrawn his name from the list of candidates to be voted on November 7, leaving but J.C. Egbert as a candidate for councilman from the first ward. The withdrawal was received yesterday afternoon by the city recorder in a letter. Burglars who foresaw the need for warm clothing during the cold winter days did their shopping last night when they entered the A.M. Williams & company store and generously outfitted themselves. This at least was the theory of Chief of Police Frank Heater after he had investigated the robbery which was reported early today. Bud Crofton and Hans Blaser chased S.J. Hamilton of Portland four miles yesterday as he was speeding down the highway. Crofton and Blaser were driving the former's Ford coupe about yesterday when Hamilton passed them. The two speed cops gave chase and finally overhauled the bigger car. Hamilton was fined $10 in the municipal court by judge D.L. Cates. 100 Years Ago, October 27, 1902 The partnership between Drs. Geisendorffer and Klebs having been dissolved, the latter has taken up rooms recently occupied by Dr. G.C. Eshelman in the Vogt building, a few doors west of their present office and will continue practice independently.

Mr. Lucas Henry, lately from Nebraska, entertained the alliance in an address. Mr. Henry has had considerable experience in the work of the alliance and he gave a history of the rise and progress of that organization in Nebraska. The committee on entertainment has prepared a programme for next meeting, in which there will be addresses by Messrs, Joseph Soesbe and C.L. Gilbert. "Excelsior" was adopted as the name of the alliance. The next meeting will be held Friday night, January 16th, at Barrett school house (Hood River Glacier). LOCAL BREVITIES page Three J.H.

Jewett of White Salmon (Washington), who has been visiting friends here for a week or more, returned home yesterday. Mr. J.A. Varney went to Portland yesterday, and will attend a meeting of the state horticultural society today. Hen (Honorable?) E.L. Smith has so far recovered as to be able to leave the hospital and was taken from Portland to his home in Hood River to-day. Mr. Hugh Gourlay was a passenger on yesterday's delayed train, bound for Salem (Oregon), where he will probably remain during the session of the legislature. Our old townsman, Mr. J.L. Thompson met with a terrible accident Saturday night which may leave him a cripple, or possibly cost him his life, he was a passenger on the west bound freight which leaves here at 8:10 PM. Near Bridal Vail (Oregon) the train broke in two, and Mr. Thompson went to the platform to see what was the matter. The train was not running and Mr. Thompson holding by the railing stepped off as he supposed to the ground. The night was very dark and he failed to see that he was on a trestle and so fell a distance of about twelve feet. His right leg was broken in two places above the knee. He was brought home on this morning's passenger, and is being attended by Drs. Logan and Rinehart.

Olinger, of Hood River (Oregon) is in the city. We acknowledge a pleasant call. Mr. W.B. Perry, one of Hood River's solid business men, was in the city yesterday. One of the pleasant little affairs that go to settle the question that marriage is not a failure occurred at Mrs. John Brown's last night. It is a boy. The election of city officers at Arlington Tuesday resulted as follows: Mayor, A.A. Jayne; recorder, F.C. Rollo; councilmen J.W. Smith, D. Reed, J. Jordan, F.M. Remington; treasurer, H.T. Hawson. Mr. L. Hoffman closed the contract yesterday with the board of water commissioners and engineer Lowe for the construction of the reservoir' and digging for and laying the water mains. Mr. Hoffman has begun the work of excavation and will push it to completion with all possible diligence. The court house is again in good repair though it will take a week or so to complete the finishing touches. The judge's room has been neatly papered, and is as comfortable as possible. The court room is in fine condition, better than before the fire and the other rooms have had all evidences of the fire removed and are neat and clean. Mr. Crandall who is in charge of the work can justly feel proud of it. (The Dalles experienced a fire that involved 20 city blocks). Salem correspondence states that our Colonel Nevins will in all probability be made either reading clerk of the (state) house or the chief clerk. The Colonel is one of the brightest of men and will fill any position in which he may be pleased with credit to himself and honor to his party. Wasco (county) will be pleased to see one of her favorite sons selected to fill the position of chief clerk, and we hope that Colonel Nevins will be chosen for the position. outside of his peculiar fitness for the position, he has served his party loyally and long deserves any reward it may be able to give him. Governor Moody came up from Portland yesterday morning. Mr. Wilder, of the firm of Wilder & Thompson, merchants of Goldendale, was here yesterday on a business trip. It is reported that August Buchler Esq., has resigned as a member of the board of water commissioners, but it is not made officially known as yet.

Yesterday the big clock on the court house struck, not for higher wages but for more hours.

Condon superintendent primary department. Mr. W. McD. Lewis today took the contract for digging the ditch and bringing the water from Clear creek to the Oak Grove (Oregon) country. This ditch was begun by the Oak Grove and Juniper Flat Ditch company. The completion of this ditch will make this one of the best sections of Wasco county, and the fact that Mr. McD. Lewis has taken the contract is a sufficient guaranty that it will be done. Mr. W. McD. Lewis arrived in from Wapinitia (Oregon) Tuesday evening, on his way to Portland and thence to Salem. He informs us that there has been more rain in the country around Wapinitia than between that place and The Dalles. He has made a proposition to the Wapinitia folks to complete the Clear lake ditch, and it is probable arrangements will be made by which the work will be done in the spring. It would be of immense benefit to three or four townships, and should be completed as soon as possible. PROBATE COURT In the matter of the estate of Daniel Bolton, deceased. Hearing of final account, ordered and adjudged that the administration of said estate be allowed to be closed, and said estate fully settled. In the matter of the estate of W.H.
