    1. [ORHOODRI] Rev. E. Delos Howell (Hood River, Oregon) A Bigamist
    2. Earline Wasser
    3. Weekly Shasta Courier Sat., April 22, 1893 REV. E. DELOS HOWELL A BIGAMIST The people of Adin as well as Surprise Valley will remember Rev. E. Delos Howells, and will be interested in the following from the Hood River (Or.) Glazier of March 4th. The Rev. Howells is also known in Shasta county, and the editor of the McCloud River Pioneer remembers him to the value of an overcoat loaned him at Bartle on the promise of being returned, but the garment, warm of the material of the sheeps clothing was never returned, so it is concluded in the light of recent developments, that it covered the back of a "wolf" and an object of mistaken accommodation. Says the report: "Hood River has a case calling for condemnation and pity. The former for a weak man, the latter for an injured woman. The Rev. Delos Howells is the man, his wife the woman. We knew of the matter five weeks ago, but refrained from giving it publicity, but since it has become common property we append a brief review of the matter, to put it in its proper light. The story Mr. Howells tells is this: He left a wife and family in Nebraska in 1886 and went to California. There he heard that his wife had secured a divorce from him. Believing this story, he proposed to a lady who has passed for his wife here, and was married to her in Cottonwood, Cal., in 1887. Last fall while in Ferndale, Washington, he met an old friend from Nebraska, and through his family writing to Mr. Howells' folks in Nebraska, he learned that his information concerning his wife having been divorced from him is false, and that in fact no divorce had been procured. In January of this year he first stated the subject to the woman he had so deeply wronged. To her it was as if a thunder-bolt had fallen, but she bravely did what duty required of her, separating from the man she had called husband. As we have said this is his story and his alone, and whether true or not, it is really so, in one particular that Mr. Howells had a wife living whose rights were prior to those of the brave little woman here who was so honestly and earnestly assisting him in building up a home. To her he had always represented that his first wife was dead, and the statement that she was not only alive, but still the legal wife of Mr. Howells, was the first indication Mrs. Howells had that the oft repeated death-bed scene invented by him was false. It is a blow to her from which she will never recover, and yet no shadow of blame can attach to her in the matter. Mrs. Howells has both the sympathy and respect of all who know her. Mr. Howells will probably not be seen here again, and his sphere of usefulness in the pulpit, has suddenly become very much circumscribed. Since the woman he has so deeply wronged can find words of palliation for his conduct, we refrain from expressing an opinion, that would certainly not be flattering to the subject of this article."

    1. [ORHOODRI] The Dalles Daily Chronicle, Friday March 11, 1892
    2. Earline Wasser
    3. The Dalles Daily Chronicle Friday, March 11, 1892 LOCAL BREVITIES H. Sichel of Prineville (Oregon) is in the city. A.V. Anderson of Tygh Valley (Oregon), is in town. Henry Hahn of Portland, is registered at the Umatilla House. S. Frichter wants to buy scrap iron, of a certain kind. See ad. P.J. Nickolas will leave on Sunday evening for a short trip to Oakland, California. It is reported that Harry Fowler has been reinstated in his old position of passenger conductor. Conductor Clint Thomas has taken Mr. Fowler’s caboose. William M. Barnett, president of the Sherman county bank of Wasco (Oregon), advertises for bids for the erection of a one story brick building in the town of Wasco. Mr. and Mrs. L.J. Klinger, of Dufur (Oregon), were in town today. Mr. Klinger says it is reported out at Dufur that every man in The Dalles is a candidate for office, except three. Who the happy triplet are Louis did not know. In another column Messrs. Gibons and Huntington advertise for the construction of a foundation and chimneys for the new Congregational church, soon to be built in this city. J.F. Brown, of Indiana, W. Worden of Nebraska, and S.B. Robberson from the Willamette valley, went out this morning on the Wapinitia (Oregon) stage, with