• After repeated efforts to orga-
nize a fi re company in Enterprise, the
city council Monday night started a
move that, it is hoped, will effect the
desired result. E.S. Ward was named
fi re chief, with authority to assemble
a company with 14 members. Each
member will receive $2 a month,
with the requirement that he attend at
least one drill and one meeting each
month, and report at each fi re during
the period.
• No one should miss the best en-
tertainment of the season, the operetta
“Cinderella in Flowerland” to be giv-
en in the near future by the primary
grades of the Enterprise school. Mon-
ey is needed to swell the phonograph
fund. All should attend The Princess
Sunshine Ball.
• The state is likely to reopen the
Minam hatchery and conduct it for
the propagation of game fi sh instead
of the commercial salmon, State
Game Warden Carl D. Shoemaker
said last week, when in the coun-
ty with the offi cial Oregon game
pictures. If this is done, this county
will be able to get more young trout
planted in its streams and lakes, thus
keeping fi shing good. The hatchery in
the past contributed nothing to fi shing
here, as it was devoted to hatching
salmon which were released in the
great rivers.

SALEM — A bill to ex-
pand the hours of self-serve
gas stations in rural counties
in Eastern Oregon, including
Wallowa, is headed to the
Senate, after the House of
Representatives unanimously
passed it March 30.
The bill allows 24-hour
self service at stations in
certain counties. Those sta-
tions would still be required
to have attendants between 6
a.m. and 6 p.m., however.
The legislation by Rep.
Cliff Bentz, R-Ontario, ex-
pands on a law passed in
2015 that allowed self-ser-
vice between the hours of 6
p.m. and 6 a.m. in 18 coun-
ties with a population of less
than 40,000.
The idea was to protect
travelers from being stranded
in remote places.
Oregon is one of only two
states that prohibit customers
from pumping their own gas
at fueling stations. The other
is New Jersey.
In Eastern Oregon, some
locally-owned gas stations
have been at risk of closure
due to the expense of hiring
fueling attendants to pump
customers’ gas, Bentz said.
“We are trying to preserve
these stations out in the mid-
dle of nowhere so that we
have fuel available,” Bentz
said earlier this month.
The proposed change af-
fects 15 counties in Eastern
Oregon: Malhuer, Union,
Wasco, Hood River, Jeffer-
son, Crook, Baker, Morrow,
Lake, Grant, Harney, Wal-
lowa, Gilliam, Sherman and
Wheeler.

prise. A survey of the snow pack in
the high mountains was made last
Saturday and revealed that the water
content is well above the average for
this time of the year and is far above
the measurements taken on April 1
of last year.
• Wallowa launched their 1967
Track Campaign by trouncing the
Joseph Eagles 109-26 in a dual meet
held at Wallowa Monday afternoon.
The Cougars captured all but three
of the events and set a new fi eld re-
cord in the 440-yard relay.
• Two of the earliest pictures
taken in this county are views of
encampments of the Nez Perce In-
dians. One taken at the foot of Wal-
lowa Lake shows tepees on the slope
of the moraine toward what is now
Wahluna Terrace. The tepees of the
Indians however, face toward the
north rather than the south, sensibly
avoiding the strong wind which of-
ten blows from the south down the
length of the lake.

• Four Wallowa County athletes
copped fi rst place honors and one
set a new meet record at the 20-team
Umatilla High School meet held here
last Saturday. Jake Roberts, a Joseph
sophomore, was the record setter with
a 2:04.27, fi rst place time in the 800
meter run. The other champions were
Richard Eoff and Lynn Jackson of Wal-
lowa, and Amy Williams of Joseph.
• Plans to rebuild Jerry’s Main St.
Market in Joseph, devastated by fi re
almost three weeks ago, have been ap-
parently stalled by some type of nego-
tiations between business owners Jerry
and Jean Logosz and Fred Kaup, who
still holds the contract on the building.

daughter of Fauna Ollis of Enterprise

cuted while changing irrigation pipe
