First-ever use of airplanes to spray orchards in 1925
1915 — 100 years ago
Fred Burre, a young Ger-
man who has been employed
by T.D. Calkins on the state
road for the past several
months, was arrested Sun-
day by Sheriff Johnson and
charged with lunacy. The
young man made several at-
tempts to kill himself. It has
said that his mind had be-
come unbalanced as a result
of an infatuation for a young
woman.
1925 — 90 years ago
The Punch Bowl Service
Station and Confectionery is
now open in anticipation of
a busy season on the Lost
Lake Road. This station last
season secured a fair share
of business and proved to fill
a public need.
One of the most important
experiments ever attempted
came to a successful conclu-
sion on Friday of last week,
when 60 acres of the well-
known Oregon Apple Com-
pany orchard near Monroe,
Ore., were sprayed with dust
of arsenate of lead and sul-
phur by two airplanes pilot-
ed by Lieutenants Oakley
Kelly and Miller; the exact
time to perfectly cover all
trees in the 60 acre tract
being 34 seconds. This was
the first attempt ever made
to dust spray an apple or-
chard by airplane, but all of
the experts present declared
that the “coverage” of the
trees was perfect.
1935 — 80 years ago
Two Hood River Ar my
fliers, Lieuts. Leonard Thom-
sen and Arlen McCarty, this
week expressed the opinion
that one of the most urgent
local needs is a better land-
ing field for air planes.
“Somebody is going to get
killed when trying to land at
the field on the Heights,”
said McCarty, and this view
was maintained by Thom-
sen. Many efforts have been
made to secure a safe landing
field for Hood River, but all
have failed. Someday, it is
hoped, ways and means for
building a real landing field
on the river will be devised.

Oregon Lumber Company
paid the highest price in the
history of Hood River Coun-
ty for 7 million, 300 thousand
board feet of Douglas fir
stumpage during a sale of
federal timber at Parkdale on
Tuesday, the Forest Service
reports. The company paid
$51.50 per thousand board
feet for the fir, located in the
Lake branch drainage Sun-
shine rock area.
Three hundred pounds of
potatoes were taken from
Don’s Market in Parkdale
sometime Tuesday night and
then used to break out win-
dows in the Mount Hood
Cash store, the sheriff ’s of-
fice reports. “Parents who
may find spuds in their cars
should report it to the sher-
iff ’s office,” Sheriff Rupert
Gillmouthe said Wednesday.
Additional qualifiers for
Junior Olympics state com-
petition were announced
Wednesday morning by Jim
Mallon, director of the Mid-
Columbia district Junior
Olympics meet. Earlier, state
officials had told Mallon that
second place finishers would
not qualify. However, on
Wednesday, he was told that
second placers who bettered
the state standard set up by
the AAU did qualify for state
competition.
There are 126 names listed

rective the Waterfront Advi-
sory Committee voted Mon-
day night to send to consul-
tants. The vote was 6-2, with
Eric Cederstam and Dave
Burkhard voting against the
motion. Kathleen Nichols
drew applause from an audi-
ence of about 50 and from
committee members with
her objection to seeing
Nichols Boat Works designed
out of the consultants’ long-
term plan. Citing lease re-
newal options until 2056, she
said Nichols Boat Works has
no intention of relocating.

community where young and
old alike feel safe. It can have
a positive environment for
those who live here and
those who visit. That’s the
goal outlined by new Hood

Guenther. It’s something he
hopes to make progress on in
the next year, he told City
Council Monday.

patriotism that was devoid of
“indifference, casualness,
and cynicism” at Monday’s
Memorial Day observance.

Luhr-Jensen and Sons, an-
nounced Friday that his com-
pany will merg e with
Finnish company Ra-
pala/VMC, of Helsinki, a
move he said will enhance

manufacturer’s global distri-
bution abilities. The merger
does not affect Luhr Jensen’s
smoker manufacturing oper-
ation in Oak Grove.

Draw Big Crowds
None of our patriotic
citizens would be justified
in criticizing local inter-
est in Memorial Day, judg-
ing from the big crowd
which attended not only
the parade downtown, but
the ceremonies at the
Cemetery. The parade
was larger than it had
been in previous years,
and the martial music of
the K.P. Band was aug-
mented by the stirring
strains put forth by the
Drum and Bugle Corps.
While the parade was
marching through town,
the Women’s Auxiliary
conducted the Water Ser-
vice on Hood River
bridge, the ceremony end-
ing with the casting of
flowers upon the waters.
Seldom in the past has
there been such a large at-
tendance as at the Ceme-
tery, where the ritualistic
ceremonies were conduct-
ed over the graves of vet-
erans, and many were the
floral tributes deposited
on the graves in memory
of those who have
dropped from the ranks of
those who fought for hteir
country.
Dr. H.D.W. Pineo was
the marshal of the day,
and Traffic Office Morri-
son controlled traffic at
the Cemetery.

PET OF THE WEEK
‘Mr. Adorable’ Pepi looking for home
This week volunteers at
Adopt A Dog have selected
Pepi as the program’s adopt-
able pet of the week:
Just call him “Mr.
Adorable!” Pepi is 8 pounds,
all Pomeranian, and he’s
pure delight!
We were told he’s about 7
years old, but his teeth were
mighty horrid, so we can’t
know for sure. But now that
we’ve had those icky teeth
pulled, and cleaned and
shined, Pepi is a happy,
peppy fella full of curiosity
and joy. He’s a perfect lap
dog, but also a great walking
buddy! He proudly prances
Pepi
along on a leashed walk, and
keeps up just fine — even on
long walks, which is saying
something ‘cuz those little
legs of his are short!
And he loves other dogs
and likes to join in the chase,
even if it means he’s the last
in line! Pepi is plain old
sweet and precious and
would love a home were cud-
dles are plenty! He promises
to make you smile every day!
Pepi is current on shots,
microchipped, neutered and
has a clean, fresh smile!! The
adoption fee for Pepi is $180.
The fee to adopt is charged to
recoup standard veterinary
expenses. Since many of our
dogs are in foster, please call
ahead to meet Pepi in Odell
at the Hukari Animal Shel-
ter, 3910 Heron Drive, or call
for more information at 541-
354-1083. Adoption hours are
Wednesday, 5-7 p.m. and Sat-
urday, 9-11 a.m.

tion online at our website,
