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 Jan. 15, 1916 Commemorative of the ¿nal payment on their building, Pendleton Aerie No. 28, Fraternal Order of Eagles, and Pendleton Camp No. 41, Woodmen of the World, last evening held a joint celebration, burning the mortgage which has been recorded against the building since its erection, and holding forth until a late hour with entertainment of various kinds. The celebration started about 8 o’clock, the lodges forming at the Bowman hotel and parading up Main street and Court to their building. In front of the building the marchers halted while J.T. Hinkle of Hermiston, chairman of the evening, touched a match to the mortgage and spoke a few appropriate words as it was being incinerated. The lodge men and their ladies, including 108 from Walla Walla, then gathered in the hall and listened to a very entertaining program. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Jan. 15, 1966 Umatilla County’s newest residential area isn’t close to any city, but it’s mighty handy to the ski slopes. The ¿rst cabin at the Spout Springs residential-recreational area was erected this year on a 20-acre site across Highway 207 from the Spout Springs ski area. The residential-recreational area is being developed by the U.S Forest Service as part of its multiple use program. The Spout Springs development on the Pendleton Ranger District of the Umatilla National Forest is similar to developments in other national forests. This is the largest of its type in the Umatilla forest. There is room for 44 mountain cabins and, according to the Forest Service, public interest in the area is high. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Jan. 15, 1991 A Umatilla County Circuit Court jury on Monday acquitted a former Umapine man charged in November with attempted aggra- vated murder. Robert D. Hoskins, 32, now living in Pendleton, was found not guilty of attempted ¿rst-degree assault and menacing. He was initially charged with attempted aggravated murder and attempted murder, but of¿cials decided not to pursue those charges at trial. Hoskins, who lived in Umapine at the time of his arrest, was charged after an incident last September between Hoskins and Milton-Freewater police of¿cers, according to court documents. THIS DAY IN HISTORY DILBERT THE WIZARD OF ID LUANN ZITS BY SCOTT ADAMS BY BRANT PARKER AND JOHNNY HART BY GREG EVANS BY JERRY SCOTT AND JIM BORGMAN Today is the 15th day of 2016. There are 351 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 15, 1976, Sara Jane Moore was sentenced to life in prison for her attempt on the life of President Gerald R. Ford in San Fran- cisco. (Moore was released on the last day of 2007.) On this date: In 1559, England’s Queen Elizabeth I was crowned in Westminster Abbey. In 1777, the people of New Connecticut declared their independence. (The republic later became the state of Vermont.) In 1862, the U.S. Senate con¿rmed President Abraham Lincoln’s choice of Edwin M. Stanton to be the new Secretary of War, replacing Simon Cameron. In 1865, as the Civil War neared its end, Union forces captured Fort Fisher near Wilmington, North Carolina, depriving the Confederates of their last major seaport. In 1929, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta. In 1943, work was completed on the Pentagon, headquarters of the U.S. Department of War (now Defense).
