Silver gray squirrels released in county this week in 1935 1915 — 100 years ago The first shipment of Northwest apples to be made by way of the Panama Canal arrived in New York last week and was unloaded in the pink of condition. The shipment was made by the Distributors and the freight on the 23 cars of fruit, including the cost of transportation from island points to Pacific tidewater and thence to New York by boat, was $5,300. The freight direct to New York from shipping points on the 23 cars, coming by rail, would have been $8,500. 1925 — 90 years ago A man, who was arrested near Mosier last week and charged with being in posses- sion of mash for liquor mak- ing, was sentenced to pay a fine of $500 and go to jail for four months, by Justice Henry Meredith, at The Dalles on Thursday. “The next moon- shiner that comes before me will get it even harder. The maximum fine is $3000 and a year in jail.” Dame Rumor was doing her best to maintain her reputa- tion as “a lying jade” when she circulated a report last week that the Apple Growers high school, will be open to all, and parents are especially in- vited and urged to attend. 1945 — 70 years ago From Edward N. Scheiber- ling, National Commander of the American Legion, the commander of the Hood River post of the Legion, on Friday, received a message recom- mending that the names of 15 service men of Japanese an- cestry, removed from the Honor Roll November 29, after a meeting of the local post, be restored. Work preliminary to the re- modeling of the Rialto theater, which has been closed for sev- eral weeks, was started this week, when a crew undertook the job of tearing out the lath and plaster at the front end of eth building, which is to be en- tirely remodeled, to make Hood River’s Rialto theater the most modern in Oregon. JANUARY 26, 2005: It’s ours! — Judie Hanel (center) holds the deed to the building at Third and Cascade streets that will be the home of the Columbia Center for the Arts.

More than half an inch of rain Tuesday night soaked the remainder of some 25-30 inches of snow that coated the ground. In some areas, there appeared to be even more snow fall. Oak Grove roadside snow was higher than the cars. JANUARY 26, 1945 — Political cartoon Association would have to repack 150,000 boxes of apples which had “gone bad” at Ter- minal 4 in Portland. It became so instant that Manager Steele sent a man down to investi- gate. After a careful survey, he reported that the apples, which comprised of 110,000 boxes, were in splendid condi- tion and in shape to keep in prime condition for many weeks. 1935 — 80 years ago Four of the 25 silver gray squirrels which are to be re- leased in Hood River county arrived this week and are to be set free in a few days. Arrangements are being made by Teunis J. Wyers, in cooperation with the state Game commission, to secure 25 squirrels, and it is hoped that, in time, a number of colonies of these attractive animals will be established in both town and valley. The Hood River County Health association is sponsor- ing a tuberculin test to be given to all high school stu- dents sometime during Febru- ary. It is hoped that all parents will allow their children to take the examination. A talk on Tuberculosis, which is to be given to the students in a near-future assembly at the continued promotion of ski activities and building ski fa- cilities in the Cooper Spur area. Wy’east student body has completed plans to provide Hood River county with a community birthday calendar and proceeds will help pay for tennis courts at the school. The calendar will list birth dates of residents on the cor- responding day and month as well as anniversary dates for married couples. Ralph Kirby, present of the Booster Club, who introduced the plan to students, said it will also have discount offers and free mer- chandise to those persons whose birthdays are listed. 1965 — 50 years ago “You may be assured I have March 3 well marked on my calendar, and I am looking for- ward to being with you for the Orchardist of the Year ban- quet.” There was a trace of a grin on the face of Chamber of Commerce Port Manager Bur- ton Badley as he read this sen- tence from Governor Mark Hatfield. Not only did it re- lieve the pressure in finding a top speaker for the annual awards banquet, it assured Badley his arrangements for the 300 guests won’t be wast- ed. A small cemetery near Frankton road past the west edge of Hood River has re- mained hidden from most peo- ple for generations. But it has- n’t escaped the eyes of van- dals, authorities learned re- cently. Tumbled headstones, deep holes, piles of earth and shovels now mark the grave sites. An iron fence that once surrounded the cemetery now traces only one half the cir- cumference. Mt. Hood and the Hood River Valley have been pic- tured around the world on fruit box labels for years. Now an upper valley resident would like to spread the fame another way — on labels of fine fruit wines. Lester Mar- tin, who lives on Woodworth road, plans to have the prod- uct of his small, modern, on- farm fruit winery on the mar- ket for local people to savor within a couple of weeks, and he’ll also explore marketing his wines in other areas. 