Two Groups of Hikers Rescued Near Horsetail Falls
Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office search and rescue teams helped two groups of hikers near Horsetail Falls in the Columbia River Gorge, less than 24 hours apart. Both groups had tried the Rock of Ages trail, which has been unmaintained since the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire. Two teens were reached shortly after 1 a.m. Friday, and two adults were reached around 9 p.m. Friday. The sheriff’s office urged hikers to stay on open, maintained trails. KATU

Federal Election Monitors Coming to Multnomah County
The U.S. Department of Justice will send election monitors from its Civil Rights Division to Multnomah County on Election Day, Nov. 3, while staff process ballots. The department told state officials its monitors only observe and take notes. Multnomah County Elections Director Tim Scott said they must follow the same rules as any member of the public, which bar observers from talking to election workers, photographing sensitive information or handling ballots.
