History Mystery
Gary Conley, Terray Harmon, Kathy Shebley, Russ Brown
and Bill Johnson contributed to this report.
Last week’s History Mystery, above, was published on page
one of the Jan. 31, 1970 issue of The Dalles Chronicle under
the headline “Riverfront, downtown projects begin.” It was
one of two photographs: the first was of work on “a protective
dike on the upriver side of boat launching ramp at the small
boat harbor on the Columbia River being built by Wasco
County highway crews.”
The picture above was captioned, “June 1 deadline is what
workers will be shooting for in construction of the Tapadera
Motel, including a dining room and lounge, as work began
this week. Among subcontractors on the project are a number
of local firms, including John Milne & Son plumbing, heating
and air conditioning, Hire Electric, Brown Roofing, The Dalles

Linoleum, Jack Fisher Painting and Kennelly Glass.”
Gary Conley correctly identified the construction site, and
said the small building in the background, located at the
corner of Union Street, was Railway Express, which shipped
baggage and packages via the railroad. The Dalles Grain
Elevators, since burned and demolished, are also visible. Bill
Johnson also noted the Railway Express, which is now gone
as well.
Russ Brown said the view was through what was once the
site of The Dalles Hotel, now the location of the Tapadera
Motel. The operator of the bulldozer is almost certainly Dale
Taylor on his 955, he said.

rustling and illegal slaughter.
Oregon State Livestock Office

the case. According to the Wasco
County Sheriff’s office, the
remains of a beef was found near
the highway on the property of a
Mosier rancher.
Bill Hamilton, senior at The
Dalles High School, was an-
nounced today as U. S. National

college graduation, at a starting
salary of $5,000 annually.
The March of Dimes fund
rose to $3,571.64 here today

School Booster Girls added an-
other $140.41 to the fund. Other
receipts included $744.35 from
the mail appeals and $469.50
from the scrolls distributed in the
downtown section of The Dalles.

ODELL – An apple a day
wouldn’t even come close to the
quantity required in duplicating
the menu for the fourth annual
Awards Banquet attended by
more than 500 persons at Wy’
East High School gym last night.
Apple jelly, apple onion casse-
role, apple and sweet potatoes,
apple slaw, apple pie—these
were just a few of the special
dishes that accompanied turkey
and ham in the dinner, prepared
by women of the Pine Grove
Grange Home Economics Club.
INDANAPOLIS, Ind. (UPI)—
Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.)
is expected to announce
Thursday his entry into the
Indiana presidential prefer-
ence primary. No other major

34 national convention votes.

42 years, died at his home, 700
West Thirteenth Street, yesterday
afternoon. Mr. Darnielle had
been ill for two years.
The new East Hill school,
latest of The Dalles’ educational
facilities, has been opened for
the spring term. Two primary
grades are now being taught in
the school and this week two
additional grades will be thrown

