The new bowling alley at
Joseph constructed by Dick
Reece is now virtually com-
plete and a large number of
bowling fans are enjoying their
favorite sport at this new rec-
reation center. Four alleys are
in use. The new building also
houses a lunch counter where
the hungry contestants can
renew their energies.
One of the largest bears
seen around here for some time
was shot last week by Keith
Moffit of Lostine who had
gone out with his father, Mike
Moffit, and their dogs to trail
the animal. The bear, a brown
cinnamon type, weighed 370
pounds dressed out.
A special telephone meet-
ing was held at the Reavis
school house on Tuesday night
for the purpose of discuss-
ing possibilities of installing
a telephone line through the
Gwynne and Reavis districts.
Around 14 families were rep-
resented. Keith Searles acted
as chairman of the meeting.
At one time, this territory had
a telephone line, and there
are still a few phones from it
that could be used. Four were
found at the meeting.

The idea of a monument
to be erected as a memorial
to the soldiers of Wallowa
County took definite form late
last week when a commit-
tee met and made preliminary
arrangements for the public
undertaking.
It is proposed to erect the
monument in the middle of the
street corner at Main and West
First streets, the corner of the
two banks. The details of con-
struction will be decided later.
The general idea will be to
place a statue of an American
doughboy on a massive base of
native granite.
A new draw kiln was built
this year by the Oregon Black
Marble company at its plant
at the base of the mountains
above Alder Slope. The kiln
is 40 feet high, of fire brick,
encased in a sheet steel cyl-
inder. The black marble is
dumped in at the top and is
drawn out pure white lime at
the bottom after burning. It is
carried on trucks to the ware-
house, where it remains in
bulk until shipped.
