A6 News wallowa.com March 25, 2015 Wallowa County Chieftain Chieftain archives The East Oregon Lumber Company’s railroad was still under construction when it took a break to showcase the project’s progress to Enterprise residents, 50 of whom took an excursion on the partially completed line on March 14, 1915. Winding Waters Clinic Gas hauler plunges down Minam Hill 100 YEARS AGO March 25, 1915 The automobile fever shows no signs of abating in Wallowa county, but rather is raging more actively than ever this spring. Two car- loads of autos have been re- ceived at Enterprise already and two carloads more will come in shortly. Trading in second hand autos is very brisk, and the outlook is that the number of machines will be nearly doubled before the season ends. The En- terprise garage brought in the first carload, Maxwell cars. Among the purchasers are S.B. Williamson, White Front livery. S.P.

Main • Enterprise • www.bookloftoregon.com OUT OF THE PAST Compiled by Rob Ruth and Winchester Brothers. ... Rodgers Brothers received their first carload of Fords last week. Grave fears are felt by farmers that this county is to be visited again this year by another and more severe grasshopper pest. Reports from Alder Slope and from Prairie creek are to the effect that the hoppers are hatch- ing out already, and that the ground is alive with their eggs. The contract for the con- struction of the first unit of the new Enterprise sewer system was let Monday af- ternoon by the council to J.H. Childs of La Grande, for $14,958.45. He was the lowest bidder of the eleven who sought the work. 70 YEARS AGO March 22, 1945 On Tuesday of last week two men miraculously es- caped death when a large gasoline transport truck and trailer went out of con- trol, due to a failure of air brakes, while coming down Minam hill and rolled to the bottom of the canyon. Descending the Minam hill the air hose broke and the huge truck gained a speed of 55 miles an hour before the driver swerved the truck into the road bank a short distance above View Point. The truck careened over the steep embankment, plunging and rolling to the bottom of the canyon. The gas tanks, trailer and truck were all detached in the de- scent and 5700 gallons of gasoline poured down the mountainside when holes were ripped in the tanks. Both men climbed out of the cab unhurt. A suit was filed Monday by attorneys Henry Hess of La Grande and R.V. Chris- man to correct the location of the lines on most of the property situated in the town of Lostine. This legal action grows out of a mis- take made in the original plat of the village of Lostine filed by Sarah E. Rinehart and John Rinehart on Oct. 29, 1884. The complaint in the suit just filed alleges a mistake in the original dedi- cation deed which threw the property lines off about 160 feet creating a confusion which has prevented the se- curing of abstracts of title and title insurance to prop- erty located in the town.

His foot and lower leg have been placed in a cast. Trump said he was working for Louie Audet, and Sunday morning looked out his window and saw some magpies at the barn. He got a .22 pump repeater and went out to the barn, but the mag- SLHV ÀHZ RII :KHQ KH FDPH back to the porch he pumped out the shells and while doing VRRQH¿UHGDQGZHQWWKURXJK his foot about three inches up from his second toe. The .22 long, hollow-point bullet did considerable damage. What irked him most, Trump said, was the magpies getting away! Measles reported over the VWDWHGXULQJWKH¿VWWZRPRQWKV of this year totaled 917 cases, as early indication that thou- sands of Oregon children will be affected by the time “mea- sles season’ reaches its Spring peak, according to Dr. Richard + :LOFR[ 6WDWH +HDOWK 2I¿- cer. He urged parents to have children vaccinated as soon as possible Traditionally, the disease gains momentum until April or May, with strong in- cidence still apparent through June. James Hyatt, who was seriously injured about three weeks ago in a fall at the J. Herbert Bate Co. mill at Wallowa, is still a patient at the Wallowa Memorial Hospital. ... He fell about 20 feet while dismantling a building and landed on his feet. Bob Friddles, of Troy, who was seriously injured last week when a tractor and trailer over- turned on him, is reported to be improving slowly at the Wal- lowa Memorial Hospital. 25 YEARS AGO March 22, 1990 Oregon Senator Bob Packwood visited Eagle Cap Chalets at Wallowa Lake last week to dispute claims that President Bush’s proposed WD[ FXW ZRXOG EHQH¿W RQO\ the rich. Speaking to about 10 persons gathered in the re- sort’s new conference room, Packwood said that former owners of the business Ray and Pat Combes are typical of the kind of people who would EHQH¿WIURPWKHSURSRVHGWD[ cut. “People like this are the kind of people who ought to EHQH¿WIURPFXWVLQWKHFDSLWDO gains tax,” Packwood said. A good offense is the best defense. That’s the message the Wallowa Soil and Con- servation District and Wal- lowa County Stockgrowers Association are trying to get across to local cattlemen, who are under the gun for polluting local streams. Cow manure is being blamed for contributing to the high mor- tality of steelhead smolts at the Wallowa hatchery near Enterprise for the past three years, according to a report released recently by the Ore- gon Department of Environ- mental Quality (DEQ). At its March 16 meeting, the Rotary Club of Wallowa County honored Don and Rosemary Green, rural Jo- seph, as its Couple of the Year.
