Last week’s History Mystery photograph, above, was scanned from a 2 1/4 by 2 1/4-inch negative from the archives of The Dalles Optimist. Information on the envelope reads, “Cherry Processing, June 1965” and, in the corner, “poor crop year.”
It shows men offloading cherries from a truck into a chute, probably at the Oregon Cherry Growers facility downtown The Dalles, judging from similar images taken in other years. However, the facility is not identified.
Oregon Cherry Growers has been producing and marketing “the finest fruit products” since 1932. It remains a cooperative owned by the growers who produce the fruit. Members work with the growers on the varieties of cherries planted and how they are best grown and harvested.

Last week’s History Mystery, above, was published in The Dalles Reminder in 1983. The picture shows “Dalles City Natatorium,” which was replaced by the current swimming pool after a bond was passed in 2013.
The caption reads, “It seems everyone had the same idea Monday afternoon as a long line of anxious swimmers gathered at The Dalles Natatorium for the summer opening of the facility. The pool is a favorite among many to beat the summer heat.”
The photograph was one of a series from opening day by Hood River photographer Greg Paul.