the intention of purchasing land or locating claims in that part of the country. These gentlemen have been in The Dalles for several days past and they are much pleased with the climate and general appearance of things in Eastern Oregon. The gentlemen seem to be of the class of settlers that this country needs, young, energetic and sober men who are not afraid of work and are possessed of sufficient means to give them a good start. Mr. J.C. Lucky, Indian Agent at the Warm Springs (Oregon) is in the city. ……….. Hatching out on the reservation and in the Oak Grove county by the thousands and fears are entertained that they may repeat the mischief they did last year when they destroyed grain, grass and garden truck over a wide area. A lamp was upset last night in one of Honorable E.B. Dufur’s up-stairs rooms and the fire communicating with the window curtain a lively time was had for a little time smothering the flames with blankets and bed clothes. The fire was soon extinguished and with only nominal damage. BROTHERHOOD OF PILOTS AND MASTERS A delegation of Masters and Pilots from Willamette harbor No. 23, of the American Brotherhood, met at Masonic hall in this city last night and initiated Capt. John McNulty of the steamer D.S. Baker, Capt. Fred Wilson of the Regulator, and Capt. H.C. Coe of Hood River. Among the delegation of officers and members of the Brotherhood present were: Capt. W.H. Patterson, U.P.R. steamship Pilot, Captain; Capt. S.V. Short, of the steamer Dalles City, First Pilot; Capt. L.A. Bailey, of the Coos bay steamship Willapa; Capt. Charles Kamm of the steamer Ocean Wave; and Capt. Joe Turner of the steamer J. Ordway. The American Brotherhood of Masters and Pilots is a National organization of men fraternizing of the advancement of the transportation service, by sea and river, for the protection of their mutual interests; the interest of the public; and of company, corporate or personal property entrusted to their care in the performance of duty. It has a very extended field for its operation, embracing nearly every port and harbor of consequence in the United States, and its influence is felt in foreign tributary ports on the Pacific coast, from British Columbia to Mexico. Their meeting in The Dalles, was perhaps the first one of any kind ever held in the Masonic hall, of this city outside the limit of that order, and the officers of the Brotherhood wished to have the CHRONICLE publicly mention the fact that they gratefully appreciate the favor. They also desire us to extend thanks to the Dalles, Portland and Astoria Navigation company for courtesies which will be duly remembered. DALLES BOYS TO THE FRONT The SOUTH BEND TRIBUNE, of February 23rd, contains a long account of an entertainment given on Washington’s birthday, at the Notre Dame, Indiana University by the Thespian society of that institution, in which two Dalles boys Messrs. N.J. and R.B. Sinnott took leading parts and according to the TRIBUNE acquitted themselves with marked ability. The play presented was Shakespeare’s Julius Caeser and in the cast the part of Cassius was assigned to N.J. Sinnott, while that of Lucilius was assigned to his brother, R.B. Sinnott. The TRIBUNE says the tragedy was the finest effort ever seen upon the local stage, with students as interpreters, particularly mentioning a scene in which Mr. N.J. Sinnott took a leading part as “particularly fine and, in fact, the best part of the play.” BEFORE THE RECORDER The city jail contained a general all round, thoroughbred hobo last night. He begged food in various parts of the city and when he did not get permission to partake of it in the best parlor he amused himself by threatening advances toward the lady donors. Having filled his worthless hide with solids he made a begging raid on the saloons for liquor to wash the solids down. Here, the marshal came upon his trail and pulled him in. Jack Stanels will use him in his business for the next few days. COMING TOO LATE, possibly Salem, March 10 – Articles were filed in the secretary of states’ office today of the Portland and Pacific railroad company. The incorporators are D.W. Lichtemhaler, A.C. Rowland and C.D. Lownsdale. The capital stock is $1,500,000. The object is to build and operate a railroad from Portland to a point on the Pacific ocean in Clatsop county.

