Weekend of March 7-8, 2020   B5 The Dalles Chronicle TheDallesChronicle.com HISTORY History Mystery Joann Johnston, Michael Houser, Terray Harmon, Gary Conley, Caroline Zeigler, Larry Hoctor, Mike Kilkenney and Ed Wilson contributed to this report. Last week’s History Mystery, above, is an “aerial of Harvey Aluminum with farms along the river.” It is from the digital archives of The Dalles Chronicle. Michael Houser said the photo was likely taken between 1958 and 1964. A few highlights of what was there—Harvey Aluminum, The Dalles Drive-Inn Theater, Jones Auto Wrecking, Mt. Fir logging and I-82N, renamed to I-84 in 1980. The Klindts family, for which the Klindt’s Cove Pocket Park is named, was farming along the river on land that has since become the Port of The Dalles Industrial Park. Their home can be seen in the lower left side of the photo, and Chenowith creek is on the right, said Terray Harmon.

Ed Williams said he worked at the plant 23 1/2 years, first for Harvey and later for Northwest Aluminum. LOOKING BACK 20 years ago — 2000 Improving runs will bring the welcome return of a spring chinook sport fishery on the Deschutes this year. Oregon Department of Fish and wildlife will open the Deschutes River to angling for hatchery spring chi- nook from April 15 through July 31, the agency announced Friday. The season will be the first in four years and the first seven-day-a- week fishery since 1993. Amtrak’s Pioneer could ride the rails again – if cities along the route, including the Dalles, chip in to bring it back. That was the pitch made to The Dalles City Council last Monday by Wayne Kinney of Sen. Ron Wyden’s of- fice. Wyden is working on a plan to bring back the Pioneer, gone since 1997. While the original Pioneer route ran from Chicago to Portland, the proposed revived route would be much shorter, running from Boise to Portland. Concerns regarding confi- dentiality, costs and follow up counseling topped the list of questions by more than 40 par- ents and students at a presenta- tion given by SATURN research- ers last night at The Dalles High School. SATURN, which stands for Student Athlete Testing Using Random Notification, is a feder- ally funded program developed by Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) researchers to determine if the threat of a random, no-advance warning drug testing will prevent students from using drugs and alcohol. After 34 years of working for the U.S. government, Robert Ames spent his first day of retire- ment sleeping like there was no tomorrow. Until March 1, Ames worked as a power plant elec- trician for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. He was one of the people who worked on high and low voltage electrical equipment ensuring that the spillways, locks and fish ways functioned proper- ly. During his career, Ames put in countless hours working on The Dalles Dam, Bonneville Dam and John Day Dam. The new Staples sore is open and ready to do business in The Dalles.

The next step for the plan is approval by the State Health Planning and Development Agency which meets on March 26. Once you enter the People’s Republic of China, you lose control of what you want to do, according to George (Bun) Stadelman, The Dalles. “The government has great control over its people, despite the fact that only 15 percent are communists.” “This is because the state controls 100 percent of the cities, and many of those living in the countryside, live in communes,” he told The Dalles Kiwanis Club Thursday. Local police are seeking public help in locating a 24-year-old prison escapee who was seen in The Dalles earlier this week, but eluded officers.

The donors were John Thomas, Don DesRochers and Ed Spangler.

Economists see a “new kind of world” after the present war is concluded: a world the like of which most persons at present have no realization nor conception. It really makes little difference which side wins the war, insofar as altered world conditions are concerned...the entire world, except the United States, will be bankrupt when peace comes again.
