Wallowa County Chieftain
1915 winter driving’s breakout year
100 YEARS AGO
Jan. 14, 1915
OUT OF THE PAST
The notion that automobiles
can be run in Wallowa county
only in the warmer months has
received a knockout blow this
winter. Cars have been in daily
use thus far into the winter in
nearly all parts of the county,
and owners have been getting
great service out of them. The
snow fall has been light and
the roads have kept smooth
and hard. A week ago Sunday
“Shorty” Rhodes went to Im-
naha and back, a trip that is
supposed to be impossible after
the latter part of fall. It has been
made repeatedly this winter,
however. Mr. Rhodes has set
his heart on running to Flora
and back before January ends.
Pioneer talk has been in the
air all this week in Enterprise,
owing to the return of J.W.
Rankin on a visit. He has lived
in Salem since 1908, having
gone there in the vain hope that
a change of climate would cure
the rheumatism from which he
had been a sufferer for some
years. The western part of the
state has its many good points,
Mr. Rankin admits, but he says
a young man who would leave
Wallowa county for the Wil-
lamette valley and expect to

have something the matter with
his head.

forth pay a license fee in the
amount of $300 per annum
to the treasurer of the city of
Enterprise under a new ordi-
nance being published by the
city council this week. The
license has hitherto been $20.
According to District Attor-
ney R.V. Chrisman gambling
by means of cards is illegal
under state law. Procurement
of a license from town au-
thorities, therefore, amounts
apparently only to a purchase
of freedom from molestation
by local authorities. It does
not affect the state law.
Mr. and Mrs. C.G. Pow-

snows have bunched the elk

a number of acts of vandal-

several individuals are under
surveillance for furnishing
liquor to minors... Saturday
night six stop signs in Enter-

run over by cars. At the VFW
dance at the Cloverleaf hall a
window was knocked out and
a hole punched through a par-
tition in the boys’ rest room.