    1. [ORHOODRI] History Mystery Photo The Dalles Chronicle September 14, 2003
    2. Earline Wasser
    3. The Dalles Chronicle September 14, 2003 History Mystery Photo (Text Only) We had a huge response to last week's photo, which showed The Great Pineapple War at the old Port of The Dalles docks which began September 28, 1949. A Hawaiian businessman wanted to ship a bargeload of pineapple products to land at The Dalles and be trucked to San Francisco. According to minutes of the meeting, a Teamsters Union official was present and assured the commisioners of full cooperation, but the dockworkers weren't so happy about the situation. A number of them arrived from Portland to break up the unloading. In the picture, out-of-towners were trying to overturn one of the trucks. That day, two truckers were pulled from a cab and beaten, trucks and a dock crane were disabled, and cartons of pineapple already loaded onto trucks were dumped into the river. Later, the site was picketed by the Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union. Earl Ayres of The Dalles, e-mailed us: "I was present at the site, and was interviewed after the event was over. I was later called to testify at the trial in the federal court house in Portland. It was a rather scary situation sitting in that seat answering questions and at the same time looking at a large group of goon type individuals looking back at you from the crowded courtroom. When I was finished in court, I left immediately back to Seattle (Washington) as I had been called back to active duty in the Navy. At Christmas that year we received a full case of pineapple from the Dole Pineapple Company." Eventually, with a court injunction against union picketing, and 15 special deputies acted as guards, the pineapples were unloaded.

    2. Earline Wasser
    3. The Dalles Chronicle July 20, 2003 History Mystery Photo (Text Only) Guessers for last week's mystery sorted themselves into three catagories: the Lyle (Washington) bunch, the Miller's Island {situated in the Columbia River near the Deschutes river-transcriber's note} crowd and the Maryhill (Washington) gang. As it happens, the latter were correct, as John Thomas brought in a book with the caption naming the photo as showing the Maryhill ferry in 1906. Other winners were Ruth Wilbur, Pat Arthur, Eugene Tsubota and Paulen Kaseberg. Eugene Tsubota added, "My father was raised in Bingen (Washington) and moved to Maryhill in the early to mid-1930s. He used to tell me stories of all the sheep manure they used to truck down from the Columbia Hills to help build up the soil...I think the shot is from a place the locals call 'the cove'. There is still some of the sandy beach there, but the shrubs have mostly taken over now." Paulen Kaseberg said his wife's father operated the ferry, hauling mostly sheep, livestock, wood and lumber. He remembers a copy of this picture hanging in the Imperial Hotel in Portland. For picture information contact Rodger Nichols, 541-506-4603; e-mail rnichols@eaglenewspapers.com or fax: 541-298-1365.

    1. [ORHOODRI] Looking Back: A Glimpse Through the Chronicle's Files July 20, 2003
    2. Earline Wasser
    3. Looking Back: A Glimpse Through the Chronicle's Files July 20, 2003 Researched and assembled each week by Elroy King. 20 Years Ago, July 20, 1983 One firefighter was injured and one collapsed from exhaustion during an all night battle to control a 100-acre brush fire between Orchard and Skyline Road Tuesday. A lightning strike set the fire, which was reported at 6 p.m. Some firemen were on the scene mopping up hot spots today. Wasco Rural Fire Chief Otis Winchester said no structures were involved. Judson Baptist College has pre-registered 260 students and expects 300 this fall compared to less than 200 who completed the spring term, JBC president Dr. Roger Crabbs told The Dalles Chamber of Commerce Monday. It was the first preregistration held by the school and it paid off, Crabbs said. Clark Lockridge, Larry Knosella and Kevin Carbis all won singles and doubles events in the annual Fort Dalles Tennis Tournament held over the weekend at the Mt. Hood Athletic and Court Club. Lockridge, competing in the men's open division won the singles title and then teamed with the man he beat in the finals to win the doubles title. His partner was Mike Maynard. 40 Years Ago, July 20, 1943 A federal grant of $85,000 for construction of a sanitary sewage collection facility at Dufur (Oregon) has been approved by the Housing and Home Finance Agency of the Community Facilities Administration, according to a telegram received yesterday from Oregon Senators Wayne Morse, Maureen Newberger and Representative Al Ullman. The money, which will be matched with local funds, is in addition to a $22,000 grant by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare announced Tuesday. Total cost of the new collection and dewage treatment plant will be $220,000. About 98 percent of the work will be completed when dedication ceremonies start at 2 p.m. tomorrow at the new convent and multipurpose room at St. Mary's Academy, contractor Walter Van Horn of Mid-State Construction Company reported Friday afternoon. Last m8inute cleanup was underway Friday to get the buildings ready for ceremonies Sunday in the new combined gymnasium-auditorium. 