The Dalles Daily Chronicle, Friday, December 26, 1890 Front page A PENDLETON CHRISTMAS SHOOTING Pendleton, Or. Dec. 26 - Scolly Marchbank was shot here yesterday by a man known as "Hobo". The Shooting was caused by a quarrel over a small amount due "Hobo" from Marchbank. Marchbanks condition is serious. "Hobo" is now in jail. IT WILL BE SENSATIONAL. Portland's Mayor Sued by Mrs. Collier for $10,400. Portland, Dec. 26 - Mrs. M. Collier today began suit in the Circuit court against Van B. DeLashmutt mayor of this city to recover the sum of $10,400. The complaint is of a sensational nature and is characterized by the defendant as an attempt to extort money. page two Colonel T.A. Houghton was surprised in camp and his headquarters taken possession of by the officers of the Third regiment Christmas night. Advancing upon the defenseless Colonel, they stood him up and presented him with a beautiful sword. Colonel Nevius who is a gifted speaker made the presentation address in his happiest vein, and Colonel Houghton although taken entirely byu surprise and gently embarrassed by this inexpected recognition of his merits, replied in a manner that proves he is an orator as well as a soldier. The sword is a very handsome one having the inscription, "Presented to Col. T.A. Houghton, 3rd Regiment, O.N.G. (Oregon National Guard) by the officers," on the blade. It is on exhibition in Mr. Garretson's window and attracts much attention. MARRIED page three In this city by Reverend W.E. Curtis, December 25, at the residence of T.S. Hodgson, Miss Marianna R. White to Mr. Wilburt L. Lall, both of The Dalles. LOCAL BREVITIES H.H. Sutcliff, of Goldendale (Washington), is in the city. Reverend G.H. Hutchinson, late pastor of The Dalles Presbyterian church spent Christmas in the city. Honorable D.J. Cooper, U.S. swamp land commissioner, arrived home to-day by the delayed train from the East, where he has been on official business since July last. Mr. Otto Kohlu, of Kohlu & Carlin, great sheep men of the Bake Oven (Oregon) district, was in the city yesterday. He reports stock in excellent condition but if the country could get more rain the farming interests and grass would be benefitted. A crate of demijohns [a large bottle usually encased in wickerwork] was received by Mr. Alloway this morning, all empty. There were not intended as a Christmas present but will each be filled with water from the railroad tanks, and sent back to Omaha (Nebraska) for analysis, so that the effect of the water on the boilers can be determined. AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE Henry Deerhake is lying in one of the rooms over Skibbe's restaurant with a bullet hole in his right breast, and a pistol bullet lodge, probably near his backbone. The wound is self inflicted and while he claims the shooting was accidental, all the circumstances surrounding the case force one to the conclusion that it was suicidal. He had an eight-horse team loaded with freight for Priveville (Oregon), but it is said indulged in Christmas festivities which included gambling, rather more than he ought to have done. His team was at Brooks & Beers' and about 4:00 o'clock Wednesday evening he entered their store and asked Mr. Beers if he had fed the team. Mr. Beers told him, that as he had not made his appearance in the morning, he had the team fed at 9:00 o'clock, Deerhake asked him if he could have them fed again that night to which Mr. Beers made some remark about taking care of it himself instead of running around, but upon Deerhake insisting told him he would have the team taken care of Deerhaker (sp) went out, but stopped in the door and said, "The team is good for its feed isn't it?" Mr. Beers told him it was and he went out and around to the corral. Between 4 and 5 o'clock Mr. Beers and another man went out to feed the team. Mr. Beers thought he heard a groan, but not seeing anyone paid no attention to it. Hearing it again he looked under the sled at the near end of the building, and seeing some object (it was getting quite dark) examined it to find that it was Deerhake. To his inquiries Deerhake at first made no reply, but finally said, "I have shot myself." Mr. Beers went after a light and Mr. Williams, the firm bookkeeper, went after a doctor. Being asked if it was an accident he made no reply but finally said: "I was taking the pistol from my vest. I had it in my hand." His coat is powder burned and shows that the shot was fired from the out side of it, and contradicts his story of taking it from his vest. The bullet entered about an inch below and the same distance back of the right nipple. Mr. Beers found the pistol empty, and Durhaker (sp) told him he fired the balance of the shots through the roof of the shed, which he did as four bullet holes are visible. The wound is a dangerous one the chances of his recovery being very slim. Messrs Brooks & Beers had his wagons unloaded at such places as the goods are shipped from. His conversation indicates very clearly that it was an attempt at suicide, and one that will in all probability be successful. The Christmas tree of the A.O.U.W. at K. of P. hall Christmas night was one of the most pleasant affairs of the kind of the year. The Christmas tree was a splendid big fellow and loaded with fuit. The hall was crowded to its utmost capacity and everybody was in that particularly happy frame of mind which Christmas and the knowledge of making others happy always brings. Colonel Nevius made a short bus (but) "good of the order" and urging the ladies to work enegetically for it, as its objects was principally to provide for them. After the presents are distributed, a grab bag decided the ownership of a doll and a drum, presented by the lodge, a daughter of Paul Kreft getting the former and Master D.E. Fisher the latter. W.S. Myers received a magnificent squash, and several of the members, dolls. One of them got two but which one deponent [one who testifies under oath, esp. in writing] sayeth not.

