COMMUNITY Wallowa.com Wednesday, February 6, 2019 A3 O.K. Theater petitions council to put on picture shows OUT OF THE PAST Compiled by Cheryl Jenkins 100 YEARS AGO February 6, 1919 When the business sec- tion of Enterprise is paved this summer, should an ornamental parking be con- structed down the middle of each street? City Engineer E.M. Billings has drawn a plan of a street with parking down the middle leaving a driveway of 27 feet on each side. Every person is asked to give his views to a mem- ber of the city council. A petition on behalf of the O. K. Theater was pre- sented to the city council asking permission to oper- ate picture shows Sun- day afternoon. The coun- cil thought it best to take no action without a showing from a larger representation of people of town. Construction of the new Model bakery is going on rapidly. Bricklaying on the large oven will be fi n- ished in a few days. About 300 suggestions for a name for the bread to be pro- duced were received, and that selected is “Wallowa Pride.” 70 YEARS AGO February 3, 1949 Slot machine opera- tors and owners of all other types of gambling establish- ments in Wallowa county were ordered by Sheriff Gilbert Cox to get gambling devices cleaned out by Wednesday night or be sub- ject to prosecution. About 80 slot machines have been in operation in the county. In Joseph, Enterprise and File photo/ “Girls Friendly Society.” The women in this undated photo are not identifi ed. If you know who they are please write the Wallowa County Chieftain at editor@wallowa.com. Wallowa the city has been taking in several thousand dollars annually in revenues from the machines and city offi cials are complaining that the loss of these reve- nues will seriously impair city fi nances and services. The present drive will be directed at all types of gam- bling, card games as well as slot machines and punch boards and even church raffl es. Raymond Kooch lost his two lead Belgian horses from his six-horse team Sunday. He had been keep- ing the horses in the barn with the milk cows and they nosed open a grain spout and foundered on the grain.
