Wallowa County Chieftain
Throw your friend in the slammer?
100 years ago – Oct.
14, 1915
About 35 men are now
employed at the East Oregon
logging camp which is in
charge of Eugene Brown &
Brother, contractors. A consid-
erable town has sprung up, as
several families have moved
to the timber. J. K. Marlin
has established his celebrated
camp boarding house there to
feed the hungry. In addition to
the cutting of timber, a logging
spur of the railroad is under
construction. Five carloads of
steel rails were taken out Mon-
day morning for this line.
Several business buildings
will be erected in Enterprise in
the spring and there is a pros-
pect that some more work will
be started yet this fall. Ross
Falconer has had preliminary
sketches made of his proposed
brick structure for his grain
storage and fuel business, on
the corner of south of Main St.

planning to erect a good brick
building on the ground where
his pool hall now stands. S.
D. Keltner has about made up
his mind that he will erect a
building for his hardware busi-
ness on his corner on Main St.
opposite the Wallowa National
Bank. Fraternal hall, across
the street on another corner, is
of stone, and the Record Chief-
tain building, half a block to
the north, is also to be of that
material.

(Boundary Board) met at the
courthouse in Enterprise to
hear plans for consolidation
measure of county schools.
Two general orders of busi-
ness, progress on reorganiza-
tion and the tabled petition,
were heard by the board before
they reached a decision to
allow the petition presented a
few months ago by the Imnaha
district. The Imnaha petition

hold an election for the pur-
pose of forming an Adminis-
trative District with the Joseph

The Wallowa County Rotary
Club, in partnership with Build-
ing Healthy Families, has both
new and donated coats avail-
able for area children and adults
through the Coats for Kids Pro-
gram.
They are asking local cit-
izens to donate warm coats,
gloves, and hats for distribution
in Wallowa County. They are
looking for warm, clean coats
for kids and adults. Childrens’
coats are especially in need.
Coat drop boxes are locat-
ed at Safeway and the Bank of
Eastern Oregon in Enterprise,
and the Community Bank
branch in Joseph. Wallowa res-
idents are asked to donate coats
directly to the Wallowa Resale
Store on Main Street.
This program typically dis-
tributes two hundred coats each
fall.
The Rotary Club now dis-
tributes new coats through area
schools and Building Healthy
Families. Using input from area
teachers and social workers, ap-
proximately 75 new coats will
be distributed this fall.
Wallowa County Rotarians
and local benefactors donate ap-
proximately $2,000 each year to
purchase coats. Marilyn Dalton
of Building Healthy Families
purchases the warm winter coats
and hooded sweat shirts in a va-
riety of sizes and colors based
RQVSHFL¿FVWXGHQWQHHGV

ing on the corner of First and
Greenwood streets from 8 a.m.

the Community Retail Store on
Main in Wallowa. New items

available until the end of No-
vember.
