Assuming that in the near
future the present fertile
farms of Western Oregon
will be in urgent need of fer-
tilizing materials, State Engi-
neer Lewis has recommended
some action to be taken to
make use of the great kelp
beds along the Oregon coast
in order to save the enormous
amount of potash which is
annually going to waste.
1925 — 90 years ago
Over 70 members were pre-
sent at the annual dinner of
the Hood River County
Chamber of Commerce Mon-
day, when the election of
President and officers for the
coming year were carried out
with the following results:
President, A.F. S. Steele; vice-
president, Col. W.S. Dowd,
R.E. Scott and H.L. Shoemak-
er. Hold over members of the
board are: Leroy Childs, F.A.
Olmstead, A.F.S. Steele and
Geo. R. Wilber.
L.J. Daniels, better known
as “Shorty,” has decided to go
into business for himself and
naturally has chosen the line
he has followed for many
years. He has equipped a
laundry with all electrical ap-
pliances and is ready for busi-
ness. Shorty was five years
with Hood River laundry and
for seven years previous to
that, was head laundryman
for the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road.
1935 — 80 years ago
New construction of Plan
No. 2 of the Federal Housing
Act, is ready to be put into op-
eration. The First National
Bank has full information re-
garding plan No. 2 and will
make loans under this part of
the Act. Mr. Ericson will have
charge of the Better Housing
campaign and will be located
in the Chamber of Com-
merce. The purpose of this
campaign is to help people in
making their plans to remod-
el or build new houses this
spring.
The backing up of water by
Bonneville Dam will call for
the building of new ap-
proaches on both ends of the
bridge, to provide overhead
railroad crossings, says E.M.
Chandler, president of the
Oregon-Washington Bridge
Company. It is planned to
straighten the White Salmon
approach to meet the Ever-
green highway on a practical-
ly straight line. The Hood
River approach will be raised
and straightened, provide an
overhead railroad crossings
and meet the Columbia high-
way on practically a straight
line, eliminating the present
river road which is to be
flooded over when the dam is
complete.
1945 — 70 years ago
Oregon has been given a
conditional promise of 5,000
Mexican farm laborers for
the coming season, compared
with 5,200 used last year. Ac-
tual arrival of the Mexicans,
who have proved so satisfac-
tory in the past two years, de-
pends upon successful negoti-
ation for the recruitment in
and transportation from Mex-
ico. General Philip G. Burton,
administrator of the office of
labor, is actively working
with the Mexican govern-
ment in an attempt to over-
come some of the problems
that arose last year in the
course of the season’s negoti-
ations.
The Neal Creek Lumber
Company’s sawmill, adjoin-
ing the Loop highway, was
completely destroyed by fire,
of unascertained origin on
Thursday of last week. Only
the early arrival of the auxil-
iary pumper from Hood River
to cooperate with several
small firefighting units, made
it possible to save the adjoin-
ing planer and other nearby
buildings.

Seventy-five years ago last
Sunday the first Sunday
School in Hood River County
was organized. On that date
21 persons gathered for reli-
gious services in the Hans
Lage home and the Pine
Grove Community Sunday
School was formed. The 75th
anniversary celebration was
attended by approximately
150 persons Monday. Earl
Moore, who came to Pine
Grove in 1906, grew up with
the church which was dedi-
cated April 28, 1907. Earl
found in his father’s diary
that he was a teacher of the
adult Bible class at the time.
Hood River’s swimming
pool ended the 1954 season
with a $3,698.20 deficit, re-
ported William Sylvester,
recorder, to the Monday night
city council meeting. Mayor
Charles Howe and City Attor-
ney John Mohr reminded
that the pool was open to all
children in the county and
was therefore a service of-
fered by the city for both city
and county children.
More than 11 feet of snow
coated the mountainside
when a measuring crew
made its way into the Hood
River Meadows ski area
early this month. Measure-
ment at the mid-base section
of the proposed meadows ski
area was 126 inches. “And it
was probably 20 feet at the
upper level,” said one mem-
ber of the crew.
Freeway work between
Mitchell Point and Cascade
Locks, the largest project of
its kind in Hood River coun-
ty history, will soon move
into the construction phase.
Mor rison-Knudsen, the
Idaho based firm which won
the contract, is expected to
start work on the 13.5 mile
section as soon as details of
work schedules are worked
out and equipment is ready
to go. August 1966 is the com-
pletion date for the $6,245,500
project.

Western Power Products, a
Portland-based fir m that
manufactures equipment of
the electric utilities industry,
signed papers Monday to con-
struct a manufacturing plant
on Port of Hood River indus-
trial proper ty. William
Bright, president of Western
Power Products, hopes to
have the Hood River plant op-
erating by “early June” this
year. Under the agreement,
the $300,000 metal building
which will house the manu-
facturing operation will be
constructed to company spec-
ifications through Port of
Hood River financing. It will
be located on a four-acre tract
at the northwest corner of
the Port of Hood River’s in-
dustrial site near the Colum-
bia River.
A team of leaders from
Oregon Rural Opportunities,
the state-wide version of the
former Willamette Valley-
based Valley Migrant League,
drew a crowd estimated at
over 120 persons when they
held an election meeting here
Tuesday. Many of the persons
attending posed questions an-
tagonistic to the meeting or-
ganizers, who have been the
target of opposition ever
since the Valley Migrant
League entered the program
which has led to its name
change and expansion to Ore-
gon Rural Opportunities.

