DAYS GONE BY 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 18, 1917 The audience at the O.A.C.-Idaho football game Saturday will see the college contest from the grandstand. There will be too many people present to permit of turning the crowd loose along the sidelines such as is done at high school games, and all people except substitutes and officials will be kept off the south sidelines in order not to obstruct the view from the grandstand. The playing field will be placed as near the grandstand as possible for the benefit of the spectators. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 18, 1967 Col. Charles Wellington Furlong (U.S.A. Ret.), F.R.G.S., author of “Let ’er Buck,” and grand marshal of the Westward Ho! parade in 1966, died recently in Hanover, N.H., two months short of his 94th birthday.

His humorous books about the outdoors include “Real Ponies Don’t Go Oink” and “The Good Samaritan Strikes Again.” Ralph and Pat met in June 1991 during the writer’s last stop at Armchair Books in Pendleton. Pat was interested in chukar hunting, and Ralph knew just the property. Bird rights are owned by Dr. Richard Koch, father-in-law to the Lows’ son, Wayne, both of Pilot Rock. THIS DAY IN HISTORY Today is the 291st day of 2017. There are 74 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 18, 1767, the Mason-Dixon line, the boundary between colonial Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware, was set as astron- omers Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon completed their survey. On this date: In 1685, King Louis XIV signed the Edict of Fontaine- bleau, revoking the Edict of Nantes that had established legal toleration of France’s Protestant population, the Huguenots. In 1867, the United States took formal possession of Alaska from Russia. The cornerstone was laid for Baltimore City Hall. In 1892, the first long-dis- tance telephone line between New York and Chicago was officially opened (it could only handle one call at a time). In 1922, the British Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (later the British Broadcasting Corp.) was founded. In 1931, inventor Thomas Alva Edison died in West Orange, New Jersey, at age 84. In 1954, Texas Instru- ments unveiled the Regency TR-1, the first commercially produced transistor radio. In 1967, the first issue of Rolling Stone magazine (which carried a cover date of Nov. 9) was published. In 1969, the federal government banned artificial sweeteners known as cycla- mates because of evidence they caused cancer in labora- tory rats. In 1977, West German commandos stormed a hijacked Lufthansa jetliner on the ground in Mogadishu, Somalia, freeing all 86 hostages and killing three of the four hijackers. In 1982, former first lady Bess Truman died at her home in Independence, Missouri, at age 97. In 1997, a monument honoring American service- women, past and present, was dedicated at Arlington National Cemetery. Today’s Birthdays: Sportscaster Keith Jackson is 89. Actress Dawn Wells is 79.

Cheap prices make for cheap goods; cheap goods make for cheap men; and cheap men make for a cheap country!” — President William McKinley (1843-1901).
