They will play Cascade Locks (Oregon. Condon beat Maupin (Oregon) 57-52 to get to the title round. Cascade Locks beat Culver (Oregon) 55-52. Louis Barnett and Jim O'Meara led Condon in scoring with 14 and 12 points respectively. The Dalles Gary Strayer had one mark of achievement he didn't have to be ashamed about when he came home from the Swiss Invitational in Beaverton's Valley Lanes (Oregon) last weekend. He bowled the tourney high game of 288 when matched with some of the best scratch bowlers in Oregon and Washington. The seventh anniversary of the Church of God Sunday school will be observed tomorrow and an invitation has been extended by Pastor C.F. Hemenway to former members and friends to share in the occasion. George Cramer, who was carpenter-foreman on the building, will tell a story in pre-session. 60 Years Ago, March 9, 1943 Victory gardens may be planted with dry peas, beans or lentils without ration coupons, certificates or any other red tape it was announced today from Washington in a sudden reversal of the EPA (Environment Protection Agency?) of the order issued at the last weekend. Undirected sales of any dry peas, beans or lentils marked as seed which are purchased by persons who promise to plant them and not eat them is allowed. The board of directors of The Dalles Chamber of Commerce this week endorsed the proposed bond issue for the Port of The Dalles grain elevator, to be voted on by the people March 23, it was announced today by W.S. Nelson, secretary manager. Mrs. Ralph Bonney, Mrs. Harold Ryan and Mrs. Emile Schanno were named last week as the three women golfers who would provide the cars for transportation Thursday morning when the women golfers of The Dalles County Club will meet at the clubhouse for potluck luncheon and the afternoon to be spent either at golf or cards. Winners of the awards for last week were Mrs. Lee Stewart, first flight, and Mrs. Chester Banch, second flight. 80 Years Ago, March 9, 1923 Incorporation of The Dalles Mausoleum company, with a capitalization of $10,000, was announced today by Charles J. Schumann, who has been active in the organization. The incorporators are: George C. Blakeley, G.N. Gammon, Pat Foley, J.H. Weiss and D. Gott.

Yesterday while he was working at the quarry about eight miles up Mill Creek he smashed the second finger of his right hand very badly, also cutting a bad gash in it. Louis says he was in a hurry to get some work done, and so labored on Sunday, but believes he will be paid back now with a two week layoff. >From what is considered a reliable source we learn that the O.R. & N. will soon commence running dining cars on all passenger trains. This word is reported as coming direct from President Mohler that the additional cars for this service have been ordered and the new order of things will go into effect as soon as the cars are received. This seems to indicate that the company will shortly cut out the eating stations on all parts of the O.N. & R. system.

The Dalles Chronicle March 2, 2003 (Text Only) Again we have apparently stumped the History Mysterians with last week's photo at left. Our thanks to Gordon Hilderbrand for sharing it. On the back of the photo is written: "The first store built in Wasco, 1884 or 85, owned by W.M. Barnett. "It was later moved, and a brick building was built on this site, where it still stands and is owned by Rich Freight Line. "The brick building was also a grocery and dry goods store, and housed his bank. The bank, called the W.M. Barnett Bank, was owned by Mr Barnett until his death, and was carried on by his family until 1935." We're not sure when the inscription was written, but it's fascinating. On a personal note, Mr. Hilderbrand remembered that my grandfather, George Mark Nichols, who owned an apple orchard in Zillah, Washington, would haul barrels of apples to this and other stores in Sherman County in the 1920s and 30s. It's a small world indeed. (Contact Rodger Nichols at rnichols@eaglenewspapers.com or 541-506-4603 or fax: 541-298-1365 to request copies of above photograph).

