Amos Benson predicts ‘bumper tourist crop’ in 1915
1915 — 100 years ago
In a letter of thanks writ-
ten to the local Commercial
Club this week, Amos S.
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.

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.

A picking start for the
pear crop has been pinned
down to a date, Aug. 16.
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.

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.

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-

its diameter and at this
time presents appearance 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
