  • Wasco County History!
    29/07/2014 4:47 PM http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~westklic/howcoc7a.htm Search billions of records on Ancestry.com Search POST OFFICES WITHIN THE PRESENT BOUNDARY OF WASCO COUNTY The names and data pertaining to the post offices of Wasco county was supplied by Edwin R. Payne, Salem, Oregon post office clerk, stamp and cover collector who said, "my stamp and cover collecting hobby led to old covers (envelopes) postmarked from post offices in Oregon that no longer exist. In order to know where these places were I started a list of dead post offices. Others gave me help and I made research in old postal guides in various libraries, but such directories gave no dates of establishment or discontinuation of offices. I interested Lewis McArthur in the subject and through him and a close friend in Washington, D.C., we hired girls to copy the Oregon post office ledgers, about 4000 work sheets, in the National Archives! From those sheets I have compiled the Oregon post office list of all offices! They could be obtained in no other way and from no other source. All of this information will be in the third edition of Lewis A. McArthur's OREGON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES which will be off the Binford & Mort press in Portland November 1952. It is a must for history lovers and collectors." From Mr. Payne's list of Oregon post offices we have compiled two lists of Wasco county post offices. The first list are the 55 offices within the present boundary of Wasco county. The distances indicated from The Dalles are by the original roads, not our longer highways.

  • PETREAN NEWS AUTUMN 2006 by Ann Munro, Development Officer
    PETREAN NEWS AUTUMN 2006 By Ann Munro, Development Officer Jason Short Welcome to the second edition of Petrean News. Feedback from the first issue was very positive, and I hope that you find this issue equally enjoyable and stimulating. I’ve incorporated some of your ideas – for which, thank you - into the Newsletter, and have also added a section entitled ‘Your News’, in which College members can share their news and interests with fellow-Petreans. If you have anything to add for future editions, please let me know at [email protected]. Once again it’s been a busy few months, with a particular focus on the Peterhouse Society’s annual Gathering, which you can read more about later in this newsletter. The photographs on this page were taken in high Summer. Above is a view from the William Stone Building, across the Scholars’ Garden and Deer Park to Old Court and beyond: you should just make out the University Library and King’s College Chapel in the distance. The photo below shows Gisborne Court in full summer splendour. The Development Office and Peterhouse Society Office is on the ground floor just to the right of the tree in the centre, staircase ‘L’. Jason Short RECENT EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES May Bumps, 14th – 17th June 2006 This year’s Bumps went very well, with positive results for what are, on the whole, quite inexperienced First Boat crews. The Ladies went up two, their first bumps in the Mays since 2002. The Second Men also went up 2, whilst the Third Men (Gentlemen’s VIII/Beer Boat) remained level, with one bump, but also being bumped.

  • May Week Review 2003
    May Week Review 19 June 2003 Christopher Tidy The region’s best guide to what’s on – see next Thursday’s Cambridge Evening News 19 June 2003 May Week Review A www.varsity.co.uk Mick Heyes Mick May Week 02 Madness and messiness Every year at around this time I find myself asking the same questions: why can’t Tim win Wimbledon, why does alcohol hurt so much and why didn’t I spend more of my time in the UL rather than in a dingy underground club? Another of my annual May Week mindsets is my Finesse Fantasy. Whilst imprisoning myself in the library for six weeks solid, I managed to construct wild illusions of myself floating around Trinity May Ball in the style of a Grecian goddess; making the boys crazy and the girls sick with envy. In reality, as I lurched and stumbled home, like a cow in the latter stages of BSE, wearing my date’s shoes and hitching my dress up above my knees, it occurred to me that I might be slightly delusional. What’s more striking though is how this kind of blind belief and optimism seems to permeate our culture. We live in a world where Darius can win fame and fortune, women aspire to the computer-enhanced images in their magazines and the winner of Big Brother is awarded twenty pages of tabloid coverage along with vast sums of money. It’s hard- ly surprising then that we tend to instil belief in our fantasies, despite our past fail- ures and awareness of our current situations.
