N. Middlebrook, present proprietors
Of the hotel, was united in mar
riage to Mr.. Fred C. Larson, recent
~ of Spokane. Just before 8 o'clock
Miss Lavera Middlebrook sang WED
ding Bells" the accompaniment be-
ing played byrMiss Lake Fleener, and
10 the strains OF q wedding march.
The couple entered the parlor, where
in the presence Of relatives and a few
invited guests Rev. A. l.. Howarth,
pastor of the First Methodist church,
pronounced the ceremony. The at
tend ants were Mr.. and Mrs. Kilgore
of Joseph; Miss LaVera Middle

salary at Enterprise would be $500
instead of $1400 year-an increase
os 500 annually. This increase is
a reason for just pride on the part
of everybody here, in that 1t is based
on the increase in the Enterprise
mail. The mail volume, it may be
safe to say, has increased fully 20
per cent within the past year. All
Mr.. Weathers' friends will rejoice
with him both in the increase of sal
ary and over the fact that we are
growing so rapidly into a city.
Joseph secured an increase this
year also, making the postmasters
salary there from now on $140O in
stead of $1,000 a year. Wallowa also
secured an increase of $100, making
the salary of that office $500 In
stead of 1920

U. b. Phillips, recently engaged up
on the former Watson place on AL

dent last Sunday, in which he sus-
tanned a bad fracture of the bone
OF the left leg below the knee. DR..
Ault was called to attend him, and
although the patient is doing as we'll
IS could be expected the fracture
is both painful and a serious one.
Mr.. Phillips and his SON were driv-

Ing to the report of the accident,
when the horses took fright near
The William Maxim place below the
railroad. the frightened animals ran
and collided with vehicle in which
we're Mrs. Daisley and some friends.
Mr.. Phillips and his son were thrown
from the vehicle, and In the rapid
nix-up Mr.. Phillips leg probably
csught in a wheel. The lone was
broken Immediately below the knee,
lnflicting dangerous injury. He
was taken In an automobile, and
brought to Enterprise where medi-

|43 CARS WALLOWA
| COUNTY SHEEP
TWO BIG TRAiNLOADS SOLD BY
LOCAL MEN TO MONTANA
BUYERS.

Yesterday began the shipment of
forty-three cars of Wallowa county
sheep. Two hundred sheep to the
deck and each car a doubledeck ag-
gregates 18,40O head of sheep in the
two trainloads. 1t is estimated that
400 sheep to- the car went out, but it
is hardly likely that the number for
the entire two-trainloads would aver
age that. At o. conservative estimate
however, the number must have been
'at least 10000 head.
The shipments went to wyoming,
10 a ranch point just west of Chey-
lenne where they will be put on the
range. Irving Dill and Walter Sheets
accompanied the first trainload, in
the employ OF the Montana CAPT
tai which made the purchase. Ivan
jackson accompanied the second
trainload. Those from Enterprise
who, among others outside sold
she p were Litch and Funk, Dobbin,
Falconer. Graves and RcCsde,e.
The Montana capital purchasing
this lot of sheep, according to re-
port, has purchased in the past nine
months 100000 head the Wallowa
county bunch completing that num-
Der. Eight thousand head were trail
ed out of here, making, at a conser-
vative estimate $4,000 head Of Wal
iowa county sheep that changed
hands Thursday and Friday. The
two trainloads from here were ship
ped to Rock River, Wyoming. 1t is
Believed that they will be trailed
from there into Montana, when range
in that state has been secured for
the total bunch.

Description Of
Land Released
2o3,635 Acres Thrown Open From
Former Wallowa National
Forest.

The president has signed procla-
nation eliminating 20S,635 acres from
the National Forest, Oregon. The
elimination is the result of a careful
examination made by the U. 8. De-
partment of Agriculture during the
past summer, which disclosed the
fact that the areas now eliminated
were either open grass land with
verv little timber or timbered areas
so largely lienated that farther
administration by the Forest Ser
vice was considered imprccticable.
The lands released ere not needed
for watershed protection, and are
not considered to be chiefly valuable
for National Forest purposes.
The principal e,iminations occur
in T. and 2 s., R. AZ E., T. and
|2 NJ, R. 45, 46, AZ and 48 E., T. 3
NJ, R. AZ E., T. N, R. AZ and 43
E., T. and 6 NJ, R. 46 E., and T.
s NJ, r. AZ e. In addition, strip
from one-half to three miles wide Is
eliminated along the southern bound
airy of the Forest, in R. AZ to AZ q.
Section 6 and the west half of Sec
tion 5, T. N, R. AZ E., is trans
ferred from the Wallowa to the We
naha Forest, the Grea haing been
isolated from the Wallowa by the
large eliminations.
The unappropriated portions of the
areas eliminated by this proclama-
tion will be restored to settlement
and entry after having been adver-
tised in the local papers by the Sec
retary of the interior.

TOMORROW is THE
HEAP BIG Time
ELGlN COMING WITH AN EXCUR-
SION AND A BRASS BAND
FOR KEEPS.

Tomorrow will be the most inter-
esting and exciting game of ball
played here or in the league thus
far during the season. Elgin meets
Enterprise for keeps. Elgin now is
the top-notcher and Enterprise is
the close second in the standing of
the clubs. To keep Elgin from too
strong a lead, Enterprise will battle
to finish to defeat the top-notch-
ers tomorrow.
Band Is Coming.
Elgin never does anything by
halves. She goes in full tilt and
stays there until she makes a stir at
east. 1t will be so tomorrow, when
she will come down with an excur-
sion headed by brass band and fol
lowed by as husky lot of fans as
ever came over the pike. They, are
, the right sort of fans, too-orderly
gentlemanly, bringing their wives,
mothers and sisters with them for
a season of legitimate pastime where
ribaldry is not heard and is moi
tolerated.
But Enterprise will not be a whit
behind her friendly rival. Practic-
ally everybody here and around here
will be at the game to welcome Ell
gin, and to hope for the victory of
Enterprise over Eigin in the game
Enterprise stoutly maintains thai
she will make Elgin play the ball
Of her life and take defeat. Elgin
just as stoutly says that she will do
the same thing to Enterprise. And
whoop! That's the way the "furse'
began.
The game will be called at
o'clock sharp. No disorderly conduc
will be tolerated by Manager Bill
yeu,. and none is at all anticipated
rhe ladies of Elgin and Enterprise
and the surrounding country will
be able to witness a splendid game
without hearing a disorderly sound

"Why, I'm Chatworth-rm Crew

To see him stand there, announced
in that name, gave the tragic farce
it's last touch. Flora had an instant
of panic when flight seemed the solu'

her there, facing him, watching, as If

looked at Flora. "And make all
those explanations necessitated by
this lady,s wonderful sense of honor"
1t was here, somewhere in the
neighborhood of this sentence OF
doubtful meaning, that Mrs. Herrick
left them. In looking back, Flora
could never recall the exact moment
of the departure. But when she raised
her eyes from the grass where they
had been fixed for what seemed to
her eternity she found only Kerr

"Then If you didn't" he burst out,

turning and seeing her, without any
circumvention, with one sweep of his
long arm. he included the statue in
his grasp of her. With a laugh of
triumph he drew her out of her con-

To her the splendor of skies and
trees and morning light melted into
that wonderful moment. For the
first time in weary days she had all
to give. nothing to fear or withhold.
She was at peace. She was ready to
stop, to stand here in her life for

was impatient. He did not want to

said, "but in spite of his doing this
