The officials spent last week at Wallowa and Lostine and will go to Jo- seph next week. The ses- sions are in the nature of a court proceeding. All water users in the valley have been notified of the proceedings, and must file their claims, or lose their rights to the water for irrigation purpos- es ... These claims, accom- panied by maps prepared by engineers of the board, will be turned over by it to the Circuit court which in due time will issue a decree cov- ering all water rights on the Wallowa river. In the county baseball league, Enterprise and Jo- seph are now even, each having won three games and lost one. Wallowa has won two and lost two and Alder Slope has lost four. While returning to Chico from Enterprise J.J. Poulson was painfully injured ten days ago. He was driving a team and Henry Ibberson was riding with him. They were going down Johnson creek, on the new road lead- ing down to Crow creek, when one of the horses be- gan kicking. The tongue of the hack broke and the hors- es started to run, of course upsetting the vehicle.

This will be the third of three dams constructed in the Hells Canyon stretch of the Snake river. EDITORIAL: The argu- ments generally advanced in favor of restricting the sale of mail order guns, and otherwise licensing and regulating the purchase and ownership of firearms by ci- vilians, are not very impres- sive in our opinion. 25 YEARS AGO June 7, 1990 Chieftain archives R. S. & Z. Company was a regular advertiser 100 years ago in the Enterprise Record Chieftain. Poulson was holding tight to the reins and was thrown out heavily. One of the hors- es was found farther down the road with a leg broken, and the animal had to be shot. 70 YEARS AGO June 7, 1945 Freddy Falconer had the misfortune to lose a large barn by fire early Saturday morning. The barn was full of hay, harness, pack sad- dles and camp equipment. There was very little insur- ance. The loss amounted to from 1000 to 1500 dollars. No one knows how the fire started. In the past few weeks several local boys have re- ported what they have seen around German concentra- tion camps, testifying to experiences similar to those already reported in the press and over the radio. T-4 Max Bauer, who is serving with an army band unit, writes his mother, Mrs. Ethel Wade ... “We have been busy the last few days playing me- morial services for the dead from a concentration camp near by. Those that had been buried were buried in a common grave while a great many hadn’t been buried at all.

The German civilians from sev- eral small villages were also ordered to attend the funeral and witness the results of German brutality within the camp.” 50 YEARS AGO June 10, 1965 The Wallowa County Court, meeting Friday with the county budget commit- tee, voted to allot $5,000 of State money received for county Fair promotions to the Joseph Chamber of Com- merce for use in putting on the Chief Joseph Days show. The action contained a pro- viso that the Chamber quali- fy under state law for the use of the funds which are limit- ed to Fair promotion purpos- es ... The Fair Board — Reid Johnson, Dave Wagner and Don Wallace — took strong issue with the decision con- tending that the Board could use all of the $20,000 plus received from the state for county Fairs, and more, for its normal 4-H, FFA, and Open Class Fairs and for its building program at the fair- grounds. Work on construction of the Hells Canyon dam in the Snake river was expected to get under way this week A spring Wallowa Coun- ty snowstorm last Thursday undoubtedly discouraged some car owners who had planned to take part in the first Mountain Cruise car rally based in Joseph last weekend, but the weath- er cleared for the Show ’n’ Shine event Saturday, draw- ing a large crowd to enjoy the lineup of 75 shiny cars on Main Street from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday ... “We didn’t get as many cars as we expected, but the num- ber we had was just right for a first show. We’re definite- ly going to do it again next year,” said Chuck Garrett, rally organizer. After 20 years at Joseph High School, Principal Bill McCadden has resigned to accept a position as prin- cipal of Chiloquin High School in Klamath County. Persons interested in becoming involved in a move to petition the Wal- lowa County Court to form a health care district are asked to contact Pam Latta or Gail Searles.

The Magic Garden en- closure sits on the Imnaha property of Janie Tippett, who was among the specta- tors. “Four of us were trans- planting tomato plants and I had gone to the irrigation ditch to fill a watering can, and there was a horse drink- ing (outside the enclosure), when suddenly the horse went ballistic,” Tippett said. Initially, Tippett thought the horse was afraid of an unusual hat she was wear- ing. The horse ran over to two other horses and all three stood trembling with their ears pointed forward. “A wolf was coming out of the tall grass just yards from us with a newly born fawn in its mouth,” Tippett said. She added she was close enough to see the fawn was a newborn. The wolf crossed underneath Tippett’s property line fence and started up a draw when a doe wandered out, as did another wolf that met the original wolf at the mouth of the draw. “They (the wolves) just looked at us like, ‘hello, you want to join us for break- fast?’ while the poor doe was racing around. Having seen this before, I was pret- ty sure the doe had another one in her because her stom- ach was still big,” Tippett said. She added she thought the wolf took the fawn just as it was born as it did not make a sound. “It was pretty tragic, and I didn’t have a camera to get a picture of it, and we had plenty of time to get one. We were just so spellbound it happened,” Tippett said. Church Directory Concert St. Katherine's Catholic Church Summit Church Fr. Roger Fernando 301 E.

The concert starts midway through the Farm- ers’ Market every Thursday afternoon at 5:30, and be- gan June 4 with Lee Penn Sky and the Oliphants in the gazebo. A healthy crowd of about 30 showed up for the first concert. The free event is an op- portunity for the community to enjoy 90-minute perfor- mances by local and region- al musicians. This year the series extends to Sept. 17 and features a broad range of musical genres, includ- ing classical, folk, jazz, and rock. It’s a perfect opportunity to pack a picnic, bring fami- ly, meet up with friends and enjoy the cooler hours. The Courthouse Concert Series is partially funded by Lear’s Main Street Pub & Grill, the City of Enterprise and do- nations from generous con- cert-goers. Next up on the sched- ule is John Craige and Bart Budwig, folksingers: hum- ble and funny, June 11; Lau- ren Sheehand String Band, grassroots music of Amer- ica, June 25; and Heart & Hammer, musical food for the soul on July 2.
