Two heavy trucks are now in service between Enterprise and outlying points, and they have proved a great success while the roads are hard and at all smooth. • The heaviest shipment of stock from the north end of the county in a year was brought out last week and went to Portland on Satur- day’s train. There were three carloads of hogs and two of cattle. The farmers are Lost Prairie and Paradise men. • Construction work on the new concrete dam at the foot of the lake will be under- way in a few days under the charge of J.C. Edsall. He will erect a temporary ofice at the site for his headquarters. Local men will be employed on the work as far as possible and such material as can be will be bought here. • Charles E. Vest, long a resident of Joseph, died Oct. 17. A couple of weeks ago he scratched one hand and an alarming infection followed.

Stivers, two able-bodied men, working without the assis- tance of professional buck killers or their wives, picked off a couple of 4-point bucks down on the breaks of Joseph creek. • One’s irst impression on stepping into the halls of EHS is that he has made a mistake and gotten into the hospi- tal. Four boys, Frank Hays, Mitchell Heasty, Kenneth Ja- cob and Mack Birkmaier, are hobbling to and fro on crutch- es and Bill Hays is minus a front tooth and has a cut lip. Not all are football casualties. • 826 chest x-ray pictures were taken in this county when the mobile unit visited Wallowa, Enterprise and Jo- seph last week.

First Ronny, then Frank, and now Bill. • It is reported that there were so many hunters out in the Lick Creek section last Sunday that the road looked like a popular highway. Someone estimated that there were about 800 persons in the woods, all looking for deer.

Accompa- nist was Gail Swart. • Photo: One of these four senior girls at Jo-Hi will reign as Homecoming Queen this weekend when the Eagles take on the Union Bobcats.

With less than 3 minutes remaining in the game, Wal- lowa punched across the win- ning touchdown to edge the Ea- gles 13-7. The victory kept the Cougars’ unbeaten skein alive and put them a step closer to clinching the Tu-Valley League grid crown. They need only one more victory to wrap up the championship. Dean Hatch and Dan Tippett were singled out for turning in an outstanding game for Joseph. Bob Keyser, Butch Winters, Tom Frazier and Rocky Wilson were tabbed at the standout performers for the victorious Cougars. 25 YEARS AGO Oct. 17, 1991 • Over 60 pounds of mar- ijuana were coniscated in S KYLIGHT G ALLERY Finding books is our specialty 541.426.3351 • 107 E .

It electriied Enterprise fans. It stunned the Grant Union Prospectors. The pass … was just the thing Enter- prise needed to escape with a 22-14 victory. Time for a Computer Tuneup?
