Jim Martin, Kip Clark and Jim Jenkins prepare to go hunting in 1968. 25 YEARS AGO NOV. 9, 1993 The old artemisia fac- tory on the Umatilla County Fairgrounds, a Hermiston fixture for most of its history, has fallen to the wrecker’s ball. “There’s a lot of rotten in it,” fairgrounds main- tenance man Doug Moyer said of the wood-frame structure. “If she ever caught fire, she’d take out that whole city block.” It was the scene of a small electrical fire during last summer’s fair. The almost 65-year- old building was used as storage for the fair for the last several years. It also housed a small shop. Orig- inally, the building was home to a small factory that made a remedy for round- worm out of artemisia, a family of aromatic herbs that includes sagebrush. • The possibility of a closed Hermiston High School campus became less of a reality Tuesday night after four of seven school board members said they would not recommend the idea based on the results of a feasibility study. The board took no action on the matter, but decided to keep the issue open for discussion at future meet- ings if the public supported a closed campus policy. 50 YEARS AGO NOV. 7, 1968 In a presidential race that will go down in history as the closest popular vote ever, Republican Richard M. Nixon defeated Hubert H. Humphrey with the piv- otal state, Illinois, adding 26 electoral votes to Nix- on’s 261 and boosting his total to 287, giving him 17 more votes than the magic 270 needed to wrap up the election. Had none of the con- tenders reached the 270 electoral mark, then by fed- eral law the election would be thrown into the House of Representatives. The see- saw battle election night saw Nixon and Humphrey slugging it out toe to toe with popular vote percent- HH FILE PHOTO.

For this reason alone, the cause for election of a president by popular vote instead of the electoral col- lege system has perhaps gained strength. Nixon will have with him as number two man in the White House Spiro T. Agnew of Maryland, a lawyer of Greek parents labeled as a dynamic lib- eral in political circles. 75 YEARS AGO NOV. 11, 1943 “No, we have no coal and we don’t know just when we will get any,” was the reply coal buyers received this week from local fuel dealers. The situation is no laughing matter as many residents failed to take heed during the summer months when at lest two carloads of coal were sent down the tracks because no stor- age space was available. The past week saw several nights of quite cold weather and serious thought should be given towards preparing for the months ahead. • The Umatilla Ordi- nance Depot has boosted its payroll deduction for the purchase of War Sav- ings Bonds very materially. Several departments saw 100 percent participation so far. Many of the divi- sions are over the 10 per- cent deduction goal and the goal of the Depot is to get everyone participating in the payroll savings at least 10 percent. We are glad to see those who can put most or all of their checks into bonds do so. Those who can and do put their salaries into bonds are to be commended. On the other hand, we remem- bers that our boys at the front have no choice as to whether they will fight; we have the freedom to choose our work, our place of work and what we do with our money. Let us back our boys and put all we can into bonds. 100 YEARS AGO NOV. 9, 1918 There was not much interest shown in the city election on the part of vot- ers Tuesday, the state ticket being the luring object. Thus it was that only 31 votes were cast, but they were sufficient to put back in the mayoralty and alder- manic chairs six mem- bers of the present coun- cil, with B.F. Knapp added as the seventh member. He was elected in place of A.L. Larson, who in turn was elected treasurer to suc- ceed F.A. Phelps. Several ladies were honored with complimentary votes, there being 10 of the 31 scattered around thusly. • How many of the read- ers of this paper have a brother, a son or a rela- tive in the army? Nearly all the readers have. Do you want to see him choke to death or burn his lungs out as a result of a Ger- man gas attack? No, not if in your power to prevent. All right then, it is within your power to prevent, says M.C. Shrock, county agri- cultural agent. The American army gas mask is the most effec- tive mask made. No deaths have resulted when masks were properly applied. It is the shortage of material with which to make these gas masks that prompts this appeal to you. Charcoal made from coconut shells was for- merly used as an absorbent for the poisonous element. But the gas defense divi- sion have used up all of the available supply of coconut shells. They must resort to other hard nut shells. Peach pits, prune pits and walnuts seem unim- portant things to us at home, but to the boys in the trenches and to the war department they are vital. Gather all you can and bring or send them to the Red Cross headquarters.
