Swather trouble on the Blockhouse Butte Pasture Golf Range this
Halloween. - October 2007
Further investigation revealed cause of farm accident was recent
immigration labor crackdown leaving the farmer with just a skeleton
crew. - October 31, 2007
Blockhouse Butte is the predominant feature from the Pasture
Golf Range. Geologically, it's a classic cinder
cone composed of porous red rock known as scoria. The back side
which we don't see from the range is a red rock mining pit. The
name comes from the old military Blockhouse (no longer existing)
which was located at the town also called Blockhouse near the base
of the Butte. The historic Simcoe Road connected the Military Blockhouse
(not the Butte) with Fort
Simcoe on the north side of the Simcoe Mountains and was important
during the early westward-ho days. The place garners a mention in
an article by Michael McKenzie published in the Fall 2002 issue
of Columbia Magazine about Frederick
Dent's Route from the Dalles to Fort Simcoe. - October 2007

More about Goldendale in the Sentinel.
For a short time, the Sentinel archive was available through World
Vitae Records but then Small Town Papers, Inc. in cahoots with
a new (Sep 08) Google archive product came up with a searchable
(subscription) program called Archive in a Box. So, sorry, folks.
Those beautiful full page scans which you enjoyed perusing for
family names is now...well not freely accessible. Hey, it's the
American way. Why complain?
