Wagner lands 28-inch rainbow trout
OUT OF THE PAST
Compiled by Cheryl Jenkins
100 YEARS AGO
May 25, 1922
J. R. Wagner landed a
real trout while fi shing in
Wallowa river near Minam.
Experts called it a true rain-
bow. It measured 28 inches
in length and weight 5-1/4
pounds.
Bishop L. H. Wells of
the Episcopal church came
from Tacoma to confi rm 17
new members of the church.
Bishop Wells is a real pioneer
of eastern Oregon. He made
his fi rst trip to Union county
in 1871 and was in Wallowa
valley before Enterprise was
started.
The fi rst street dance in
Enterprise was held after
down town business men
gave the streets a clean-
ing which made them fairly
shine, in preparation for the
stockmen’s convention. The
result, with the bright colors
of the banners strung across
the streets, was to make the
town look more animated
than ever before in its history.
75 YEARS AGO
May 29, 1947
Heavy equipment was
moved in yesterday to start
construction on the fi nal .88
mile of road which will com-
plete the Enterprise-Lewis-
ton highway.

Slope school district No. 2,
Lee Cook, Vernon Hays and
Oscar Shafer, went to Walla
Walla to purchase a school
bus to be used in transport-
ing their grade pupils to the
Enterprise school this com-
ing year.
The Bartlett neighbor-
hood had two fi res last week
when the houses of Ira Wil-
son and Floyd Wilbur
burned. The Wilbur house
burned down on Thurs-
day evening and the Wilson
house on Saturday afternoon.
50 YEARS AGO
May 25, 1972
The 4-H Duke and Duch-
ess were chosen during the
horse judging at the county
fairgrounds last week. Burke
Lathrop was chosen Duke
and Jackie Nash, was picked
for Duchess.
Randy Strohm of Enter-
prise was one of three high
school football players in the
state of Oregon who’ll attend
the Dave Wilcox Football
Camp in McMinnville this
summer, compliments of the
Pacifi c Power & Light Co.
Wallowa’s Bobb Lewis
claimed the State Class A
shot put title last weekend
by unleashing a 52’3” toss to
win the event.
Nine competitors from
Wallowa County brought
home eight medals when
they competed in the State
Special Ed Track Meet
in Eugene. Steve Ingram
claimed the only gold medal
for the local youngsters by
winning the boys 16-18 year
old high jump with a 5’1”
