The Dalles Chronicle January 25, 2004 [Text Only] “Last week’s photo showed early bridges on lower Mill Creek, where it entered the Columbia [river], long before the mouth was sealed in and the freeway birm constructed. The bridge closer to the camera was the older one for wagons. Beyond it, the Bridge with the super-structure crossed the stream at Sixth street. The white building just to the right of the center was the Robert Pentland Woolen mill which opened in the 1890s, when as much as 8,000,000 pounds of Wool came through The Dalles annually, making this the largest primary market For the commodity in the nation."

"Maximillan Vogt, former German army officer, arrived in The Dalles in the 1860's, worked first at the Umatilla House (hotel) then opened a notions store on Front Street, later went into general merchandise, called his sister Phillipine from Germany. Together they built the Max Vogt Co., which became a builder of business buildings. The opera house pictured is one of his creations. He built the Chapman block at Second and Washington, then the Vogt Block in 1890 at Second and Federal. The 1891 fire struck his buildings, he was inactive for a while, then on borrowed money rebuilt the Vogt Block to two stories high." I am seeking photographs of the Vogt Opera House.

Folks, I apologize for the advertising that recently appeared on our list. I'd like to explain how that happened, and what is being done to ensure that it doesn't happen again any time soon. Our list receives "gatewayed" postings from Rootsweb's Wasco County message boards. The posting that recently annoyed us all came to us via that route. The same message was posted to hundreds of other county boards and went to most of those lists as well before Rootsweb became aware of the problem and blocked that person's postings from the system. Rootsweb also deleted the postings from the message boards immediately. Unfortunately, none of that took place before the email reached our mailboxes. When this happens, there is nothing I can do to keep the email from going to the list the first time. I can keep that person from posting again, but I can't keep it from happening the first time. I wish I could. The only way that would be possible would be if I discontinued having the Wasco County message board postings "gatewayed" to our list. Of course I will do that if this develops into an ongoing problem, but for right now it's an isolated incident. It has been managed as best it could be under the circumstances. I appreciate your patience when the occasional spammer manages to make it through the security system. Rest assured, if they make it through once, they aren't likely to ever make it through again. If you have any comments or questions about this, please email me directly -- let's not clutter the list with further discussion of this matter. On the other hand, if you have information or questions to post about Wasco County, this list could use some livening up right now! -- Cheri Dohnal, List Administrator & County Coordinator Author, "Columbia River Gorge: Natural Treasure on the Old Oregon Trail" (Arcadia Publishing) Get your signed copy directly from the author: http://www.historysavers.com/publications.html