60 Years Ago, July 20, 1943 Warning was issued today by The Dalles war price and rationing board that, should many more protests be received by the board from local renters, it might become necessary to impose OPA rent controls in Wasco county. The board called attention to a fact that few people here know; that Wasco County this past spring was declared a defense rental area, in compliance with President Roosevelt's stabilization order of October 3, 1942. Venice C. Yenger was arrested by the city police last night on complaint of a local cafe proprietor that he was annoying women in the restaurant. The man was still being held this morning after being subjected to questioning by the police for a complete record of his case. 80 Years Ago, July 20, 1923 Reverend Frank Maples, formerly pastor of the local Congregational church was one of 16 men singly honored in Chicago recently according to a copy of the POST-TRIBUNE dated Tuesday, June 5, 1923. Sixteen officers and men of General Haller's army, who fought in the world war received the Polish decoration, the cross of valor, for service rendered and various deeds done while in that service. 100 Years Ago, July 20, 1903 While The Dalles is thoroughly alive along most lines, one thing it is sadly deficient in is regarding its opportunities of self improvement in a literary way. An effort is now under way to provide for this deficiency next winter by organizing a lecture course. The instigator is Dr. Waggoner, who is now in the city, and with Reverend D.V. Poling will canvass the town tomorrow to see what encouragement will be met with. In the course contemplated as such speakers as Rabbi Wise of Portland and President McClish of the University of California. One year ago tomorrow evening the Young Men's Institute, composed of young men of the Catholic church, was organized in The Dalles by Mr. Webber. While outsiders may not have heard much about it, it has been steadily growing and today numbers about thirty-six active members.

    2. Earline Wasser
    3. Looking Back: A Glimpse Through the Chronicle's Files September 14, 2003 Researched and compiled each week by Elroy King. 20 Years Ago, September 14, 1983 It appears the Antelope (Oregon) school is still scheduled to open September 19 but the question of teachers is still not settled. A proposal by the Rajneesh commune to furnish volunteer teachers for the school, open it for grades K-12 was left to stand Tuesday night but a discussion of continuing teacher Penny Marston as desired by ranchers in the area ran into Rajneesh objections. St. Peters Landmark in The Dalles is getting a fresh coat of paint for the first time in 11 years. Fisher Painting and Drywall is putting a coat of Traveltime, an orange colored paint on the wood trim. 40 Years Ago, September 14, 1963 At the request of counsel for both parties, Judge Peter Gunnar of the Oregon Tax Court yesterday granted a continuance until Monday, September 23, in the Harvey Aluminum State Tax Commission case. The court earlier had planned to reconvene the trial in The Dalles Monday, September 16. 80 Years Ago, September 14, 1923 The first unit of a new three story concrete hospital for the Hamilton brothers, will be started at the corner of Fourth and Washington within the next ten days or two weeks. Announcement that plans for building are being prepared by E.C. Price, a local architect, was made yesterday. The unit is to be erected at a cost of $25,000. As soon as the plans are completed the building operation will commence if present expectations carry. The new hospital will be on the same grounds where the present temporary hospital is now situated. 100 Years Ago, September 14, 1903 Great improvements have been going on at the Baldwin and so marked are they that one hardly recognizes the place. Tomorrow (Tuesday) it will be opened with a grand ball, to which all are invited. Birgfield's orchestra is to furnish the music and the affair will be first class in every particular. Admission will be but 50 cents. The river is chock a block with salmon these days; more than can be used being caught with seines at Celilo (Oregon) every day. The cannery is running all day and half the night, disposing of twenty five tons a day.

    3. The Dalles Chronicle September 21, 2003 History Mystery Photo (Text Only) Last week's stumper, proved to be a tough one. Willis Gholston and Terray Harmon both knew that it was a blacksmith's shop. A good guess would have been the Thompson blacksmith shop, since at one time there were three different blacksmith shops by that name. This one was located on East Third, just east of the current CHRONICLE building. A George T. Thompson was located at the southeast corner of Second and Madison, and a John L. Thompson on northeast corner of Third and Madison. For information, contact: Rodger Nichols, 541-506-4603 or e-mail rnichols@eaglenewspapers.com or fax: 541-298-1365.

