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 June 1, 1916 Conirmation of the Indians’ claim to a primary right to a use of water on the Umatilla reservation; an increase of the maximum allowance of water from one-half inch to one inch per acre to the waterusers along the Umatilla river; a revision of the lists and schedules of lands in the west end of the county according to relative dates of priority; and a general agreement with the indings of the state water board. These will be the principal points in the decree of Circuit Judge Phelps in the matter of the adjudication of the water rights of the Umatilla river and its tributaries, as indicated by a memorandum which he iled today. The decree of Judge Phelps is given upon an appeal from the indings of the state water board which took testimony for ive years. It is very probable that an appeal will be taken to the state supreme court from Judge Phelps’ decree and the United States supreme court will doubtless be called upon to make the inal determination of the respective rights of the Indians and the Byers milling interests to the use of water of the river. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 1, 1966 Pendleton played host to the Millions over the Memorial Day weekend. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Million, that is, of Encinitas, Calif., were here to pay their respects to the graves of his parents in Olney Cemetery. It was the irst visit back to Pendleton for Million since 1915. Born here, he left in 1911 to join the Marines. He made the service his career, and was a Marine for 33 years. The visitor’s father was Thomas J. Million, who worked for the ire department and the city water works. “I was born right across the street from the back door of the Woolworth store — on 1st Street,” recalled the retired veteran. “And the day my father was buried, every store in town was closed.” 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 1, 1991 Oficers from the Hermiston Police Department and Morrow County law enforce- ment agencies arrested nearly 20 people on drug charges this week after a two-month undercover investigation. Beginning in the early morning hours Thursday, 11 Hermiston residents were arrested and charged with drug crimes. Morrow County law enforcement ofi- cers began making arrests Tuesday. Bob Terry, narcotics oficer for the Hermiston police, said the suspects were charged after an “undercover operation where they were selling drugs to the police.” Terry said, “We were hooking and booking out of the DARE van” as police oficers used the promotional vehicle to contact suspects prior to the arrests on Thursday in Hermiston. Terry said more arrests may be pending as a result of the undercover opera- tion. Most of this suspects were charged with delivery and possession of cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamines.
