misappropriation of which he
was indicted and sentenced
on his plea of guilty. Ever
since Mr. French went to Sa-
lem reports have come back
to this county from time to
time to the effect that he was
not incarcerated in the state
prison at all. Disclosures
made at Salem in the last few
days show such was the case.
More weather records, for
continued cold, have been
made in Enterprise during the
week past. During the seven
days the temperature has
been at or below zero every
morning the lowest being 18

uary 22.
Two fire scares in one
week have made life excit-
ing for Sam Litch. Last Sat-
urday he was trying to clean
out a chimney of his house
in town. R.L. Day suggested

pouring oil on an old gunny
sack and placing it in the
chimney, saying this would
remove all the soot. Mr.
Litch tried this and shortly
flames were spouting from
the chimney top at such a
rate that the fire department
was called out. No harm was
done, however. While H.P.
Rowe was trying to thaw out
a frozen water pipe at Mr.
Litch’s fine house on Alder
Slope Tuesday morning, the
wall caught fire and burned
fiercely for a time. Mr.
Rowe chopped boards away
and got at the flame and ex-
tinguished it just in the nick
of time.

Four suspicious-looking
characters who had been
spotted in Wallowa were
trailed to the county seat,
where they were not hard to
locate as they parked their
car on Main street and trav-
eled from tavern to tavern.
Finally the officers were
ready to spring their trap.
... Three suspects gave up
without a struggle in the
face of overwhelming odds,
but one dived out the rear
door and sprinted down the
alley, tossing an object in a
garbage can as he fled over
the ice. Officer Harrison ...
overtook the fugitive near
the Safeway store. ... The
suspects were hauled off to
police headquarters for in-
vestigation. Approximately
$600 in currency was found
on them and $112 in nickels,
dimes and quarters. The ob-
ject taken from the garbage
can was a wool sock full of
coins. ... Word came over
the wires the next morning
that a string of public tele-
phone pay stations had been
robbed along a route from
Medford to Pendleton.
Plans for the construc-
tion of a $250,000 chipper
and barker at the Joseph
sawmill were announced
Saturday night by Bill Pat-
terson, manager of Boise
Cascade operations in this
region. Patterson said that
the contract has been let and
it is expected that work will
start almost immediately
with the new equipment to
be ready for operation by
some time in May. About
four additional full-time
men will be hired.
charge of having untagged
elk in his possession during
the recent elk season result-
ed in a hung jury which stood
7-5 for the conviction. Two
other defendants under in-
dictment on the same charge
were not tried at this time. ...
It was the contention of the
defense that Kelly killed the
elk in Union county and that
the regulation requiring im-
mediate tagging of elk when
killed is unreasonable.
Andy, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Walter Brennan, arrived on
last Saturday’s stage and was
met by his parents and taken to
the Brennan ranch. Andy, on
furlough from the south Pacif-
ic, has 21 days plus traveling
time. He and his parents plan
to leave here Jan. 29 for Holly-
wood where Mr. Brennan will
make another picture. The trip
will be made by plane.

25 YEARS AGO
Jan. 25, 1990
The U.S. Forest Ser-
vice has mismanaged Hells
Canyon and the Wallowa
Mountains and should be
replaced as the agency in
charge, an environmental
group claims. Members of
the Hells Canyon Preser-
vation Council on Friday
called for a federally funded
study on their proposal to
combine the Hells Canyon
National Recreation Area
and Eagle Cap Wilderness
in a combined national park
and preserve. ... A meeting
in Baker City, attended by
about 130 people, included
a heated exchange between
Ric Bailey of Enterprise,
spokesman for the HCPC,
and union representative
Paul Moorehead of Joseph,
who said his group would
fight the proposal “to the
bitter end.”
There were fewer peo-
ple working but also fewer
people looking for jobs last
month than in November,
bringing the Wallowa Coun-
ty unemployment rate for
December down to 5.0 per-
cent.
