NEWSY LETTER FROM ANTELOPE page four To The Editor: -- E.M. Wingate spent Sunday on Trout creek, we presume fishing. Miss May Miller, who has been visiting her uncle Thomas Harper, at Antelope, Returned to her home in The Dalles Monday. Nate Baird and Lem Axe had their camping outfit, blankets, saddles, bridles and A pair of shoes, burned by their camp fire while fishing last Saturday on John Day [river]. Reverend Hinton, Baptist minister from Grass Valley [Oregon], preached an able Sermon to a well-filled house Monday night. Mr. Hinton talks of establishing a Baptist mission at Antelope. Mr. and Mrs. Rodgers, who have been on the sick list for some time, are Slowly recovering. At a meeting of the school directors Monday night it was decided to open the Antelope public school August 12th for a ten-month term, with Professor G.H. Dunn as principal and Miss Lillie Hinton as assistant. Considerable interest is felt in regard to the outcome of the debate between Reverend Moore of Mitchell [Oregon] and Katie Kem Smith, of the First Secular Church of Portland on the inspiration of the Bible. Mrs. Smith is an eloquent Speaker. Great preparations were made for celebrating the Fourth and a large crowd was In town. A large platform had been made and beautifully decorated, an orchestra And choir secured, and just as the forty-two girls in white the goddess of Liberty were marching to their positions, a shower came up. The cry was soon Raised “To the schoolhouse!” and about 1200 soon found shelter, the largest Crowd ever in any one building in Antelope. The exercises were then continued Without interruption. It takes something worse a Kansas cyclone to interfere With a celebration at Antelope. Some fun-loving youngster decorated the Ice cream stand that had been erected for the benefit of the minister, with Signs from the merchants’ stores, as “Fresh butter”, “German Insurance”, “Selling at Cost”, etc. Owing to the damp, cool day, the stand and merry-go- round were not very extensive patronized. The dance at night was a grand success, and the supper under the management of Mrs. Patterson, was just elegant. There was a public basket picnic dinner, but a great many of the people preferred to take dinner at home or with friends. Mrs. C.V. Lane deserves great credit for the tasteful manner in which she arranged the forty-two little girls representing the states. Mrs. Hattie Stocker read the Declaration of Independence in a very pleasing manner. Mr. Richard Hinton and wife of Bakeoven [sic]celebrated the Fourth at Antelope. Miss Lillie Hinton went to The Dalles to celebrate. Thomas Harper christened his new residence by eating his Fourth of July Dinner in it.

Mr. Eddie Glisan delivered the Fourth of July oration in a very able and Patriotic manner. A public wedding was held as part of the exercises, in which Billy Wilson of Antelope and Miss Laura Bills of John Day [Oregon] were united in the holy Bonds of matrimony. Their many friends wish them much happiness and Success through life. MOSIER BREEZES What Our Correspondent Has To Say About Happenings In Mosier Neighborhood.

Mrs. Hardwick being sick, they had no dance and all That was going on was an evening social at the residence of Mr. Carrol and Owing to the inclemency of the weather there were but a few there, but those That were present report a good time. We are glad to report Mrs. Hardwick better. Mr. Carrol dug a well on his place this week. He had to go fifty feet, but has Plenty of water.

