The lower tax rate, anticipated in Superintendent Ken Kramer’s budget message a week ago when a levy $1 less than that supporting the current school year was proposed, may have vanished for 1984-85, when the district learned that the state school support will be $144,000 less than had been anticipated when the budget was being prepared.

The Dalles Chronicle January 25, 2004 [Text Only] “Last week’s photo showed early bridges on lower Mill Creek, where it entered the Columbia [river], long before the mouth was sealed in and the freeway birm constructed. The bridge closer to the camera was the older one for wagons. Beyond it, the Bridge with the super-structure crossed the stream at Sixth street. The white building just to the right of the center was the Robert Pentland Woolen mill which opened in the 1890s, when as much as 8,000,000 pounds of Wool came through The Dalles annually, making this the largest primary market For the commodity in the nation."

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/nZB.2ACE/204 Message Board Post: I know how hard it is to look at this without being skeptical. There are thousands of opportunites like this out there that promise the same things, why should this be any different? Well, for one, you only lose $6 and 6 stamps in the worst case scenario. But that won't happen, as with many things, if you just try. Results will obviously vary depending on how committed you are, but THIS IS IT. It doesn't get any easier. Make $6 turn into thousands in less than 2 months! Believe, and it will be so! Dear Friends: Greetings: I am a retired attorney. A few years ago a man came to me with a letter. He asked me to verify the fact that this was legal to do. I told him I would review it and get back to him. When I first read the letter my client brought me, I thought it was some “off-the-wall” idea to make money. A week and a half later we met in my office to discuss the issue. I told him the letter he originally brought me was not 100% legal. My client then asked me! to alter it to make it perfectly legal. I asked him to make one small change in the letter. I was still curious about the letter, so he explained to me how it works. I thought it seemed like a long shot, so I decided against participating. But before my client left, I asked him to keep me updated on his results. About two months later, he called me to tell me he had received over $800,000 in cash. I didn’t believe him, so he asked me to try this idea and find out for myself. I thought about it for a couple of days and decided I really didn’t have anything to lose, so I asked him for a copy of the letters. I followed the instructions exactly, mailed 200 copies, and sure enough, the money started coming in! It arrived slowly at first, but coming. I kept a precise record of the earnings, and in the end, it totaled $978,493! I could hardly believe it. I met with my friend for lunch to find out exactly how it worked. He told me there are quite a few similar lett! ers around, but this one is different because there are six names at t he end of the letter, not five like some others. This fact alone results in your name being in far more returns. The other fact was the help I gave him, making sure the whole thing was legal, since no one wants to take the risk of doing something illegal. By now you are surely curious to know what small changes to make. If you sent a letter like this one out, in order to be completely legal, you must actually sell something in order to receive a dollar in return. So when you send a dollar to each of the names on the list, you must include these words, “PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST” and include your name and address. This is the key to the program. The item you will receive for the dollar you sent to the six people below is the letter. At the time I first tried this idea, I was earning a good living as a lawyer. But everyone in the legal profession will tell you there is a lot of stress that comes with the job. I told myself if things worked out, I would! retired from my practice and play golf. I decided to try the letter again, but this time I sent 500 copies. Three months later , I had totaled $2,341,178! Here are a few reasons a person might give for not trying this program: Ø Some people think they can never make a lot of money with anything this simple. Ø Some are afraid they will be ridiculed for trying Ø Some dream of large sums of money, but do nothing to actually achieve it. Ø Some are just plain lazy. Ø Some are afraid of losing their investment. They think this program is designed to beat them out of a few dollars. The system works if you will just try it. But you must follow the simple instructions exactly, and in less than three months, you will receive $800,000 GUARANTEED! Keep what you are doing to yourself for awhile. Many will tell you it won`t work and will try to talk you out of your dreams. Let them know of your success after it works. LETTERS FROM PARTICIPANTS IN THIS PROGRAM: M! y name is David Rhodes. In 1992 my car was repossessed and bill collec tors were housing my. I was laid off and my unemployment ran out. In October of 1992, I received a letter telling me how to earn $800,000 anytime I wanted. Of course, I was skeptical. But because I was so desperate and virtually had nothing to lose, I gave it a try. In January 1993, my family and I went on a 10-day cruise. The next month I bought a brand new Mercedes with cash! I am currently building a home in Virginia and I will never have to work again. This money program really works perfectly every time. I have never failed to receive less than $500,000. This is a legitimate, money-making opportunity. It does not require you to sell anything or to come in contact with people. And , best of all, you only leave the house to mail the letters. If you have always believed that someday you would get the lucky break, then simply follow the instructions and make dreams come true. Larry McMahon, Norfolk, VA Six months ago, I received this letter and ignored it. Five more came wi! thin a period of time and I ignored them also. I was tempted, but I was convinced that they were just a Hoax. After three weeks of deliberating, I decided to give it a try ( not expecting much ). Two weeks went by and nothing happened. The fourth week was unbelievable! I caint say I received $800,000 but I received $400,000. For the first time in years, I am debt free. I am doing this again, only this time starting with 500 post. I strongly recommend that you follow the instructions exactly as outlined in this letter. INSTRUCTIONS 1. Immediately send $1.00 to each of the six people on the list at the end of this letter. Wrap the dollar bill in a note saying “ Please add me to your mailing list” and include your name and address. 2. Remove the name next to the #1 on the list and move the rest of the names up one position (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc…..) Then place your name in the #6 position. 3. When you have completed the instructions, take th! is letter and copy it,then go to (Google,Yahoo,...) and type in (Makin g Money Massege board,or post massege,...)and start posting your copy to 200 massege boards,or more this is only the mini you can post as much as you like...The more copies you send the better the results. Keep a copy of this letter so you can use it a second time. Post it out again in six months, but Post it with the addresses you receive with each dollar. It will work better the second time. NOTE: This service is 100% legal - (Refer to title 18 section 1302 of the U.S. Postal & lottery laws) How does it work? When you send out 200 Posts, it is estimated that at least 15 people will respond and send you a $1.00. ($15.00) Those 15 will Post 200 Posts each and 225 people send you $1.00 ($225.00) Those 225 people Post 200 Posts each and 3,375 people send you $1.00 ($3,375.00) Those 3,375 post 200 posts each and 759,375 people send you $1.00 ($759,375.00) At this point your name drops off the list, but so far you have received $813,615.00. P.S. When your money begins to come in! , give the first 10% to charity with spirit and share a good fortune! 1) A.J. Kaquatosh P.O.

