Arlington to dedicate city park in
memory of past gov. Earl Snell
By JUSTINE
WEATHERFORD
On Saturday, June 26, the
citizens of Arlington will dedi
cate their city park and its
recently built gazebo to the
memory of the city's most
distinguished son, past Gov
ernor Earl Snell.
Actually all of the east-of-the-Cascades
area should join
in honoring Earl Snell because
this remarkable man was Ore
gon's first native-born gover
nor. He was not the product of
an affluent city family and
was not educated in one of the
larger, western communities
of the state. He was born in
1895 on a homestead farm on
the ridge above Rock Creek
near Olex, which adjoined the
homestead of his grandpar
ents. BT. and Margaret Snell.
The family moved into Arling
ton in 1903 where Earl started
school.
Earl's father, William Snell,
died when he was 16, leaving
his widow Mattie, four daugh
ters and Earl. Earl dropped
out of school to get full-time
work. He became an auto
mechanic, working in several
garages and in time becoming
a partner with David Lemon
in a garage in Arlington.
After volunteering in the
army and serving through
World War I, he returned to
Arlington and married Edith
Welshons. Earl got into gov
ernment first as a city council
member in Arlington ; next he
served in the Oregon House of
Representatives four terms,

Arlington people have long
loved Governor Snell and felt
much pride in his success. In
honoring Earl Snell they are
also honoring a musician.
Earl Snell loved music and
taught himself to play several
instruments. He organized a
town band which played at
civic functions in Gilliam
County and in neighboring
localities. Snell even gave
hours to teaching the kids of
Arlington to play various in
struments, working with them
upstairs in the firehouse which
was next door to the garage
where he worked.

continue to share time with
them whenever he is able.

Deer and elk regulations,
application cards available
License agents throughout
the state have received sup
plies of 1982 regulations for
doer and elk hunting as well as
application cards for control
led and permit entry hunts,
announced the Oregon Depart
ment of Fish and Wildlife.
The application deadline is
July 2 for all controlled and
permit entry hunts. This is two
weeks earlier than it was last
year so hunters should not
delay in picking up regulat

All permits will be issued
through a computer drawing
process this year and there
will be no "first come, first
served" procedure. The July 2
deadline applies for permit
entry hunts such as the Steens
and Trout Creek Mountain
deer seasons and permit entry
bull elk hunts as well as for
controlled deer and elk hunts.
Complete instructions for
application are found in the
regulations and application
cards must be purchased from
the license agents. Regula
tions have been reorganized
into a tabloid newspaper for
mat which should be less
difficult for hunters to read
and understand, the depart

purchased before a hunter can
participate in any hunt which
might be scheduled. The hunt

department added.
