DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BLONDIE BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian May 6, 1915 It was a great old day for Umatilla! Not in her ZKROHKLVWRU\RIVRPH¿IW\RGG\HDUVDQGPRUH has the seaport town of the county seen such a crowd surging up and down her sandy streets and not since the early days when 3000 people claimed this town as their home has such life and activity been seen. The good people of Umatilla planned to make their day of celebrating the completion of the open river a memorable one and they succeeded so well that they are happy today in spite of their weary bodies. There was a great crowd for the festivities. The crowd was a big one in the morning, grew every hour during the afternoon then reached its maximum when the special train from Pendleton arrived at 7:30 and unloaded more than 200 people. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian May 6, 1965 7KHVSULQJ¶VELJJHVW¿UHLQWKHZHVWHQGRI Umatilla County coincided with the season’s ZRUVWZLQGVQHDU6WDQ¿HOG7XHVGD\DIWHUQRRQ Two large sheds and a smaller building on the Byron Crume farm, on the gravel road on the VRXWKVLGHRIWKHULYHULQ2OG6WDQ¿HOGZHUH destroyed.
