The announcement was made by the Swim Team Board. Bull, a 1981 graduate of The Dalles High School, replaces Jeff Mengis, who resigned after six years to pursue a job opportunity in the Portland area. Ed Anghilante is the proud owner of a brand new hole in one. Anghilante of The Dalles used a five-iron to ace the 174-yard par 3 14th hole at The Dalles Country Club on Saturday, January 28. Witnessing the ace were Keith Keller, Rich Rasey and Ben Koch, all of The Dalles. 60 Years Ago, February 1, 1944 The federal housing project recently allocated to The Dalles has been revised and 40 units of new public construction now are provided for this city it was announced in Portland today by Fred C. Cuthbert, senior national housing agency representative. The total number of housing projects allocated to The Dalles stands at the original figure, or 95, Cuthbert explained. This will include 50 units for private construction, and five for conversion, the 40 public construction units completing the total. Mr. and Mrs Chris Fauerso have received a letter written in Florida by Frank J. Bartnicki of Pennsylvania who was a member of the same bomber crew as their son, Lt. Paul Fauerso, and who was one of the 14 wounded exchange prisoners brought to this country for hospitalization. He was with Paul on a trip to a German prison camp and feels that Paul’s constant care of him on that trip saved his life. The Fauersos met Bartnicki on their trip to Spokane [Washington] before the boys left there on their way to the east coast and foreign service. 100 Years Ago, February 1, 1904 With his left wrist so badly cut that the tendons were severed, Charles Hay was brought in from Deschutes Saturday evening and taken to the hospital to have it dressed and cared for.

Fire Chief Roth had asked the council to name a committee to investigate the situation and advise on steps that might be taken. On the motion of councilman W.L. Kirk, the council voted acceptance of Roth’s report, with the sti8pulation that the recommended action be taken at the next council meeting when Mayor George Stadelman will be present. Four men who took the civil service examinations for the position of paid firemen on The Dalles department, made the required marks and are eligible for appointment as soon as vacancies occur in the d epartment it was announced today by Charles Roth Jr., fire chief.

Who the woman was will never be known. Perhaps the wife of some immigrant of some hardship of the plains, perhaps the victim of an Indian raid on the train of covered wagons. These and many other theories are advanced. Designation of the 1924 market road in Wasco County, to be known as the Emerson-Roberts market road, was announced this morning by the county court. County roadmaster P.W. Marx will construct this year’s road and has completed grading of the Wrentham of 1923 market road, according to advices. The roadmaster will move camp at once to the new site. Sam Marsh was arrested by officers McClaskey and Swetland of the O.W.R. & N. special police force, near the depot last night when he discovered to be carrying an old .45 caliber revolver in a loaf of bread. Marsh was incarcerated in the city jail and may be prosecuted of a charge of carrying a concealed weapon. 100 Years Ago, February 8, 1904 Rewards for the capture of Guy Harshman and Charles Hoehn, who held up the O.R. & N. train last September, have been ordered paid. Detective J.J. Fitzgerald, who recently did such splendid work up the way, being the recipient of $300 for Harshman and a portion of $1300 for Hoehn’s capture. Harshman was sentenced to twelve years in the state penitentiary and young Hoehn went up for ten years. R.F.

WOOD vs. IRON – One of the insurance adjusters informs us that wooden doors and shutters covered with fire-proof paint are superior for resisting fire than iron. This is a matter worth investigating. GRAND LODGE OFFICERS – The following are the officers of the Grand Lodge of I.O.O.F. elected for the ensuing year: John Kenworthy, M.W.G.M.’ I.W.Case, D.G.M.; P. Metchum, G.W.; J.M. Bacon, G.

