OUT OF THE PAST Compiled by Cheryl Jenkins Items of interest from the pages of The Chieftain from this week in years past. 100 YEARS AGO Jan. 11, 1917 • An increase of 267 chil- dren of school age in the county over 1915 is shown by the school census taken Dec. 1, 1916.

Rumble, asking for an accounting of the affairs of the Elgin Forwarding Com- pany through all the years the two men operated it as part- ners. The complaint alleges that about $30,000 is not ac- counted for. • A glance at prices of farm products a year ago and today shows the decided advance made during the 12 months. Wheat a year ago was consid- ered strong at 91 cents; now it is around $1.50. Potatoes were worth one cent a pound a year ago and sell now for a cent and a half and up; farm butter sold last year for 65 cents for a 2 pound roll, the price is now fi ve to ten cents higher. 70 YEARS AGO Jan. 9, 1947 • In 1946 the county paid bounties on 15 cougar, 58 bobcats and 1,087 coyotes, totaling $4,002. 25 YEARS AGO Jan. 9, 1992 Chieftain archives Location unknown, year possibly 1951.

Brown has sent in to The Chieftain an inter- esting fossil which he found on Temperance creek by the old Wisenor house. The rock resembles the snout of a fi sh or toad with the outline of what appear to be human teeth along one side. • A fi re broke out shortly after 1 o’clock on the morn- ing of January 3 in the attic of the Pastime Poolhall, causing considerable damage to the interior. The city marshal and the girls at the switchboard at the telephone offi ce were right on the job. For some rea- son the siren failed to blow. T HE B OOKLOFT AND Skylight Gallery • An oil heater exploded at the Corner market in Wallowa Friday morning causing con- siderable damage to the mer- chandise and building. Due to so much severe cold weather the fi re truck refused to run, so they used fi re extinguishers. • Lostine: Last Thurs- day evening the town was alarmed when the fi re siren gave 4 blasts. Since 3 screams indicate that the water is be- ing turned off, and 1 alarm denotes a fi re, it took a few minutes to understand its meaning. But in a few min- utes the city cart and hose were in operation at the scene 541.426.3351 • 107 E.
