Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicles Files July 4, 2004 20 Years Ago, July 5, 1984 Sam Knowland provided the pitching and Shawn Fulk the hitting as Pepsi completed a dream season by defeating Martin Marietta 3-0 for the Little League city championship Wednesday afternoon at 16th Street ball park. With the win, Pepsi brought the championship trophy back to the east side of town. Pepsi earned the right to play in the finale by winning the American LL title, while Marietta took the western. 40 Years Ago, July 6, 1964 The Dalles American Legion team split a double-header Sunday at Albany [Oregon], winning the first game 4 to 2 and dropping the second 4 to 3. Jerry Peterson was the winning pitcher for The Dalles in the opening game. In the second game, The Dalles pitcher John Lee and Terry Allen bumped heads going for a fly ball near the first base line. Lees head was cut and he was taken to a local hospital, where two stitches were taken to close the cut. Gene Hendrick, social science teacher at Wasco County Union High School, Maupin, and a former member of The Dalles High School facility, is one of 25 instructors awarded a resident fellowship by the Institute of American Studies. 60 Years Ago, July 5, 1944 Mrs. Thompson Coberth, chairman of the work at the Red Cross surgical dressing station at Hotel Dalles, reports for the month of June, 5,525 dressings made by 58 women who have spent 486 work hours there this month. Of these dressings, 1,150 are credited to Dufur, where Mrs. Louis Bleim is chairman. 80 Years Ago, July 5, 1922 Chief of police Frank Heater, in making a report to the city council for the month of June stated Thursday night that 59 arrests had been made in his department, resulting in convictions in all but two cases, with subsequent fines imposed in the amount of $530, of which $350 was collected and the remainder served out in jail sentences. Of the 59 arrests, 39 were for drunkenness, seven were involved in liquor law violations, five were beggars and the rest were taken in for fighting or disorderly conduct.

It was very fortunate that it did not come in contact with any individual, or we would have had a fatal accident to chronicle today. The recorders court had five cases of drunkenness this morning as the result of patriotic exhilaration yesterday. Two of those were retained to work on the streets and the others departed, promising hereafter to conduct themselves soberly. Slot machines and other gambling devices were removed from all places of business early this morning. Drays were busy during the early hours removing these to warehouses or shipping them away. Thus the way is being cleared for the new regime in municipal matters. Have a Safe and Fun 4th of July 2004!