    3. Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle’s Files September 21, 2003 20 Years Ago, September 21, 1983 A $25,000 Antelope (Oregon) school operating levy for the 1983-84 school year was voted down Tuesday 7 yes, 359 no. In the city of Antelope the vote was 2 yes, 52 no and at the Muddy Ranch the vote was 5 yes, 307 no. Antelope school board member Swami Deva Wadud, who proposed the levy vote after two earlier levy attempts had been handily defeated, said he personally voted down the “levy” Tuesday. He added that he had recommended people vote against it. 40 Years Ago, September 21, 1963 One of the top awards at the annual convention of the Photographic Society of America will go to Mrs. Francis Seufert of The Dalles. A color slide titled “Road Patterns” was selected as winner of the Nicholas Memorial Award for best photographic composition. Mrs. Seufert took the picture last February of Emerson Loop Road southeast of The Dalles. One hundred and six 4-H and FFA meat animals sold for $16,052.50 at the annual Sherman Cattlemen’s Association auction Saturday, September 14, at the Sherman County Fair. County extension agent Thomas Thompson reported that 28 sheep brought an average of 51.9 cents per pound and 39 steers averaged 31.2 cents per pound. The Dufur (Oregon) Rangers scored twice in the third quarter to achieve a 20-7 victory over Culver (Oregon) in the Deschutes League football opener here Friday afternoon. Quarterback Mike Hood swept the ends for two touchdowns, one in the first quarter and another in the third and end Richard Stafford took a pass to score the third Ranger TD. 60 Years Ago, September 21, 1943 A case of diphtheria has been reported at Moro (Oregon), according to information given by Dr. Ethel Reuter, county health officer. Dr. Reuter warns parents and school authorities that the danger of contagion is not necessarily lessened by the small size of a community and urges people to take steps to secure immunization immediately, either through the health department or from their personal physician. 80 Years Ago, September 21, 1923 The first meeting of the season for the committee for the furnishing of the community room at the civic auditorium a composite community representing various women’s organizations of the city which voted to continue their work of furnishing the civic auditorium throughout the coming year, met yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock in the community room. Mrs. Lulu Crandall, chairman, presided over the meeting. A.E. Crosby of The Dalles was elected first vice president of the Oregon Pharmaceutical association in convention at Pendleton (Oregon) yesterday, according to advices reaching this city today. Mrs. H.L. Hallyburton of Ortley (Oregon) left yesterday for Monmouth (Oregon) where her three daughters, Annie, Louise and Evelyn will enter school. The misses Annie and Louise will attend the State Normal, while Evelyn will attend the grade school. Miss Annie Hallyburton is a senior this year at the Normal school. 100 Years Ago, September 21, 1983 Caught at their own game might not be amiss when referring to the gamblers who were robbed at Arlington a few nights ago. That was one way to get even with them. While the wrong of gambling does not justify those who did the robbing, at the same time it isn’t like robbing a poor woman of her money. Many a poor woman is robbed of what rightly belongs to her by her husband spending it for liquor and gambling games. The Ziegler family are in ill luck as far as sickness is concerned. Mr. Ziegler has just recovered from his siege of typhoid fever sufficiently to be around when Mrs. Ziegler was taken ill with stomach and bowel troubles and it was feared she would not recover. She, however, is much better today.

    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/nZB.2ACE/178.2.1 Message Board Post: Hi Daroline, You can't imagine how long I have been searching for information on you and your brother. I only found out that you existed about three or four years ago. I got the Hood River location off the funeral records for your mom and dad. When I finally located two of grandpa's nephews the bible records of Eliza Taylor (your dad's mother) and she had noted your name and birth as January 25, 1933 and your brother as November 13, 1922. She did have his name down as Edward Joseph though, not James Edward.. I am living in Spring, TX which is about 40 miles from downtown Houston and we have been here for almost 10 years now. The Taylor Family Association, here in TX has been compiling a history of the family, now I will need to get a little info from you and hopefully it won't be too late to add it to the book which should be out before the end of the year. If you can, let me know a little about your family and your brothers. (name, date and place of birth/ death of spouses, children. I have all the info on your mom and dad, including a copy of their marriage certificate, November 30, 1920 in Globe, Gila, Arizona. Is your brother and his wife still living? I have a temporary death date of March 05, 1995 for Edward in Seattle but now I see that is wrong, since his first name is James, not Edward. I have a lot of genealogy on the Taylor family but really haven't worked on it much these past 10 months. I have been having a battle with Cancer and am hoping this last surgery took care of it. In fact, this is the first time I have been on the computer since July and what a wonderful surprise I got with your message. Ph. (281) 255-3116 e-mail <btaylor@wt.net> address: 25027 Rettendon Ct.

