WalIoWa County and
It's Many Resources

Wallowa County, one of the scenic
wonders OF the West. Grandeur!
Mystery! Beauty beyond compare!
Yet better than all these, and more
helpful, is the spirit of the Blue
Mountains. Its mountains are
grand as measured by tie rule of
the Mighty Three and it has what
they have not-the harmony of
peace. To the tired eye the gently
rounded forms speak of rest, its qui-
et valleys tell their sweet story to
the weary mind and body. A price
less heretage it is to the hectic peo-
pies of the great cities. And they
are coming in here quite often now
departing singing the praises Of
Wallowa valley and particularly of
this little city of Enterprise; and
may their children's children possess
it unimpaired throughout all time to
come.
Wallowa county, Oregon, is situa-
ted in the N. E. corner of the state,
and is most inviting field for the
homeseeker. 1t is about 100 miles
square and has a population of 10,
600. 1t is new, prosperous and ever
growing is settled mostly by east
ern immigrants who, having grown
tired OF cyclones, billiards., malari,
high rents and other disadvantages
of the over crowded East, have been
attracted to the free homesteads, rich
soil and healthy climate of Wallowa
county. as most desirable place to
live forever. In appearance Wal
Iowa county is rough and uneven
and is divided by nature into noun
tains, hills and valleys. The noun
tains are imposing in their wealth
of scenic beauty and are valuable as
a summer range for stock and theil
mines of precious metals. The hills
are level and undulating and pro
duce abundant crops of wheat, oats
rye and barley, and the famous
bunch grass, on which vast herds o
stock thrive and grow fat, making
easy fortunes for their owners.
The valleys are well irrigated, ricl
and productive, and in addition t
the crops raised in "the hills" pre-
duce immense yields OF clover, time
thy and alfalfa. The county is pal
ticalarly well adapted to fruit rails
ing; garden truck of all kinds d
exceedingly we'll. 1t is we'll watere
by four rivers, numerous streams
and fine springs; it has the heavies
rainfall of any county in the stat
east of the Cascades.
The principle river is Wallowa,
very rapid mountain stream, {
crystal clearness, whose swift fov
ing waters afford immense waite
power, and flows for forty mile
through a valley as rich as the Nil,
turning the wheels of machiner,
irrigating vast acres OF fertile Ian
and finally emptying into tn

Grande Ronde. There are thousands
of acres of Government lands within
the borders of Wallowa valley, yet
subject to homestead. This land is
deep, rich and productive and each
homestead usually contains living
water.
The county embraces every varie-
ty of climate from snow capped
mountains to its warm valleys,
where apples, peaches, apricots and
grapes are almost a never failing
crop.
It's summers are warm with cool
nights; its winters are moderate and
equable.
The resources of the county are as
diversified as its surface. In the
valleys and on the Grande Ronde,
Snake and Imnaha rivers fruits and
vegetation of all kinds abound. In
the valley hogs, grasses, and grain of
all kinds make abundant yields; and
the hills and mountains furnish feed
for thousands of head of sheep, cat
tie and horses.
Lumber and mining industries in
Wallowa county are in their infancy;
but with the advent of the railroad,
these vast resources will receive the
attention they deserve.
Numerous quarries of fine marble,
granite and building stone have
been opened up and only await ship
ping facilities to be fully developed.
Land can yet be bought at very
reasonable prices but the price is
steadily advancing.
| Wages range from $40 per month
on the farm, to Sc per day for skilled
labor. And laboring men are always
in demand.

SALE NOT FAVORED

Unanimous Vote Against
City Property
Sale

The two propositions that have late
~ come before the public regarding the
sale of the fishmarket property to the
Pacific Mail people and the disposition
of the Queen Emma property in Nut
anu valley came up before the civic
Federation at a meeting OF that body
in the Y. NJ. G. A. hall Saturday night
That the object of the meeting was OF
vital interest was manifest by the
fact that there were over forty ,mem-
hers present.
The proposition on both questions
that the territory should dispose of
the two lots of land was voted against
by every member present.
The meeting was presided over Nv
President Grifiiths. who stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting and called on the
investigating committee to make it,
report. Mr.. Hosmer read both reports.
The matter of the hshmarket was the
first taken up. Tine report Of the COM
mittee was exhaustive in tho extreme.
Tut when boiled down set forth the
fact that as the Pacific Mail people had
made application for the purchase of
a very desirable piece of property here
was evidence that they were going to
continue in the business Of ns-Pn-
.cifc trade and that there would be no
fear of losing this line Of steamships
through the refusal of the city TO sell
TO that company the piece Of property
they had made bid for The report
on this proposition ended as follows:
The committee recommends thai
the old Fishmarket site be not sold
end that steps be taken to secure its
definite reservation for public use.
Respectfully submitted.

Several of the members made short
addresses in which they strongly OPP
posed any idea of selling the tishmar.
ket property.
A similar report was submitted by
the same committee on the Queen En-
ma property, and the same unanimous
vote against the disposition Of that
piece of land settled the question as
far as the Civic Federation was con-
Cerned. The meeting adjourned at y
O'Clock.

MAD FARMERS.
A Mail Order House
Gets Ahead of Them.

Tuesday found a lot of angry
farmers in town who claimed they
had been swiudled by a mail order
clothing house now doing business
thru the country. The scheme, as
such reputable citizens as NJ. B.
Rogers, John f. Henry aud others,
told us, is for the mail order man
to drive out to the farmers house
accompanied by some man the
farmer knows aud has confidence
in. After claiming the merchants
are robbing the people, the agent
offers to sell three suits aud a
dress pattern for $3.50, taking q
note for that amount. Upon get
ting the note, the buyer is in.
formed that he will have 10 buy
the lining. which will cost but lit
tie aud that he can buy it of the
man who takes their measure for
the suits or any home merchant.
When the men came in Tuesday 10
be measured they found they must
buy the lining of the mail order
house or not have their goods
made up. Tue cheapest lining
shown them was $3.50 per suit.
little better than calico one Of the
men said to us, and the other
grade, ordinary satteen at $3.50
per suit. To show how the graft
Is worked, we call attention to
Dennis Jennings experience. He
gave his note for 500 so, and
when his package came Tuesday
from Chicago, on the box was
marked G. o. ID. $l9. so for lining.
In other words his three suits and
dress pattern cost him $50. A
merchant in whose store we
saw the lay ont. told us that he
was selling in his store three suits
Of similar quality. only better
made. for S20.25. or 1916 each,
just % cents moro than the mail
order house charged for lining.
Mr.. Henry said that he felt like he
ought to prosecute the outfit, but
saw no way to do it. A number
of other farmers said the same
thing to us. It's too bad, but the
farmers ought to learn to set the
dogs on agents. Wise is the man
who buys il at home; it is cheaper
and better.