The Dalles Chronicle March 2, 2003 compiled by Elroy King 20 Years Ago, March 2, 1983 School directors of District 12 have decided to continue the search for a superintendent to replace George Yertson when he reites in June. Meeting in special session Tuesday night to review alternatives to replacing Yertson, the board voted 3 - 1 to continue the search. Senators Bob Packwood and Mark Hatfield this morning introduced legislation appropriating $167 million to reconstruct the lock at Bonneville Dam. If approved, the money would go into the Army Corps of Engineers budget to expand the existing lock and to reduce waiting time for barges on the Columbia River 13 hours to two hours. 40 Years Ago, March 2, 1963 Circuit Judge Malcolm W. Wilkinson has issued a memorandum opinion permanently enjoining the state tax commission from enforcing its orders more than doubling Harvey Aluminum Wasco County Property tax bill for 1959. Holding that the commission's order was "arbitary" the judge made permanent the temporary injunction that had been in effect since August 20, 1959 when Harvey's injunction suit against the commission was heard. An important new radar facility, costing $496,000, will be installed at Condon in Gilliam County as part of a nationwide imporvement program announced by the Federal Aviation Agency, the office of Representative Al Ullman, D-Oregon announced Friday. The Reverend Herbert E. Anderson, who formally served Calvary Baptist Church in The Dalles, has assumed the pastorate of Hinson Memorial Baptist Church in Portland. He was pastor of the church here from 1952 to 1958 and since that time has served the First Baptist Church of Lebanon (Oregon). 60 Years Ago, March 2, 1943 Red Cross units are going into action this week in The Dalles and throughout Wasco county and Sherman county in the month long war fund drive from March 1 to 31, inclusive under the leadership of Mrs. L.L. Hickok of this city. A meeting for the residential workers, who are to contact housewives and other householders this week and thereafter while the drive continues, was held yesterday afternoon at the Congregational Church. City recorder Joseph H. Steers yesterday fined Peter Joseph Fuse $15 and sentenced him to 30 days in jail on a charge of acting as a vendor of liquor to two Indians. The fine was not immediately paid, but the defendant had the option of paying it, or spending one month behind the bars, it was stated today at city hall. The Red Cross flag display in the "island" window of A.M. Williams & Co. shows the flags of 18 of the 30 United Nations, the reason for the absence of the 18 others being lack of space to display them. Among the national banners shown are those of the United States, Great Britain and the British dominions, China, Russia, Belguim, Mexico and Panama. 80 Years Ago, March 2, 1923 One day last week, Mr. and Mrs. A.M. Patison, recent residents of Wamic (Oregon), but who now live next to the East Hill School in The Dalles, having occasion to repair their chicken yard, turned out their flock of chickens to range at will for the afternoon. Going gleefully down an alley-way, the chickens apparently set out "new lands to conquer". That they met with success may be surmised when to the surprise and consternation of the owners they returned late in the evening in a state of actual intoxication. The Dalles band, which has been in the process of organization by Mr. and Mrs. Loren Luper, trombone and xylophone soloists, is reported in fine shape for the premier concert which will be given in the civic auditorium on March 7. Mrs. Pat Foley, who has consented to assist in the concert, will be featured as vocal soloist, singing "The Italian Street Song" from "Naughty Marietta" (Victor Herbert). 100 Years Ago, March 2, 1903 Alexander Scott, of Grass Valley (Oregon), has been in The Dalles City some time, negotiating with the W.W.M. Company for electric power for Grass Valley, Moro and Wasco, hooked onto the White River falls plant. An arrangement will be formulated through a joint stock organization to be perfected this month. After the grist of marriage licenses which have been making their way into Hood River (Oregon) recently, it is only fair that the circuit court get in its work and furnish a divorce occasionally. The one applied for Saturday is somewhat out of the ordinary, the plaintiff, Joseph A. Knox, being 66 years of age and the defendant, Keturah Knox, 60. They were married on the 13th of May, 1900, after an acquaintance of one day, and the fair bride deserted her spouse three months later.

