DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 22, 1917 That there may be plotting afoot against the wheat fields in the Inland empire after the grain becomes ripe and burnable is indicated by various reports in circulation, some of them known to be founded on facts. One report is that I.W.W. members have planned depredations to show their opposition to the war and to this end have desired to have an I.W.W. on each big farm. Whether the story is true or not, it is causing many farmers to look closely into the personnel of their crews. The report is credited to a secret service man and actions by I.W.W. sympathizers at different points have served to rather arouse suspicions. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 22, 1967 An effort to raise $4,000 for a preliminary survey on a proposed Umatilla River park through Pendleton won approval of the city council Tuesday. Art Evans, chairman of the city’s beautification committee, got the coun- cil’s permission to solicit funds from service clubs and other groups. The money will pay for a preliminary survey and for preparation of a request for federal funds that could amount to 90 per cent of the total park cost if it is designated a pilot project. The proposed park would include about 50 acres of land along the river from the Riverside Bridge on the east to Highway 395 on the west. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian June 22, 1992 Sunday’s annual Big River Band Festival once again marked the triumphant return of its most famous native son — with his native sound. “We’re really proud of this guy,” gushes lifelong Arlington resident Walt Hulden, 76. “He did a lot for us.” Native Arlingtonians have come to expect the flamboyantly clad — and always exuberant — trumpet wielding Doc Severinsen. He has arrived nearly every summer for the past 11 festivals to pay homage and play music, in his old hometown. “It’s chance to come back and visit with old friends,” Severinsen says as he sits in his air-conditioned hotel room across the street from the festival.
