Wallowa County Chieftain Community wallowa.com October 10, 2018 A3 North end wheat harvested by truck for the first time OUT OF THE PAST Compiled by Cheryl Jenkins 100 YEARS AGO Oct. 10, 1918 Saving of sugar is urgent. This means careful use and no waste of sugar or sugar substitutes. Cultivate a taste for less sweet desserts, bev- erages, jams and jellies. We need only enough sugar to make our meals palatable. Thanks to the use of auto trucks, a large part of the north end wheat, which is to be sold this year, has been delivered at the elevator and warehouses already. In for- mer years the custom was to wait until winter and haul the wheat out on sleighs. Gottfred Julius Carlson and Elmer Carlson, brothers, departed in great haste early this week from their home at Zumwalt after a gather- ing there without precedent in the history of Wallowa County. Nearly everybody living in the community, 100 men and women, gathered at the house Monday night. The visitors told the brothers they were ungrateful and disloyal to the land which had given them a home and prosperity, and advised them to move out without delay. There have come complaints by word of mouth, and by letter, that cer- tain homesteaders of alien birth were hiding behind this birth to escape assuming any responsibility on behalf of the land to which they had come, that they refused to do military service or to help in war finances or Red Cross or other kindred work. 70 YEARS AGO Oct. 7, 1948 An army of deer hunt- ers, estimated to number approximately 3,000, has been swarming over Wal- lowa County the past week with indifferent success. Up to yesterday, 167 bucks had been checked in at the lockers in Joseph, Enterprise, Lostine and Wallowa. This represents less than a six percent kill by the hunters believed to be in the field. Cecil Baker was instantly killed at the Stanley Shell ranch near Wallowa Tues- day morning when he was crushed beneath a tractor, which fell from a truck. The Enterprise Lumber Co. has completed the con- struction of its retail lumber yard on Greenwood Street and will be open for busi- ness Saturday with the public invited in for “open house.” Gifts for everyone, including the women and children, and door prizes are being offered. 50 YEARS AGO October 10, 1968 With the close of registra- Chieftain archive Built on a truck carriage, this Checker Cab, piloted by Jerry Moffit of Lostine, appeared to be one of the most solid cars of the 40 entered in the 1979 dirt oval track races at Wallowa County Fairgrounds. The car eventually stalled in the middle of the track. tion last Saturday, Wallowa County Democrats outnum- bered Republicans by over 650 out of a total registra- tion of 3,408. The Democrats have their strongest roots in the Lostine and Wallowa No. 3 precinct. The Republican strongholds are in the Flora and Enterprise No. 3 precinct. Total of the two parties is 1,362 Republicans and 2,031 Democrats. The Independents have 8 and the non-partisan 7. The 1968 mountain goat season was held in the high Wallowa mountains in the vicinity of Sacajawea Peak and the upper reaches of Hurricane Creek Sept. 28 through Oct. 2. According to the Game Commission office, five of the eight hunters were successful in bagging their game. Mr. and Mrs. Verne Rus- sell of Joseph were subjected to an unusual accident last Friday when returning home from La Grande. The wind- shield of their car was struck by a flying object just as a car- load of youngsters passed by. It was first suspected that per- haps a beer bottle had been thrown out by the youngsters. However, no evidence of the projectile, whatever it was, could be found. The object struck the windshield shat- tering glass all over the occu- pants, throughout their hair and clothing and in the uphol- stery of the car. 25 YEARS AGO Oct. 7, 1993 Three Wallowa County residents received statewide recognition at the recent Emergency Medical Services Conference in Portland. Liz Morgan was named Oregon’s EMT of the Year, while Con- nie Stein was the state’s lone recipient of the Life Saving Medal. Dennis McCleary, an employee of PP&L, received the EMS Civilian Medal for his aid to victims and help during an auto accident near Enterprise in May. A Troy-area man, Terry Dale Hampton, was killed Thursday when his pickup rolled 600 feet off the narrow Bartlett Road down a steep hillside about a mile north of Troy. Losing no time in getting their first production of the year to the stage, Joseph High School drama club members will present a 1880s farce, “Charley’s Aunt” next week. The play stars Will Roundy, Scott Dancer, Brent Latta, Jenni Blanchet and Ash- ley Jones and is directed by Norma Wetzell with Amy Washburn serving as student director. UPDATE The recent archive photo of the two gentlemen with the antlers from their recent hunt- ing success were Deb Fordice and his son Phil. The photo was taken at the Haas Horse Troughs in 1962 or 1963. The hunting party included Bud Maxwell and Harold Lay. Oregon FFA and Les Schwab work together with food banks to ‘Drive Away Hunger’ Les Schwab Tire Centers of Oregon has partnered with Oregon FFA in a “Drive Away Hunger” Initiative to help raise as much food as possible for those in need. The initiative will take place during October. Many Oregonians today are suffering from food inse- curity and worry about where their next meal may come from. Since 2008, the Ore- gon Food Bank has seen the demand for emergency food boxes increase by 44 percent. During October, while the Drive Away Hunger Initiative is happening, FFA members across the state will be doing a variety of service activities to raise as much food and funds as possible. Be on the look- out for activities and collec- tions happening throughout the community. Donors are encouraged to drop food donations at any Les Schwab Tire Center or local FFA Chapter. Collec- tion bags are being distributed to subscribers of the Wallowa County Chieftain, or pick up a collection bag at Les Schwab Tire Center. In addition to nonperish- able food, the FFA is seek- ing farm and ranch crop donations. Anyone willing to donate a portion of a food crop, please contact your local FFA chapter or Christa Towery with the Oregon FFA Foundation at ctowery@ore- gonffa.com. All donations received will be given to the local food pan- tries in your community. If there is more food donated than can be used in your com- munity, it will be distributed by the Oregon Food Bank to other pantries throughout the state. Last year the Oregon FFA’s Drive Away Hunger initiative helped raise 510,150 pounds of food which was enough food to provide 382,612 meals.
