City Council grants permission for
construction of swimming pool in 1915
1915 — 100 years ago
At the meeting of the
City Council Monday night
a committee was named to
represent the city in the
matter of establishing a
city swimming pool. The
Council committee, which
has been given power to act,
granted a permit to build
the proposed concrete
swimming pool on the city
park grounds at the corner
of 13th and May streets. It is
proposed to construct a pool
30 by 75 feet in size. In order
to do this work, the commit-
tee proposed to ask for pub-
lic contributions.
On Friday evening, April
9, the new Parkdale orches-
tra makes its bow to the
public by giving a dance at
McIsaac’s Hall. The boys
should receive encourage-
ment by a good attendance
as their musical ability is
known to all and it marks a
step in the progress of any
community to have an or-
chestra of its own.
1925 — 90 years ago
The local sheriff ’s office
is at a loss to know what to
do with five very small boys
of Oak Grove who were
picked up at the Oak Grove
store last week when the of-
ficers had hidden them-
selves in the store to arrest
buglers. The officers had re-
ceived information that the
store might be robbed and
several entered the building
and hid themselves after
dark. Sometime afterwards,
they heard a noise and iden-
tified it as a window being
opened.
Giving the burglars time
to enter, the officers sud-
denly switched on the lights
and there, blinking and ter-
ribly scared, stood five tiny
boys. They confessed they
had entered the store to
take candy. There have been
a number of petty thefts
from the store recently, and
it is believed that the detec-
tion of these boys may act
as a check to others who are
believed to be involved.
1935 — 80 years ago
With chill gone from the
air during the daytime, it is
conceded that the long-de-
layed spring has arrived in
Hood River Valley and pre-
sent indications are that
pears and cherry trees in
the lower valley will be in
bloom well before the end of

APRIL 9, 2005: Hood River County Library staff honored Elena Smith
last Tuesday upon her 20th year of employment with the library. That
day, Ken Coxen of Mt. Hood was among the library patrons Smith
helped. The event featured a large cake and a photo of Elena with
books by an author who inspires her in her work: Dr. Seuss.
VERBATIM
Proposed ‘Union
High’ Is Defeated
While the projected for-
mation of a union high
school district, embody-
ing seven districts of the
lower valley, lost by the
narrow margin of four
districts to three, the ac-
tual standing of the indi-
vidual votes gave the pro-
ject a majority of 16 in
favor. Until late on Friday
night, the verdict was in
the balance, until it was
definitely ascertained
that the small district of
Viento, which polled but
nine votes, had favored
the negative, with the re-
sult that the proposed
union high school dis-
trict had been definitely
put to sleep for the pre-
sent.
To the man or woman
who did not enter into the
heat of the contest, the
outcome did not occasion
any surprise, for outside
of the small groups com-
prising the “ayes” and
“noes,” there was little
ambition for the project
— or for any project
which necessitates a
bond issue. The fact is
that, until the orchard
business is attended by
less of the downs and
more of the ups than in
recent years, it is not
going to be easy to secure
a workable majority for
any project which neces-
sitates a bond issue, espe-
cially in the rural dis-
tricts.
T he four districts
which returned a nega-
tive verdict were: Pine
Grove 126-66, Frankton,
43-26, Viento 7-2 and Bar-
rett 83-62. For the union
high school district were:
Hood River, 256-176, Oak
Grove 61-12, Wyeth 13-3.
It is conceded that the
problem now rever ts
back to the board of di-
rectors of School District
No. 3, which will still
have to contend with an
ever-increasing number
of students to the city
high school and lack of
accommodation. While
there is some talk of ex-
cluding the students from
certain districts, it is be-
lieved that some other
means of meeting the sit-
uation will be evolved
during the time that must
elapse before the union
high school project is
again presented to the
voters.

APRIL 10, 1975: Looking over plans for a new Hood River Valley Christian Church addition are some
of the men who are key figures in bringing it about. From left are Percy Jensen, building chairman; Lorn
Magnusen, church board chairman; Dave Burkhart, finance chairman; and Pastor Sam Anderson.

som time early in May. Al-
ready growers are applying
the dormant spray to apple
trees in the lower valley. If
blossom prospects mean
anything, there should be
an excellent crop of cher-
ries, pears and apples this
year.
Far from losing interest
in the Townsend plan of
old-age pensions, or feeling
at all discouraged over the
situation in Congress re-
garding this proposed re-
covery measure, citizens of
P a rk d a l e o n M o n d ay
eve n i n g
organized
a
Townsend Club of their
own. Under the leadership
of W.M. Richards, some 65
persons signed the member-
ship roll and it is expected
that within the next two
weeks there will be at least
200 members in the Upper
Valley. The striking feature
of the meeting was that the
great majority of those pre-
s e n t we re c o n s i d e r ably

“President Roosevelt is

came yesterday afternoon
as the News went to press. A
few minutes later came the
report that Franklin Delano
Roosevelt, four times presi-

had died in his sleep at
War m Springs, Georgia,
probably as a result of a
cerebral hemorrhage.

An Editorial — Now that
the school building commit-
tee has virtually completed
its work, it is high time to
look back to see if the rec-
ommendation meets the
promises that preceded the
county consolation. The
recommendation is to put a
plan for developing a four-
year high school at Wy’east
to a vote first, and if that
fails, to call a vote on a new
three-year high school plan.
A case can be well docu-
mented that if the school
board follows this plan, it
would be breaking faith
with the voters. Through all
the pre-consolidation cam-
paign, every indication
promised the county’s goal
was to convert Hood River
and Wy’east to junior high
schools, and to build a new
senior high school.
Highway 35 is serving as
a link between Pine Grove
and Hood River this week
for the first time since De-
cember. Maintenance crews
have patched the Whiskey

where a huge section of
highway slid out in Decem-
ber floods.

Workmen were already
posting corner marks and

William Bright turned the
first shovel of earth to
mark the start of construc-

Bright is president of West-

plant will house a company
that manufactures equip-
ment for the electric utili-
ties industry and is located
on land leased from the Port
of Hood River north of the
city’s new sewage treat-

“April (snow) showers

sert has to be included for
1975 considering upper val-
ley weather, which still in-
cluded snow notations as
April began. Weather obser-
vation showed it snowed
and melted all day Thurs-
day last week in the upper
valley, and while at mea-
surement time there was
only a half-inch accumula-
tion, the total had been
much more.

Stage an Easter egg hunt
and watch the youngsters
dash to the scene with bas-

glaring. That’s what the
Hood River Inn did Sunday
afternoon and the hunt even
attracted the one and only

kids ages 1-11 got in on the
hunt for hundreds of eggs.
One young hunter received
a huge chocolate bunny for
finding the most eggs.

City of Hood River will
move forward to find a new
home for its police depart-
ment while, at the same
time, consider possibly de-
veloping a justice center
with Hood River County.
That recommendation was
given by five city counselors
attending Monday’s work
session. It gives city Budget
Officer Steve Everroad au-
thority to develop costs for
rumination by budget com-
mittee members. The exist-
ing police site is located in
Hood River County’s Court-
house, and a bond measure
would likely be required to
build a justice center.
A 30-unit assisting living
f a c i l i t y i n H o o d R ive r,
awaiting final city approval
in the form of a building
permit, would fill a gap in
local care for senior citi-
zens. The application was
made by Churchill/Ruff De-
velopment, which would do
the construction. Assisted
Living Concepts Inc. would
purchase it from them. The
facility, with an estimated
cost of over $1 million,
would be on the north side
of May Avenue directly
across from 25th and just
east of the old Luhr Jensen
building.
