A fragmented 1888 Portland notice references Homer Wt and an Almogton event, with unclear details about location, service, and dates. The readable bits suggest a transportation or schedule item involving Oregon figures and instructions for service delivery.
Local items report a Hereford bull broke loose at the railroad yard and entered a saloon seeking a drink, then was turned away. Other notes mention renovations, a telephone line to pump house, Handel and Haydn society meeting, and updates on local officials, travel, and a barber shop incident.
Pendleton committee outlines a grand Fourth celebration with a ball at Frazer's Opera House, a free platform for dancers in the square, a barbecue, parades featuring Umaida Indians, sack and bicycle races, and a base ball game between Centerville and Pendleton stars. Funds are being raised, with Mose Barah and Louis Kuebler coordinating subscriptions, and details will be published when in bank.
A revised South Court street plan requires building setbacks to align with the court house fence creating an eighty foot front.