The Dalles Chronicle April 27, 2003 page A7 (Text Only) Several folks knew last week's photo, which was taken from an old postcard. As Robert Agidius said in an e-mail, "That is the George Cooper house, then The Glenn Cooper house and then the Dave Cooper House. It is on the 100 year farm on Dry Hollow Road southeast of The Dalles." Terray Harmon said he worked on the ranch for four years in his youth, and that Cooper Spur on Mt. Hood was named for a brother of the Coopers who settled here. For photo information contact Rodger Nichols at 541-506-4603. or E-mail rnichols@eaglenewspapers.com or fax 541-298-1365.

The Dalles Chronicle April 27, 2003 Compiled by Elroy King 20 Years Ago, April 27, 2003 Two The Dalles teams came away with top prizes in the State Eagles Bowling Tournament held during the first three weekends in April at Recreation Lanes. In men's doubles, Harvey Baumgarden and Bob Masters took the lead on the first weekend and kept it. They combined for a total pin fall of 1318, including a 288 game by Baumgarden. Portage Inn of The Dalles won the women's team title with a score of 2997. Bowlers on that team were Annette Hartwig, Lori Lick, Joan Eaton, Marian Lick and Sharon Harth. Three students from The Dalles Junior High have been selected to participate in the Summer Enhancement Program at the University of Oregon between June 28 and August 6. Picked for the program were Theresa Dwyer, Jeff Staver and Michelle Thompson, all seventh graders. The summer program is designed for those students who have demonstrated a high performance in one or more of several areas. 40 Years Ago, April 27, 1963 Giles French announced this week in the Sherman County Journal at Moro (Oregon) that he and his wife are selling the newspaper which he has published since 1931 to Dan C. Bartlett of Hermiston (Oregon). Bartlett has published the Herald for 15 years and French said Bartlett's son, Dan Jr., will be associated with his father soon in the newspaper business. Should The Dalles have another swimming pool, a covered, heated pool that would be usable all year instead of "summer type" pool that is idle nine months out of the year. This question and others related to it may be answered Tuesday night at a public meeting at Civic Auditorium. Mrs. Phillip Dougherty, a member of The Dalles Recreation Commission, has called the meeting in an effort to answer questions that might arise. Except for the final spruce up, the new 255 bed dormitory at Columbia Park State Home is ready to receive the furnishings it will need before occupancy this summer. The building is named for Samuel E. May, former secretary of state between 1862 and 1870. [The present day Columbia Gorge Community College campus]. 60 Years Ago, April 27, 1943 Validity of the Northern Wasco County People's Utility district was upheld unanimously today by the state supreme court, which denied the Pacific Power & Light company's claims that no PUD can be valid unless voters in every parcel of territory of the district approve it. The courts decision, by Justice Hay, upheld Circuit Judge Carl Hendricks, who heard, in Wasco County, the suit brought by district directors against the power company and several citizens. Frank Cullins, formerly a Dalles baseball and football star, spent last night in this city as the guest of local friends, leaving this morning for California where he is engaged in defense work. After leaving The Dalles, he was a semiprofessional baseball player on a number of larger city teams. George Duncan, a farmer living at Criterion (Oregon), was in The Dalles today and reported freezing weather in the Maupin (Oregon) and upper Deschutes area nearly every night, which he averred ruined prospects for apricot and peaches in that district. 80 Years Ago, April 27, 1923 A district convention meeting of the United Artisans was held Wednesday night in the Moose hall when many visitors attended from Dufur (Oregon) and Hood River (Oregon). Doctor E.C. Eshelman of Portland, A. Selby of University Park near Portland and George J. Childs of Bend (Oregon) were also present. A class from The Dalles was initiated, with the work put on by The Dalles assembly. Appeal to the circuit court by Jack Thomas, convicted yesterday in the justice court of bootlegging, was announced today by Frank G. Dick, who acted as attorney for the defendant. Appeal bond was set at $500, which was expected to be raised before nightfall, giving Thomas his liberty. Woodcock brothers of Maupin are erecting an electric power plant for this city and work is now in progress, according to T. Leland Brown, county water master. A dam, to catch the overflow from Maupin springs is now being erected. Cost of the completed plant will be approximately $7,000 Brown said. 100 Years Ago, April 27, 1903 At the Lyle (Washington) cemetery reposes the remains of a once well known Klickitat (Washington) author, Frederick Balch, whose most famous romance, "The Bridge of the Gods" is now a classic in the realms of literature. According to the monument over his grave he died on June 3, 1891 at the early age of 30 years. A bill of sale for the steamer Glenola from the Regulator Line to Anchor Towing and Lighering has been filed with the collector of customs. The conditions names is $6000.

