DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Aug. 3, 1916 The petition asking for the calling of an election for the formation of the proposed Umatilla port district was formally with- drawn this afternoon by Judge J.A. Fee, attorney for the petitioners. In taking this action, however, those interested in the project are not abandoning it but will give further consideration to the matter of reaching the Cold Springs area as soon as WKHUHVKDOODSSHDUVXI¿FLHQWVXSSRUWWRJXDU- antee a favorable election. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Aug. 3, 1966 Police today sought the whereabouts of Margaret Dayton, 35, last seen about 2 p.m. Saturday shopping in Lexington. She was driving an aqua blue Rambler Classic, 1965 model. The car is registered to Earl Curtis, an employee at the Harry Proudfoot ranch on Butter Creek, where Miss Dayton had been employed three weeks. Also in the car was Curtis’ Boxer dog, “Moose.” Her clothing, reading and sunglasses and other items were left at the ranch. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Aug. 3, 1991 Just about every boy who has laced up a pair of hightops has dreamed of playing in the NBA. Charlie Sitton is proof that some- times dreams come true. Sitton — two-time All-American at Oregon State and former member of the National Basketball Asso- ciation’s Dallas Mavericks — helped local hoopsters polish their skills on the hardwood this week. For the nearly 100 boys attending the Hermiston Basketball Camp, it was a chance to rub elbows with a professional athlete — although actually rubbing elbows with him would be tough unless you’re also 6-foot-8. Sitton’s cousin Kurt is running the local camp being held at Umatilla.
