Cold weather puts a strain on Wallowa County residents
their mark on the store by
causing quite a little dam-
age before they left.
OUT OF THE PAST

The oven of the new
Model bakery, with inside
dimensions of 12 by 14
feet, has been completed
and fi re was started in it a
few days ago. Considerable
more work remains to be
done, remodeling the build-
ing on West Main street,
and putting in the necessary
partitions.
Sunday afternoon pic-
ture shows will be started in
the O. K. Theater the com-
ing Sunday, with “Persh-
ing’s Crusaders”, a United
States government fi lm. J.
A. Van Wie, manager of
the house, decided on this
course after hearing all
sides of the question. There
is no state law against open-
ing places of amusement on
Sunday, and no city has the
authority to enforce an ordi-
nance to that effect.
With constitution and
bylaws adopted, the new
Chamber of Commerce of
Enterprise will meet again
next Tuesday night to elect
offi cers and get ready for
business.
Fred Dorrance had a
serious accident while rid-
ing from school recently to
his home on Crow creek.
He was thrown from his
horse but his spur caught
in the saddle and he was
dragged some distance. His
companions revived him
and assisted him home and
he has about recovered.

The Lostine school
bus with 12 children was
stranded in deep snow drifts

ning until 2:30 Wednesday
morning when rescue crews
fi nally bulldozed their way
through several miles of
fi ve and six foot drifts to
reach the half-buried vehi-
cle. All of the children had
been taken a few hours
before by horseback to the
A. N. McCoy place.
Medicine was fl own out
and dropped Monday to the
12-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Clint Johnson on
Crow creek, who had been
seriously ill with pneumo-
nia. With the Crow creek
road choked with snow for
miles from the pass on, a
plane was the only means of
reaching the isolated ranch.
The Wallowa Memo-
rial hospital committee
gratefully
acknowledges
a pledge of $1,000 from
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Daggett
of Joseph, and substantial
pledges from the following:
Snyder Lumber Co., Enter-
prise; I. E. Snyder, Enter-
prise; A. M. Pace, Enter-
prise; and Father Robert E.
Kennedy, Enterprise.
Because snow-blocked
highways and rail lines into
the valley have cut off oil
supplies for Pacifi c Power
& Light company’s diesel
generating plant, the power
company today issued an
emergency appeal for a
temporary cut in power use.
50 YEARS AGO
February 13, 1969
The EHS Savage wres-
tlers defeated a tough
Clarkston team last Fri-
day by the score of 30 to
21. This win gave the Sav-
age team a .500 season.
Jawn Stockdale is the only
EHS wrestler to have a per-
fect season this year. Bruce
Weimer had the second
best record with only one
loss and one tie.
Lance Corporal John
W. Roberts, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Ivan Roberts of Wal-
lowa, is home on 20 days
leave from the Marines.
Corporal Roberts has com-
pleted his tour of duty in
Vietnam and while there
was commended by the
Secretary of the Navy.
The Joseph Chamber of
Commerce voted to add
a major attraction to the
three-day celebration this
year, to be held in the rodeo
arena during Chief Joseph
Days. It is planned that the
show will consist of tal-
ent of top notch quality.
Among those mentioned
as possibilities were the
Everley Brothers and Hank
Thompson.
Burglars struck again at
the Shell Mercantile store
Tuesday night to make off
with a small handful of
change. The thieves left
Two
elderly
Wal-
lowa sisters, Bessie Alice
Stickney, 80, and her sis-
ter Agnes Shirley Peter-
son, 72, out for a Sun-
day drive lost their lives
in subzero temperatures
this week when their car
became stuck on Whiskey
Creek Road approximately
12 miles from Wallowa
and they succumbed to the
cold.
The 1994 Chief Joseph
Days Court – Carrie Sny-
der, Shannon Vernam and
Josie Botts – paid their dues
Feb. 2 when they served as
waitresses at the annual
Groundhog Dinner put on
by the Joseph Chamber of
Commerce.
Progress caught up with
the City of Enterprise when
the Oregon Department of
Transportation
installed
a fl ashing caution light at
the corner of River and
Greenwood Streets, for the
safety of school children.
The light is one of two in
Wallowa County; the other
marks the school zone in
the City of Wallowa.
Thanks to all the people
who shared my special
“Double 8” birthday.
Lots of excellent food,
conversation, warmth
& love that made for
a wonderful &
very special day.
Special thanks to my
family & to the VFW &
Auxiliary Post #4307 who
brought it all together.
Blessings to all!
