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 May 22-23, 1917 As a monument to the memory of Chief Winam-snoot (Wenap-snoot) of the Umatillas, who was one of the first Indians of note to recognize and encourage the Presbyterian mission at Tutuilla, the congregation of the Tutuilla church is raising a fund to purchase a bronze tablet to mark his grave at the church cemetery. A committee, consisting of Amos Pond, Allen Patawa, Billy McKay and Rev. J.M. Cornelison, has been appointed and already has subscriptions amounting to $75. The cost of the proposed tablet will be $150 or $200. Chief Winam-snoot was one of the best known of the old chiefs of this section. He was the father of the late Chief Peo and was head of the Umatillas for a good many years. At his death more than a quarter of a century ago, he was succeeded by his son. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian May 22-23, 1967 One of Umatilla County’s most remote cemeteries, the old German graveyard at Myrick Station, received a face lifting recently. Located in the middle of rolling wheat country, about 10 miles northeast of Pendleton, the cemetery has become run down and practically forgotten the past few years. It was founded by Peace Lutheran Church in the late 1800s. The church decided to spruce up the cemetery in anticipation of its 75th anniversary this year. A delegation from the church, composed mostly of the teen-age members, held a clean-up day at the cemetery. Weeds were pulled, lilac bushes were trimmed and the entire grounds made to look neat as a pain. The church will mark its anniversary sometime this fall. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian May 22-23, 1992 The residents of Weston had an unex- pected visit from a black bear Thursday afternoon, which disrupted life in the small community and drew a crowd of curious onlookers. Suzi Reeve of Weston called 911 at 1:30 p.m. Thursday to report that a black bear had been treed at a neighbor’s house. That sparked a response from a flock of public safety agencies. There was some discussion of tranquilizing the bear, but that was ruled out fearing the bear would fall from its lofty perch. “It didn’t seem to be any threat to humans,” said Mike Black, a biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. “If an animal can figure a way out — and we give it a chance — that’s best.” And that’s what happened. Sometime between 10:30 and 11 Thursday night, under the cover of darkness, Weston’s visitor made its escape.
