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.