LOOKING BACK
20 years ago — 2000
The savings account that
helped run the 911 Center for
five years is gone, and now
police and fire agencies must
pay the piper – big time. The
Dalles Police Department, Wasco
County Sheriff’s Office, and Mid-
Columbia Fire and Rescue are
each facing a doubling—at the
very least—of their yearly contri-
bution to the dispatch center.
At school board prompting,
Chenowith School District 9
revised its 2000-01 calendar to
avoid half days in the same week
there are full days off. The board
gave the revised schedule a
passing grade Jan. 20, unani-
mously approving the schedule
presented by superintendent
James Kiefert. Teacher in-service
days are generally scheduled for
half days every other Wednesday
in District 9, with students on an
early release schedule.
A Tygh Valley woman and
active community volunteer is
in the burn center at Portland’s
Emanuel Hospital following
a house fire Sunday evening.
Neighbors helped Margie Pierce
escape from a rear window of her
single-wide mobile home after
hearing an explosion, according
to Mike Wirth of the Tygh Valley
Fire Department.
Eric Gross isn’t just like
‘Everybody,’ the tune he took
from the Backstreet Boys and
turned into a pep band arrange-
ment. Instead, the talented
Wahtonka High senior is a
unique, one-of-a-kind musician.
“In all my years (of teaching), he’s
probably the most gifted,” says
Wahtonka band director Steve
Hodges, who’s composed and
arranged songs of his own. “He’s
the first one to sit down and do
a full-scale arrangement for a
band.”
ARLINGTON – The Rangers
have been forced to adjust to a
familiar game plan against them
recently. Teams have been dou-
ble-teaming Ben Morris inside
in an effort to control the 6-foot
5 post. So far, thanks in part to
the outside shooting of Luke and
Lance Lindell, that transition
is going quite smoothly. The
No. 1 ranked Rangers bombed
Arlington 74-52 Friday Night.
ATHENA—The Sherman Husky
boys hoop team remained in
second place Saturday, upending
third-place Weston-McEwen
59-46 in Athena. Sherman
senior Asa Richelderfer scored
20 points to lead all scorers,
while Josh Macnab added 12.
Justin Miller and Josh Thomas
each potted eight points for the
Huskies.
HELIS—Like Tigger of Winnie
the Pooh fame, the Dufur Ranger
girls’ basketball team bounced
back quickly. After a horrific
second half showing in a home
loss to St. Paul on Tuesday, the
Rangers rallied back, topping
Griswold 47-28 on the road
Saturday. “I was happy to see it
on the road,” said Dufur coach
Hal Lindell. “Because that’s a
long trip (over by Pendleton),
especially after we got beat like
that the other night.
SALEM (AP)—Gov. John
Kitzhaber and the Legislature
have been in a perpetual joust
over land use planning, and
whether that’s so in his final
legislative session will have a lot
to do with who runs the place.
Either way, aides suggest, don’t
assume Kitzhaber will propose a
bunch of new laws.

The best advice Chuck Phipps
ever got on being city attor-
ney was the simple question:
“Will it work?” Phipps officially
ended more than 31 years as the
part-time attorney for the city

The Dalles High Booster Club
said goodbye to former president
Mel Mothershead last Friday,
honoring him with a special
award as booster of the month,

Dalles until last week, when
he was reassigned to a similar
position with the Penney’s store

Oregon.
Darryl Stingley, the former
New England Patriots wide
receiver whose career was ended
by a paralyzing tackle in an exhi-
bition game, is one of six finalists

paralyzed from the neck down
as a result of a jarring tackle by
Oakland’s Jack Tatum in an Aug.
12, 1978 exhibition game.
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (UPI)—
Jack’s back, and that could prove
to be a lot of trouble for those
with eyes on the $54,000 prize
in the $300,000 Bing Crosby
National Pro-Am. Jack Nicklaus,
the man who used to cast a
shadow over the field every time
he played, made his 1980 debut
Thursday, and new swing and all
he shot a 69 at Cypress Point.

said today it will boycott the
Moscow Olympics in retaliation

full cargo of 230,000 gallons of
petroleum products this morning
at River Terminals following
arrival from Portland. She will go

leum products for Umatilla.
Posters Distributed—Posters
calling attention to the fourth
national social hygiene day
were distributed today by
Bob Kasberger and Jimmy

Court in the rights-of-way ad-
justments on the Columbia River
highway between The Dalles
and Mosier, asking reimburse-
ment to the amount of $1975
were filed in the circuit court
this morning.
With a charter membership
of 30 young men, The Dalles
Amateur Athletic club has been
formed. The law preventing mi-
nors from frequenting pool halls,
which is being rigidly carried out,
is responsible to great degree
for the launching of the athletic
organization.
The school children of Wasco
County will be asked to strive for
a mark of $1400 in thrift contest
instigated by the government.
By January 21, 1921, it is hoped
that the Oregon students will
have raised $500,00. This is the
state’s quota as set by the United
State Treasury Department.
Thrift stamps and War Saving
stamps are the means by which
students are urged to start
saving.
