DAYS GONE BY 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian May 17, 1917 Flag poles are to be raised in the immediate future on Court street at every intersection from Main to Vincent. Authority was given last evening by the council after a petition signed by practically every business man on Court street had been presented. Flags will be flown from the top of each pole day and night. Spot lights will be installed in order that the flags may be seen at night. The poles will be place in the center of the intersections and will thus serve as dummy policemen also. The Court street business men will defray expenses and the P.P & L. Co. will furnish the light. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian May 17, 1967 Condition of Joan Burcham, Lexington, remains critical. The Heppner High School student was injured in an auto accident early Saturday in which Michael Downing and Paul Swaggart were killed. She has not regained consciousness and is suffering from a severe concussion, a broken collar bone, broken back and broken pelvis. She was moved from Pioneer Memorial Hospital in Heppner Saturday to Good Samaritan in Portland for specialized treatment. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian May 17, 1992 Young fishermen from the Umatilla Indian Reservation have decided not to catch and haul adult spring chinook salmon to the upper Grande Ronde River today following a direc- tive issued Friday from the tribal government. A contingent of fishermen had planned to catch and transport the fish as a protest to the state’s new hatchery policies and reluctance to put fish back into the habitat where they have been lost. The change in plans also comes on the heels of an announcement Thursday by the Nez Perce tribal executive committee that opened weekend fishing seasons for limited stretches of Oregon’s Lookingglass Creek and Idaho’s Rapid River.

Board of Education of Topeka decision, which held that racially segregated public schools were inherently unequal, and therefore unconstitutional. In 1957, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his first national speech, titled “Give Us the Ballot,” during the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom in Washington, D.C.
