Compiled by Cheryl Jenkins
100 YEARS AGO
July 3, 1919
There is a prospect
of a through highway to
Lewiston.
This would make Wal-
lowa County a link in the
route from Spokane and a
large part of Oregon, Idaho,
Utah, and even Califor-
nia, sending much travel
through the county over a
road of great scenic beauty.
Surveyors on the new
state highway through the
valley have fi nished the can-
yon and are now approach-
ing Wallowa.
On July 1 the old postage
rates were restored, and let-
ters may now be mailed for
2 cents and cards for 1 cent.
The increase was a war
measure and was cancelled
as soon as the government
saw its way.
The 4th of July festivities
begin with an automobile
parade through the busi-
ness streets of town. There
will be roast beef, bread and
coffee free, and all the races
and games will be free. The
only charge will be for the
dancing.

Damage to the school was
estimated at almost $2000.
The loss was not covered by
insurance.

farm bureau and Wallowa
grange will be held July 4
