Wallowa County Chieftain
Search party locates young rabbit hunters
100 YEARS AGO
Dec. 2, 1915
OUT OF THE PAST
• J.K. Carper walked into En-
terprise Tuesday evening from
a six weeks’ hunting jaunt in
the reserve between the Imnaha
and Snake rivers. He went in
the employ of the forest service
and his mission was to destroy
predatory animals. He started
the hunt with six dogs and got
back with only three, the oth-
ers having failed to return after
they had taken the trail of wild
animals.
• A new system of compar-
ing grades has been put in op-
eration in the Enterprise public
schools. It tends to bring the
work of the pupil directly be-
fore the eye of the parent. Ev-
ery pupil has been graded for a
period of six weeks and these
grades, together with the indi-
vidual grades of his classmates,
have been averaged and the
resulting averages indicate the
grades of a normal pupil. The
parents’ duty is to ¿nd the rea-

cy and banish them, no matter

and lack of physical and mental
cleanliness are the backbones
of our penal systems.

• Twenty-nine school board
members, representing 11 of
the 42 school districts in the
county, met Friday night at
the Enterprise high school and
organized the Wallowa county
association of school boards,
with Max Wilson of Joseph as
president and Melvin Crow of
Lostine secretary-treasurer of
the new association.
• For the ¿rst time in sev-
eral years Wallowa county’s
school census did not drop. In
fact, there are four more pupils

enumerated this year than there
were last. The number of boys
remains the same, 840, but this
year there are 775 girls, a total
of 1615.
• Red Cross workers have
been busy. Mrs. S.M. Crow
and Mrs. Eddie Blokland of
Lostine were in town Tuesday
afternoon bringing up eleven
¿lled Christmas bags for the
soldiers, 23 dresses which the
Lostine ladies had made for
Philippine ladies, and some
socks and sweaters. They took
home more material to be
made up, A part of the Christ-
mas bags have been turned in
from Wallowa and Enterprise.

• Three Enterprise young-
sters became lost Sunday after-
noon while hunting rabbits in the
Mud Springs area north of En-
terprise and were the object of a
search which lasted into the wee
hours of Monday morning. Dan
Courtney, Dave Courtney and
Shane Homan left home about
2:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon
to go rabbit hunting. At 7:30 a
search party consisting of Stan
Farris, Bill Dunn, Jerry Homan,
Mark Marks, Leroy and Marge
McGraw and Jim Courtney set
out to make a systematic search
of the area where it was thought
the boys might have gone. The
boys were ¿nally found about
3:00 a.m.
• John Anderson and Rhonda
Kiser were recently named FHA
Dreamboat and FFA Sweetheart
at Joseph High School. Rhonda
had to make a speech, hammer
nails, saw boards and answer
questions about farming. John
won his title by ironing a shirt,
sewing on a button, folding a
diaper, threading a sewing ma-
chine and quartering a grape-
fruit.

Tuesday morning tore through
northeast Oregon leaving a path
of destruction in its wake. Photo

lic works superintendent Keith

Karvoski and Jim Thompson at-

farm, located about two miles
east of Joseph. Firemen from
Enterprise and Joseph were
summoned to the scene.
• The familiar Christmas star
on Tick Hill above Wallowa
may not shine this holiday sea-
son for the ¿rst time in many
many years, Due to vandalism
by an unknown person or per-
sons wielding .22 caliber riÀes
during the past year, the struc-
ture and wiring of the star must
be completely replaced. The
Wallowa Lions Club is under-
taking to rebuild the luminous
star with a fully encased steel
version, but the job is a big one
and it appears it will not be done
in time for this Christmas sea-
son.
• Operation Desert Shield
personnel from Joseph should
get a big morale boost in Saudi
Arabia in the near future when
they receive the special “Christ-
mas care packages” sent to
them this week by the students
of Joseph Elementary School.
Among Joseph soldiers being
sent packages by the kids were
Troy Davis, Michael Barstad,
Garry Morrison and David Lit-
tle.
