Benson, son of S. Benson, predicts that Hood River will shortly forget all about apples in the face of a bumper tourist crop. “I pre- dict great prosperity for the Hood River Valley and am positive that if you take off your coats and get good highways built, not only up and down the river but in your valley, you will soon be reaping such tourist crops that you will forget about your apples.” 1925 — 90 years ago The American Fruit Growers Inc. were last week awarded the contract to sell the entire crop of the Mosier district. It is report- ed that Mosier expects a normal crop this year. The fruit is sizing rapidly and from all indications, the Mosier crop will be excep- tionally clean and of good quality. Three local men, E.R. Hollbrook, M. Triplett and E.N. Montgomery, have pur- chased the Emry Planing Mill on Fifth Street and will have the mill in operation by Tuesday of next week. The new organization is to be known as Hood River Manufacturing Co. 1935 — 80 years ago Apparently many citizens of Hood River have forgot- ten, or are unaware of the fact, that there is a city or- dinance forbidding the parking of cars closer than two blocks from the scene of a fire. Complaints from the fire department that specta- tors have been hampering their work and disregard- ing the ordinance have prompted this reminder. Serious damage to or- chards adjoining the Co- JULY 15, 1965: He’s just accepted the Hood River school superintendent job, and already Arnold Bow- ers is familiarizing himself with the county’s building plans. Here Bowers, left, goes over a sheaf of school plans with Joe Tobin, elementary supervisor. The new superintendent comes from Benton City, Wash., where he was the top administrator of Kiona-Benton City Schools. In Hood River County he re- places Dr. Milt Baum, who moves to a position with the State Department of Education. cided to issue special per- mits providing a double quota of slaughtering beef to R.E. Samuel, Cecil Hick- ey, Bickford & Sons and M c I s a a c ’s s t o r e, a l l o f whom hold slaughtering permits. It is expected that, as a result, meat will be available, at least during the season when many hun- dreds of outside workers are engaged in cherry pick- ing and apple thinning.

That was the day set for be- ginning harvest at the Mid- Columbia Experiment Sta- tion. From then on, ranch- ers will gradually begin their harvests as the fruit matures. Several Parkdale ranchers will start picking around the end of the month. T wo yo u n g m e n f ro m Portland wandered around Mt. Hood 22 hours, caused the start of a major rescue operation, and then finally walked out to Cloud Cap Inn late Sunday night. Sheriff R.L. Gillmouthe said the rescue machinery started working about 7:30 p.m. when Harold Wells called in. Wells had been watching the two climbers when one slipped a long distance. 1975 — 40 years ago Seth Lambert, D.O.

JULY 17, 1975: Cash for equipment at Hood River Hospital is given to hospital administrator Don Kelter, right, by Nick Bielemeier, rep- resenting the local March of Dimes organization. The check for $1,315 was part of a continuing program of the MOD to help the hospital upgrade its equipment. lumbia River Highway at Mosier is now disclosed and on the south and southwest side of apple trees the fruit will be a total loss. So se- vere was the sunscald of last weekend that fruit is pulpy over more than half its diameter and at this time presents appearance of h av i n g b e e n p a r t i a l l y baked. 1945 — 70 years ago E f fo r t s o f M ayo r Jo e Meyer and Manger R.E. Steele, of the chamber of commerce, to bring relief in the serious meat shortage which has too long pre- vailed in this county were rewarded with some suc- cess when, on Wednesday, it was stated that OPA had de- 1955 — 60 years ago Wy ’ e a s t B o o s t e r C l u b subscribed $100 to the Hood River Memorial Hospital building campaign, reports Steve Eby. This amount was obtained from the sale of tickets to volunteer workers at the hospital campaign to a t t e n d t h e c a r n iv a l a t Wy’east. The booster cub s p o n s o r e d a s h ow a n d amusements for a fund to erect an electric scoreboard for the athletic field at Wy’east. A break in the weather is expected to give valley cher- ry growers an even chance to save part of their crop starting next week. Early Bings have been seriously af fected but packing of An anti-burglary pro- gram launched in coopera- tion with city and county police agencies resulted in a positive first anniversary report to city councilmen from Acting Police Chief Dick Kelly. His report came at a regular council session where members also re- viewed construction in the city, progress on some legal action involving the city, and a review of a fire pre- vention program. Fickle spring and early s u m m e r we a t h e r h ave played a major role in alter- ing predictions on crop yields and quality this year in the Hood River Valley, causing a reassessment of prospects. Estimates in May pegged the Anjou pear crop a large one, but that was be- fore June, when nature t h i n s w i n t e r p e a r s. O n Wednesday, local represen- tatives were heading to a meeting with a new set of figures. In some spots, par- ticularly in cold pockets — Dee, Trout Creek Ridge and near Middle Mountain — the new estimate will be set at half a million boxes lower than the May predic- tion of 2,602,000. 1985 — 30 years ago Next fall, when you see tire man Les Schwab invit- ing you to take part in “one of our biggest sales ever,” that sign in the background will be the one above his Hood River store. It took a solid 12 hours of filming to get the job done. Schwab, by virtue of his many commer- cials over the years, is one of the most readily recog- nized personalities in this state. The came. They sailed. They purchased. That was the finding of an informal (and incomplete) survey of Hood River businesses con- ducted this week by the Hood River News as a fol- low-up to the Pro Am Speed Slalom sailboarding event. The Pro Am brought a num- ber of out-of-town visitors to the area, as anyone seek- ing a parking place on Oak Street during the past week can attest. 1995 — 20 years ago Commuters east of Hood River will need to be alert this Monday — a traffic con- trol change is coming to one of the area’s busiest inter- sections. The point where Highway 35 meets the His- toric Columbia River High- way, or Highway 30, will have a new stop sign for Highway 35’s northbound traffic. It creates a four-way stop intersection. 2005 — 10 years ago The City of Cascade Locks has geared up for future growth by amending its com- munity development code to permit common wall row houses. City Council recent- ly approved construction of zero side yard dwelling units to maximize available land within the limit Urban Growth Boundary. United Way honored one of the youngest volunteers in the community as its 2005 Volunteer of the Year. Emily Bounds, a 2005 gradu- ate of Hood River Valley High School, has been a mentor with the Hood River County Big Brothers/Big Sisters Program for the past 18 months, meeting each week with a fourth grader named Kyle. “It’s a true friendship,” said a sur- prised Bounds after she ac- cepted the honor at United Way’s annual recognition event July 7 at Hospice of the Gorge. — Compiled by Trisha Walker, news staff writer VERBATIM Elks To Get Truck Load Of Real Snow The Elks got a big thrill out of a truckload of real Mount Hood snow which was sent over the high- way on Wednesday evening and was expected to be on hand in time for a real snowball contest yester- day. Following a request from Port- land, the local Chamber of Com- merce, Guides and the Legion sent a three ton truck over the Cooper’s Spur lateral and loaded it with snow. In the evening the truck was on its way to Portland. It will be ac- companied in the parade by Veter- an Guide Wygandt and a number of Hood River Guides in costume, and it is planned to volley snowballs into the big crowds on the street and give them what will be a wel- come “cooler.” One of the features of the big parade will be the ap- pearance of the newly-for med Hood River marching team of Elks, who will be led in the parade by a gigantic stork, a work of art perpe- trated by Geo. W. Thomson. This will signify the extreme youth of the local lodge. — Hood River News, July 17, 1925
