PLAN !. NJ. c. A.
FOR PENDLETON
STATE ORGANIZATION
SAYS THIS CITY Is NEXT
Work Has Been Growing Rapidly In
the NOrthwest-All Realize That
Need Here Is Great-Many Leading
Professional and Business Men Sig
nifty Their Willingness TO Help.

If present plans of the Oregon Y. NJ
c. A. are executed, Pendleton will be
the next city in the northwest to have
an elegant Y. NJ. c. A. building. The
lassociation recognizes Pendleton as
the largest and most favorable city
now unoccupied by building in the
northwest and it looks favorably up
on the idea Of starting a building cam
paign here next fall.
For a number of years the associa-
tion has had Pendleton in view and
recently Secretary Alvin II. Rhodes OF
the state association, has written Rev.
w. L. Nuys of the Presbyterian church
in this city that it looks extremely
promising for Pendleton in the near
future.
Walla Walla has just completed
and is now occupying a $4,000 Y. NJ.
c. a. building. North Yakima has
just completed a fine building cost
ing about $4,000 and Pendleton is
the next largest northwest town to
receive attention from this progress
sive and aggressive organization.
A number of the leading business
and professional men of the city have
expressed a willingness TO assist in
the work of bringing a fine Y. NJ C.
A. building to Pendleton and If the
campaign is started during the next
few months, this city will be enjoying
a building costing anywhere from
$50, 900 to $4,000 by this time next
year, it is thought
With the fine city hall which will
be complete by that time and with
the federal building well under way,
the addition of the Y. NJ. c. A. build
ing promises to stimulate building ac-
tivity of the city greatly.

CONDITIONS PROSPERITY GENERAL
difficulties Of transportation.

difficulties of transportation.
Probably no county in the state Is
more generally prosperous or contains
more intelligent, progressive and
contented people than that, but it Is
of course sparsely settled because OF
the lack of transportation facilities
When this difficulty is cured, great
numbers of people will establish
homes in the county and develop the
great natural resources.
Building Stone Abundant.
There is an abundance of granite
suitable for building purposes, and
quaries of marble, as well as gold and
copper mines, all wait the incoming
of the railroad for development. The
towns of Wallowa, Enterprise and
Joseph, all on the line of the railroad,
will become centers of industry and
population of Importance to the state.
Wallowa lake is one of the most
beautiful spots in Oregon, situated in
a depression in the mountains, pos
sibly in crater, about a mile wide
ana 1our ana half miles long, filled
with water from the melting SHOWS
upon the mountains towering above
it, Not many years hence its shores
will surely be crowded with hotels
and summer cottages and 1t will be one
OF the play grounds of the state. The
lake itself is about 5400 feet above
sea level and Immediately above it
tower the Eagle creek or Powder
river mountains, perpetually covered
with snow. The result is a charming
combination Of water and mountain
scenery which. together with the nat
ural attractiveness of the upper
Wallowa valley, make a region which
possesses every attraction for a sum-
mer home.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-07-07

Judge Stephen A. Lowell and wife
returned this morning from Wallowa
lake where Mr.. Lowell delivered the
Fourth of July address.
They report a very successful occa-
sion, the three days celebration hav-
ing attracted large crowds of people
about the lake for few days outing
before the beginning of harvest, the
crowd being estimated at from $500
to 1000. The exercises closed with re-
ligious services on Sunday at the
camp at the head of the lake.
Mr.. Lowell states that the railroad
from Elgin to Joseph is substantially
graded and that the trains will be
running to Wallowa City early in the
fall, and probably will reach Joseph,
the terminus of the road by the first
of the year.
Long Dream Coming True.
If such shall prove true the long
years of waiting on the part of the
people of that county will be reward
ed. 1t is a region of great fertility,
with an abundance of water for irri-
eating purposes, and vast areas Of
wheat land not yet touched by the
plow. The conditions are ideal fol
dalrying and the raising of livestock
of every character, and Wallowa
county will probably contribute full
measure of the cattle, hogs and sheep
to be utilized by the great packing
houses now being constructed in
Portland. With the incoming of the
railroad the era of small farms will
be opened, because thereby the pro-
ductions can reach market, and men
will be encouraged to cultivate and
produce great many things which
are not now profitable because OF the
