The Dalles Daily Chronicle The Dalles, Oregon August 26, 1931 TAGS ON SLAUGHTERED ANIMALS AID OFFICERS Tags required on all slaughtered animals being shipped over the highways or railroads of the state were of material assistance in tracing the veal which figured in the arrest over the week-end of Harry Hoak and Mrs. A. C. Thompson on cattle-rustling charges, according to Sheriff Harold Sexton. The local officer pointed out that it was through the numbers on the tags received by the Portland buyer, checked against the stubs to the sheriff’s office, that it was possible to find who took out the tags from the sheriff’s officer here and who was actually shipping the veal. Hoak and Mrs. Thompson were still in jail today awaiting a hearing on the charges. Officers claim that Hoak killed 24 calves during the last two months. Mrs. Thompson taking them to Portland in her car and selling the meat. Just how many of these animals were allegedly stolen, officers are not prepared to say.

Hello, I am looking for information about Stephen G. BINGAMAN/BINGMAN born in Snyder County, PA 3 October 1869 (according to the family Bible). On 4 February 1898 he married Dora FOWLER at the courthouse in Salem, Oregon. Sometimes his name is given as G. Stephen or G.S. BINGMAN. In the 1920 census for Portland, Oregon he is listed as G.S. BINGMAN where he's listed as a fisherman. -- I do not know when he migrated from Pennsylvania to Oregon.

The Dalles Daily Chronicle The Dalles, Oregon November 3, 1926 THOMAS A. HUDSON, PIONEER SUCCUMBS Heart Failure Responsible For Sudden Death, No Plans For Funeral Death claimed another pioneer of The Dalles today when Thomas A. Hudson, aged 73 years, died suddenly at noon today at his home, 422 West Second street. Apparently in the best of spirits and health, considering his age, Mr. Hudson dressed and jokingly remarked he was “going down to see the queen.” (Queen Marie of Rumania). A short time later he was stricken with heart failure and died instantly. The deceased was a highly respected citizen of The Dalles, where he had engaged in business for many years. Mr. Hudson was born in Belfast, Ireland, and came to America with his parents at the age of 13 years. Brooklyn, N. Y. was his home until he was about 20 years of age when he sailed before the mast as second mate around the Horn. He later settled in Oregon City but came to The Dalles 53 years ago and had since resided here. For a time he was a clerk in the Wingate store, which is now A. M. Williams & Company, and then established the Hudson Land Company, dealing in real estate, loans and insurance. He retired from this business a few years ago in favor of his son, Thomas R. Hudson. Mr. Hudson, during his life, took an active interest in civic and fraternal affairs in The Dalles. He served the city as water commissioner and also as city recorder. He was the first chancellor commander of the nights of Pythias lodge of this city and a past exalted ruler of the Elks lodge. He was also a member of the Masonic order, W. O. W., Artisans and Macabees. The deceased was married to Amanda Thornbury of The Dalles. Mrs. Hudson died April 2, 1919. Surviving are a daughter, Mrs. Helen Baker, a son, Thomas R. Hudson, both of this city, and another son, Lawrence Hudson, of Portland. Funeral arrangements have not been completed and will be announced later.

The Dalles Daily Chronicle The Dalles, Oregon January 28, 1924 CONVENTION PLANS LAID BY GRANGERS Picnic At Bonneville To Be One Of Features At Gathering, Decided. When the Oregon State Grange holds its annual convention here in June, a picnic will be staged at Bonneville as one of the features of the gathering, at which more than 3000 delegates of both the Washington and Oregon state grange societies will participate. Plans toward this end were completed Sunday what a committee representing the Washington State Grange and the Oregon State Grange met at Bonneville for a joint conference. The Grangers of the neighboring state will hold a convention at Vancouver, Wash., at the same time the Oregon Grangers meet here. Arrangements were made at the meeting yesterday, word of which reached The Dalles this morning, for transportation by train and boat up the river to relieve the traffic congestion on the Columbia River highway. G. W. Cullender, C. P. Bush, E. O. Hiland and Chopin Mills, extensive fruit growers of Vancouver, Wash., composed the committee of the Washington Grangers, while L. R. Elliot of Friend, M. M. Burtner of Dufur, O. A. Morgan of Eight Mile and Mr. And Mrs. J. G. Snipes representing the Chenowith and Mill Creek Granges, were on the Oregon Committee. The picnic will be participated in by the largest delegation of growers ever assembled in Oregon, it is believed. Selection of Bonneville was made only after months of correspondence, during which time the Washington Grangers offered many alluring inducements to the Oregon Grangers to select a site on the Washington side of the river.

