1915 — 100 years ago
A procession of Hood
River autoists who returned
from a celebration at The
Dalles Wednesday were
stalled on Mosier Hill when
one of the leading cars failed
to feed its gasoline properly
and went “dead” on the
steepest portion of the as-
cent. A.S. Keir came to the
assistance of the car and
towed it to the top of the hill.
A score or more of machines
were held up for an hour.
1925 — 90 years ago
At a dinner and special
m e e t i n g o f S t . M a rk ’s
Church, held in the new
parish house on Monday
evening, great enthusiasm
was shown over the plans
for building a new church.
Bishop Remington, of the
district of Eastern Oregon,
was present, and endorsed
the plans. It is expected the
new church, which will ad-
join the parish house on the
Eugene St. side and will
conform with the attractive
style of the parish house,
will be finished early in the
coming fall.
By the time the Vinegar
Plant was blazing from end
to end, the fire brigade was
concentrating every effort
in trying to save the big
warehouse of Kelly Bros.
R.W. and Fielding Kelly
were early on the scene and
realized that nothing but a
miracle could save their
building. As the fire crept
west through the vinegar
plant buildings, the firemen
made a big effort to check
the advance of the flames,
but the old wooden build-
ings and the inflammable
materials made their task
too great.

As briefly reported in last
week’s News, one of Floyd
Wrights fishing crews, on
T hursday of last week,
caught a huge sturgeon
which took the combined ef-
forts of four husky men to
haul into a boat. The stur-
geon was more than 11 feet
in length and tipped the
scales at 400 pounds. At pre-
sent fish prices, this catch
was a distinct addition to
the excellent early catches
of salmon.
ties. The great majority of
the many entries, some of
them from servicemen over-
seas, had already expired
weeks or even months be-
fore the war ended, but
there were about 20 others,
who set their dates for a
later period in 1945.
With the object of carry-
ing to News’ readers the
message that every effort is
being made to fill the Sev-
enth War Loan quota within
the next few days, a large
percenta g e of available
space has been allotted to
this most urgent objective
this week. Working as the

paper restrictions, many of
the news’ items, including
considerable country corre-
spondence, had to be held
over until the next issue.
Readers will, we are sure,
realize the situation, which
is unavoidable.

New classrooms are also
lighted with one wall of

MAY 13, 1965: They’ll provide decibels in Friday’s concert — Boys
with a lot of brass will be performing together soon as the valley
prepares for its second grade school band festival Friday, May 14,
at 8 p.m. It will be in the high school gymnasium. Tuning up here
for Friday’s music event are Cecil Hutchinson on the bass horn,
Gene Jones, left, and Steve Loper on the trumpets. Bands from Mid
Valley, Parkdale and May Street schools, directed by Walt Buehning
and LeRoy Mauroni, will perform part of the program as a mass
band, and each will have its now part in the evening. The program
will be at the Wy’east gym, and proceeds from ticket sales will go
for summer music scholarships.

that they wish to continue

the Oregon Lumber Compa-

mill as usual and are filling
orders placed before the
Northwest Mill Strike was
declared. Special guards
have been placed around the
plant to meet any emer-
gency and the mill will, if
workers are willing to per-
mit it, continue to operate
without shutting down.

As a result of guessing
that the war in Europe
would end just 25 hours and

and completion target date
is August, according to E.
Riddell Lage, corporation
president. The new addition
will double the plant’s cold
storage, he said. When the
first storage unit was con-
structed in 1960, Lage said
the new addition was antici-
pated. “But we didn’t antici-
pate it quite this quickly,”
he said.
Pumps started pushing

District ditches Wednesday

MAY 11, 2005: Pet week visitors — Veterinarian Mike Foss shows
Little Feet Preschool students baby pigs during Friday’s National Pet
Week open house at Foss’ Alpine Veterinary Hospital on Frankton
Road. Foss and his staff hosted more than 200 preschoolers and
kindergarteners during the day, letting them see and touch the
dogs, goats, horses and pigs. “A lot of kids never see a pig, even
though we live in an agricultural county. This just exposes them to
it,” said Foss, who enjoyed the day full of youthful visitors. “I still
haven’t lost my enthusiasm for a baby horse. It’s still a thrill,” said
Foss, in practice for 21 years including 17 years in Hood River.
ar rangements are being

The county started work-
ing toward a balance budget
last week, but it was appar-
ent that it will take a liberal
injection of federal revenue
sharing funds to get the job
done. Most of the $138,000 in

year, was Bob Thoman of
Parkdale. The youngest was
Lee Lage, 5, whose sister
Heidi was the youngest on
the list last year.

Portage Days court mem-
bers, selected last week at a
benefit fashion show at the
Charburger banquet room,
are Angela Groves, Tara
Tiller, Mar jorie Stubbs,
Melissa Stubbs and Brandi
Walker. One of the five will
be selected as queen during
Portage Days, the annual
observance held in Cascade
Locks. Representatives of
the Bank of Oregon did the
judging; the announcement
was made Tuesday evening
last week.
It was a “once-in-a-life-
time” chance, and Parkdale
students didn’t miss the op-
portunity to toss a pie at
their principal, Doug
Mahurin. It was done and
accepted with good humor,
based on a reading chal-
lenged posed by Mahurin to
participants in a reading
program. He promised to
take a whip cream pie in the

1995 — 20 years ago
A five-month controversy
came to an apparent end
Wednesday night when the
Hood River County Plan-
ning Commission denied an
appeal of a billboard ap-
proved in March, despite op-
position from local resi-
dents. The appeal was con-
cerning Meadow Outdoor
Advertising’s land use per-
mit that was approved by
the commission to establish
a 10x32-foot single faced bill-
board in the parking lot of
the Meredith Gorge Motel
on Westcliff Drive.
With the largest carousel
collection in the world,
Hood River’s International
Museum of Carousel Art
wants to make sure it has a

of Duane and Carol Perron,
who amassed the collection,
will address the Monday,
May 15, joint meeting of the
Waterfront Advisory Com-
mittee and Marina Planning
Committee. The proposed
building would be one-story
except for the central por-
tion that would be high
enough to accommodate the

VERBATIM
Issue Viewed At Koberg
A dispute involving a
popular
Columbia
bathing beach was the
subject when three State
Highway division repre-
sentatives were guests at
a Chamber of Commerce
forum last week.
The three reviewed
progress in a contested
case involving several
recreation sites along the
Oregon side of the Co-
lumbia River on the Bon-
neville pool. It includes
Koberg’s Beach, which
annually attracts thou-
sands of bathers and
boaters each year.
The beach about two
miles east of Hood River
will be affected when the
Corps of Engineers
ch a n g e s p o o l l eve l s
under a new Bonneville
dam plan which will turn
it into a peaking facility.
The Corps of Engi-
neers and State of Ore-
gon are in disagreement
over payment to compen-
sate the state for remov-
i n g o r re p l a c i n g t h e
recreation areas.
Representatives of the
state told the local group
that plans to call for de-
veloping Koberg’s beach
to offset effects of the
pending changes. The
dispute also involves
Viento and Mayer State
Parks in the Mid-Colum-
bia.
Plans for Koberg’s
beach call for developing
the area in the present
general location.
They said that the de-
velopment would have to
wait, even if the state and
Corps reached an agree-
ment to mor row. The
money has not been
placed in the current bud-
get, they said, and could-
n’t be used until the next
biennium.
But they offered assur-
ances that were the focal
point of the audience
questions — that the state
does not intend to aban-
don the beach area when
pool levels rise over parts
of the present beach.
