A2 Weekend of January 4-5, 2020 The Dalles Chronicle TheDallesChronicle.com HISTORY History Mystery Don Budd and Terray Harmon contributed to this report. Last week’s History Mystery, above, is a view the Seufert Borthers Cannery, photographed from a boat on the Columbia River in 1947. According to The Oregon Encyclopedia, a project of the Oregon Historical Society, “In 1884, Francis A. and Theodore J. Seufert built their first wheel on land they had purchased three miles east of The Dalles. They initially leased part of the property to another partnership, Everding and Farrell, which built a salmon cannery there in 1886. Ten years later, Seufert Brothers bought the facility for $2,500, beginning a process of expansion that would culminate in the ownership of four canneries, more than a dozen fish wheels, and much of the riparian property between The Dalles and Celilo Falls, about fifteen miles upriver. The company’s prodigious output helped make canned salmon Oregon’s second largest export in the early twentieth century, but it also contributed to the precipitous decline of fish runs during the same period.” Terray Harmon said the cannery, located near where The Dalles Dam Visitor Center is today, was torn down in the late 1970s. Many of the buildings were vacant at the time, but one of the buildings housed the Winquat Museum in the late ‘60s and ‘70s, which his mother curated for years. The dugout ca- noe now on display at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center was at the museum for many years, Harmon said, “but no one really knows were those artifacts all went” after the museum shut down. A home fair was also held at the property, with booths and displays from different businesses. The museum appeared to take its name from a Wasco To guess this week’s photo, above, email Mark Gibson at MGibson@thedalleschronicle.com or call 541-296-2141, ext. 107, and leave a message.

In describing the “long narrows” immediately east of The Dalles, Gold writes, “There were two major trade Markets in this area: Nixluidix, a Wishram town located on the north side of Wauna, near what is now Horse Thief Park. The southern Market on the south of Wauna (the Columbia River) was Winquat, a Wasco town. The Wasco fishing village, Wac’uqs, is nearby, and continues to be used as a fishing sight.” Regarding the previous History Mystery of the wreck of the steam-powered sternwheeler Georgie Burton, Don Budd noted the vessel was planned as a maritime museum, rather than a general or historical museum.

The 6 represents sin cursed mortal human flesh. The 8 represents immortalized human flesh. The 3 tells us that human beings will be miraculously changed from mortal death prone flesh into immortal life giving flesh during 3 different gatherings or immortalization events. The first was the Feast of Unleavened Bread or Passover foretelling the resurrection from the grave of Yahshua to an immortal blood free flesh and bone body. We read in Luke 24 that upon being transformed from a #6 carbon based mortal body into a #8 oxygen based immortal body he is not a ghost or “spirit.” “See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself, touch me and see, for a (ghost) spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” The 2nd festival celebrated by the Jews living under the Law of Moses was the Feast of First Fruits or Pentecost. This festival was a projection forward to the still future event when all the human beings from Adam and Eve to our time who have accepted the one truth will be resurrected from their graves and transformed. 1st Cor. 15, “in Messiah all shall be made alive, but each in his own order, Messiah the first fruits, after that those how are Messiah’s at his coming.” The last festival foretelling the 3rd event is most interesting for it connects the # 8. g.d. fischer THE LINK $ 1 50 zionman@netcnct.net 541-296-8578 off Diamond & Gemstone* *10K gold unless otherwise specified. 70 % ALL BRAS AND PANTIES 60 % ALL Christmas ALL Fashion Clothing Decorations ARTIFICIAL CHRISTMAS TREES OFF OFF 60 50 60 % % % off to off 50 40 % off % off ALL Cosmetics PLUS ALL Ready-To-Assemble Furniture EVERYTHING for the Bed and Bath Now Hiring, Full & Part Time Seasonal Help, apply in store or online @ https://jobs.sears.com STORE FIXTURES, FURNITURE & EQUIPMENT FOR SALE NOW!