The Dalles Daily Chronicle The Dalles, Oregon October 20, 1921 RAIL OFFICIALS DANCE TO PISTOL RAG O. W. R. & N. Bosses Have Dull Evening Brightened; Shots Strike Car A special train arrived from Portland last night with railroad officials and was side tracked in the block east of the depot near the Umatilla house when the shooting began. A. Buckley, superintendent, and J. F. Corbett, assistant superintendent, were sitting on a baggage truck according to their story. When the bullets began to whiz in their direction, they decided it was time to hunt cover. Corbett is not a small man and Buckley will tip the scales at about 275 pounds. They tried hiding under the truck and behind telephone poles, which was not at all satisfactory, the telephone pole especially being too narrow for a man of Buckley’s dimensions. He then ran for the depot. Joe Hanley and John Murphy arrived on the scene from Hotel Dalles and immediately sought shelter under the special car. When the confusion had subsided, the railroad officials called for an engine and left the city. Their car was reported by spectators to have been perforated by shots. COAST TONG WAR AT BOTTOM OF TROUBLE At the bottom of last night’s trouble lies the serious tong war that has been raging up and down the west coast for several months. The Hop Sing and Suey Sing tong are at it, hammer and tongs in all the Chinese colonies in the west. In Portland in this last war, the Hop Sings have two deaths against one for the Suey Sings. This means that the Sueys are one to the good and it is up to the Hops to avenge themselves. The last Hop Sing killed in Portland was a Chinese named Wong Lee, and seven Suey Sings are under arrest, charged with murder. The Portland police look for the next attack to come from a Hop Sing. The Suey Sings however, with seven members in jail, may attempt such a reign of terror against their enemies that the latter will aid in getting the rival tongmen freed. The Dalles is a stronghold of the Hop Sings. No other tongs have ever had membership here. The Chinese in The Dalles do not quarrel among themselves. They are brothers in the fraternity of theirs. They are mortally afraid however of some Suey Sing gang of Suey Sings or a paid gunman to their employ coming here to cause trouble. This is the reason why the local Hops have their lookouts posted along First street. Any strange Chinaman who lands in The Dalles is given a close scrutiny, and if he looks suspicious the local Chinese tip off the police.

The Dalles Weekly Chronicle The Dalles, Oregon January 9, 1919 CARRYING BOOZE SOLDIER ARRESTED Pays Fine of $50 For Having Clinking Bottles In His Possession (Daily of January 6, 1919) Carrying a dress suit case which was suspiciously heavy and from which there emanted suspicious gurgles, Robert L. Boehmer, a discharged soldier, was arrested by Chief-of-Police Gibons last evening. Examination of the suit case showed that it contained a number of pint bottles of whiskey. When interrogated, Boehmer declared that he had secured the bottled goods in Portland and that he was taking it as a gift to friends in Sherman county. When arraigned before Police Judge Cates this morning, however, he pleaded guilty and was fined $50, which he paid. Papers which Boehmer carried showed that he enlisted at Prosser, Wash., and was assigned to service in the spruce division. He was given his discharge at Vancouver Barracks on December 18. He was still in uniform when arrested here.

The Dalles Daily Chronicle The Dalles, Oregon January 5, 1909 BODY BURNED UP Cremation Ceremonies Held Over Hindu Today Took Place On Beach of River Mile East of City This Afternoon Gois Singh, a Hindu, aged 25 years, died of typhoid fever at the sanatorium Sunday. His countrymen at Portland were communicated with, several of whom arrived last night to take charge of the body. According to the customs and religious rites of the Hindu, the body was cremated this afternoon on the beach a mile east of this city, two cords of oak wood being used in so doing. First the oaken pyre was constructed being about three feet in height, four feet wide and eight feet long, on which the remains were placed and more wood was thrown on the body, and kerosene was poured over the whole pile. It requires, as a usual thing, three hours in which to consume a human body at that sort of a crematorium and today, storming as it did, it required a longer time. The ashes were gathered and cast into the Columbia. It is the belief of the Hindus that the soul after the death of its temporary possessor, must be born again in some material semblance, in order that it may complete the work unfinished in some previous state of existence until its task is accomplished and perfection be attained. The Hindus ashes, left from cremation, is given back to the elements of nature, the water and air, after having been obtained from the agni or fire. The Hindus are given to addressing the elements of nature as if they were divine beings and many of them worship the sun, the air and other elements of nature. There was no religious ceremony aside from the cremation. When asked if they would offer prayer or sing, the interpreter said today at the cremation that it would “do no good now as the soul has left the body.” Earline, Columbia Gorge Genealogical Society http://community.oregonlive.com/cc/genealogy

The Dalles Daily Chronicle The Dalles, Oregon September 29, 1908 REV. WIRE COMING Appointed To Fill Methodist Pulpit Here Was One of the Leadin(g) Young Men of the Oregon Conference The Rev. M. T. Wire has been transferred by Bishop Hughes from the Oregon Conference to the Columbia River Conference and appointed pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church in The Dalles. Mr. Wire is about 33 years old. He was one of the leading young men of the Oregon Conference. For a number of years served in one of the Portland churches and attracted much favorable attention in the Portland Methodist preacher’s meetings. At the time of his transfer to The Dalles, he held the responsible position of secretary of the Oregon Conference and the district superintendent of the Portland district seriously objected to the transfer of Mr. Wire on the ground that he was so thoroughly and closely identified with all the important interests and work of the conference, and that his services in that conference, were of such value that the thought of his removal could hardly be entertained. Mr. Wire graduated from Garrett Biblical institute, one of the greatest theological schools in Methodism with the Rev. Dr. Fletcher Haman, now President of Willamette University. Bishop Hughes has given careful thought and consideration to The Dalles Methodist church and has favored it in the appointment which he has just made. The Methodist here have reason to be encouraged, and after the deep sadness which has come to them, to take up their work again with heart and purpose being assured of the personal character and qualities, of the abilities and leadership of their new pastor. Mr. Wire is a single man, but Phillips Brooks, the greatest preacher of his century, was never married. A. S. Hunt, of New York, one of the bright luminaries of Methodism, was a bachelor. Bishop Asbury, practically the founder and great leader of early American Methodism, lived all his life in single blessedness – but Rev. Wire is only a little past thirty.
