SEVEN FROM NEBRASKA;
ONE FROM WALLOWA, NOW

Seven cars of Nebraska, cornfed
hogs went through La Grande Thurs
day on the way to Portland market,
and were joined at La Grande by a
car of alfalfa and wheat fed pork
ers from Enterprise. In a year or
two, when this great Wallowa county
gets properly opened up and settled
up we hope to see the proportion
reversed and seven cars of Wallowa
hogs shipped to Portland to one from
Nebraska. Wallowa is now the lead
ing county in the state in raising
pork and the industry is only fairly
started. The conditions here are
ideal for the business.

CHOSEN TO REPRESENT CITY
AND COUNTY IN GOLDEN

won the contest for Wallowa Queen
at the Portland Rose Festival, and
will be the reigning deity of the
beautiful float emblematic of the
resources of Wallowa county in the
grand Spirit of the Golden West

that splendid pageant, and no float
will be emblematic of fairer land.
Miss Browning is daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. L. Browning of this city.
She is highly gifted in music and
contributes freely and willingly to
every important occasion by her
songs. She has a cultivated voice of
surprising sweetness.
Miss Browning will also go to Sc
attic and attend the worlds fair as
a guest of the Enterprise CONNER
cial club, all her expenses for both
trips being paid.
The contest developed considerable
interest the closing day owing to the
close race between Misses Browning
and Craig, the former winning by
the narrow margin of 50 votes when
the polls closed at o'clock Tuesday
night The final count stands as
follows: Edna Browning S07, Joyce
Craig 73S, Eula Forsythe 1859, Maude
Litch 100, Ethel Weaver So.
The contest was quite successful
from a financial standpoint, about
the same amount being realized as
from the contest in La Grande. Ey-
cry vote polled was bought by En-
terprise people, none of the other
towns being willing to put up cent

tisement no one who has investigat-
ed the matter doubts for a moment.
The float will be a magnificent af-
fair. NJ. Berry, formerly of La
Grande and wei known in this coun-
ty, under date Of Nay 20, voluntar-
lily wrote from Portland to President
Miller as follows:
Dear Sir:-I was requested by
the president of the La Grande Com
mercial club TO inspect the float
made for them to be used in the
parade at the coming festival here,
and we noted with much pride the
one also designed for our sister coun-
ty, and bespeak for Wallowa coun-
ty much favorable comment and ad-
vertisement resulting from their
laudable enterprise in such dis
play"

DARLINGTON SLAYER

1t is believed that Joe Slycourt, who
arrested on December 6. at his for
mer home in Grinnell. Iowa. for the muir
der of Frank Batesole, is the same man
who was at n time a porter in the I'm
perial hotel at Belfield.
It will be remembered that Batesole, a
highly respected farmer. and Slycourt.
were engaged in helping a farmer in
moving a building. A dispute ensued,
in which .Slycourt struck Bateso]e over
the head with a crowbar, dealing a fatal
blow. For a time the victim fingered
between life,and death, during which
Slycourt fled. Every effort to locate Sly
court proved fruitless. The most
prominent people of Darlington interested
themselves in the case and at last Sly
court was located at his old home al
Grinnell.

tate, leaving no children or descend
ants of children, his personal property
(Which his wife may have helped to
accumulate) is divided between his
wife and his relatives. except that in
cases where the personal property does
not exceed in value 81. 600. the wife is

SATURDAY DEC. It'll
the CLIMAX is PLAYED

Of vital importance to Edward Locke's
unusual play, THE >Climax" is the
incidental music which really is the
canvas upon which the striking picture
has been painted. Joseph Carl Brei],
the composer, has contributed to the
musical world one number which will
surely rank with the best efforts Of the
classical composers of Europe. 1t is
THE Song OF A Soul.
The Song Of A Soul. in THE
Climax" comes as an inspiration to
Pietro Golfanti. a young Italian COM
poser, and it surely must have come as
an inspiration to MI. Breil. Not since
the days of THE Last Rose Of Summer
and Home, Sweet Home" has there
been a song which is going to live and
is going to have such a strong hold in
the minds of the public al this delight
full melody which runs through The
Climax.
Joseph Carl Breil was practically un-
known in the musical armament until
this composition. He had been and
still is organist in the fashionable Fifth
Avenue Church. Here, his few efforts
as q composer took the form of hymns.
Edward Locke, who wrote The
Climax knew Breil we'll and being
one of the opinion that the young organ
list had a great future before him, in
sisted that Mr.. Joseph Weber. who
stands sponsor for THE Climax.
secure him to do the music which is so
important to the success of the piece.
So we'll was this commission carried into
effect. that Mr.. Breil has been ap-
preached by several prominent managers
with fiattering offers for his works.
The only one of these which so far
has been considered is from Mr.. Joseph
Weber. This will take the form of a
standard opera founded upon THE
Song Of A Soul which brought him
into fame.