1985 — 30 years ago The 80-year-old Hood River Hotel, which has rested idle for nearly 15 years at Second and Cascade streets, may be given a second life soon if a proposal to restore the three- story structure goes as planned. Gayle Weisfield pro- posed to city counselors Mon- day a restoration of the build- ing that she would spearhead at little or no cost to the city of Hood River. The response was enthusiasm and excitement, and now Weisfield will contin- ue the planning stages of the estimated $1.25 million pro- ject. She hopes to have prelim- inary plans mapped out with- in the year. Champion International announced Tuesday its Dee hardboard plant will be one of several permanently shutting down because of continuing unprofitability in the wood products industry. Plant Manger Dick Davis met with workers this week to review the decision, which will re- move Champion entirely from the Hood River scene after many years as one of the county’s largest industries. 1995 — 20 years ago Voters in Cascade Locks will get a chance to see their input in action on the March 28 ballot. Cascade Locks city councilors unanimously ap- proved a resolution Monday that determined the current city charter is outdated and in need of amending, therefore putting amendments to the charter before a vote of the people. The original city char- ter was drawn up in 1937 and was last amended in 1978. Two of Hood River Coun- ty’s most successful communi- ty service agencies, HOusing for PEople (HOPE) and the Mi- grant Head Start Program, teamed up in recent weeks in an effort to expand the Park- dale Child Development Cen- ter/Migrant Head Start pro- gram to the Odell and Pine Grove areas. If all goes well, the Odell Migrant Head Start site could be operating as soon as July. 2005 — 10 years ago The Hood River City Coun- cil has a new member who plans to bring the interests of the Hispanic community to the table. Martin Campos- Davis is well qualified to rep- resent the Latino population, according to Mayor Linda Rouches, who said that per- spective has long been sought by the elected body. “I take the opportunity to serve on the Hood River City Council to heart. I look forward to repre- senting one of the populations of the city that may not have had a clear voice,” said Cam- pos-Davis of the appointment. The Cascade Locks High School girls basketball team has been on a roll this season, jumping out to a 7-0 start be- fore evening out a bit at 11-3 overall (3-3 in the Big Sky Con- ference). Coach Donna Nolin’s club has shown strength, ma- turity and athleticism in most every game this season, in- cluding last Friday’s 39-24 road win over Arlington. Nolin specifically commended the play of junior forward Holly Goben. — Compiled by Trisha Walker, news staff writer VERBATIM Buttons make offer on bridge road This week, a represen- tative of the Button fami- ly, who own the property through which the pro- posed road to the bridge head will pass if this one of the three plans is ac- cepted, stated that the family will be willing, if the county wishes it, to deed the land required at a very nominal cost, pro- viding the county will move the old house which now stands immediately above where the cut would be made. He stated that the Button family recognizes the impor- tance of the project to Hood River, and will do all in its power to aid the pro- ject. There is also reason to believe that at least one member of the county court is strongly in favor of the project of making a cut through the Button property directly east of the bridge over Hood River and extending the road to a point just east of the Standard Oil plant, at which point it would enter the old ferry road. This new road would pass beneath the railroad tracks almost on grade and would be entirely free from high water trouble. Many residents of Hood River strongly favor this project, and both local newspapers are agreed that this is the most logical plan to se- cure a permanent road be- tween Hood River and the O r e g o n - Wa s h i n g t o n bridgehead, the Glacier having editorially en- dorsed it in this week’s issue. — Hood River News, January 30, 1925
