Breathlessly she FASTENED to the

outside the door.
No answer.
"Artie!" she repeated, with one hand
over her heart
An inarticulate "Humph?" came to

HOUSE N ORDER
FOR HARD TIMES
WallOwa County Out Of Debt, Low Tax
Rate Assured and Great
Natural Riches.

A splendid showing for Wallowa
county's financial condition was made
in the semi-annual statements of the
county officers published in last weeks
News Record. The county entirely ont
OF debt, unpaid current taxes due $22,-
OIL, and $5752 cash OF hand. No
county in the state of Oregon can beat
that. If hard times should come the
citizens of no county will feel them
less. With abounding natural riches,
no interest on county debt to pay and,
ii necessary, almost no county tax levy,
the people of this favored section would
certainly be "strictly in it."
This happy condition was not always
thusly, One year ago there were over
$4,000 worth of outstanding warrants
unpaid with $500 interest due on
them. The years back of that were all
OF the same character, some worse,
some better, but all showing liabilities
In excess of resources of from $4,000
up. Thousands of dollars of interest
were paid by the tax payers them not a
cent now. The county court has re-
ceived lots of condemnation because it
made a large tax levy and stopped the
interest payments, but probably every
one in the county today is proud of the
splendid financial showing revealed by
the semi-annual statements.

INTEREST IN PLANS
OF ELECTRIC ROAD
WallOwa County May Be Included Iu
Washington { Oregon Traction
Company Route.

Much interest is manifested i'm
Enterprise in the Washington and
Oregon Traction company of Walla
Walla, recently incorporated to build
electric railroads into the undeveloped
wheat regions east and south OF that
city. 1t is reputed to be solid affair
with plenty of money back of it.
Among the published plans of its in.
tentions is one to build up Mill creek,
tunnel through the Blue Mountains
to the head OF Little Salmon, down
that stream to the Graude Ronde, up
that river to the mouth OF Courtney
rceek, thence into the interior of Wal
Iowa county. Such road would go
through large fertile territory west
of the mountains, the Eden and
Grouse countries and reach the largest
and best timber tract in Eastern
Oregon. Back of the new traction
company is supposed to be the North
Coast road and the latter is child of
the G. M. g. st p, which is building
to the Coast.
There is strong feeling in Enter
prise that the Walla Walla road
should be met half way. There is
enough money in this county to build
an electric line up Trout and Davis
reeks and down Courtney canyon to
the Grande Ronde. Engineer, r. /
Long, late of the o. r. & N, believes
the route feasible one, and a few
hundred dollars will demonstrate IT,
The 0. r. & N. may not complete it;
road for years, and in the meantime
the farmers OF this county will lose the
cost of a road several times in lowe
prices for products. Many of the o. r
& n. right of way deeds in the valley
and canyon became voidable II TIN
road is not completed by March l
1908, and the way will be clear for
valley electric road also.
Many Of the leading men of the val
ley are very much in earnest about
road to the Little Salmon and OH t,
Walla Nalla. One wealthy farmer
says he will take $4,000 worth of stock
and $4,000 more if needed. Walli

Show Rich Ore.

H. n. Williams, ID. Moore, Jesse and
Tom Walker passed through Enter
prise Tuesday on their way home from
doing assessment work on their claims
in the Lick Creek mining district.
They had lot OF rich ore that proves
they surely have good claims. Mr..
Williams says that the rich streak in
the pay ledge of the Magnet mine is
now II inches wide and widens the
deeper they go. The Walkers did
assessment work on the Last Chance.
A mine named the Greenhorn was
located in the same district for G. w,
Williams.

Jealousy Cause
OF Mans Murder

Millard Donnelly, aged about %
years, son of Mrs. j. M. l. onnelly of
Joseph, was stabbed in the neck bv
fellow miner named West at Cornu-
copia, Monday morning about o'clock,
and died in few minutes. Both men
worked on the night shift and were re-
turning to the shaft from the mid
night meal. A quarrel arose over a
girl, who favored the attentions of DON
nelly, and West whipped out the knife
and stabbed his companion.
West is an older man than was DON
nelly. He is now in Jail at Baker City,
charged with murder. Millard's broth
er, Alex Donnelly of Joseph, was at
Baker City on business and left for Corn
ucopia early Monday morning in COM
pany with the sheriff and coroner. He
telep phoned the cad news to the boys
home in Joseph and brother-in-l
j. w. Rankin, started with team for
| Elgin to meet the remains which will
probably be shipped from Union.
'Millard was young man well
thought of in his home town of Joseph
and general sorrow is felt at the tragedy
and deepest sympathy expressed for his
widowed mother and other relatives
Cornucopia is a mining town in Baker
county directly south across the noun
tains from Joseph.
