DAYS GONE BY

From the East Oregonian
June 4, 1915
A Pendleton girl, Miss Helen Johns who is
a student at the University of Oregon, saved
a Eugene residence from burning a few days
ago. Promptness on the part of Miss Johns in

home of C.J. Steele from serious damage at
6:15 Sunday evening. Miss Johns, with her
sister, Mary, and her mother, were passing
the house when through a window they saw

since 1958, judging from the hundreds of
postmarks and inscriptions that decorate its
interior. During its 6 1/2 years, the canvas
sack has traveled many thousands of miles,
all over the United States, and taken at least
one jaunt abroad, to Rome, Italy, on Sept.

Critchlow showed the sack to co-worker Tom
Simonton, who whipped out a pen and drew a
bucking horse as Pendleton’s contribution to
the mailman’s version of a short-snorter bill.

From the East Oregonian
June 4, 1990
When Eva Castellanoz visited the area
recently to search for Mexican arts, she found
a tradition of lace making, an unusual form
that removes threads to create the pattern.
She also met a folk healer, using medicinal
herbs, plants and barks. His patients stood
in line for hours, waiting into the night, to
see him. Castellanoz, a Nyssa resident, is a
