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. He said there was a

beautiful sandy beach, visible in the photo. “You had to drive
through the creek to get to the beach,” he remembers.
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 proposed expansion at
The Dalles General Hospital was
approved unanimously by the
Eastern Oregon Health Systems
Agency Inc. board of directors on
Thursday, Mark Scott, assistant

Friday. The next step for the plan

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

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.
