DR.. HocKETT "FERNInsr"
ANY RACE SUICIDE

If any one in Wallowa county ap-
pears to be strictly against what
Mr.. Roosevelt has called race suicide
it is DR.. Hockett of this city. Sun
day morning, as previously announc-
ed, he attended a birth between here
and Lostine. On Monday he was out
again, bright and early, and came
back with a smile as large as a slice
of pumpkin and as bright as a July
sun, announcing the birth of twins
to Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Runstatler
over ON the slope. The twins are
boys and the little chaps and the
good. mother are doing nicely, Speal
ing of the increase in the popula-
tion of Wallowa, this Is helping
some.

RECOMMENDS THAT
PRISONERS GET BUSY

In sentencing Henry Wright to
serve a term of 80 days in the coun-
ty jail, Dave Lane 20 days in the
same bastile, and George Wright to
30 days in Jail and a fine of $3.50,
all for "bootlegging," Judge knowles
recommended that the prisoners be
put to work for the county, clean
ing up the rubbish around the new
court house grounds. The judge
called attention to the law permit
ting the county court to work pris-
oners in its custody. The recommen-
dation of Judge Knowles is comment
ed upon and applauded by all who
have heard of it. 1t gives the county
recourse to turn an otherwise dead
loss into something like ramunera-
lion.
The news=record. [volume] (Enterprise, Wallowa County, Oregon) 1907-1910, 1910-05-14

The ladies who thus donated time
and labor so advantageously were
as follows: Misses Katherine Kay,
Elfie Lomach, Cora Berland, Alta
Davis. Lucille Ccrkins, Ethel Weaver,
Anna Richards, Joyce Craig, and Mrs.
Frank Sheets, under the head wait
ress,' Mrs. DR.. Moore. And though
it was the first experience of them
all in such work, not an accident
nor an incident occurred to mar the
clock-like work of this coterie Of
fairies.
Six Course, Dinner.
Host and Hostess Blanchard did
themseles proud in the six-course din
ner. 1t was dainty throughout. There
were no long waits. Everything was
''in hand" from start to finish, and
it was simply fine.
The Speakers.
Attorney Daniel Boyd served as
toastmaster, and acquitted himself
ably, humorously, and with rep
artee rioht off the reel for every
congenial dig" from the tables. At
torney Burleigh, Attorney Trill of
Joseph, w. H. Dilworth and Attor-
ney d. w. Sheahan responded. to
toasts. with numerous speakers call
ed upon to lend wisdom and bright
ness to the occasion. Among the lat
ter were Judge Crawford Of La
Grande, Judge Knowles of the same
city, Tom Richardson of Portland,
and F. A. Clarke of six miles this
side of Joseph Mr.. Clarke has
an inimitable style that ingratiates
his words into the minds of every
body and. makes him a host Of
| friends.
| The banquet was completed about
2 o'clock, and those present reluct-
antly bade their guest, Tom Richard
son, adieu, first giving him three
cheers and a "tiger." The latter
received the hearty compliment with
pleasure and deep feeling, and the
80 persons repr esenting the 80 COW
ers at the banquet board, filed off
to their homes with new spirit
awakened in them and new deter
mination to labor for Wallowa
county.

It would be hard to say too much
OF the banquet at the Hotel Enter
prise, where Host Blanchard did him
self proud and not only pleased but
delighted everybody present. An
other decidedly splendid feature OF
the banquet was the presence Of
nine members of the Improvement
League, under the direction of Mrs.
DR.. Moore, as Mattresses. The Ia
nine dollars-for the league, to be
given to the cemetery Improvement
fund. They devoted their services
TO that end, with that intention.
But ON explanation of the situation
by ToastmaSter Daniel Boyd, the
banqueters "warmef' to the idea,
and tipped the ladies' to the addi-
tional sum Of $1,000. making a to-.
tai OF $4,000 for the cemetery i'm
provement fund.
This work OF the temporary wait
resses was the crowning glory Of
the whole event. 1t illustrated pre-
cisely what Mr.. Richardson had said,
that the ladies as helpers of the bus
mess men. are simply invaluable
and indispensable. It illustrated
what the ladie 8 can do In becoming
an auxiliary force to the local Com
mercial club.

the court room last Saturday in
regular meeting. The subject
under discussion was the offer
ing of a prize to boys for the best
corn raised in Meade county.
The discussion of the advisable
ity of offerieg such prize led to
the delivering of several interest
ing talks by different old timers
who had many years of exper-
fence in farming in this county.
Mr.. Brannon told of difficulties
and obstacles overcome as fall
ures met and survived. r. Buis,
r. w. Campbell, President
Holderman and Mr.. Denslow
also contributed to the interest
of the discussion. 1t was finally
decided to offer prize, and the
particulars will be found IN
another column in the secretar-
les report.
