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 Oct. 17-18, 1916 It cost William H. Sayer, a stockman of Pendleton, $1 a head to run cattle on Indian lands. After an indictment was returned against him, and the case was heard in federal court, the decision was arrived at yesterday morning by Judge Wolverton. Mr. Sayer allowed 42 head of cattle to graze on the Umatilla Indian reservation last March without obtaining permission from the Indians. An indictment was returned June 30, 1916, on a charge of trespass. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 17-18, 1966 A mural for the Hermiston Junior High School walls has recently been completed. Beginning with the idea in 1965, the mural was a nine-month project. A former art student, Leila Price, under the guidance of Mrs. June Hansen, began with pencil sketches. From these plans she developed larger color sketches in tempera. Included were such features as PGG, Union Paciic, Junior High School, KOHU, Hat Rock, Good Shepherd Hospital, McNary Dam, the butte and others. Leila then moved to Cove, but before she left she persuaded Sherrie Phoenix, also an art student, to continue her work. Sherrie, a ninth grade student, induced her brother Gary, then in the seventh grade, to assist her in developing the 40-foot mural. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 17-18, 1991 Two ires fanned by winds that peaked at 47 mph kept ireighters from three agen- cies busy Tuesday on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. The wind and dust prompted the temporary closure of two area highways and some short power outages. No injuries or serious damage were reported. Crews and equipment from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Tribes’ volunteer department and the Oregon Department of Forestry responded to both blazes — the irst about 8:15 a.m. and the second at 3 p.m., said Ken Gray, ire chief for the recently organized tribal department.
