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 Sept. 12-13, 1916 Stanield had a disastrous ire early this morning. It destroyed the building in which was located the creamery, cheese factory, ice plant and ice cream factory. The origin of the ire is unknown. It was discovered about 2 this morning and was then burning so iercely that it was impossible to save any of the building. The building was owned by E.W. McComas and W.J. Clarke of Pendleton and their loss is covered by insurance. The machinery was owned and operated by A. Sahli and he, too, carried insurance. The combined factories, located near the depot, was one of Stanield’s chief industries. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Sept. 12-13, 1966 The Wheeler County Fair and Rodeo ended with the third and inal running of the Interna- tional Porcupine Race. The race, which almost didn’t come off at all, because of a lack of porcupines, was inally held after a desperate plea was made over the loud speaker asking if anyone in the audience had any porkys they would make available to the mayors attending. State Treasurer Bob Straub was the only contestant who had come prepared with a porcupine. Mayors in the race were Jack Steiwer, Fossil; Bruce Mercer, Condon, and Les Grant, Arlington, who was represented by Don Barnes of Arlington. It was a foregone conclusion that Steiwer’s entry would win as he had already won the two previous races held in Fossil and Condon. One could tell that Steiwer, a leading Wheeler County Republican, was eager to have his entry win over the Democratic candidate’s. But Steiwer’s entry found a hole in the grandstand and made a quick exit from the race track. Arlington’s entry was the winner with Straub’s entry running a close second. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Sept. 12-13, 1991 Pendleton-born Elaine Miles is pleased with her television role, Marilyn on the CBS television series “Northern Exposure.” Her part will be expanded this season, which will open on Sept. 23. “She’s doing, like, sentences now instead of two or three words,” Miles said, with a wide, characteristic smile. Marilyn is a Native Alaskan who serves as the doctor’s assistant on the show. She represents Miles’ irst acting experience. But the actress has appeared in Pendleton’s annual Happy Canyon Pageant since she was carried on in a cradle board. Miles, who is Cayuse and Nez Perce, is registered with Umatilla Indian Reservation tribes. Her family moved from Pendleton when she was 2 ½. 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 257th day of 2016. There are 109 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 13, 1971, a four-day inmates’ rebellion at the Attica Correctional Facility in western New York ended as police and guards stormed the prison; the ordeal and inal assault claimed the lives of 32 inmates and 11 hostages. On this date: In 1515, during the Italian Wars, the two-day Battle of Marignano began as forces led by Francis I of France clashed with troops from the Old Swiss Confederacy. (The French succeeded in forcing the Swiss to abandon nearby Milan.) In 1788, the Congress of the Confederation authorized the irst national election, and declared New York City the temporary national capital. In 1814, during the War of 1812, British naval forces began bombarding Fort McHenry in Baltimore but were driven back by American defenders in a battle that lasted until the following morning. In 1911, the song “Oh, You Beautiful Doll,” a romantic rag by Nat D. Ayer and Seymour Brown, was irst published by Jerome H. Remick & Co. In 1923, Miguel Primo de Rivera, the captain general of Catalonia, seized power in Spain. In 1948, Republican Margaret Chase Smith of Maine was elected to the U.S. Senate; she became the irst woman to serve in both houses of Congress.

Thought for Today: “Injustice, poverty, slavery, ignorance — these may be cured by reform or revolution. But men do not live only by ighting evils. They live by positive goals, individual and collective, a vast variety of them, seldom predictable, at times incompatible.” — Isaiah Berlin, Russian-born British philosopher (1909-1997).
