She has expressed some DAYS GONE BY GARFIELD BLONDIE BY JIM DAVIS BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Jan. 9, 1919 Bootleggerdom was hard hit yesterday by the decision of the Supreme Court to the effect the purchaser of liquor sold in viola- tion of the law is not in the same class with the man who sells the stuff. The decision means that detectives may be used; it also means that whenever any purchaser can be induced to testify against the seller he can do so without danger of penalty to himself. Sheriff Taylor expressed the view today that the decision will aid in the enforcement of the law. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Jan. 9, 1969 The Pendleton City Council Tuesday uncorked a traffic bottleneck on NW 10th between Carden and Despain by ruling to allow parking only on the west side of the street. In wintry weather when streets are slippery, vehicles have trouble negotiating the hilly block. Removing parked cars from the uphill lane is expected to improve traf- fic flow. The council action followed recom- mendations of the Traffic Safety Commis- sion. All residents of the block were notified of the proposed change and no one objected to it. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Jan. 9, 1994 Beginning next month shipments of highly radioactive cesium will pass through Umatilla County roughly once a month for two years en route from Colorado to Han- ford. The isotope capsules, which were used to sterilize medical equipment, will be returned to Hanford, where they were made. Each truck shipment will contain up to 16 capsules in a 15-ton shipping cask designed to withstand an accident. All told, about 300 capsules will be relocated to Hanford. Between 1989 and 1991, about 440 of the capsules were returned to Hanford without incident.
