After giving the walls of the courthouse a good scrubbing to try and eradicate the foot marks caused by careless court spectators during the trial of Ted Mandronas recently, the county officials have decided to paint the walls up from the floor about three feet with an enamel paint that can be easily washed. Signs will then be placed on the walls notifying the public that a fine of $25 will be assessed against anyone guilty of defacing the walls in such a manner as was found during the trial. — The Dalles Daily Chronicle, March 28, 1924
16 Copies Of The Enterprise When He Got His Mail

Freeway Plan Stirs Rumbles
Chamber of Commerce displeasure with the Second Street overpass rumbled anew Monday night, but a “wait and see” course of action was adopted.
One director called the controversial project “the screwiest interchange I’ve ever seen.” Said another, “It’s all wrong.”
Lack of illumination is the board’s biggest criticism of the interchange and the State Highway Department has no plans to light the area at the present time.
Chamber President RB Leavens and Manager George Bartch inspected the interchange with resident engineer Glenn Starkey recently and reported back with different reactions. Bartch was not satisfied with the area as it now stands. Leavens claimed, “We may be stating our problem ahead of time and it may weaken our arguments. I think we should wait until it’s done, see what we have, and then go after it.”
Directors, hearing work should be completed in July, decided to delay action until then.
If they’re still convinced the interchange is dangerous, they promise renewed action at that time. — March 26, 1964, Hood River News
Rajneeshpuram legality suit refiled here by Frohnmayer
A suit challenging the legality of the city of Rajneeshpuram on the basis of the constitutional separation of church and state is back in the Wasco County Circuit Court.
Oregon’s Attorney General Dave Frohnmayer originally filed the suit here, but disciples of the Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh succeeded in moving the suit to federal court and the attorney general recently failed in an attempt to have the case transfered back to a state court.
Frohnmayer withdrew the suit from federal court on Tuesday, but filed with the local court at around 4:30 Tuesday afternoon. His suit charges the incorporation of the city was unconstitutional. A spokesman in his office, Marla Rae, said the suit was withdrawn from federal court because the federal court system is too lengthy and expensive. — The Dalles Daily Chronicle, March 28, 1984
