99-year contract signed between County and Forest Service in 1955
1915 — 100 years ago
1935 — 80 years ago
Vern A. Witcomb and Wal-
ter W. Shay have purchased
the Electric Theater from
J.H. Ferguson and took pos-
session this week. The the-
ater will be closed until Fri-
day for extensive repairs and
remodeling which are being
done under the direction of
the new owners. The en-
trance will be altered to pro-
vide for an arch effect and
lobbies. The interior will be
painted and calsomined and
its appearance rendered
more attractive.
Carving small reproduc-
tions from the Bible from
solid stone is one of the
ways in which Robert Rand
employs his spare mo-
ments. He has presented a
number of his friends with
these unique gifts. The little
books are carved from pipe-
stone, for which Mr. Rand
sent to Minnesota, and are
perfect in every detail. Mr.
Rand, however, does not
presume to emulate Moses
and his tablets of stone, as
he permits the recipient to
inscribe in the books what-
ever they may desire.
An eight club Columbia
Inter-Mountain baseball
league was formed here the
latter part of last week by
interested baseball men of
the Mid-Columbia area. The
new circuit, a strictly ama-
teur organization, compris-
es the following teams:
Odell, Mt. Hood, Parkdale,
Bingen, Hood River Town,
Hood River Japanese, Dee
and The Dalles.
Twelve years is not a long
period as time goes, but in
12 years a small tract of
land at the mouth of Eagle
Creek, which a state official
sold to a private individual
for $4,000, has increased in
value to $80,000. The state
highway commission made
this discovery when it en-
deavored to repurchase the
land for Columbia River
Highway improvement near
the dam at Bonneville. Now
it is planning to report to
commendation proceedings
in the hope that it can shave
cost to the taxpayers.

Following a meeting of
representatives of all irri-

county last Saturday, an or-

Court by the Pacific Power

the decisions of the district
court and state supreme
court, which rejected the
power company’s claim to

1955 — 60 years ago
The 99-year contract be-
tween Hood River County
and the Forest Service for
federal management of the
county forest land was
signed last week by Lloyd
Olson, Mount Hood National
forest supervisor, at the cour-
thouse. His signature com-
pleted the contract that will
be effective through the year
2054. Present for the signing
were Mart Perkins, county
road supervisor; Commis-
sioner George Krieg; Judge
John H. Sheldrake; Commis-
sioner Arvo Hukari; and Mil-
ton Andrews, Hood River dis-
trict ranger, Mount Hood Na-
tional Forest, Parkdale.
Polio vaccinations are slat-
ed for 559 first and second
grade students in Hood River
County starting at 8:45 a.m.
Monday, it was announced
today by Miss Emma Hanby,
public health nurse. The
Salk polio vaccine is safe, ef-
fective and potent, it was an-
nounced Tuesday, and for-
mal licensing was made at 4
p.m. on the same day by Sec-
retary of Welfare Hobby.
Polio serum is expected to be
available for inoculation of
persons up to 21 years as
soon as quotas of the polio
foundation are filled.
APRIL 15, 1955: Preparations for the mass inoculation of first and
second grade students in Hood River County are directed by Miss

In its decision, as will be
remembered, the Oregon
Supreme Court decided in
favor of the irrigators, and
through the medium of the
state water board defined
the amount of water which
irrigation and power com-
panies are to use. It was
generally expected the
power company would ac-
cept the decision of the
state Supreme Court, but a
few weeks ago a citation
was served on all irriga-
tionists of this county

