To provide more water
for irrigating Prairie creek
farms, the Associated Ditch
companies are preparing to
blast, dredge and deepen the
channel of the outlet of Wal-
lowa lake nearly four feet
which will add to the avail-
able water now stored in the
lake to a depth of four feet,
and will lower the level of
the lake by that amount.
A course in agriculture
will be instituted by the Wal-
lowa high school this fall.
The salary of the instructor
will be paid half and half by
the district and the federal
government.
William H. Wood died
Thursday at the home of his
son near Lostine. He was 96
years and ten months old,
the oldest person in Wal-
lowa county, and had served
as a volunteer in the Amer-
ican army in the Mexican
war, and had panned gold in
the days of ’49 in California.

Leonard Lozier was given
an honorary membership in
the Wallowa County Jaycees
as a token of appreciation
for his untiring assistance
in the calf shoots during the
past three years at the NRA
rodeo at Enterprise.
Damage, almost beyond
description, was done to
telephone, power and TV
cable lines in the city of
Wallowa in one of the most
fantastic and unlikely inci-
dents seen in many years
when a high and heavy trac-
tor-trailer load of trusses
ripped out most of the
lines on Main street. The
extent of the damage is esti-
mated at many thousands of
dollars.
