Wallowa County Chieftain
Deep snow leaves hunting party marooned
100 YEARS AGO
Nov. 18, 1915
OUT OF THE PAST
The old White Front livery
barn on River street north of
the hotel has about ended its
career as a stable. T.C. Bun-
nel has contracted to buy the
property of S.L. Burnaugh Jr.
and expects to remodel the
building and transform it into
an up-to-date machine shop.
From 4:20 o’clock Tues-
day afternoon until 1 o’clock
Wednesday morning, Charles
C. Colgate was pinned in the
bottom of a well on John T.
Trainor’s ranch on Ant Flat.
The well caved in while
Mr. Colgate was cleaning it
and he was caught between
timbers of the wooden crib-
bing. Thirty or more men
worked to save him and at
last brought him to the sur-
face painfully bruised but ap-
parently without any serious
injury.
Business houses of En-
terprise are arranging for the
installation of a dozen West-
ern Union clocks about town,
to give the correct time at all
hours. The clocks are rented
of the telegraph company
which keeps them running
and corrects them every
hour. A telegraph wire will
be run up town to each clock,
and the correct time will
come over this hourly from
the government naval obser-
vatory at San Francisco.

Five camps of elk hunters
are marooned by deep snow
between Troy and Tollgate
where they have been since
the opening of elk season.
The snow is reported to be
about a foot and a half deep
on the level but with drifts
much deeper. Consideration
was being given to the idea of
dropping provisions to them
by airplane yesterday.
The milk pasteurizing
plant recently constructed by
August Staub is now in oper-
ation with approximately 650
quarts of milk being delivered
daily to local dealers. An in-
spection of the plant shows a
