The proceedings of the
county court in laying out
the proposed J.W. McCau-
ley road near Troy were
vacated by Circuit Court
Judge Knowles and the
county was enjoined from
opening the highway or
taking any further action in
the matter. Last September
the county court ordered
the road opened. It previ-
ously accepted the report
of the road viewers, who
recommended the open-
ing of the highway, as it
gave an easier grade than
the old road and who also
recommended the payment
of damages of $50 to Mr.
Burns. The court’s order
allowed no damages. It
was attacked by Mr. Burns’
attorney, J.A. Burleigh.
Tracklaying was re-

The Wallowa County
Grain Growers, farmers
cooperative and succes-
sor of the Woolgrowers
Warehouse Co., has taken
over the farm implement
business which has been
owned and operated by
W.S. Strickler. The transfer
was effective January 12
and carries out the plans of
the cooperative which were
laid when the project of es-
tablishing the cooperative
was in the formative stage.
The cooperative now owns
the warehouse facilities of
the Woolgrowers in Joseph,
Enterprise and Lostine, the
facilities of the Renfrow
warehouse in Wallowa, the
facilities of the Wallowa
County Grange supply, and
the Strickler farm imple-
ment business.

mer is over, was made by
the council Monday night.
J.C. Edsall, chief engineer
of the East Oregon Lum-
ber company, was engaged
as consulting engineer for
the city, and E.M. Billings,
who also has been in the
company’s service, was
employed to do the actual
work. Mr. Billings started
Tuesday morning on a new
survey of the city.
Three suits, each asking
$25,000 damages, were
started in the Circuit court
this week against C. Mur-
dock, the Day Ridge farm-
er. The plaintiffs are C.R.
Fones, C.E. and George
Downing, who were arrest-
ed last June on complaint
of Mr. Murdock, who al-
leged criminal trespass
upon his ranch.

watka road and molested.

The Joseph Ranger District
of the Wallowa-Whitman Na-
tional Forest reports a timber
cut of 22 million board feet in

enough to build approximate-
ly 2750 average size homes,
more than all the residences in
Wallowa county.

hearings on rural health care
issues held by Sen. Bob Pack-

testimony,... Dr. Euhus pointed
to the many factors in modern

while holding down on medical
costs, were among other issues
covered by Euhus.