The Dalles Chronicle February 23, 2003 Compiled by Elroy King. 20 Years Ago, February 23, 1983 The Washington state fire marshal's office has issued a report saying the fire that having damaged Lyle (Washington) high school was caused by arson and a $7,500 reward was posted to help find the person who set the fire. Duane Dormaier of the Yakima office of the fire marshal said today the fire was definitely arson, but added that any details relating to the exact cause of the fire were not being released. The fire did start in the faculty lounge of the school, he said. The fire was discovered at about 10:15 p.m. February 16 by a Klickitat County deputy. The Wasco County Court this morning granted a permit to the Rajneesh Foundation for a summer festival being planned for 15,000 people. An application was filed in January and has been under study since. Under state law, said District Attorney Bernie Smith, the court is required to issue the permit if it finds the health and safety rules are met. Some 60 to 70 people showed up for the meeting. 40 Years Ago, February 23, 1963 The Dalles First Lady of 1962, whose busy schedule has included untold hours devoted to projects for both young and old is Mrs. William Esson. Xi Zeta Exemplar Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi today announced the selection and also a public reception to be held in Mrs. Esson's honor Monday from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in the Fellowship Room at Gateway Presbyterian Church. Last year's district A-1 wrestling champion Prineville (Oregon) had a six point lead going into the semifinals and bunched within a two point spread were Bend, La Grande and Redmond. Prineville scored 26 points, followed by Bend with 20, La Grande 19 and Redmond 18. Other teams in order were MacHi, 14; Pendleton and hosting The Dalles, 11 each and Madras with nine. Four of the hosts 16 wrestlers were still in contention for berths in the state tournament. They are Joe Scholes, 106 pounds; Steve Lawrence, 157 pounds, Bob Kelly, and Tom Merron, both at 191 pounds. 60 Years Ago, February 23, 1943 City police last evening nabbed panhandlers who were found soliciting money on the local streets and locked them up for the night. They were booked on the police blotter as Charles Francis Shannon, 39, born in Wisconsin, and Richard O'Hearn, 37, born in Colorado. This evening they were given their choice of leaving town or serving time in the city jail. Both left town forthwith. 80 Years Ago, February 23, 1923 The Dalles high school basketball team scored its seventh straight victory of the season by defeating the Hood River (Oregon) high school players 51 to 13 on the Hood River floor last night. The local girls sextet won their third game of the year 26 to 18 against the Hood River girls. O. Mann was high point getter for The Dalles with 31 points, H. Van Orman and E. Mann divided honors for the rest. The Columbia hall farmers' union meeting held Wednesday was a real success, according to county agent C.W. Daigh. Orders were pooled for plow shares and harness leather, and arrangements were made to get in touch with all farmers unions and granges in the county to determine the number of grain sacks that will be needed for the harvest this year. A pool of funds will probably be arranged, as the sacks in all probability can be bought at a cheaper rate in quantity lots, Daigh said. 100 Years Ago, February 23, 1903 John Fitzgerald had another boarder at his hotel, which has been vacant for over a week. This time Chas. Wilson is in trouble. He got hilarious Saturday afternoon and after doing about $100 of damage at the Umatilla House, attempted to wipe the earth with Marshal Wood, who appeared on the scene. But this time he was fooled and soon lodged in jail. This morning he was arraigned before Justice Gates and his case is set for trial tomorrow. It certainly does look a little bad for The Dalles, for while Hood River is daily applying for marriage licenses, our city is just as often bobbing up serenely and asking for a divorce for some unhappy mortals. It must be Hood Riverites all move up this way when they get spliced. Saturday Roy Anderson and Ethel Mooney were granted a passport to glory, when along come "Justice" Gates and filed a complaint for divorce for Jennie Cook against Benj(i)min Cook. And so it goes.

