War causing labor, material shortage in area
OUT OF THE PAST

100 YEARS AGO
Nov. 15, 1917
City fathers in Enterprise
are mulling a plan to pave the
business streets in the city,
but the idea may have to wait.
Those opposed say this is a
poor time for any new under-
taking with materials and labor
expensive and scarce owing to
the war conditions. The streets
are in poor condition, how-
ever, and paving is considered
the ultimate solution.
Sawmill and logging com-
panies all over the northwest

according to the U.S. For-
est Service. Companies are
making special inducements
to men to stay. Entities with

car accident in June 1965 has

The developers of the
Joseph Point Subdivision
scored a victory in their bat-
tle to put expensive homes on
the Wallow Lake moraine last
week when their case was con-
sidered by the Oregon Court of
Appeals. Twenty-six lots aver-
aging about an acre each have
been proposed.
A group of Wallowa County
Churches has requested the
Wallowa Valley TV Associ-
ation begin rebroadcasting
KMBI-FM, a popular Chris-
tian radio station in Spokane.
A survey of members will be
undertaken.
Wallowa Valley Players are
preparing a production of Neil
Simon’s comedy hit “Barefoot
in the Park” at Joseph Civic
Center. Desert will be served.
Seating is limited.
Native American artists sought for downtown Joseph artwork
More –– and more authen-
tic –– Native American art
may soon be making its way to
Main Street in Joseph.
The Josephy Center for
Arts and Culture has received
a large grant from the Ore-
gon Community Foundation to
engage a Plateau Indian Artist
to add his or her work to the
bronze streetscape in the city.
Joseph is named after Nez
Perce leader Chief Joseph, as
is the annual rodeo. In the past
several years, local foundries
and galleries, working with
city offi cials, have developed
a streetscape that features a
dozen bronze sculptures. The
city has recently been desig-
nated by the state of Oregon an
art district.
“Four of the dozen bronze
sculptures currently on Main
Street depict Indians; none of
them are the work of tribal art-
ists,” said said project man-
ager Rich Wandschneider.
“The Josephy Center, with
its unique position as a win-
dow between local people and
descendants of tribal people
who once lived here, wrote the
grant, and, along with tribal
representatives, will select an
artist to do the work.”
The Josephy Center is
named after Alvin M. Josephy,
Jr. the noted historian of the
Nez Perce and long-time advo-
cate for American Indians.
The matter of names Joseph
and Josephy is purely coinci-
dental, “but it is a nice coinci-
dence,” Wandschneider said.
The center is home to a
library of books that Josephy
collected over his long career.
Fundraiser set for Joseph Library
Joseph Public Library
fundraising committee will
host a benefi t to help fund

munity gathering and library

fundraiser will be matched
with funds from a project grant
authorized by the Wildhorse
Foundation in Pendleton.

Many of the books deal with
Plateau Indian culture and his-
tory, and students and writers
come frequently to explore
Indian themes and share their
work with local and visiting
audiences.
Tribal artists interested in
the opportunity have until Jan.
15 to send resumes and portfo-
lios to the center.
The project calls for
three-dimensional public art
but is not restricted to bronze
sculpture –– the medium is art-
ist’s choice.
As many as three artists
will each receive $1,000 and
six weeks to develop propos-
als for a sculpture to stand in
the Josephy Center courtyard
or on Joseph’s Main Street.
One artist will then receive
one-third of the $25,000 award
and have a year to complete
the project.
