100 YEARS AGO
June 5, 1919
A marked reduction in
the toll rate charged by
the mutual telephone com-
panies centering at Flora
was put into effect. The
new toll rate is 5 cents for
calls within a quarter of a
mile of the Flora central.
A war tax of 10 cents is
charged on calls amount-
ing to more than 50 cents,
but the tax is only 5 cents
on calls under that. New
rates to farms beyond Flora
will vary according to the
distance.
Sidewalks in the busi-
ness district of Enterprise
will be made a uniform
width of 15 feet, accord-
ing to the city council
decision.
In the Circuit court
room of the court house
now hangs the honor fl ag
given to Wallowa county
last night as a tribute to its
perfect record in war bonds
performance.
The fl ag has as its center
a great blue V in a fi eld of
white, bordered by red, typ-
ifying the Victory loan. Ore-
gon’s record in Liberty bonds
was so remarkable that every
county is to receive this
recognition.
