The city had agreed to donate the rail car to the Washington State Railroads Historical Soci- ety. The city received the caboose as a gift from the Union Pacific Railroad in 1987. Society members plan to refurbish the caboose and display it near Colum- bia Center Mall in Rich- land, according to society spokesman Jim Houston. “To our knowledge,” Houston said, “this is the last Spokane International caboose in existence.” Because the car car- ries so much history, it may ride the rails once again as a companion to a steam locomotive the society is attempting to acquire. The society would operate the train as an excursion. The caboose, Houston said, will be moved “as soon as pos- sible,” meaning about four to six weeks, depending on when the society receives proper permits. 50 YEARS AGO SEPTEMBER 12, 1968 Walt Peters, Port of Umatilla manager, spoke to the Hermiston Kiwanis Club Wednesday at their regular noon luncheon at the CRC and stressed sev- eral interesting points regarding port activi- ties. Geographically, says Peters, the port takes in all of Umatilla County with the exception of a small area around Mil- ton-Freewater, and as such is responsible to the entire area within this bound- ary. The port, Peters says, is competing with neigh- boring counties and also counties in Washington for industry development along the Columbia River. It is well known that Wash- ington has some tax advan- tages over Oregon that are encountered when it comes to the actual physical loca- tion of an industry. Con- sequently, it is of primary importance that attention be focused on high-lift irri- gation projects. Along this direction, Peters says the port is working toward the development of a food pro- cessing industrial park on the 800 acres they own, adjacent to McNary Town- site. The land, rail rates and roads are already available for food processors, says Peters, and sewage disposal of tremendous importance in this type of complex is receiving serious consider- ation by the Port. • Umatilla County’s own Marjean Langley made her county and all the people from Oregon proud last Saturday night at Atlantic City, N.J., by placing third in the Miss America pag- eant. Marjean’s ballet per- formance in the talent sec- tion of the contest, as well as her beauty and warm personality carried her into the magic circle of the five finalists. The Milton-Free- water beauty is the second Umatilla County entry to be named Miss Oregon in the past two years. Chris- tine Beach of Pendleton won the title in 1967. •Fairway Collections LLC vs. John L.

Judgments PENDLETON — The following judg- ments have been rendered in Umatilla County courts (interest, court costs and fees not listed): 75 YEARS AGO SEPTEMBER 16, 1943 The residents of this area were given a taste of what the Axis are receiving as a daily fare from our Amer- ican bombers about 9:45 p.m. Monday. The blast of a bomb about 12 miles south- west of Stanfield was heard at the U.O.D. in Hermiston and many miles around and rattled windows and shook walls of houses. The tri- als and tribulations of an editor were considerably increased the next morning when reports came in from all sources as to the cause of the tremor. Included among these unfounded rumors were: an earthquake, boiler at the artemisia plant blew up, an igloo at the U.O.D. exploded, a bomb was dropped by mistake near Stanfield, workmen were blasting on road construc- tion, a railroad tanker exploded between here and Stanfield, etc. After weed- ing out all of these, it was found that it was a bomb dropped according to plans about 12 miles southwest of Stanfield where soldiers were on maneuvers. Just more army training for the boys in the service. How- ever, it created quite a bit of excitement here. 100 YEARS AGO SEPT. 14, 1918 Conforming to his annual custom of being host to a dinner party at his farm home several miles east of this city, J.H. Reid, erst- while Hermiston banker, but of late years an energetic and prosperous rancher of the Columbia district, enter- tained even more elabo- rately than of yore at his fine ranch home last Sun- day afternoon. There were eleven guests that partook of the hospital- ity of Mr. Reid, and among them were some of the real old-timers of the project, with a sprinkling of later arrivals. Heading the list was Col. J.F. McNaught, who proved to be at his best that day as a recounter of early-day history, follow- ing whom came J.T. Hin- kle, E.P. Dodd, C.E. Baker, Thomas Campbell, H.T. Fraser, Wm. Warner, J.H. Young, A.L. Larson, F.A. Chezik and M.D. O’Con- nell. When this caravan had arrived at 12:30, Mr. Reid spent an hour with them looking over the ranch, during which time they were shown the interior of his large modern barn, patches of sweet and field corn that are equal of any in the proj- ect, and also an orchard free from weeds, with every tree symmetrically shaped. The chickens and the horses and cattle denoted the fruits of being well cared for, and a large haystack showed the result of the alfalfa harvest up to date.
