The discussion of other plans for a railroad or automobile trafic road into this country is said to have stirred the N.P. oficials into considering plans for immediate work. In fact one report has it that the company has men going over a proposed route at the present time but there is no veriication of this report. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 2, 1966 Two men paddling up the Columbia River have “only” 3,800 miles to go to reach their destination. John C. Davidson, 21, Carlyle, Pa., and James E. Curns, 23, Wheeling, W.Va., were above Arlington Wednesday, about 225 miles from their start. They left Astoria two weeks ago. Davidson and Curns estimated their trip — up the Columbia, Snake and Clearwater, down the Missouri and Mississippi and up the Ohio and down the Monongahela rivers — would be 4,000 miles and would take them until Nov. 16. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 2, 1991 The NCAA’s loss is Walla Walla Commu- nity College’s gain. Graduating Hermiston senior Todd Spike wrapped up his high school athletic career with a school-record and personal-best triple jump at the state track championships last week. But it’s basketball where Spike has made his reputation and he graduates with credentials that make him the top area prospect since Pendleton’s Laura Moore. Spike was recruited vigorously by several NAIA schools, but had little more than a couple of nibbles from NCAA Division I schools. Passing up good offers of scholar- ships from several small four-year schools was tough, Spike said. But choosing a two-year junior college leaves his options open.