    3. The Dalles Daily Chronicle December 31, 1890 page three LOCAL BREVITIES Mr. C.R. Bone of Hood River (Oregon) is in the city. Judge Dysart, of Centralia, Washington, is in the city. Dr. H. Logan who has been spending a few days in Portland has returned home. Dr. J.J. Steiner who has been spending a few days in Portland, returned this morning. J.H. Larsen arrived home from Walla Walla (Washington) to-day bringing with him a race horse and a speeding cart. There will be a shooting match at live pigeons on the beach (Oregon shore)tomorrow. Joles Bros. furnishing the pigeons. [Transcriber's notes: These shooting matches were a yearly event at the seaside]. Mr. Merrill T. Fish, of Albany (Oregon) at one time foreman in the SUN office here is in the city visiting friends. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hislop of Tacoma (Washington) arrived this morning and are visiting their daughter Mrs. E. Jacobsen. Thomas and Isaac Joles made another raid on the Sherman county geese last Saturday returning home Monday with 45. G.W. Joles won the leather medal for bad shooting at the last meeting of the Club and wears it on his vest like a little man. Mr. J.H. Middleton of Hood River who has been at Boise City (Idaho) for several weeks, passed down on the passenger [train] yesterday morning. Thomas A. Hudson, fire insurance agent has handed the CHRONICLE a very handsome calendar of the Liverpool London and Globe company, which has on it all the storm signals. It is gotten up in an exceedingly handsome manner. Scott & McCoy of Grant (Oregon) shipped thirty-five carloads of wheat one day last week. Cars are getting plentiful, which indicates that the worst of the wheat blockade is over. It has cost the farmers whole lots of money, and the same state of affairs is liable to arise any year unless the Columbia [river] is utilized for carrying away our wheat crops. SHOOTING AT MITCHELL Johnny Bilyeu arrived here yesterday after a doctor, bringing the news of a shooting scrape that occurred in front of the dance hall at Mitchell (Oregon) about 1 o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Bilyeu knew but little of the circumstances of the difficulty more than Amis and his brother had some trouble with the Magee brothers in front of the hall and three shots, were fired, two by Marsh and one by Bob Magee, one of which took effect in Amis' right groin. Mr. Bilyeu left shortly after the shooting, but when he left it was supposed that the Magees had skipped out, neither of them having been arrested. Dr. Belknap left yesterday afternoon for Mitchell to attend the wounded man. Sheriff Booth also went over to look after the men who did the shooting -- OCHOCO REVIEW Mr. Z.P. JOnes, of Moro (Oregon), is in the city. He is the gentleman in charge of the Sherman county toll road, and informs us that the statements made about his collecting one and two dollars toll for a two-horse team are incorrect. The court allows him sixty cents but he charges only fifty cents.

