"a raving maniac.
All the time she talked OF her daugh-
ter's arrangement. and this topic was
her one thought. She had TO be guard

Advertisers Are Public BenefactOrS.

Tom Richardson paid splendid tribute
to the newspapers in his address re-
Gently at Eugene. He declared them
to be the greatest factors in the up
building of community, and asserted
that it had been proven in Portland
and elsewhere that newspapers were
the most effective Of all advertising
mediums. Thus it is that the 'busines 6
man who advertises not only helps
himself, but is public ben efactor in
that he also contributes to the making

advance in every way the material in

booster, for as Mr.. Richardson said,
the newspaper should be the reliable g
and complete directory of the com

SELLS RANCH AND
SHEEP FOR $4,000
Sam Litch and c. P. Ragsdale Con
clude Biggest Deal Ever Made in
Wallowa County.

What is probably the largest single
deal ever made in this county was
completed Monday in the office of
Daniel Boyd, of the Wallowa Law, Land
& Abstract Co., when County Com
missioner Sam Litch of Alder Slope
sold his Trout creek stock ranch of 2l45
acres, $500 ewes and lambs, % head of
horses, head of mules and or hun.
dred tons of hay to G. p. Ragsdale, the
Sherman county capitalist who recently
removed to this county. While the
exact figures have not been given out,
it is said the total price is close to s47,
600. The price paid for ewes was s5
and lambs So. =
The Trout creek ranch Is considered
one Of the best large stock ranches in
the county. 1t lies along Trout creek
just north of Enterprise. There is All
abundance Of living water on the place
and large part of the tract consists
of good wheat land. The general
comment of those who are acquainted
with the property il that MIR. Ragsdale
has secured splendid place that will
be worth in short time considerable
more than he paid for it. There Is a
good house, barn and other improve
ments, and it includes Mr.. Litch's own
homestead claim. This 10 Mr.. Ragsdale's g
second large investment in Wallowa
county land, he having bought the
Caviness ranch on Prairie Creek few
months ago for $4,000. His head
foreman, Mr.. Donnelly, will reside
there, but Mr.. Ragsdale and family
will reside on the Trout creek property.
They are already moving into their new
home and express themselves pleased
with it. The personal property Is being
delivered this week, and as he brought
in with him 1000 sheep it will be seen
he has quite a sizable band Of the woolly
money makers.
Mr.. Litch is going to retire for tim {
from active business, though his prop
erty interests are still very large
