Dave Melville of EHS was one of six boys to be picked for the Greater Ore- gon League Eastern Divi- sion all-star team, accord- ing to basketball coach Dick Quinn. Chevrolet Motor Divi- sion announces Bill Fletcher at Milligan Motors has for the seventh consecutive year been awarded the Hall of Fame plaque for truck sales. 100 YEARS AGO March 13, 1919 “A silo on every farm” is a slogan of government and college authorities, and it has been taken up by the Wal- lowa county farm bureau. More than 20 farmers have defi nitely announced they will build silos this year, and there is every prospect that the number will exceed 50 before harvest. The garage men of the county met last Friday and took preliminary steps toward organizing for their mutual benefi t. They will establish uniform prices and practices, and will start a credit rating service, which will show the standing of every patron. A customer who fails to pay a bill at one garage will get no credit at any other. The streets of town were dragged a little yesterday for the fi rst time this sea- son. Mayor Miller suggested that the streets were drying up very rapidly and would have to be dragged at once if anything were to be done with them. In many places they are too dry already. If dragged promptly after the next rain, they can be made quite smooth. 70 YEARS AGO March 10, 1949 Lyle Shumway became worried about Mr. and Mrs. Tom Fagin, who live a few miles west of the Flora highway, when he observed while carrying the mail, that they had not come to the Flora highway to get their mail for two weeks.

He found the Fagin home bur- ied under nine feet of snow and both ill. Returning to town he got a snow plow and Melvin Varner took his caterpillar out. After work- ing two days they had gone only a mile. Harold Voet- berg came to their assis- tance and the third day they got to the Fagin farm. Lyle Shumway and his son, Bryce, have both been help- ing the old couple since they opened the road and have managed to get enough hay to them to take care of their stock. A fl ight was made from the Enterprise airport with the ski plane to the Minam Horse ranch with groceries and radio batteries. There is still three feet of snow there. Hay was dropped to the elk penned in along the Grande Ronde river. About 50 elk were seen in this area. The Stitch and Chatter club met for an all-day meet- ing, spent in piecing quilts. The club is now divided into groups each working on a quilt. At present seven quilts are being made. 50 YEARS AGO March 13, 1969 High Wallowas, Inc. suf- fered a devastating blow when the bids for the con- struction of the gondola lift from Wallowa lake to the top of Mt. Howard were opened. Two companies submitted bids on the proj- ect and both bids exceeded the budgeted or expected costs by over 100 percent. Mona Kay William- son, a sophomore at JHS, received second honors in a contest held at Pendle- ton. The event was entitled the “United Nations Pil- grimage for Youth” contest.