The Dalles Daily Chronicle Friday, July 12, 1895 page two Last night Lee Morehouse, a prisoner in the county jail, made an ineffectual Attempt to escape. It is Jailer Fitzgerald’s custom to go through the jail Every evening to assure himself that everything is as it ought to be. Morehouse Secreted himself in the cell nearest the door leading into the sheriff’s Office and intended as soon as the jailer retired to make a break for liberty. Mr. Fitzgerald, however, looked into that cell first, and discovered Morehouse With his shoes in hand ready to run. He was bent on going and it took something More than moral persuasion on the jailer’s part to convince him he had better Stay. Morehouse is in jail waiting the grand jury on the charge of larceny of A horse and bridle. BRIEF MENTION page three Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle Reporters Henry Brown of Hood River [Oregon] has made final proof of his homestead before The land office. Ben Snipes borrowed a horse from his brother, George, and, hitching him to the Buggy beside the remaining mule, started overland for Yakima [Washington], a Trip he has made many times. On account of the absence of the pastor, W.C. Curtis, there will be no preaching At the Congregational church next Sunday. The Sunday school and Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor will meet as usual. Dr. Tackman showed THE CHRONICLE a piece of gold which was mined on the shore Of the Columbia river. As every one knows silver and gold are both found in the River sand and patient effort will separate them. The piece in question was About five inches long, beaten flat and was worth about $5. Sheriff Driver wired the superintendent of the reform school announcing the Capture of young Shontell and asking for instructions. He received an answer Last night asking him to try and capture the other fugitive. An offer from the Reform school will probably come for the prisoner. The finance committee of the council [city] will recommend at the next meeting That Mr. Burget be allowed extra compensation for his work in connection with The city bonds. This is no more than justice, as the treasurer was compelled To do a vast amount of labor for which the present salary was a poor compensation. Miss Jessup, who will recite next Thursday evening at the opera house, is thus Spoken of by the OREGONIAN: “Miss Lloyd Jessup, won the applause and admiration of her large audience by the manner in which she looked and acted her difficult part; and even the cold critics could not say that she lacked dramatic force.” The county clerk’s office shows the following real estate transfers on record: Patrick Finegan of Cascades [Oregon] to Hans Lilligard, lot D, block 7, in the Town of Cascade Locks. Susan Wilson to N.P. Obrien, fractional w Œ of the mw Œ, Sec 18, tp 2s, r 13 e, wm. Besides these deeds a patent was recorded in favor of William J. Thompson, for N œ of se Œ and the n œ of sw Œ, sec 18, tp 2s, r 13 e, WM, containing 160 and A fractional acre. Martin Donnell’s new residence is nearly completed and a few more finishing Touches will make it ready for occupancy. The house is a very pretty cottage Of the latest-design and will be an ornament to that portion of the town.

Earline: Wish that I could have seen that picture for I know that it must have been beautiful -- especially from: The barn is on Center Ridge Road, between Easton Canyon Road and Long Hollow Road. According to a discription by Velma Limmeroth: "It is what we call the Moore Place and belongs to Frances Limmeroth Trust. It was purchased by Al Limmeroth in the early 1960s -- i.e., That MOORE PLACE was my girlhood home -- the Orrin W. Moore wheat ranch on Tygh Ridge near Nansene, and right across the road was part of the James W. Moore Estate (my grandfather) land, all of which my father farmed until his death in 1945. (The James W. Moore Estate land was purchase by a Moore cousin, James A. Underhill, and it is farmed by his son, Martin Underhill -- last time I saw the place, Grandpa's barn, it was still standing, too - at head of Long Hollow Road.) These MOORE Lands included land of 1) James W. Moore; 2) James' mother, Elvira (Mendenhall) Moore; James' brother, Hiram Embree Moore; and my father, Orrin W. Moore -- with most of it as BLM lands, homesteaded by these family members. Great-Grandmother, Elvira Moore's house originally stood in a spot between the 1920s house, that my parent's built, and the Barn. There is some Genealogy for you all! According to my father, "Mt Hood is "due west, 45 miles as a crow flies"! I often use this as a qoute, when writing of it. On top of that barn is a look-out trap door from which you see a panaramac view of the Dufur Valley and it was often used in sighting of fires -- then to spread the message over the farmers' owned telephone line.

