Notice to Contractors. county of Wallowa, and the suit was brought in an endeavor to gain pos session of the property without re imbursing the county for it. The history of the case dates back over several years, and briefly is as follows: The people of Wallowa county voted to establish a county high school, tha law in the mutter providing that the county court could establish such an institution if first voted in by the people. It was decided to locate the insti tution at Enterprise, and for this purpose land was donated to the county. Howeved, in deeding the land to the county, a reversion clause was inserted in the deed, by which the land and property thereon would re vert to the original owner if the property ever ceased to be used as a county high school. The county court proceeded to erect a high school and furnish it, at a cost of something over $20,000 to the county. In the general election of 1912 the people of the county voted to abolish the county high school. The vote to do away with the institution was overwhelming. Taxpayers of the county had at least realized that a high school nt Enterprise supported . by general taxation ovpr the county, was nn imposition, in that it bene fited very little, anyone living away from Enterprise. Wallowa, Lostine and Joseph each maintained their own high schools, and nt the same time helped maintain the high school at Enterprise. Just before the November election in 1912, however, the original owner sion clause practically stricken out A similar mass meeting was called in Joseph a few evenings later and Attorney A. W. Schaupp of Joseph was of the sapie opinion as Mr. Trill. The county court then decided to enter into a law suit with the school district and i employed Attorneys Schuupp of Joseph, Cochran & Eber hard of La Grando and W. G. Trill of Wallowa to represent the county. The suit was first tried out in the Circuit Court with Judge Anderson, of Bilker City, who decided in favor of the county. This decision has just been sustained by the Supreme Court of the state. Taxpayers and residents through out the county are today praising the county court, and especially Commis sioners Couch and Newbv, and the four attorneys, W. G. Trill. A. W. Schaupp, and Cochran & Eherhard, for the stand they took, and the work they did in saving to the tax-payers a sum in excess of $20,000, for had the suit not been entered into, the Enterprise School District would have gained possession of the building and grounds.
