The machine is the same as is used by the state and federal inspectors in Portland and will be installed at the local office of the grain agency. The purchase and installation of the equipment will involve a total expense of about $1,000. The securing of the machine was necessary to securing a grain inspector here and the placing of a grain inspector at Pendleton was promised contingent on the equipment being purchased. However, the season is now so late and so much grain has already been moved that an inspector may not be asked for, so it is said. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 5, 1967 There will be a mighty sigh of relief from wives in thousands of Oregon homes this weekend. At last, the deer season will open and husbands made cranky by the week’s delay in the opening of the deer season will be out of the house and in the woods. When Oregon’s 300,000 deer hunters take to the wide open spaces at 6:31 a.m. Saturday, a half-hour before sunrise, they should find ideal hunting conditions. Rain and snow have thoroughly dampened the forests. Hunters will be able to move quietly in the damp woods. Oregon’s deer generally are in excellent condition, following another in the series of mild winters, when food is more plentiful. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 5, 1992 The Umatilla Army Depot stands third on a list of eight chemical weapons incinerators to be built in the United States, with construc- tion planned for January 1994. The complex — now estimated to cost $832 million to build, operate and dismantle — awaits a final endorsement from the Army and permits from the state. The Army’s final “record of decision” on Umatilla’s on-site incineration is expected to be signed and published by November, an Army spokeswoman said. THIS DAY IN HISTORY BLONDIE DILBERT THE WIZARD OF ID LUANN ZITS BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE BY SCOTT ADAMS BY BRANT PARKER AND JOHNNY HART BY GREG EVANS BY JERRY SCOTT AND JIM BORGMAN Today is the 278th day of 2017. There are 87 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 5, 1947, Presi- dent Harry S. Truman deliv- ered the first televised White House address as he spoke on the world food crisis. On this date: In 1829, the 21st president of the United States, Chester Alan Arthur, was born in North Fairfield, Vermont. In 1892, the Dalton Gang, notorious for its train robberies, was practically wiped out while attempting to rob a pair of banks in Coffeyville, Kansas. In 1931, Clyde Pang- born and Hugh Herndon completed the first non-stop flight across the Pacific Ocean, arriving in Wash- ington state some 41 hours after leaving Japan. In 1941, former Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, the first Jewish member of the nation’s highest court, died in Wash- ington at age 84. In 1953, Earl Warren was sworn in as the 14th chief justice of the United States, succeeding Fred M. Vinson. In 1969, the British TV comedy program “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” made its debut on BBC 1. In 1974, the Irish Repub- lican Army bombed two pubs in Guildford, Surrey, England, resulting in five deaths and dozens of inju- ries. (Four men who became known as the Guildford Four were convicted of the bomb- ings, but were ultimately vindicated.) In 1984, the space shuttle Challenger blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center on an 8-day mission; the crew included Kathryn D. Sullivan, who became the first American woman to walk in space, and Marc Garneau, the first Canadian astronaut. In 1988, Democrat Lloyd Bentsen lambasted Repub- lican Dan Quayle during their vice presidential debate, telling Quayle, “Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy.” In 1990, a jury in Cincin- nati acquitted an art gallery and its director of obscenity charges stemming from an exhibit of sexually graphic photographs by the late Robert Mapplethorpe. In 1999, two packed commuter trains collided near London’s Paddington Station, killing 31 people. In 2011, Apple founder Steve Jobs, 56, died in Palo Alto, California. Today’s Birthdays: College Football Hall of Fame coach Barry Switzer is 80. Singer-musician Steve Miller is 74. Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin, D-Md., is 74. Rock singer Brian Johnson (AC/DC) is 70. Rock singer and famine-relief organizer Bob Geldof is 63. Astrophys- icist-author Neil deGrasse Tyson is 59. Hockey Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux is 52. Actor Guy Pearce is 50. Pop-rock singer Colin Meloy (The Decemberists) is 43. Actress Kate Winslet is 42. Rock musician James Valentine (Maroon 5) is 39. Actor Jesse Eisenberg is 34. Thought for Today: “America has believed that in differentiation, not in uniformity, lies the path of progress. It acted on this belief; it has advanced human happiness, and it has prospered.” — Justice Louis D. Brandeis (1856-1941). PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN BY DANA SIMPSON BIG NATE BY LINCOLN PEIRCE