UMATILLA HOUSE OMNIBUS – Messrs. Williams, Marchbanks & Co. give notice that they will run the Umatilla House Omnibus as formerly. Persons wishing to be taken to the boat in the morning will have their orders attended to by leaving them at the office of the above named gentlemen, near the bridge. ADJUSTERS – Colonel Charles Kinney and Mr. George Grant, the former adjuster for the Liverpool, London and Globe and the latter for the North British Company, spent last Tuesday afternoon inspecting and fixing the damage on the goods of Messrs. Blumauer & Son, which have been stored in our front office since the fire. WOOL! WOOL!! – A friend has shown us a letter from San Francisco dated May 27, in which Eastern Oregon Wool is quoted from 18 to 23 œ cents per pound. The latter figure is only for clean wool of the best quality, free from scab. We do not think these figures will hold long. We would advise our wool raisers to sell as soon as possible, and take warning by last years market. A CLOSE CALL – Last Sunday about noon, Captain P.B. Johnson came home sorely bruised up, leading his horse by the bridle. He had evidently a severe fall, but how/or when he can’t remember. For 24 hours he was unconscious, suffering from concussion of the brain, caused by the fall, no doubt, but we learn from Mr. EdHerritt ? that he is getting along nicely now and will be all O.K. in a few days – W.W. WATCHMAN. THANKS – We return thanks to the Reverend G.H. Atkinson, D.D., for a copy of his “Northwest Coast,” a pamphlet of fifty-six pages, containing a series of articles upon Oregon, Washington and Idaho, and the North Pacific Railroad in its relations to the basins of the Columbia and Puget Sound. It is a very interesting book, and contains much useful information. It is just the thing to send to one’s friends in the east. THAT LIME – The lime deposit at Five Mile creek, Wasco county, is of superior quality, and can be furnished at The Dalles as cheaply as San Juan lime can be furnished at Seattle –Ex. We saw some of the above lime stacked, and Mr. Allen and other experts who witnessed the process say it’s better than San Juan lime, and we believe it. We think that Adam Crossman struck a bonanza when he found that lime bed. W.W. WATCHMAN BROUGHT HOME – Colonel Lang left home eight or ten days ago to go to his sheep ranch on board of the overland stage, and was caught in a severe rain storm. The result was he caught a cold and had a severe spell of sickness. Mrs. Lang went to his assistance and brought him home, and we are glad to be able to add that he is all right again, and will soon be able to attend to business. [Since the above was put in type we have seen the Colonel and ascertained that he has entirely recovered.] CITY COUNCIL – The City Council held a regular meeting at the Recorder’s office on last Saturday evening, and accomplished the following business – A committee was appointed consisting of Messrs. Bettingen, Sinnott and Liebe, to report on a grade, for Main street. It was ordered that an election be held on the 16th instant for the purpose of electing a City Marshall, a Recorder, and five members of the City Council. It was ordered that a special meeting be held on Wednesday evening to receive the report of the committee on grade of Main street. SUICIDED – James D. Fay, a lawyer, formerly a resident of Jacksonville, Souther Oregon, but more recently of San Francisco, suicided by shooting himself, while intoxicated, in Sprague’s saloon at Empire City, Coos county, Oregon, on the 29th of May. Mr. Fay was at Empire City attending to business he had in court. He was always supposed, by those who knew him, to be at times a little lunatic, and when we heard that he had done away with himself we were not surprised at it. He was married to a daughter of Honorable Jesse Applegate, who has been dead a number of years. We know nothing that we can say good of the man. ARRESTED FOR FORGERY – A young man by the name of R.L. Lane , from Missouri, was arrested at Astoria as he was about to leave for California, and taken back to Portland and lodged in jail, charged with forgery. He forged checks and notes to the amount of about $700 on different persons in Portland; also a pass from Walla Walla (where he was at the time he conceived the idea of turning forger) and return, including meals and stateroom, signing Captain Ainsworth’s name. So skillfully was the signature written that it passed through the hands of all the pursers as genuine, and even when it was returned to the general passenger agent, at Portland, was not discovered. FATAL ACCIDENT – On Monday of last week Mr. H.U. Myers, of the Umatilla Flouring Mills, was found dead in the mill. It seems deceased went to start up the mill before breakfast, as was his custom, and not returning, Mrs. Myers went to look for him and found him at the top of the mill, where he had been apparently to oil the main shaft, and it is thought his blouse caught in the shaft and drew him into the machinery; the flesh was completely torn off his thigh, and in this condition Mrs. Myers found him – dead. Deceased was an old and respected citizen of Umatilla, about 45 years of age, and leaves a wife and six children to mourn his untimely death. PURCHASED THEIR OUTFIT – Several weeks ago we mentioned the fact that an effort would be made by several of our merchants to induce Messrs Hamilton & Stewart, the large cattle buyers from Montana, to purchase their entire outfit here instead of at Portland, as they had intended. The result has been that Messrs. McFarland & French sold them a bill, consisting of provisions, blankets, wagons, etc, amounting in all to $800, and Mr. George Corum a bill, consisting of harness, saddles, bridles, whips, spurs, tents and wagon covers, amounting to over $400. We learn that Messrs. Hamilton & Stewart have expressed themselves as well pleased with their purchases, and say they will recommend our merchants to others who intend coming here next year to buy cattle. ANOTHER TEMPERANCE RALLY – The warfare against King Alcohol is growing hotter, and beginning to assume the nature of a hand-to-hand conflict. Enlisted in the cause are to be found many of our most gifted orators and prominent journalists, among whom are to be mentioned the latest recruits in the persons of Calvin B. McDonald and Uncle David Newsome. The former gentleman entertained the citizens of this place on last Monday evening with one of his eloquent lectures, in which his appeals in behalf of the cause of ills espoused were put forth in language most beautiful. Mr. McDonald is one of Oregon’s veteran journalists, and is accredited with being an exceptionably fine writer. He is on his way to Walla Walla and on the return trip will probably favor us with another lecture.

