Looking Back 100 Years, Sycamore, Illinois: Portland, Oregon, Takes Care of Traffic Problems
From the Dec. 9, 2014 Mid Week, DeKalb Co., Illinois.
DECEMBER 9, 1914, 100 Years Ago
** The Kohler Die & Specialty Co. plant will be built in DeKalb.
** 3 inches of snow fell Monday, the first show of the season to remain even after a few hours.
** "In the last nine months there has not been one person injured or killed in an automobile in Portland, Oregon, because, in Portland, the driver of an automobile who exceeds the speed limit is put to worl on the rock pole for from two to 30 days. No fines accepted. If the driver is convicted, he must do hard labor and no exceptions are made."
** Veterinarians and officials slaughtered the herd of 32 cattle and 88 hogs owned by Gus Medine on Friday. The adjoining farm also had been infected with the hoof and mouth disease and quarantined. It is expected that all of the cattle and hogs on that farm will be killed in a few days.
