T URNING B ACK THE P AGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald September 16, 1969 Omega Mines Ltd. has decided to sell its mining claim in the Bourne area. Tests show that there isn’t enough gold and silver to pay for the costs of mining it. From June 1 to July 21, a resampling program to test the grade of gold and silver of the “Mother Lode” vein in the North Pole area was undertaken. 25 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald September 16, 1994 Baker and Malheur counties will receive $539,733 in Oregon lottery receipts to help pay for 22 tourism, forest products and environmental services products in both counties. Gov. Barbara Roberts announced the award, which is for Round 4 of the state’s Regional Strategies program, in Ontario Thursday. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald September 16, 2009 A lightning fi re that’s been burning for more than two weeks in the Eagle Cap Wilderness continues to grow, but the longer, cooler nights of late summer have slowed its spread. The Big Sheep Ridge fi re has burned about 90 acres in the Eagle Cap, about eight miles southwest of Lostine. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald September 17, 2018 Just as Baker City offi cials had hoped, residents’ demand for water has diminished as one of the hotter summers on record wanes. After 56 straight days on which the city supplied at least 4 million gallons of water, demand dipped to 3.9 million gallons on Aug. 26. That was neither an anomaly nor a coincidence. The high temperature at the Baker City Airport on Aug. 26 was 65 — the coolest day since mid-June. And on Aug. 27, when the high was 67 degrees, water demand dropped even farther, to 3 million gallons. Daily demand stayed below 4 million gallons on 12 of the next 13 days, the only exception being Sept. 6, when the city went through slightly more than 4 million gallons. That was the hottest day of the month, with a high of 94.

Oregon Liquor Control Commission executive director Steve Marks told The Associated Press on Wednesday that his agency does not test marijuana vapes sold in state-licensed stores for additives. No marijuana oil manufacturer licensed by the state has listed vitamin E acetate as an ingredient, which would trigger a safety review, he said. Any company that has added an “un- disclosed agent” to its vape cartridges should tell regulators immediately or face “legal complications and probably additional liabilities,” he said. “My worry is that some of these folks may have gone around and put vitamin E in their products that we are unaware of,” Marks said. “If it’s in our products, it’s out there and we don’t have a clear way to know which ones it may or may not be in.” The Associated Press contributed to this story.
