Enterprise-Lewiston highway formally opens
OUT OF THE PAST
Compiled by Cheryl Jenkins
100 YEARS AGO
Aug. 29, 1918
In a premature explosion
of black powder on Big Sheep
Creek last Thursday, Wil-
liam Beaudoin was severely
burned and cut about the face
and hands, Grant Tucker was
struck above the eye with a
piece of flying glass, which
cut a deep gash, and Fred
Bird received minor injuries
on his hands and face. Rich-
ard Bird, a fourth member of
the party, came out without a
scratch.
Backed by the judgment
of a Nevada mining engineer,
the men who recently filed on
a large area of mineral land in
the high mountains reached
by the South Fork, are prepar-
ing to begin development of
the property.
Postmasters have been
instructed to receive appli-
cations for enlistment in the
U.S. Army from men who
have passed their 46th birth-
day and who have not yet
reached their 56th birthday
in any of the following staff
departments: Medical, Signal
Corps, Air Service and Quar-
termaster Corps.
70 YEARS AGO
Aug. 26, 1948
Several hundred peo-
ple from Wallowa County
are expected to drive over
the new Enterprise-Lewiston
highway Saturday to attend
the program at Field Springs
state park across the Grande
Ronde river, marking the for-
mal opening of the new high-
way. The highway will be
in reasonably good condi-
tion barring heavy rains. It
is reported, and persons who
have already driven over the
road state, that it is an unusu-
ally scenic drive.
Chief topic of conversa-
tion among the sportsmen
these days is the open season
on cow elk in the Chesnim-
nus and Minam river areas.
Strong sentiment against the
action of the state game com-
mission in opening the season
on cow elk in these areas has
developed and a number of
petitions are being circulated
in opposition to the regulation
and asking for a change lim-
iting elk hunting in Wallowa
county to bulls.
The cookhouse and all
contents at the Blue Mt. Pine
Mill, owned by Frank Kes-
sler, burned. Fire was caused
by an overheated oil stove
while the cook was preparing
dinner.