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2ZB.2ACE/309 Message Board Post: I know how hard it is to look at this without being skeptical. There are thousands of opportunites like this out there that promise the same things, why should this be any different? Well, for one, you only lose $6 and 6 stamps in the worst case scenario. But that won't happen, as with many things, if you just try. Results will obviously vary depending on how committed you are, but THIS IS IT. It doesn't get any easier. Make $6 turn into thousands in less than 2 months! Believe, and it will be so! Dear Friends: Greetings: I am a retired attorney. A few years ago a man came to me with a letter. He asked me to verify the fact that this was legal to do. I told him I would review it and get back to him. When I first read the letter my client brought me, I thought it was some “off-the-wall” idea to make money. A week and a half later we met in my office to discuss the issue. I told him the letter he originally brought me was not 100% legal. My client then asked me! to alter it to make it perfectly legal. I asked him to make one small change in the letter. I was still curious about the letter, so he explained to me how it works. I thought it seemed like a long shot, so I decided against participating. But before my client left, I asked him to keep me updated on his results. About two months later, he called me to tell me he had received over $800,000 in cash. I didn’t believe him, so he asked me to try this idea and find out for myself. I thought about it for a couple of days and decided I really didn’t have anything to lose, so I asked him for a copy of the letters. I followed the instructions exactly, mailed 200 copies, and sure enough, the money started coming in! It arrived slowly at first, but coming. I kept a precise record of the earnings, and in the end, it totaled $978,493! I could hardly believe it. I met with my friend for lunch to find out exactly how it worked. He told me there are quite a few similar lett! ers around, but this one is different because there are six names at t he end of the letter, not five like some others. This fact alone results in your name being in far more returns. The other fact was the help I gave him, making sure the whole thing was legal, since no one wants to take the risk of doing something illegal. By now you are surely curious to know what small changes to make. If you sent a letter like this one out, in order to be completely legal, you must actually sell something in order to receive a dollar in return. So when you send a dollar to each of the names on the list, you must include these words, “PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST” and include your name and address. This is the key to the program. The item you will receive for the dollar you sent to the six people below is the letter. At the time I first tried this idea, I was earning a good living as a lawyer. But everyone in the legal profession will tell you there is a lot of stress that comes with the job. I told myself if things worked out, I would! retired from my practice and play golf. I decided to try the letter again, but this time I sent 500 copies. Three months later , I had totaled $2,341,178! Here are a few reasons a person might give for not trying this program: Ø Some people think they can never make a lot of money with anything this simple. Ø Some are afraid they will be ridiculed for trying Ø Some dream of large sums of money, but do nothing to actually achieve it. Ø Some are just plain lazy. Ø Some are afraid of losing their investment. They think this program is designed to beat them out of a few dollars. The system works if you will just try it. But you must follow the simple instructions exactly, and in less than three months, you will receive $800,000 GUARANTEED! Keep what you are doing to yourself for awhile. Many will tell you it won`t work and will try to talk you out of your dreams. Let them know of your success after it works. LETTERS FROM PARTICIPANTS IN THIS PROGRAM: M! y name is David Rhodes. In 1992 my car was repossessed and bill collec tors were housing my. I was laid off and my unemployment ran out. In October of 1992, I received a letter telling me how to earn $800,000 anytime I wanted. Of course, I was skeptical. But because I was so desperate and virtually had nothing to lose, I gave it a try. In January 1993, my family and I went on a 10-day cruise. The next month I bought a brand new Mercedes with cash! I am currently building a home in Virginia and I will never have to work again. This money program really works perfectly every time. I have never failed to receive less than $500,000. This is a legitimate, money-making opportunity. It does not require you to sell anything or to come in contact with people. And , best of all, you only leave the house to mail the letters. If you have always believed that someday you would get the lucky break, then simply follow the instructions and make dreams come true. Larry McMahon, Norfolk, VA Six months ago, I received this letter and ignored it. Five more came wi! thin a period of time and I ignored them also. I was tempted, but I was convinced that they were just a Hoax. After three weeks of deliberating, I decided to give it a try ( not expecting much ). Two weeks went by and nothing happened. The fourth week was unbelievable! I caint say I received $800,000 but I received $400,000. For the first time in years, I am debt free. I am doing this again, only this time starting with 500 post. I strongly recommend that you follow the instructions exactly as outlined in this letter. INSTRUCTIONS 1. Immediately send $1.00 to each of the six people on the list at the end of this letter. Wrap the dollar bill in a note saying “ Please add me to your mailing list” and include your name and address. 2. Remove the name next to the #1 on the list and move the rest of the names up one position (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc…..) Then place your name in the #6 position. 3.

Keep a copy of this letter so you can use it a second time. Post it out again in six months, but Post it with the addresses you receive with each dollar. It will work better the second time. NOTE: This service is 100% legal - (Refer to title 18 section 1302 of the U.S. Postal & lottery laws) How does it work? When you send out 200 Posts, it is estimated that at least 15 people will respond and send you a $1.00. ($15.00) Those 15 will Post 200 Posts each and 225 people send you $1.00 ($225.00) Those 225 people Post 200 Posts each and 3,375 people send you $1.00 ($3,375.00) Those 3,375 post 200 posts each and 759,375 people send you $1.00 ($759,375.00) At this point your name drops off the list, but so far you have received $813,615.00.

