Violent thunderstorm rocks lower valley in 1935
1915 — 100 years ago
It has come to our atten-
tion that there are still peo-
ple in Hood River who do
not know that we have a
free public playg round.
More than 70 different chil-
dren enjoyed it last week
and we should be glad to see
more. If the little girls will
bring a small doll and some
scraps of goods, they will be
taught
something
of
sewing. We also read to
them when it was too warm
to play and have a new bas-
ket-ball for games. From 2
to 6 every afternoon, except
Sunday, a young lady is in
charge.

Mr. Kadderly, of O.A. C.,
and Mr. Ackerman, official
photographer of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
at Washington, D.C., were
visitors at the Beal Ranch at
Parkdale last Monday, tak-
i n g p i c t u r e s o f yo u n g
Robert Beal and his famous
potato patch. They also took
notes on his potato club
work for the past three
years.
The fire which broke out
last week in the Wind River
country, the smoke from
which has swept over this
section for nearly a week,
has already burned over
3,600 acres of splendid tim-
ber and has converted into a
blackened waste one of the
most beautiful, although
not most accessible, spots
near the Columbia River.

A thunderstorm, violent
in its intensity, brought to a
temporary end on Tuesday
morning the unusual spell
of sizzling heat which had
prevailed in the Mid-Colum-
bia area for nearly two
weeks. Not only was the
lightening display awe-in-
spiring, but the heavy ar-
tillery of the heavens dis-

Just after noon Tuesday,
word reached the fire de-
partment that a grass fire
was sweeping rapidly up
the hillsides between the
railroad track and the Co-
lumbia River Highway east
of town. The fire depart-
ment was quickly on the
scene and, cooperating with
other fire fighters, was able
to contain the blaze to dry
grass and brush and away
from timber.
Local anglers learned last
Sunday that no angling will
be permitted in those forest

anyone but those having

that permits are not being

As you read this, start

Power crews were dig-

They were re placing 18

acres east of Hood River
last weekend. Also continu-
ing was an investigation
into the cause of the fire,
but a human cause was sus-
pected because the point of
origin was traced to a point
near the Old Dalles Road.

Odell firefighters braved
the summer heat on Sunday
afternoon but were unable
to stop an aged storage

Borton. Borton said the un-
occupied shed was between
70-80 years old.

VERBATIM
Movie to be filmed in Hood River, Lost Lake
Despite rumors to the
contrary, Chuck Norris
is not coming to Hood
River.
A movie will be shot
h e r e j u s t t h e s a m e,
though.
That was the world
this week, as key people
from Lot Productions, an
independent movie pro-
duction company, set up
shop in town.
Director Aaron Norris,
who is Chuck Nor ris’
brother, said the film will
be a PG-rated children’s
action adventure motion
picture.
They will shoot the
film at locations in Park-
dale, downtown Hood
River and Lost Lake.
Filming will start in the
middle of August, Norris
said.
Nor ris chose Hood
River for the film’s loca-
tion because the sur-
rounding area was well
suited for every aspect of
the movie.
“We were trying to find
an area that suited the
film. I started in North
Carolina and worked my
way across the country,”
Norris said. “Nothing fit
the bill as good as Hood
River.”
After spending almost
one and a half months in
Hood River, Nor ris is
glad he chose the loca-
tion, he said.
“Except for a few prob-
lems finding lodging for
the cast, everyone has
been very pleasant here,”
he said.
Norris has not signed
contracts with actors for
any of the leading roles
yet. He hopes to have ne-
gotiations finished up by
the end of the week.
“Hopefully, we’ll get
s o m e b i g n a m e s, ” h e
said. “We’re bringing in
some key people from
L.A. and from Portland.”
Norris also said that
he will be hiring as many
local people as he can
and has already found
quite a few people in
Hood River to work on
the film.
The production compa-
ny will be in Hood River
for a total of four months,
which includes the month
and a half Norris has al-
ready spent here.
Norris has filmed
movies all over the Unit-
ed States and the world,
he said.