However, due to the fact that no records are available with current owners and addresses, we want to invite them by this media. We would also like to have them let registration know when they register that they are Century Farm representatives so we may recognize them during the meeting. We do appreciate all they have done for Wasco County. We recognize or Wasco County Pioneer Man and Woman of the year. Who do you think it will be this year? We would also like to acknowledge that the Class of 1938 from The Dalles High School will be attending this event.

Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle's Files, April 20, 2003. Compiled each week by Elroy King. 20 Years Ago, April 20, 1983 A review of the site plan for a new Calvary Baptist Church in the Columbia View area of The Dalles is on the agenda for the planning commission when it meets Thursday night at city hall. The church plans to build on property at the intersection of Columbia View Drive and Wasco Drive but no tentative dates have been set for the start of construction and the building design for the new church has not been set yet, Jack Howe, a church spokesman said. 40 Years Ago, April 20, 1963 The Dalles strengthened its hold on first place in the Western Division of Intermountain League play Friday with a day-night double-deader win over hosting Redmond (Oregon). The Indians (The Dalles), behind the five hit pitching of Mark Jensen, won the opener 9-6 and then came back in the second game with a 3-2 victory on another five hitter, this one thrown by veteran ace Paul Duus. Both Jensen and Duus remained undefeated. The Dalles Country Club fairways were windy and cold Friday afternoon but that seemed to have little effect on Prineville's (Oregon) number one prep golfer, Allen Hudspeth. The veteran senior carded a 37-40-77 in IML play here yesterday, a full ten strokes better than his nearest competitor, a teammate. John Miller was installed as the new president of the Senior High PTA at the Thursday evening meeting of the group. Others seated were Richard White, vice-president; Mrs. Dale Fallon, secretary; and Mrs. Don Spencer, treasurer. 60 Years Ago, April 20, 1943 Members of the Townsend Club, No. 1 met Saturday evening at the Arcadian Hall in regular session with Walter Ryan presiding. It was voted to help Alf Wernmark with a program to be given at the Eastern Oregon Tuberculosis Hospital on the evening on May 5. 80 Years Ago, April 20, 1923 As a result of the findings of the circuit court in the adjudication of water rights in Wasco County, records compiled by T. Leland Brown, district water master, show that there are now in access of 10,087 acres in the county under irrigation. Direct bus service between The Dalles and Portland will be inaugurated Sunday by the Jayloff bus company of Portland as a result of a deal completed by A.J. Jayloff of Portland, who purchased the line operating between The Dalles and Hood River (Oregon) from Bruce Stranahan of Hood River. Frank A. Viles and C.W. McMahon, both well known business men of this city will open a new drug store on or about May 1 in the building formerly occupied by Mack's Place on Second Street according to an announcement by McMahon this morning. A complete line of drugs, cigars and cigarettes and a first class soda fountain service will be installed, it was stated. 100 Years Ago, April 20, 1903 After all we bid fare to have baseball teams galore. For some time the Wasco Warehouse team has been organized and also the Boys Club team and Saturday night the original Dalles nine reorganized. The latter are prepared to take up all challenges and outside teams that desire games should address Robert Murray. Four small boys, among whom were Guy Jones and Tom McNeal, who were watching the baseball game yesterday afternoon, ventured too near to home base and were taught a lesson. One of the players tossed a bat aside, striking the lads and knocking Tom senseless for a time and cutting a large gash in Guy Jones' head, which it required three stitches to mend. They were brought home and are today little the worse for wear.