New meaning to the term
“winter storm” arrived in
Hood River with the month
of February. It started with
pipe-busting sub-zero tem-
peratures early, followed by
repeated storms bring every
texture of snow, from powder
to slush, to the valley. The
storm was a particular disas-
ter to a business not usually
associated with cold weather.
Jose’s Taco House had sched-
uled its 15th anniversary cel-
ebration Thursday and Fri-
day, but the business was
completely snowed in.
Owner Jose Castilla noted
that “we will still be rolling
our prices back to the 1970
menu when we opened,” but
it will come a week later than
planned.
Jim Kelly, who has been
general manager of the Hood
River News for the past four

named publisher of the New-
berg Graphic, and will be
succeeded by News market-
ing manager Roy Stollery.

Purple Rocks Art Bar and
Café is the place to be Thurs-
day nights. For high school
students, Purple Rocks, locat-
ed at 606 Oak Ave., has been a
place to go to be with friends,
enjoy entertainment and — of
course — have something to
eat. What makes Thursday
evenings different is that the
restaurant is operated by stu-
dents as part of an arts and
communications
class,
taught by Steve Labadie, at
Hood River Valley High
School.
For an entire elementary
school to keep a secret for two
months from its principal,
well, that deserves some
recognition. However in this
case, the recognition goes to
the principal. Pine Grove Ele-
mentary Principal Doug
Mahurin has been named ad-
ministrator of the year by the
Oregon Reading Association
thanks to a nomination by
the students and staff of the
school. Mahurin learned of
the award for the first time at
an all-school assembly
Wednesday.

The crowd gathered at the
Mt. Hood Express chairlift
line was already throbbing
with anxiety by 8:30 a.m.
Monday. Thirty minutes later,
when Mt. Hood Meadows ski
lift operators sent the first
four skiers up to 5,400 feet for
first tracks on the 18 inches of
snow that fell throughout last
weekend, somebody fired a
loud “Whooop!”
Ripples of uncertainty
have once again ruffled the
seemingly placid surface of a
waterfront plan. The latest
warning that a storm could
be brewing on the horizon
has been issued by Port of
Hood River attorney Jerry
Jaques. Last week, he in-
formed port commissioners
that some new language in-
corporated by the City of
Hood River in a proposed
agreement for park develop-
ment was “ambiguous and
unworkable.” His words eeri-
ly echoed comments recently
expressed by Bend developer
William Smith over the ac-
companying mixed-use zon-
ing plan.

BEFORE MEMORIES FADE:
Uncovering the Story of the Kida Family of White Salmon
When evacuation orders
were issued in April of 1942,
Kenjiro and Kay Kida, along
with their son George, were
farming, raising cattle, and
growing fruit on their family
operated ranch outside of
White Salmon. Classified as
“enemy aliens” by their own
government, the Kida family
had days to pack only what
they could carry and report to
the Portland Assembly Center.
The Kidas’ experience was
not unlike those of 120,000 oth-
ers of Japanese ancestry who
were forcibly removed from
the West Coast. What made
their story unique is that
upon evacuation, residents of
the town of White Salmon
signed a petition attesting to
the character of their “good
neighbors” and asking an ex-
ception be made of these
“loyal citizens.”
Both heartbreaking and in-
spirational, Before Memories
Fade gives voice to a family’s
story that was at risk of being
lost forever. Using first-hand
materials and community rec-
ollections, our all-volunteer
exhibit committee has been
able to walk in the footsteps of
Kenjiro and Kay Kida and
their son George. While this
branch of the Kida ended
when George passed away in
1998, the memory of the fami-
ly continues to be carried in
the hearts of their friends and
neighbors.
This hands-on, multimedia
exhibit analyzes photographs,
oral histories, newspaper arti-
cles, and other primary re-
sources. As history detectives,
our audience of youth and
adults alike are encouraged to
discover history for them-
selves. Visitors are able to
watch videos and view photos
of our exhibit committee vis-
iting historic sites, interview-
ing friends and neighbors of
the Kidas, and uncovering
clues that tells us more about
the family.
We invite you to join us on
their journey from immigra-
tion, through World War II, to
the end of a century. Along the
way, find out how the road that
led us to the Kidas intersects
not just one Japanese Ameri-
can family but the American
experience itself.
Join us for Family Day at
Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center,
121 NW 2nd Ave, Portland, OR
97209, Sunday, Feb. 15, 2015,
from noon to 3 p.m. Free ad-

tivities for all ages.
