DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BLONDIE DILBERT THE WIZARD OF ID LUANN ZITS BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Aug. 29-30, 1916 A number of Ukiah young people gave the neighboring town of Albee a little “Round-Up” surprise Sunday. Dressed in cowboy attire, ladies as well as men, and mounted on spirited horses they rode to Albee and paraded through the streets. The Misses Frankie and Ila Sturdivant, Miss Helen De Vaul and Dick De Vaul were the most spectacular, being dressed in chaps and sombreros. They were joined at Albee by Miss Emily Quant who rode “Old Hinderman Brown,” famous horse of these parts. Miss Ila Sturdivant and Miss Quant are both graduates of Pendleton high school. Miss Sturdivant is a native of Ukiah and is now teaching in the Ukiah schools. Miss De Vaul comes from Portland and is teaching in District 79. The men who took part in the parade were Gordon Mettie, Marion Morton and Claire Sturdivant. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Aug. 29-30, 1966 A Greyhound bus carrying 15 passengers was struck head on at 2:30 a.m. Sunday on Highway 11, milepost 4.6.

Rodeo broadcast veteran Butch Thurman of the GMC Truck Pro Rodeo Report will interview contestants in the arena and Schonely will tie the broadcast together with color and updates on standings, Smith said.