A family reunion recent-
ly took place aboard a Coast
Guard-manned LST laying
off Iwo Jima during the in-
vasion, when Coast Guard
Lieut. (j.g.) Arlo Ordway,
and his brother, Malcom E.
Ordway, Yoeman 1-c, USNR,
both of Hood River, chanced
to meet. Malcom was
aboard a Navy attack trans-
port and saw Lieut. Ord-
way’s LST laying of the
beach. He took a small boat
over to the LST and had a

locked up in the Sheriff ’s Of-
fice this week waiting its dis-
posal. There has been an at-
tachment filed on the coins
by the owner of the property
where the coins were found,
and Sheriff R.L. Gilmouthe
is still waiting for a ruling on
the case. The cache was
found when a man who was
in jail told police about a can
full of coins. The sheriff has
learned the coins are not the
bonanza collectors had sus-
pected when the coins were
discovered.
Building permits in Hood
River during March were
just under $300,000, accord-
ing to the city records. It was
one of the biggest construc-
tion months in the city for
years. Permits were filed for
a telephone company addi-
tion, service station, two
apartments and a Juncho
company addition.
1975 — 40 years ago
A cost and study report on
constructing a one-way cou-
plet through Hood River’s
Heights business area drew
city council approval Mon-
day night. A long-discussed
plan includes construction of
13th street between May and
Taylor, an area where there
is no street now, and im-
provements on 13th street
several blocks to Belmont.
The purpose would be to
turn 12th and 13th into a one-
way couplet in an area which
is now clogged with traffic at
busy times.
Arrival of Blossom Day
will see a “spruced up” val-
ley on display, thanks to 260
“litter pickers.” Jerry Week-
ly, 1975 local chairman for
Stop Oregon Litter and Van-
dalism (SOLV), said that was
the number of students and
service club members who
donated their time Saturday
morning to pick up roadside
litter around valley roads.
1985 — 30 years ago
“It may be a Blossom Day
without blossoms — at least
in the lower valley.” That’s
the way Gene Mielke, super-
intendent of the Mid-Co-
lumbia Experiment Station,
summed up the prospects
for blossom photographers
and viewers planning to
visit the Hood River Valley
during the annual Blossom
Festival, April 27-28. “There
may still be some in the
upper valley,” he said, “but
by the end of the week there
won’t be much left near
town.”
Open for business now at
Pacific Avenue and Tucker
Road is the new Heidi’s
AM/PM convenience store
and deli. Heidi’s also oper-
at e s a s i m i l a r s t o re i n
White Salmon. The store
here offers 24-hour service
seven days a week. Pre-
pared food featured in-
cludes chicken, hamburg-
ers, hot dogs, pizza, shakes,
jojos and more. The store is
managed by Kay Sullivan.

Full Sail Brewing Compa-
ny’s new brewery opened
with fanfare, and about 500
guests, Friday with a formal
ceremony. When it reaches
capacity, the former micro-
brewery will produce a quar-
ter-million barrels of ale an-
nually at the expanded facili-
ty, located at the old Diamond
Cannery site. A public open
house will be held from
noon-5 p.m. April 22-23 —
Hood River Valley Blossom
Festival weekend.
A planned 20-minute pre-
sentation on a hotel concept
for the marina area bal-
looned fourfold Thursday
night, but the audience of
about for dozen citizens held
their seats. They wanted to
learn more about the Hood
River Inn’s ideas, and they
wanted to have their say —
pro or con. The Port of Hood
River’s Marina Planning
Committee had adjourned its
meeting prior to the presen-
tation. Committee members
stayed to listen, but did not
comment on the concept.
2005 — 10 years ago
Two Hood River agencies
have agreed to change course
on waterfront planning to
meet the growing need for
property to expand the exist-
ing business base. On Mon-
day, the city council stopped
work on the Columbia River
Mixed Use Zone, an abrupt
end to more than 100 years of
public debate and controver-
sy. The decision to pull Ordi-
nance 1851 followed a request
by the port commission that
the existing light industrial
zoning be retained on water-
front lands. The port now
wants to design a master
plan that uses a parcel-by-
parcel approach for develop-
ment.
It’s hard to tell who has
more fun at a Lion’s Follies
show: The performers or the
audience. At the 29th annual
Mid-Columbia Lions Follies,
“Phantom of the Opry” (A
Grande Ole Show), there is
as much fun being had on
stage as in the seats.

