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.

•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.
