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.
