CL history — (One of two) “TOWN WILL REBUILD” states a front headline in the Friday, July 6, 1934, “The Dam Chronicle,” serving Cascade Locks, following the burning July 2 of much of the town’s commercial district. At right, a 1939 issue renamed “The Cascade Locks Chronicle” features new transmission lines being built in the Gorge. The newspaper is one of many from the Gorge to be found at online at the University of Oregon online newspaper archive, oregonnews.uoregon.edu.

1923 — 100 years ago

J.H. Fredricy is authority for the statement that nearly every hole in the river above the Forks has its full quota of steelheads, and he calls J.K. Carson to witness his report. Among them must be quite a number with sore mouths because anglers have for weeks been telling of the steelheads they hooked that got away. However, while every angler is at liberty to visit the upper river and gaze on these black backed beauties, it would be well to leave all poles at home until after June 1. A number of wardens are patrolling the river above the Forks and word is out that anybody caught with a fishing pole in that district stands a good chance of being relieved of enough money to buy a full fishing outfit. — Hood River News

Pipeline for The Dalles irrigation project is up in the air at this point, supported by steel structure in crossing Mill Creek on an alignment with Jordan Street. Connecting links will soon be installed at each end. Walkway made of steel grating, together with rails, will be installed on top of the crossing, but regular pedestrian traffic will use the nearby city footbridge.

Verbatim

Two Cub Bears Are Center Of Interest

Youth or old age, it made no difference. The focus point of interest in town last Saturday was the window of the E.A. Franz store in which two cub bears gave one long performance for the benefit of the crowds of children and grownups who came and went and came again to watch the antics of these playful combinations of fat and fur.

The cubs were loaned to the Franz Hardware Co. for one week by the Honeyman Hardware Co. of Portland, and in a big show window, with plenty of excelsior and hay to fall into when they lose their balance on the limbs of the tree which is in the center of their playground, they appear to be sublimely oblivious to the fact that they recently were made orphans by a hunter who shot their mother in the woods near St. Helens and brought the cubs into civilization.

Edgar Franz is foster mother to the cubs and says that each cub eats and drinks three quarts of milks and a loaf and a half of bread three times a day. The cubs are two months old and are husky specimens of young brown bears. After showing in Hood River, they will be turned over to Biologist Finlay, who will take a series of motion pictures of their habits and antics.

Mr. Honeyman has received a large number of offers for the cubs, which will eventually find their way into one or other of the amusement parks of the West. — May 11, 1923, Hood River News

Legion Now Owns Its Hall

County Court To Set Up Memorial Fund

Hood River post of the American Legion now owns Legion Hall and will receive a deed to the property from the county of Hood River, following the deposit of a check for $2500.

In making this announcement, members of the county court also stated that the money turned over by the Legion will form the nucleus of a new Memorial fund, which will be invested in War bonds and held until World War II is ended and Hood River county men now in the armed forces return home, to have their say as to what type of memorial shall be established in this county.

… The building was, originally, the city junior high school, and was sold to the county for the purpose of establishing a war memorial of practical value. Citizens had set up a memorial fund at the end of the first World war, and other funds were appropriated to make up the $2500, which the county paid for the building, which was later delegated to the American Legion and its Axillary for use of their large group of members. On many occasions, other organizations have been granted use of the hall for civic and other purposes. — May 7, 1943, Hood River News

City Washed By Severe Thunder Storm

Brilliant Display Of Lightning Illumines Heavens; No Damage Reported

With the temperature at 90 degrees for two days and held at a minimum of 57 degrees last night, and the atmosphere full of static electricity and other atmospheric conditions unusual, something had to break. It did. It came in the form of what is said by old residents to be one of the hardest electrical storms in this locality for many years.

Accompanied by a swift rain and heavy peals of thunder the storm broke over the vicinity with a vengeance of a pent-up hurricane, just about midnight, lasting from some time after that. Rattling window panes and the pelt of rain on the roof disturbed the sleep of more than a few.

No report of damage as a result of the storm were received this morning. It did break the hot spell, however, and the mercury today at noon was down to 75 degrees, although the afternoon held promise for more rain.

The rain was welcome, adding .04 of an inch of precipitation to the already record total. Reports from localities west of The Dalles indicate that warm weather has been experienced there also in the past few days, although coast cities have not reported temperature within five degrees of that experienced here. — May 9, 1923, The Dalles Daily Chronicle