History Mystery Photo By Rodger Nichols of The Chronicle [Text Only] Last week’s History Mystery proved to be a tough one, which yielded only one and a half correct answers. Anita Drake knew that it was the old steam-powered electrical generation plant that once stood between First and Second street [The Dalles]. Terray Harmon picks up a half-correct answer for recognizing it as a power plant but only half because he guessed it was the old one at White River. According to the caption that accompanied the photo, this was the second power plant in The Dalles, the first having been built in 1888 at Seventh and Union streets. D.M. Smith and J.W. French purchased the plant in 1892 and moved the operation to First and Laughlin streets. Slab wood fueled the engine that drove the dynamo. Output was so limited that light bulbs above 10 watts were not permitted. Customers were allowed to burn as many as 10 bulbs each evening for a monthly fee of $1.50. Wasco Warehouse Milling Co., purchased the plant in 1902 and took it out of service after completion of the hydroelectric plant at White River Falls.

History Mystery Photo The Dalles Chronicle January 11, 2004 [Text Only] Congratulations to Michael Glover, the lone sleuth who was able to identify the scene as A shot of the “downtown” section of the former community of Kingsley [Oregon], once Located about seven miles south of Dufur. The town was platted in 1893, about the time This photo was taken, but never incorporated. At one time, Kingsley boasted a store, blacksmith shop, saloon and other buildings and It was on the main highway from The Dalles to California, but when U.S. 197 was built, It bypassed the town. That, and the choice of the Great Southern Railroad to extend Its line to Friend instead of Kingsley, caused the town to wither. The name Kingsley came at the suggestion of The Dalles postmaster, Elizabeth Wilson, Who had been reading “Westward, Ho!” a book by Anglican clergyman, teacher and Writer Charles Kingsley, which was much admired at the time. According to the Wasco County Historical Society, the photo shows “Carl Roth, Dan Roule, Bill Roth, Jack D., George Hillgren, and, in cart, Jim Thrall and Boynton.” We also ran an ad from 1923, featuring Spickerman Bros, Plumbing. We weren’t Expecting any response to that, but Bill Elton called and said that the Spickerman Brothers were George and Art, and he was familiar with the family because he’d Married George’s daughter Helen, and that Helen’s sister Shirley became Shirley Sawyer.
