DAYS GONE BY 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 29-30, 1918 Did you know that there is a mill down near Hermiston that manufactures molas- ses from sugar corn raised on the project and that it has been in operation this fall? Did you know that the molasses made from sugar corn raised on one acre amounted to 100 gallons and sold for $175? John A. Prior of Umatilla is the molasses king. Last year he told a number of farmers on the project that he would buy a portable molasses mak- ing mill if they would agree to raise a certain acreage of sugar corn. They agreed and he got the mill, which is now in operation. The corn grew well this year and a larger acreage is promised for next year. The molasses is of a splendid quality. A sample is now on dis- play at the office of the Pendleton Abstract Co. under the American National bank. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 29-30, 1968 Cmdr. James W. Cornwell, Pendleton High School graduate and nephew of Mrs. Percy Dickerson of Pendleton, assumed charge of Patrol Squadron 22 at the U.S. Naval Air Facility at Naha, Okinawa, during a change of command ceremony Oct. 19. After graduation from PHS, he enlisted in the Navy in 1945. He returned to civilian life from 1946-50, when he re-enlisted as a naval aviation cadet. As a result of his aerial mapping missions while he was stationed in the Antarctic, Cmdr. Cornwell had a moun- tain named for him. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 29-30, 1993 If his rate of improvement remains con- stant, Tony Hilde’s career as a college foot- ball quarterback is destined to rise mete- orically. That’s the word from Boise State University offensive coordinator Al Borges, who is overseeing Hilde this fall as the fresh- man from Pendleton directs BSU’s quar- terback-friendly offense in the quarter- back-friendly Big Sky Conference. After BSU’s No. 1 and No. 2 quarterbacks were injured in the Broncos’ final pre-confer- ence game, Hilde took center stage in the Oct. 2 conference opener against the Mon- tana Grizzlies in Missoula. Facing an intim- idating Grizzly blitz and a record crowd of 15,696 at Grizzly Stadium, Hilde passed for 388 yards, the third-highest single-game total in BSU history.
