Columbia Gorge News www.columbiagorgenews.com Wednesday, October 20, 2021 B5 HISTORY July Fourth At Stevenson VERBATIM Rescuers Pack Lost Hunter To Safety Near Parkdale Sopping wet, skinned up and shivering in the Mount Hood night air, 73-year-old Ranes Redding, Parkdale, was rescued by a party of Alpinees last Thursday night after he became lost during a “short hunting trip” south of Parkdale. Under direction of Sheriff Rupert Gillmouthe, a rescue team of Crag Rats and Alpinees had fanned out to find the elderly sports- man after his companion reported him missing from a rendezvous point at nightfall that day. They searched from 7 p.m. until about 10 p.m. before the Alpinee group found Redding sitting near a branch of Dog River, deep in the woods that borders the new Highway 35 stretch from Mt. Hood Post Office to Polallie Creek. “I need a bath and some rest, I’ll be OK,” was Redding’s answer to the Sheriff’s urging that he go to Hood River Hospital for a checkup. Sheriff Gillmouthe said the man’s soaked and shiv- ering condition indicated danger of pneumonia or exposure reaction, to the rescue team. But Redding, according to Gillmouthe, Fourth of July Parade, Stevenson, Wash., 1912. Driver: Stanley Huston, father of Amy Huston Obrist and Ella Huston Hovey, The Dalles. Driver: Ed Miller.

YESTERYEARS 1921 — 100 years ago A number of Hood River and Mosier residents were on hand on Wednesday af- ternoon, when the A.D. Kern Co. laid the last truckload of hot stuff on the highway east of this city and put the fin- ishing link in between Hood River and Mosier, which are now only six smooth miles apart. This does away with the old Mosier hill which, for fully six long months of the year, was almost impassable to motor vehicles. — Hood River News A special train arrived from Portland last night with railroad officials and was side tracked in the block east of the depot near the Umatilla house when the shooting began. A Buckley, superintendent, and J.F. Corbett, assistant superin- tendent were sitting on a baggage truck, according to their story. When the bullets began to whiz in their direc- tion, they decided it was time to hunt cover. Corbett is not a small man and Buckley will tip the scales at about 275 pounds. They tried hiding under the truck and behind telephone poles, which was not at all satisfactory, the telephone pole especially being too narrow for a man of Buckley’s dimensions. He then ran for the depot. Their car was reported by specta- tors to have been perforated by shots. — The Dalles Daily Chronicle 1941 — 80 years ago The great importance of the coming annual Red Cross Roll Call in Hood River County was stressed by Mrs. Margaret Barmejo, field secretary of the Red Cross of the State of Oregon, at a meting of leaders of the local chapter, held at Library Hall Monday evening of this week, with Max Taylor, president of the chapter, pre- siding. Mrs. Barmejo urged all present to put forth every effort to increase member- ship in the local chapter. — Hood River News Officers and members of the 83rd company, United States army, scheduled to bivouac in The Dalles Wednesday night en route from the Aberdeen prov- ing grounds, Md., to Fort Lewis, Wash., will be fittingly entertained by local public officials and organiza- tions, according to plans announced here today by H.A. Vind, chairman of the forum and conventions committee of the Chamber of Commerce. — The Dalles Daily Chronicle just completed a radio “quick call” installation that ties it in with the City of Hood River’s “quick call” system.” Residents of the West Side district should dial “O,” tell the operator of their emer- gency and declare that they are residents of the West Side district. — Hood River News School boards and admin- istrators in the five north- ern Wasco County school districts will name com- mitteemen to study three school merger proposals as the result of a meeting at Chenowith school Thursday evening. — The Dalles Daily Chronicle 1981 — 40 years ago A poor cherry crop and a handcuffed construction market are to blame for increased unemployment in Wasco and Hood River counties, according to a State of Oregon bulletin. Unemployment in Hood River County jumped 5.3% in August to 17.1%, almost 10 times higher than the national average. The August unemployment figure in Wasco County was up 1.7% to 6.9%. Both were said to be coming back down with the brine cherry, pear and apple harvests well underway. — Hood River News A local hunter, who was reported missing Monday morning, is hospitalized for treatment of injuries he re- ceived when his pickup went over an embankment in the Bigelow Canyon area near Rufus. The driver said the brakes on his vehicle failed while he was headed down a hill in the canyon, and it went over a 50-foot bank. — The Dalles Daily Chronicle 2001 — 20 years ago Ralph Kirby and Allen Moore, both lifetime res- idents of the Hood River Valley, will be honored as 2001 Diamond Pioneers by the Oregon State University College of Agricultural Sciences on Thursday in Corvallis. The two men will be recognized for their lifetime contributions to agri- culture, natural resources, OSU and their communities. — Hood River News MAUPIN — After a spring and summer chasing salmon with a boat, Harold Blackwolf savored fishing the way his ancestors did. Tying a rope around his waist, he stepped to the edge of a wooden platform and swung a net affixed to a 15- foot pole into the churning waters of Sherars Falls on the Deschutes River, hauling up a thrashing Chinook.

Mrs. Redding had been gone from the Parkdale home that day and did not know her husband was on the late-evening hunting trip, said Gillmouthe. Of the rescue, Gillmouthe said it came “just in time.” “He was down when we found him, if he’d spent all night out there, I doubt he could have stood the cold at that age — he was soaking wet.” Redding had apparently stumbled into the creek sev- eral times in his attempt to locate his position. He was to have met hunting partner Stanley Miller at the Dog Creek Bridge on Highway 35 at 6 p.m. Contact was made when the weary hunter, who’d skinned his ankle and leg sliding down a bank to the creek, spotted two rescuers’ flashlights and called them. The rescue party got aid, then carried Redding to the road. — Oct. 19, 1961, Hood River News Bartletts Bring Very Good Prices With pools on Bartlett pears now closed in the Apple Growers Association, growers and the sales man- ager, P.F.
