Wow! I lived in Jordan Valley Oregon while I was in high school and I don't know this much stuff about it. I certainly never thought anyone would take the time put this little town in an encyclopedia.

[edit] Police chief's speed trap

Is there any information about the police chief who didn't draw a salary but instead got his income from speeding tickets from passing motorists? IIRC, the speed limit on US 95 dropped dramatically from 55 mph to 25 mph and he would nail anyone who failed to see the new speed limit and react in time. Since most motorists passing through town were on their way from Idaho to Nevada (or vice versa), there wasn't much chance they'd come back and fight the ticket. 66.234.220.195 (talk) 15:51, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
