DAYS GONE BY BY JIM DAVIS BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Jan. 18, 1917 The annual meeting the members of the Hudson Bay Co-Operative Creamery Company was held in the Grange hall in Umapine Monday afternoon with a large attendance. The meeting was held for the purpose of hearing the secretary’s report of the business of the creamery for the past year and the election of two directors for two years. The annual report shows the creamery to be in a prosperous condition, with considerable increase of business over that of the previous year. There were more than 100,000 pounds of butter fat received during the year from which there was approximately 125,000 pounds of butter manufactured, considerable butter fat was sold and a good sweet cream business was had. Approximately $36,000 was paid to the patrons for their product and a dividend of 8 percent will be paid the members on their stock. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Jan. 18, 1967 Rustlers lugged off half a steer from a Umapine feedlot Tuesday. Dee Wallace of Milton-Freewater told the Umatilla County Sheriff’s office he discovered a 1,000-pound Black Angus steer butchered in the feed lot at 8:30 a.m. The half of the carcass the rustlers left behind was still warm. Deputy Floyd Mendenhall said the animal was killed with one blow from an ax and then chopped in half, with only the hind quarters taken. Wallace had planned to butcher the prime two-year-old next week. Four other steers in the feed lot were classed as “scrub” animals. The rustlers lured the steer within range of an ax blow with feed. The animal was not branded. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Jan. 18, 1992 When Cathy Stolz and Dorothy Beason opened their Chuckwagon Cafe Jan. 2, customers found a different restaurant. Eight windows along the front and side of the cafe were gone, replaced by pieces of plywood. From the outside, the restaurant appeared to be boarded up and abandoned. The plywood was a grim necessity, put there after someone busted out the windows in an act of vandalism the evening before. More recently, Hermiston High School was besieged by vandals who broke 116 windows, a pop machine and other items, causing an estimated $10,000 in damages. Lately, businesses, schools and residential areas in Hermiston have been hit hard by vandalism. Coming so close together, the incidents seem to indicate an unusual problem with vandalism, but statistics indi- cate Hermiston gets only its proportionate share. 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 18th day of 2017.