PET OF THE WEEK
VERBATIM
Former Wy’east student
late Cambodian evacuee
Poignant accounts of evacuees from
Cambodia were becoming almost common-
place as the last days of beleaguered
Phnom Penh drew near last week.
Yet one picture and by-lined story drew
special attention here anyway. A lot of
Hood River people recognized the Cambo-
dian whose photo and name appeared with
Associated Press wire story. AP writer
Chhay Born Lay — the author — was a for-
eign exchange student at Wy’east High
school in 1962. The article tells of his last
days in his native Cambodia.
A first-person recounting of last-minute
preparations to leave the city, a futile at-
tempt to board a U.S. helicopter at the
American Embassy and finally a dash to a
chartered airplane at the Phnom Penh air-
port, the story appeared in the Sunday Ore-
gonian. It was datelined Saigon, the city
Lay escaped to with his wife and two young
children.
His story of the escape is written in a
language Lay learned virtually from the be-
ginning after his arrival in this country —
he had only two weeks of English before
coming to the U.S. “He spoke fluent
French,” said Earl Fowler, an assistant
principal at Hood River Valley High who
taught at Wy’east when Lay was there. “But
that didn’t help much when he came to my
U.S. History class.”
Lay lived with the Teunis Wyers family
while attending school at Wy’east. And he
didn’t have trouble with the English lan-
guage for long. “He learned so rapidly,”
Fowler said.
Recalling a discussion with Lay about
communist threats to his country, Fowler
said the Cambodian resident might have
hinted at his future. “He understood that
being in this country could be detrimen-
tal,” said Fowler.
Whether he had foreseen his predica-
ment or not, Lay found himself in trouble
this week. Turned back by Cambodian po-
lice guarding U.S. helicopters at the Ameri-
can Embassy, he returned to the Associated
Press office to stand by for a message about
a chartered flight that he and his family
could take to safety.
After a few moments, he wrote, a phone
call came through from George Esper, AP’s
bureau chief in Saigon. Esper told Lay to
go to the airport and wait for the plane that
was already on its way.
Arriving at the airport, Lay hid his chil-
dren in a sand-bagged bunker near the con-
trol tower while he investigated a plane
standing on the runway. Before long Dick
Blystone, another AP writer, shouted to
him, helped him round up his family and
led the four to the plane.
After regaining his breath in the plane,
Lay took time to look to look out the win-
dow as the plane climbed away from the
airport.
He wrote,” I looked out the window at the
city and thought: ‘Goodbye, Cambodia.’”

Hugs loves cuddles, lap time
This week volunteers at
Adopt A Dog have selected
Hugs as the program’s adopt-
able pet of the week:
Need a hug? ‘Cuz this little
guy is a hugger! Hugs is about
2 years old, 12 pounds, and is a
Chihuahua/Pug. He showed
up a nervous wreck, afraid to
meet new people, but other
dogs helped him see we were
pretty cool to hang with. And
now he just can’t get enough
of cuddles and lap time. And
he really will hug you! He
likes to nuzzle his muzzle in
your neck and wrap his little
paws around and that makes
him feel comfy, cozy!
He’s doing very well in his
foster home, and is quite the
character! He’s playful, and
can be silly and sweet and
he gets all peppy when it’s
playtime and does a little
dance in excitement. Hugs is
sensitive and gets nervous
with too much going on
around him, so he’d prefer a
calm, quiet home with no
small kids. He seems to have
an old shoulder injury that
doesn’t bother him, but he
doesn’t like super long walks,
unless he’s being carried; then
he’s happy and loves getting
fresh air! He’s great off-leash,
and stays with the pack, right
by your side.
If you’d like the perfect hug-
gable lap dog who looks at you
with those big, sweet, loving
eyes, doesn’t need a ton of ex-
Hugs
ercise, and is housetrained,
and you have a calm home,
then look no further! He’s cur-
rent on shots, microchipped
and will be neutered later this
week. The adoption fee is $175.
The fee to adopt is charged to
recoup standard veterinary
expenses. Since many of our
dogs are in foster, please call
ahead to meet Hugs in Odell at
the Hukari Animal Shelter,
3910 Heron Drive, or call for
more information at 541-354-
1083. Adoption hours are
Wednesday, 5-7 p.m. and Satur-
day, 9-11 a.m.

tion online at our website,