The markets for cherries today are still lower, selling for 65 to 75 cents in Montana and Spokane [Washington]. At Denver [Colorado] cherries bring 75 to 90 cents; Omaha [Nebraska], 75 cents … There has been some talk on the streets and other places concerning the building of a telephone from The Dalles southward to Dufur [Oregon], Kingsley [Oregon] and possibly points at greater distance. In an interview with Mr. J.W. Condon, the manager of the company, that gentleman stated that his company stood ready to build the line as soon as a suitable inducement shall be given by dwellers along the route. The expense of the undertaking would be very large and unless a bonus were given the scheme could not well be considered. A telephone line to these places would be a great convenience to business men and it is hoped sufficient inducements can be given to insure its establishment.

Looking Back: From The Chronicle’s Files January 18, 2004 20 Years Ago, January 18, 1984 The medical building at the corner of Fourth and Washington [The Dalles] has begun its 61st year of service with total renovation and a new group of doctors. It was built in 1923 as the Mid-Columbia Hospital and incorporates a residential building built in 1894 as the home of circuit court judge William Bradshaw. Three physician brother, the doctors Hamilton, bought the house in 1923 and built the hospital that year. The Scenic Columbia River Highway has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places, Governor Vic Atiyeh said today. Atiyeh said the recognitions come as he is setting as his number one environmental goal the passage of federal legislation that would protect the Columbia River Gorge from unplanned development. The Judson Baptist women’s team led for most of the game and took a 56-50 win over Lewis & Clark Friday night. Kristy Boatman, Sue Walters and Tracy Giles took over the scoring honors for JBC [Judson Baptist College] with 12, 11 and 10 points respectively. Maupin’s [Oregon] Redsides hung onto their first place lead in the Deschutes League here last night with a 66-48 win over Dufur [Oregon]. John Neely paced the win with 21 points. Gary Hertel had 14 for the Rangers. 60 Years Ago, January 18, 1944 Wasco county is losing another dairy, it was announced Monday when T. E. Ranes, operator of the Alfalfa Lawn dairy in the Chenowith district, advertised his herd for sale at public auction January 20. I.N. Wiley of The Dalles is serving as substitute teacher in the Mosier [Oregon] high school, as a result of the illness of Principal J.F. Blanchard, it was revealed today by Frank Brumbaugh, county superintendent of schools. Blanchard, a veteran of the first world war, now is receiving treatment at the Veterans hospital in Portland.

Williams, a member of the committee through which rehabilitation of the old clock is progressing. The new dials were made in Seattle [Washington] and will be installed by A.W. Manchester. Four new dials, one for each face of the clock, were ordered. At a recent election of officers and directors of the Wasco Warehouse & Milling Company, E.O. McCoy was re-elected president; F.L.

They will proceed at once to float the bonds necessary, as it is the wish of the people that the construction be hastened. The typhoid fever epidemic has broken out afresh at Ione [Oregon], several miles below Heppner [Oregon]. With it has come an epidemic of diphtheria. It is reported that the diseases are of the most severe kind and that several people have died. The public schools have been closed for the past week and many of the children are ill. Never in the history of Morrow county has there been such a wholesale sickness. There [sic] diseases, it is reported, are directly caused through the great flood of last June. A portion of the creek was never properly cleaned of the debris, and typhoid fever had raged in nearly every town below there since the flood.

History Mystery Photo By Rodger Nichols of The Chronicle [Text Only] Last week’s History Mystery proved to be a tough one, which yielded only one and a half correct answers. Anita Drake knew that it was the old steam-powered electrical generation plant that once stood between First and Second street [The Dalles]. Terray Harmon picks up a half-correct answer for recognizing it as a power plant but only half because he guessed it was the old one at White River. According to the caption that accompanied the photo, this was the second power plant in The Dalles, the first having been built in 1888 at Seventh and Union streets. D.M. Smith and J.W. French purchased the plant in 1892 and moved the operation to First and Laughlin streets. Slab wood fueled the engine that drove the dynamo. Output was so limited that light bulbs above 10 watts were not permitted. Customers were allowed to burn as many as 10 bulbs each evening for a monthly fee of $1.50. Wasco Warehouse Milling Co., purchased the plant in 1902 and took it out of service after completion of the hydroelectric plant at White River Falls.
