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.

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 got

snowshoes and walked in
to their place, taking sev-
eral hours for the trip. 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.

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.
Each student composed and
memorized a speech enti-
tled, “The United Nations,
Past, Present and Future”,
and it was on this speech as
