25 YEARS AGO
SEPTEMBER 14, 1993
The old caboose resid-
ing in the park near City
Hall has reached the end of
the line and will soon have
a new home north of the
Columbia River. 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.

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.