Many new farms were taken and new ones planted in orchards. Thus we find the ... John Irvine at Chenowith creek;... page 406 Frank Irvine "Frank Irvine is one of the leading business men of Wasco county and now stands at the head of a large general merchandise establishment at Antelope [Oregon], which his skill and progressiveness have made one of the best in this part of the county. He has an extensive town and country trade which is growing very rapidly. Mr. Irvine is known as a man of stamina and principle and his business is conducted in such a manner that he wins and retains the friendship of all who come in contact with him. Frank Irvine was born on his father's farm two miles northwest from The Dalles on October 24, 1860, his parents being John and Catherine (Keith) Irvine, the father a native of Indiana and the mother descended from an old southern family. The father's parents came from Scotland and he died at The Dalles in 1902. The mother died at The Dalles in 1898. She and her husband both came to Oregon in 1852. He came alone, being sixteen years of age, and she made the jouney in company with her parents. They settled near The Dalles and later moved to southern Oregon. Our subject's father remained near The Dalles and later took a donation claim which is now owned by a man named Allen. Mr. Irvine lived on the place some years and was there during the Indian troubles. He spent one year at the Cascades and also was occupied in the Snake war. About 1895, he sold his farm to Ed Kelsay and Joles Brothers. Kelsay soon sold the place to Mr. Allen. The elder Mr. Irvine had poor health the latter part of his life and went to California, Klamath county, Oregon, and other places to recuperate. Our subject was educated in the district schools and in the Wasco Independent Academy, after which he entered the employment of the O.R.& N. Following that, we find him engaged with Wingate & Company, and French & McFarland. In 1891 he came to Antelope and worked for Bolton & Company two months. Then he entered into business with Edward Wingate, the firm being known as Wingate & Co. Later, Mr. Irvine purchased his partners' interest and has conducted the business alone since. He carries a fifteen thousand dollar stock of well selected general merchandise and caters so thoroughly to the interests and wants of the people of the town and surrounding country that he has a very extensive and substantial patronage. He is a business man of ability and is also public spirited and broad minded so that he gives generously of his time and attention to every enterprise that is for the building up of the country. In February, 1882, at The Dalles, Mr. Irvine married Lydia M. Walker, a native of California and the daughter of William H. and Julia Walker, both now deceased. The father was a native of Missouri and came to California in the early days. Mr. Irvine has one sister, Alice, the wife of Henry Lorenzen who lives near The Dalles. Mrs. Irvine has one brother, Jeptha, who lives at St. Helens, Oregon, and three half brothers, Orville, Clarence and Preston, near Portland. Mr. and Mrs. Irvine have one child, Bertha E. Mr. Irvine is a member of the A.F. & A.M., the I.O.O.F.,the A.O.U.W. and the W.W. He is past grand of Virtue lodge, No. 40, of the I.O.O.F. and has twice been representative to the grand lodge of that order. Politically he is a Republican and takes especial interest in school matters. He has also served considerable time as city treasurer and is now a member of the council. In addition to the business above mentioned, Mr. Irvine has a half interest in a store at Ashwood, Crook county, known as the Irvine & Hamilton Mercantile House".