DUFUR THRESHING BEE 2004 August 14-15 Sandy Bisset Dufur is a quiet little town nestled at the end of a beautiful green valley, in the shadow of Mt. Hood, in the middle of eastern Oregon wheat country. Once a year the population swells, the equipment whirrs, and the dust swirls. It’s Threshing Bee in full swing. People come from far and wide to see how the harvesting of wheat was accomplished in the “old days.” Dufur Historical Society and Living History Museum stages an all volunteer re-creation of an early 1900’s wheat harvest with antique, horse drawn, harvest equipment, run by a vintage steam powered tractor. In addition, a mobile harvest “cook shack” is on display acknowledging the women who worked right in the fields to keep the harvest crews fed. The heart of Threshing Bee has always been the activities in the field. Volunteers work year round to keep the equipment in operating order so this event can take place. Stan Ashbrook, a local wheat farmer, leaves part of one of his fields with standing wheat for the Threshing Bee demonstrations. The entire process, from cutting the grain with the header, threshing with the separator, and finally sewing the cleaned wheat into sacks for transport to market, is accomplished and narrated right in the field – in full view for the attendees to observe. There is also an exciting tractor pull competition., and small engine display. Step back in time and join us for Threshing Bee on August 14 and 15, in Dufur, Oregon, just 15 miles south of The Dalles on State Highway 197. There is no admission charged for the event. Everett Metzentine, with the late Bob DePriest, founded the Dufur Threshing Bee thirty-four years ago, on the premise, that the old ways must be preserved in a manner that is meaningful, so the younger generations have an appreciation of what wheat farming was like in the early days. They made a vow that the festival would always remain true to this purpose. Each year the Threshing Bee committee has taken this commitment seriously in presenting the Bee. Everett and his crew continue to perform wheelwright demonstrations in the field. The Oregon Trail Travelers camp on the grounds, wear period costumes, and provide hands on demonstrations of everything from blacksmithing to corn shucking, without the benefit of modern technology. Frances Connolly and the Mid-Columbia Fiber Guild spinners demonstrate spinning in the museum building, and Barbara Garner weaves on a hand loom in the log cabin. There is old time music on the grounds, an exhibit of classic cars at the park, as well as handmade crafts and art in the booths near the museum. The museum buildings, including the historic Schreiber Cabin, and restored Endersby School, and other exhibits are open to the public all weekend. Dufur has many historic homes, which are showcased in a narrated wagon tour of the town, and two remaining original brick business buildings on Main Street – the old Johnston Brother’s Store, which still operates as Kramer’s and the old bank building across the street. We will again sponsor a colorful Quilt Show. If you are interested in showing your quilt, contact Michelle Hammell at 541.467.2682. At the same location you will find Freda & Greg Yoakam from Mitchell, Oregon, with their Olde Time Photography business, their collection of vintage clothing and props, ready to take your “ancestor” picture. A portion of the purchase price will go to the Dufur Historical Society. At 10:00 on Saturday morning, the Threshing Bee Parade winds its way through Dufur. Last year’s parade was the longest in history, and this year’s could prove to be even better. If you are interested in participating in the parade contact chairman, Deanna McDowell, at 541.544.2189 for an application. Breakfast will be served in the park Saturday and Sunday mornings by Ramsey Park Grange members. In addition there will be a Steak Feed on Saturday evening. With tickets available in advance or at the gate. We will again have music in the field, and this year will add music in the park after the Saturday night Steak Feed, with some of the same musicians who perform at Ramsey Park Grange. Be sure to stay and listen. Activities at the park are rounded out by a Classic Car Show on Sunday, and a Climbing Wall for kids both days. The Climbing Wall is a fund raiser put on by the Foster Parent’s Association. We may also have a surprise for the children courtesy of the Forest Service. This will be announced later. If you would like to participate in the car show contact Wayne Allsop at 541.467.2457. Bob Davis of The Dalles, of Ghost Town Safaris, is conducting a photographic field trip to the Bee this year. This is an authorized event and participants will be the only persons who are allowed on the field with photographic tripods. If you are interested in the Safari to Threshing Bee, contact him at 541.296.2553 for information. As a point of clarification, cameras are allowed on the field, if used in a safe manner around the horses and equipment. In addition, Dufur Threshing Bee is an Assumed Business Name, and as that, cannot be used for commercial purposes without permission of Dufur Historical Society and Living History Museum. Before you market photographs from the Threshing Bee, contact the museum at 541.467.2205 for permission. We are again selling raffle tickets as a fund raiser for the Bee. Tony Kiser, a well known local watercolorist has donated a painting of the fields of Dufur Valley with Mount Hood in the background; The Dufur Quilters have again outdone themselves creating this year’s Threshing Bee Raffle Quilt; and Fisher Implement of Gresham and Tom & Deanna McDowell have contributed a child's John Deere pedal tractor and trailer. Tickets are being sold at all activities, at the cabin, and at various points in Dufur and The Dalles. Winners for the quilt and the painting will be announced at the end of the Bee, and the winning ticket for the tractor will be drawn at the annual Christmas open house at the cabin in December. To sign up for photographs at Old Tyme Photos, purchase Steak Feed tickets, or to play music in the park or on the grounds, contact Nancy Gibson at 541.467.2205. For other information on Dufur Threshing Bee or to request a packet, contact Nancy at the above number or Maryln Sawyer at 541.467.2349 Hope to see you at the Bee.

Sacramento Union Tuesday Morning, July 11, 1911 KILLED IN WRECK ON OREGON TRUNK Man Loses Life When Warped Rails Throw Train Off Track THE DALLES (Ore.), July 10 - Rails warped by heat caused the wreck of a southbound passenger train on the Oregon Trunk railroad late today. One man was killed and about twenty persons were injured, two perhaps fatally. Louis RISING, storekeeper at the Warm Springs Indian school, was killed and his wife was perhaps fatally injured. The engine left the track and rolled down a forty-foot embankment. A day coach followed and fell on top of the engine. Those seriously injured were in the day coach. They inhaled escaping steam from the engine and were burned and scalded. The injured were brought to the hospital here tonight. S.L. ARTHUR of Seattle, one of those badly scalded, rushed to the Deschutes river, 200 feet away, and jumped in. Fellow-passengers pulled him out just in time to save his life.
