charged with being in posses-

four months, by Justice Henry

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-

week that the Apple Growers
high school, will be open to all,
and parents are especially in-
vited and urged to attend.

A surprised Hood River val-
ley opened its eyes on a white
world Saturday morning, but
within two days the winter
adornment was turning to
slush. 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.

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.
