DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Sept. 21, 1916 Lee Caldwell, champion buckaroo of the world and winner of the 1915 Round-Up title, was slightly injured yesterday at Round-Up Park during the tryouts. He was riding a new horse and had inished the ride when the animal bolted through the fence catching Caldwell’s boot and dragging him on the ground for some distance. The Pendleton lad was unconscious for a short time after being kicked in the head. His injuries were not serious and he will be able to compete today. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Sept. 21, 1966 Pendleton television cable viewers can have their cake and eat it too … if they want to pay for it. This was the upshot of the latest proposal by the Pendleton Community Tele- vision Cable Co. to bring Portland television to Pendleton. Currently Pendleton receives four Washington television signals and one from La Grande. Wes Stone, manager of the cable company, said letters have been sent to all television cable customers asking if they would approve a 95 cent a month rate increase so the cable company can install a microwave system and rebuild its line to add ive Portland television stations. Stone said Pendleton would then have a greater variety of television than any place in the country. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Sept. 21, 1991 Veteran hunter Dale Gaylord of Hermiston made good on a once-in-a-lifetime chance last week, killing an “awesome” Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep near Hell’s Canyon high above the Snake River. The big ram’s curl scored just 13 points shy of making the prestigious Boone and Crockett trophy roster. It was the 66th Rocky Mountain Bighorn killed in Oregon since the state established a hunting season 12 years ago.