The Dalles Chronicle April 11, 2003. Looking Back is researched by Elroy King. 20 Years Ago, April 13, 1983 Five local restaurants are participating in a program sponsored by the Oregon Wheat League by serving the "True Oregon Cake" to their customers from April 19 through April 23 to correspond with the Cherry Festival. The restaurants are the Dobre Deli, Tapadera, Portage Inn, the French House and Ole's Supper Club. 40 Years Ago, April 13, 1963 Club objectives and projects were discussed at an organizational meeting of the Wasco County Teenage Republican Club held at the home of Mrs. Phillip Dougherty. High school students in attendance expressed an interest in learning more about the objectives of each of the two major political parties and in discussing matters related to taxation and other current legislative proposals. Linda Combs, junior at Arlington (Oregon) High School, was recently chosen to attend Girls State this year on the Willamette University campus. Linda was chosen for scholarship, personality and the activities in which she participates. The hosting Arlington (Oregon) Honkers of Don Rich won the third annual Arlington Invitational track meet and 14 Mid-Columbia A-2 and B schools entered and five new meet records. High point man of the day was Dave Jensen of Cascade Locks (Oregon) who took firsts in the javelin and shot put and a third in the discus. 60 Years Ago, April 13, 1943 Bertha Sparling was called into the justice court of Judge Glenn O. Allen yesterday on complaint of Harry E. Walther that she was allowing 10 goats to roam at large in the Cherry Height area, where she resides and keeps the goats. She was fined $25 by the court, but the sentence was suspended to give her time eighter to pen the goats or dispose of some of them. Among the five judges of the contest for junior weekend queen on the campus of the University of Oregon at Eugene is Roger Dick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank G. Dick of The Dalles. 80 Years Ago, April 13, 1923 P.W. Marx, county roadmaster, and J.W. Hix and L.B. Kelly, county commissioners, returned last night from an inspection trip in the Antelope (Oregon) district. The rains of last week and the heavy traffic on the roads made the travel a little rough, Marx stated. All road construction work in the district is going along smoothly it was reported. A.E. Gronewald, county school superintendent. and Burr E. Tatro of the high school faculty, will attend the community meeting to be held in Friend (Oregon) tonight in the interest of the proposed Dufur (Oregon) union high school. Gronewald and Tatro will outline the proposed system and state the benefits that would be derived. 100 Years Ago, April 13, 1903 Wasco county has a new post office called Friend, to be supplied by special service from Kingsley (Oregon). Theodore Bushkuhl has been appointed post master. We understand that The Dalles is to lose her O.R. & N. agent and that if you want to go to "Ireland" you soon will have to go to Goldendale, (Washington) as James Ireland has accepted the position as agent for the new railroad at that place. No doubt the O.R. & N. dislike to depart with so trustworthy an agent as Mr. Ireland has proven himself in the years he has served them, and we can truthfully say we will regret to lose him and his excellent wife. Whitman college again won the intercollegiate debate with Washington Agricultural College at Pullman (Washington) and we notice that a Dalles young man was a leader in the winning side in the person of E.D. Baldwin.