    3. Looking Back:A Glimpse Through The Chronicle's Files September 7, 2003 compiled and edited by Craig Coleman 20 Years Ago, September 7, 1983 Rejecting arguments that 13 Indian defendants could not get a fair trial in this area, Circuit Court Judge John Jelderks Tuesday refused to dismiss charges against 13 Indian defendants accused of illegal fishing and hunting. Their attorney, Jack Schwartz, argued that "extremely biased, racist" media coverage of the defendants' arrest and the circumstances surrounding them made it impossible for them to get a fair trial anywhere in the Northwest. 40 Years Ago, September 7, 1963 The old livestock pens near Sunshine Biscuits mill went up in smoke this morning. City firemen set fire to a windrow of material from the pens, which were torn down by Ken Sauter, employed for this job by Union Pacific Railroad. The pens, used for many years as a loading point, were in the area that will be covered by Brewery Grade interchange. 60 Years Ago, September 7, 1943 The American daylight bombing campaign against Germany now has No. 1 priority on U.S. heavy bomber production, General Henry H. Arnold, chief of U.S. army air forces, declared today, and it will be intensified in "the near future" with far bigger bombers able to operate in less favorable weather than Flying Fortresses. Resumption of school in The Dalles today found enrollment in the elementary grades the highest since 1939, and high school enrollment down substantially, it was revealed by Paul R. McCulloch, superintendent of schools. Elementary grade enrollment totaled 705, divided as follows:Court street, 178; Joseph G. Wilson, 161; Colonel Wright 169 and 37 pupils over last year's opening day enrollment which was 668. Aviation Cadet Ernest A. Miles, of class 43-35, on August 28 successfully completed the flexible aerial gunnery course at the army air forces school, Laredo, Texas, according to information received in The Dalles today. He was sent there on completion of his preflight training. 80 Years Ago, September 7, 1923 A party of seven businessmen will leave The Dalles tomorrow night on a hunting trip to the Blue Mountains, south of Pendleton (Oregon). Camp will be made by the following: Dr. Fred Thompson, Dr. A.B. INgram, Roy Marcam, J. Ingram of Hillsboro (Oregon), H.L. Kuck, W.M. Swick and J.H. Weiss. They will be gone until September 15. 100 Years Ago, September 7, 1903 In a fortnight the spectacular play "Mystic Midgets" will be given under the direction of the Guild of the St. Paul's church. All boys and girls who will take part are requested to be at the Vogt tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Peters especially requests the forty funny boys to be on hand. Dancing masters have come to the conclusion that the two-step is usurping the popularity of the waltz, and at their convention last week decided to push the old-time waltz to the fron(t?) making it and the five-step schottishe the most fashionable dance this season.

Linda Horton and Judy Bailey, great-granddaughters of the Obarr family that owned the hotel, called to say the four people on the balcony are George and Maude Obarr and their children Julian and Alexander. They said the hotel was located on Second Street just west of where Turner's Furniture stands today.

    2. Earline Wasser
    3. Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicles Files August 31, 2003 researched and compiled by Craig Coleman 20 Years Ago, August 31, 1983 A student ministries program has been introduced at Judson Baptist College under the direction of Calvin L. Russel from Battleground, Washington. The program will involve students in various kinds of outreach ministry into the community and beyond and has the goal of being of mutual benefit to the area churches, the participating students, the college and the community. 40 Years Ago, August 31, 1963 President Kennedy will visit Oregon as part of a 10-state tour of conservation and natural resource areas late next month, the White House announced today. The White House said no details of times or places were available, but Representative Edith Green, D-Oregon, said in Washington D.C. that Kennedy planned to speak in Portland Saturday, September 28, at a dedication of the city's new high rise public housing project for the aged. The Dalles police were investigating three break-ins today, at least two of which may have been accomplished by the same persons. In one of the business places entered, The Dalles TV Co. at 409 Union Street, a safe was peeled and an estimated $117 taken. The other business hit some time during the middle of the night were The Dalles Soda Works warehouse on Bargeway Road and the Pacific Power and Light Co. building at Second and Court streets downtown. 60 Years Ago, August 31, 1943 George Barker of the Riverview Dairy at 9:50 last night was slugged in the head by an unknown assailant, on Washington Street near the entrance to the alley midway between First and Second streets, and left lying there bruised and unconscious. He is now at The Dalles hospital, suffering loss of memory, but was not unconscious on his arrival at the hospital. The monthly report of Fire Chief Charles Roth Jr., to be submitted to the city council Wednesday night, September 8, will show that 39 lots were burned over during August, and cleared of weeds, dry grass and rubbish. The revetment from Madison Street to the eastern city limits also was burned to lessen the summer fire menace to adjoining property. 100 Years Ago, August 29, 1903 Grants Pass, Ore - The discovery of a blow-snake over four feet in length languidly enjoying himself in the parlor caused considerable excitement at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Gabbert, of this city a few days ago. Mrs. Gabbert and her children were in the parlor at the time and were not aware of the reptile's presence till it dragged itself out into the middle of the room. Such a small thing as a gold ring set in turquoise lying on the floor in front of the door this morning, caused quite a sensation when Mr. Young entered the store of I.C. Nickelsen about 7 o'clock. It is not the custom at that store to keep the rings on the floor at night, but rather in a show case covered with a canvass. Therefore the stray ring led him to investigate further before opening up.
