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.”

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.

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.
The Joseph department
store has been moving this
week from their old loca-
tion to their new building.
Considerable work still
remains to be done in the
new building before a for-
mal opening is held, Mrs.
Walter Brennan, owner of
the store, reports.

Audry Hammack, senior
at EHS, was named Enter-
prise FFA Chapter Sweet-
heart for 1969. Jill Birk-
maier, freshman, Bertie
Fletcher, junior, and Verna
Limbaugh, sophomore, also

A contingent of about 18
men was stranded in Enter-

mittal of Ronald Neal who
was killed in Viet Nam. The
entire contingent was from
Fort Lewis.