The Dalles Daily Chronicle, Saturday, December 20, 1890, page three LOCAL BREVITIES H.M. Baxter of Athens, is in the city. School Superintendant Shelley came up from Hood River (Oregon) to-day. Filloon Bros. report their plow trade excellent, which indicates that plowing is being carried on extensively. Mr. T.M.A.J. Parrish of Waldron (Oregon), accompanied by William Waters, and Robert A. Gilliam are in the city. Mr. W.R. Kirk of the Brownsville (Oregon) woolen mills is in the city, looking after wool. He has come to the right spot. Mr. Harry Blanchard, the gentlemanly purser of the steamer D.S. Baker, took his departure for Portland to-day, where he will remain for the winter. Mr. A.M. Harris shipped a carload of cattle to-day to Portland. They came from Mountain home [sp], Idaho. amd were taken off here to feed and rest. Mrs. McNaill and daughter, who have been visiting Mrs. J.M. Filloon, returned to their home in Portland this morning. Deputy U.S. Marshall Sinnosett passed down on the train to-day with four U.S. prisoners gathered in from the Umatilla Indian Reservation and vicinity. Colonel Sinnott of the Umatilla House excelled himself yesterday, and served as fine a dinner to the Portland visitors as one would care to sample. Mr. D.T. Stanley, editor of the NORTH CHRISTIAN of Portland, accompanied by his wife, were among the visitors to this city and North Dalles (Dallesport, Washington) yesterday. We acknowledge a pleasant call. Mr. C.G. Abbott, the fine stock man, of Kingsley (Oregon) arrived here from Portland, yesterday with some fine blood mares which he has had below during the summer. Some days ago the OREGONIAN contained an article on Ghost dances and the Messiah craze, in which the old dreamer and medicine man, "Smoholla," was called a Sioux Indian. Smoholla was a Columbia river Indian, who inhabited the country around White Bluffs, and was a man of great influence as a dreamer. The school exhibition at Hood River is said to have been one of the finest things of the kind ever given. Professor P.A. Snyder and Miss Cora Butler, in charge of the school have done exceedingly good work, and the way they trained the children for the exhibition showed deep interest and much patience and hard work. Their services are thoroughly appreciated and Hood River will hardly let them go. In our search for items this morning, we came across a new enterprise just started in the city, in the shape of Rustic Chair works, the men conducting it are Messrs. Liverman & Andrews, of Oregon City (Oregon). The chairs are a novelty, as they are made of hazel sprouts and are very neat and strong as well as ornamental. Their works are on Court strett between (page cut off here). F.P. Taylor has a couple of Christmas porkers at his shop that will weigh respectively 480 and 505 pounds. License to wed was issued this morning to Herman H. Theodore Stoneman, aged thirty-seven and Mrs. Dora E. Smith, aged twenty-eight. Mr. Peter Ruffner was somewhat astonished this morning while passing Maier & Bentons with a load of wood, by the "nigh" hihed wheel coming off his wagon and anchoring him in the street. [The American Heritage Dictionary Aug. 1994 - "nigh": Near in time, place or relationship; close, near. Does not refer to "hihed" - a possible typo error?.] George W. and Isaac P. Joles have made three trips to Sherman county, goose hunting and have killed 204 geese on these trips, which we think entitles them to the championship belt. A deed from the state of Oregon to Hampton Kelley for forty acres of school land, the southeast quarter of the northwest quarter of section sixteen, township five, south of range ten, east, was filed this morning. A pleasant surprise party was given Mr. and Mrs. J.J. Wiley one evening this week, the occasion being the second anniversary of their wedding. A large number of their young friends called on them taking them entirely by surprise, but they had a splendid time just the same. Cardinal Gibbons has sent a letter of sympathy on the persecution of the Russian Jews for Publication, and says: "Friends of hamanity must deplore these persecutions. For my part I cannot conceive how Christians can entertain other than kind sentiments toward the Hebrew race when it is considered how much we are indebted to them."
