A2 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2017 COMMUNITY THREE MINUTES WITH ... HERMISTON HISTORY CORBIN HANLY Hermiston High School student and Subway employee When and why did you move to Hermiston? I moved here in July of 2017 because of my dad’s job. HH FILE PHOTO. Freezing rain caused this one-vehicle rollover on Interstate 84 near Hermiston in 1992. What is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston? Probably Taste of Thai — I like that place. What do you like to do in your spare time? Play basketball. What surprises you about Hermiston? Probably the biggest surprise has been the weather change. I came from the Portland/Vancouver area. What was the last book you read? “Among the Free” by Margaret Haddix. What app or website do you use most often other than Facebook or Google? Snapchat. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? Ireland, without a doubt, and I will be going there in a few months. What is the funniest thing that’s ever happened to you? There’s a lot I can’t say. But when we were kids, my brother and I made these jumps in our backyard, and my brother fl ipped and rolled down the hill. That was pretty funny. He got back up and wanted to go again. What is one of your goals for the next 12 months? To join the military. What is your proudest accomplishment? Probably the very fi rst time I brought home a report card with a 4.0.

DECEMBER 22, 1917 •During the past 10 days Water Superinten- dent Salser has been kept busy practically night and day pumping water directly into the city mains so as to give Contractor Beisse an opportunity to do some needed work on the city reservoir located on the apex of Hermis- ton butte. With a force of men the work was exe- cuted in the least possible time. The repairs consisted of putting a stop to a leak that had sprung in the bot- tom of the reservoir by the breaking of the concrete fl oor, and in the process of doing this the big tank was given a much needed fl ushing out and cleaning, after which the walls were thoroughly gone over with a thick coat of waterproof paint. •In a communication received by The Hermis- ton Herald, Collector of Internal Revenue Milton A. Miller, announces that a federal income tax col- lector will be sent into this county on Jan. 3 and will be here until Jan. 30. He will have his offi ce in the courthouse at the county seat and will be there every day ready and willing to help persons subject to the income tax make out their returns without any cost to them for his services. Returns of income for the year 1917 must be made on forms provided for the pur- pose before March 1, 1918. Because a good many peo- ple don’t understand the law and won’t know how to make out their returns, the government is send- ing in this expert to do it for them. But the duty is on the taxpayer to make him- self known to the govern- ment. If he doesn’t make a return as required before March 1, he may have to pay a penalty ranging from $20 to $1,000 or go to jail. So if you don’t want to take chances on going to jail, you better call on the income tax man. Whether you see the income tax man or not, you must make a return if subject to tax.