The Dalles Chronicle February 17, 2003 Front page FAMILY MOURNS LOSS OF HUSBAND, FATHER IN KILLING by Kirby Neumann-Rea special to The Chronicle Jorge Garcia, 15, made no attempt to hide his tears. Faustino Garcia "was a good man and a good father. We were spending a lot of time together," Jorge said Thursday as he sat near the fire in his family's photo-filled living room. Garcia was murdered February 12, two blocks from his home on W. Eugene Street in Hood River (Oregon). Suspects, and a motive remain unknown, according to investigators. "We are all in pieces," said Jorge's sister, Lupita, 18, holding her daughter, Alma Jinez Garcia, seven months. "We are all upset. We did not expect this to happen." Her mother, Rosario, sat on the couch, crying but comforting her daughter, Rosarita, 6, and son, Tinito, 10. Jorge and Tinito said Faustino loved soccer, particularly watching their Dynamos teams play, and rooting for the professional team Chivas in his native Mexico. Garcia, 52, who had lived in Hood River County for more than 25 years, will be buried in his home village of Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico, in keeping with his wishes, Rosario said. A fund has been established in the Garcia family name at Columbia River Bank in Hood River. The family's pain is underlined by the mystery of what happened to Faustino that morning. The family last saw Garcia alive at about 4:30 a.m. Wednesday when he heard "something suspicious" outside their home at 1819 W. Eugene Street, a block from Hood River Middle School, according to Lupita. "We were waiting for him to come back down the street but he never came back," Lupita said. Garcia was preparing to go to work at Power Design in Odell (Oregon). For 10 years, since the company's inception, Garcia had worked as main supervisor at the company, which makes fiberglass enclosures, high voltage electrical switch gear and other industrial products. "We will really miss him," said Garcia's friend and employer, Eric Cederstam, president of Power Design, who had worked with Garcia for a total of 25 years, beginning at Western Power in Hood River. Garcia was the first person hired by Cederstam and co-founder Bill Beebe when they started Power Design in January 1993. "He was the hardest working employee I have ever known," Cederstam said. "He always put his family first and his job second, but if I asked him to work 24 hours a day he would. "I miss him very much, as a friend and a co-worker. He had a lot of knowledge that we relied on," Cederstam said. "He is a reason that our company has grown to the point it has and that we're successful." Garcia was responsible for supervising the work of nearly all 35 people employed at Power Design. "He was very knowledgeable about almost all phases of our operation," Cederstam said. "He had taken over a lot of responsibility for ordering supplies and materials. We are definitely going to miss that." Cederstam said Garcia rarely let illness get in the way of a day's work. "Even if he could hardly pull himself out of bed to get here, he'd come to work," Cederstam said. "He was usually the first to open, and he regularly worked until at least 4 p.m. every day. There were days I couldn't get him out of here. I tried."

The Dalles Chronicle February 16, 2003 (Text Only) Last week's photo, proved a stumper....we thought leaving the date in the lower right corner might give a clue. But with both buildings in the background no longer around, it was too tricky. The picture shows the excavation for the former The Dalles Post Office, which was remodeled last year after Amerititle purchased the building. The two-story, dressed Tenino sandstone building in the classical style is sometimes credited as the first federal building constructed in the city of The Dalles. That's true if the word "completed" is substituted for "constructed." Work on The Dalles mint antedated the post office by nearly 60 years, but it stopped being a federal project when construction was halted following the loss of the mint-master on a ship from San Francisco. The former post office was one of nine constructed in Oregon between 1910 and 1920.

The Dalles Chronicle February 16, 2003 Compiled by Elroy King. 20 Years Ago, February 16, 1983 The Oregon Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of a Mosier (Oregon) man who had sought worker's compensation benefits for injuries he received in an explosion at his home in January of 1981. The court, facing the issue for the first time, held Wednesday that an employer is liable for injuries arising from personal comfort activities of a worker required to live at the job site. Samuael Wallace, who was 87 at the time of the accident was employed as a watchman and caretaker at the volunteer fire station in Mosier. He received burns when a butane stove exploded while he was preparing a meal in his trailer next to the fire station in January of 1981. 40 Years Ago, February 16, 1963 The State Tax commission Friday was accused of using illegal methods in appraising Harvey Aluminum Company's property at The Dalles. The charge was made by Senator Walter Pearson, Democrat-Portland, during a heated Senate Tax Committee hearing which reviewed the hassle between Harvey and the Tax Commission on how much the firm's property is really worth for tax purposes. Senator Vern Cook, Democrat-Gresham, disputed Pearson's contentions. 80 Years Ago, February 16, 1923 Joseph Folda, who was in charge of the Knights of Pythias band, is also the leader of the newly organized city band, of which Dr. D.T. Browne, is the president, it was announced today. Loren Luper, Albany (Oregon) musician, is here as an instructor and soloist and will train members of the band for the month previous to the concert, which is to be given as a benefit affair in the civic auditorium about March 15. 100 Years Ago, February 16, 1903 The people of White Salmon (Washington) are talking of sinking wells for artesian water, and are negotiating with P.R. Kretzer to do the boring for them. If artesian water for irrigating purposes can be had the value of farms in that area will be greatly increased. >From reports given in by physicians and the marshal it is quite evident that the fever is abating. In the past few days but one case has been quarantined and each day the flags are removed from three or four houses. Today the lucky ones are the families of John Gavin, R.H. Darnielle, J. Atkins and J. Mullikin. Hereafter all capital punishment will be inflicted within the walls of the penitentiary at Salem (Oregon). Both houses of the legislature have passed the bill for this purpose and it undoubtedly will receive the approval of the governor.