Illustrated History of Central Oregon, Western Historical Publishing Co., Publishers, Spokane, Washington , 1905 "Morvin Hendricson, who resides some eighteen miles east of The Dalles, on Tenmile creek was born in Albany, Oregon, on September 22, 1852. His father, William F. Hendricson, married Miss Sarah Jackson, who died at Albany, Oregon in 1892. The father now lives there. He crossed the plains first in 1845, having been formerly a farmer in Indiana and Iowa. He returned to his residence in 1847 and then recrossed the plains to the west. In the fall of 1852, he took a donation claim in Linn county and for the past thirty years has resided in Albany, renting the donation claim, which he still owns. Our subject was educated in the district schools and in Monmouth [Oregon] college, spending two winters in the last named institution. Then he rented his father's farm for two years after which he bought two hundred and forty acres near Harrisburg which was his home for nine years. Then he cme to Wasco county and filed on a homestead and preemption, which he still owns. In addition he is farming seven hundred and eighty acres, which belongs to his brother-in-law, Mr. Belshaw, a capitalist of Spokane, Washington. Mr. Hendricson raises about five hundred acres of wheat each year and handles many cattle and horses. He has fine well bred stock and also owns a threshing outfit. He has two brothers Omar P. and William, and two sisters, Mrs. Leona Huston and Mrs. Mary Belshaw. On May 3, 1874, Mr. Hendricson married Mrs. Alvira Bennett, a native of Linn county. The wedding occurred at Lebanon, Oregon. Mrs. Hendricson was the daughter of William and Laura (Rexford) Bennett, who crossed the plains to the Willamette valley in the early forties. To this union four children have been born: Lela, the wife of Manuel D. Adams, who is also mentioned in this work; Eva, the wife of Frank Blaker in East Portland; Cora, the wife of Haskell, a farmer residing in The Dalles, Oregon; and Grace, the wife of Charles Stewart. Owing to uncompatibility Mr. and Mrs. Hendricson finally separated and secured a divorce. After that, occurred the marriage of Mr. Hendricson and Mrs. Mabel Gannon, who was born in Polk county, Oregon on July 22, 1861, the daughter of Daniel C. and Mary (Abbott) Dougherty, natives of Pennsylvania and Iowa, respectively. The father died in 1903, and the mother in 1901. The mother's brother was Dr. John Abbott, a well known physician of Iowa. By her former marriage, Mrs. Hendricson had one child, Charles Stewart, who died on February 3, 1904, after an illness of two and one-half years. He was a very popular young man and highly respected. His Christian life was exemplary and the church to which he belonged, the Baptist, possessed in him one of his choicest members. He left a wife, Grace, who was the daughter of Mr. Hendricson by his former marriage, and one child, Eileen. Mrs. Hendricson has also one other child by her former marriage, Birdie, the wife of Professor Messenger, who is an instructor in a college in Quebec, Canada. Mr. Hendricson belongs to the Christian church and his wife is a member of the Baptist church. They are good substantial people, well esteemed, upright and thrifty. Since the above was written, Mr. Hendricson has sold his farm and is erecting a neat two-story house on Third street, 706 1/2, The Dalles."

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.
