White Salmon continues to be plagued, not with one, but seemingly two “peeping Toms,” the latest known case being Saturday night on S.E. Oak Street. At 447 S. E. Oak, at the home of Mrs. Hattie Claterbos, a prowler or “peeper” had overturned a flower pot on the back side of the house next to a bedroom at the home — the peeper had evidently watched Mrs. Claterbos as she was reading in bed. She failed to discover the peeper until the next day when she called police at 1:30 p.m. Police state that they called a Skamania county Deputy who at the time was in Underwood and they dusted the window sill for prints. Police aid the prints were those of a man with large hands.

Maryhill Patrons gathered Sunday just east of the museum near the intersection of SR 14 and SR 197 to witness unveiling of an historical marker of Maryhill’s founder, Samuel Hill. Above, museum board member Muriel Hager addresses participants at the event. She was board president when the idea came up more than a year ago; The Klickitat County Historical Society originated the concept and Maryhill provided funding, with installation by the Department of Transportation. Historical Society member and former Goldendale publisher Pete May wrote the marker’s text. Albert Bator, a Washington artist, carved the wooden medallion of Hill which is placed in the marker. The site overlooks Stonehedge, the World War I memorial Hill constructed.

Of course the northwest premiere of spring each year is staged by old Mother Nature in The Dalles. When she realizes what a hit the show is going to make, she books it for the rest of Oregon ...
