No accurate estimate of the amount of the loss could be made until it was learned whether the animals were full grown sheep or lambs. However, it was said by many that an aver- age mixed herd of 500 would be worth at least $6000. Mr. Paxton’s sheep were not on the Wenaha reserve but were on pasture near the edge of the national forest about midway between Elgin and Palmer Junction. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Aug. 29, 1969 Two trucks and 10 Pendleton firemen bat- tled a leaking ammonia tanker at Farmco of Oregon Inc. on Airport Road Thursday. A bro- ken pipe on the tanker caused the ammonia to leak out. As some firemen cleared ammo- nia with water, others screwed on a connection but the pressure was too great and the ammo- nia burst loose. It was washed away with water pressure. It finally dissipated and was capped. Fireman Bart Harris and Capt. Lloyd Rhine- hart were treated and released at St. Anthony Hospital for blisters caused by the ammonia. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Aug. 29, 1994 While Oregon deals with a 5.9 percent unemployment rate, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation wage their own battle against unemployment num- bers six times higher. “We want them (tribal members) to come work for us,” said Paul Quaempts, personnel manager. “We think in the long run we have more to offer.” Quae- mpts insists there are good salaried jobs and training available for the unemployed. “We need to let the people know we have jobs here,” he said.
