HERMISTON HISTORY
25 YEARS AGO
AUTUMN
WILEY
Barista, Obies Express Coffee Shop
When and why did you move to Hermiston?
I was born and raised here.
What is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston?
Kobe Hibachi Sushi
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I like to go boating when the weather’s nice, camp-
ing, working out and hanging out with friends.
What surprises you about Hermiston?
How fast we’re growing, and the traffic.
What was the last book you read?
I read 1984 for school, and the last book I liked was
Hopeless, a novel.
What app or website do you use most often
other than Facebook or Google?
Snapchat
If you could travel anywhere, where would you
go?
Everywhere! All over the world. But mainly the
Bahamas, or a tropical area.
What’s the funniest thing that ever happened
to you?
My dad’s a plumber, and on the back of his truck it
says (something humorous that’s not appropriate for
printing in a family newspaper). People always post
about it.
What is one of your goals for the next 12
months?
College and moving out on my own.
What is your proudest accomplishment?
Paying my way to Hawaii, and buying my own dog
because she’s an expensive type of dog.

Pygmy Rabbits and
Washington Ground Squir-
rels are the mammals over
which environmental mon-
itors on the Pacific Gas
Transmission
Company
pipeline project keep care-
ful watch. These mammals,
plus several species of
birds and plants, have been
listed with federal and state
governments as threat-
ened or endangered spe-
cies. Because of their “sen-
sitive” status, they require
special care and consider-
ation during cross country
construction.
“Our
schedule
is
designed to have the small-
est impact on species in the
area,” said Gary Larson,
environmental monitor for
the Oregon section of the
pipeline. “If we find one of
these animals, we imple-
ment certain steps during
special times of the year.”
To plan the best con-
struction schedule, PGT
met with Oregon Depart-
ment of Fish and Wildlife
experts to identify time
periods when construction
would not disturb nesting
or rearing times.
Pygmy rabbits mate and
rear young between May
and September, so a 500-
foot construction-free zone
is required around those
burrows during the sum-
mer and fall months.
Hop-scotching around
these sensitive time peri-
ods has required PGT set
up a strict time sched-
ule to work with species
windows.
75 YEARS AGO
MARCH 25, 1943
N.J. Vanskike of the
“Vigorbilt” Hatchery has
something new this week
in the way of Food for Vic-
tory — namely a chick
with four legs. It is the first
time in 23 years of busi-
ness that Mr. Vanskike has
experienced this type of
freak birth. The question
confronting Mr. Vanskike
is whether to specialize
in this type of bird which
would come in handy
where members of a large
family all clamor for the
chicken leg or to stick to
the normal brand.
On April 1 and thereaf-
ter anyone who slaughters
livestock of any kind for
sale must have a permit in
order to do the slaughter-
ing. These permits are now
being issued by the County
War Board. In Hermiston
they are handled through
the assistant county agent’s
office.
After April 1 all dressed
MARCH 21, 1968
Hermiston’s West Park
Elementary School stu-
dents are in the process
of being presented with a
course in art appreciation
without classroom study.
The students are receiv-
ing the opportunity as a
result of a recent gift to
the school by its PTA. The
gift is 100 prints of famous
paintings in the National-
Gallery of Art in Washing-
ton, D.C.
Matthew Doherty, prin-
cipal of the school, stated
upon receipt of the prints
from PTA President John
Smallmon, that they will
be displayed throughout
the school. He explained
that this will enable
the students to be sur-
rounded by paint-
ings of famous artists.
As a result, Doherty
believes the students in
noticing the prints will
become
acquainted
enough with them to
acquire an appreciation
of the work.
Despite
periods
of heavy rainfall in
recent weeks, the gen-
eral forecast for Uma-
tilla County this spring
and summer calls for
severe drought condi-
tions. The U.S.D.A.
Soil
Conservation
Service issued this
report, saying that
farmers, ranchers and
other water users in
the county can expect
sufficient water sup-
plies only where stored
water is available and
adequate.

the county will expe-

Chief of Police C.C.
Salser returned Sunday
morning from Willamina,
this state, whither he went
a few days before to look
over a ranch located near
that city in the Willamette
valley that he was nego-
tiating with the owner to
buy. On his arrival home
he announced that he had
purchased the place, con-
sisting of 55 acres well
improved, and that there-
fore he would leave Herm-
iston with his family for the
new home the first of next
month to engage in active
farming. Mr. Salser is an
old resident of this proj-
ect, having lived here 11
years, during four of which
he was in the employ of the
Newport Construction Co.
and the balance with the
city as chief of police and
water superintendent. He
says he would like to live
here 11 or more years, and
nothing would suit him and
his wife better than to do
so, but on account of bad
attacks of hay fever every
summer he finds it impera-
tive to make this change of
climate.

Any farm slaughterer who
delivers meat directly to
an individual or house-

to be consumed may com-
ply with this requirement
by attaching to such meat
a tag bearing his permit
