SEES 4 GREAT FUTURE
FOR WALLoWA COUNTY

J.F. Mccoy. the well known ranch
er from the Imnaha district, Is prop
erly enthusiastic over the bright out
,ook for that district and the en-
lire county. MIR. Mccoy in conver-
sadon gave some idea of the pro-
ducblvity of the Imnaha soil, In stat
ing that the time is near at hand
when the larger ranches will be di-
9ided into smaller tracts, and that
numerous families will be industrious
ly making good hvings off a few
acres where now but one or two fam
lies find living. The dividing up
of large ranches. he agrees, means
the more rapid development and the
ncreased production OF the county.
In his district there all fruits and
vegetables are raised to perfection,
and land can be bought for reason
able prices, depending upon loca-
tion and improvements.

Almost Any Sort
OF Climate Here
The Settler Can Select His Altitude
and Climate To Suit His
Taste.

One thing about Walbowa county
which attracts attention, is its varied
climate. The eastern person. per-
haps, cannot understand readily why
1t is tina, on can get almost any sort
of climate hire, within the confines
OF Wallowa county, that is desired.
The reason for it is the wide varia-
ton in altitude.
In altitude, the different portions
of the county vary from a few hun
dred feet above sea level to some
1.2O0 feet on top of "Old Eagle Cap
the highest point in Oregon.
In and around Enterprise the aiti-
tude varies from 1900 to 1000 feet.
1t is still lower at Lostine and low
er than Lostine at Wallowa. over
on the Imnaha in the valleys the
finest peach land In the world can
be found. whereas in many other
portions of the same county peach
es can not be grown at all, OWN g
to the late frosts.
Again, in certain portions of the
northern part of the county corn
can be grown, and is grown every
year; whereas In other sections in
the north end of the county corn
can not be grown at all.
This appeals to the easterner as
! Impossible, because his home coun-
ty back there presents the same lev
Ell, the same altitude, and the same
vegetation, all over 1T. The east
erner has only to take drive from
Enterprise TO Imnaha, however, to
be convinced of the difference be-
tween here and back east. Such a
visitor, many times, will see per
haps half dozen zones" of differ
ent vegetafio' In half days drive,
these so-c2lled zones being deter
mined exclusively by the altitude.
Thus 1t is, one rancher can grow
tomatoes, whereas another rancher
within maybe a mile of him cannot
grow tomatoes at all.
There never was a county so var
led in climate and In vegetation as
this. II the settler wishes Can
mia climate, he can find 1t in some
Of the lower valleys. II he desires a
colder climate, all he has to do Is
move up into little higher altitude.
when he gets it. If he wants wheat
land, he can find Vt. If hay land,
apple soil, peach altitude, strawber-
ry zones, cucumber and tomato alti-
tudes-or almost any other climate
and season-he can find them in
the single county of Wallowa.

Splendid, Isn't II
The profuseness with which the

Carlyle once looked at the human
world, in that sorrowing. pessimdstic
vein of his, and then informed us
that we were mostly fools" This
paper does not believe Carlyle at all
in this particular. 1t believes how
ever, that when we patronize mail
order houses we are vastly mex
perenced in the real duties of citi-
zenship and in the ways of mail or
der houses in general.
The only slogan worthy the life
of Wallowa county patriot is this:
"PatroniGe your Wallowa county in
stitutions!" The Wallowa county pa
triot doing this will be better served
at all times, will get something worth
his hard earned money, and will be
a strong factor in building up his
community. Sending money off to
the mail order house impovershes

much foreign advertising, in order
that it can serve its home people.

page of foreign advertising was re-

flicted with home merchants. The
paper does this as a paying bust
ness proposition, and makes more
money by doing it than by un-
'ermining the home people on
whose welfare 1t must depend for
support. "Patronize your Wallowa

OVER TWENTY-FIVE
NEW HoMESTEADERS

Census Taker Clarke has been
happily surprised at the number OF
new homesteaders that have appear
cd in this precinct within the past
year. 1t is roughly estimated that
over % homesteaders have within, a
twelfth month settled upon lands in
this one precinct alone. This, TAX
en- in conjunction with the settle
ment of other precincts, will give a
rough idea of the incoming Of resi-
dents. Moreover, every train brings
further homeseekers, and the number
increases, apparently, as the season
advances. Getting into the band

Here's a Man Who
Actually Does 1t.
r.. E. Heskett Of Near Wallowa
Raises Fall Whent
Every Year.

Although of very brief residence
in Wallowa county, the acting edi-
tor of the Enterprise Press has
been under the impression that fall
wheat could be grown annually,
without waiting for the Intervening
year of summer following to pass.
1t appeared that some one o2ght 10
be found who had demonstrated,
that wheat could be grown on the
hill lands, annually. And Friday it
was the fortune to meet with Mr..
R. E. Heskett of near Wallowa who
actually does that very thing. In
an interview wi In Mr.. Heskett, who
is one of our most prosperous ran
chers, that gentleman was asked:
How does it come that the farm
ers can not raise fallwheat annually,
on the hill lands?"
Il don't know what others do"
he replied, but I'm doing that very
thing, every year"
That settled the whole matter
.dr. Heskett not only raises wheat
every year, but raises fall wheat and
makes a success of it. This is
source of qualification to us, not
merely because it bears out a pre-
conceived theory of ours, but be-
cause it means SO vastly much for
this county. Since meeting with
Mr.. Heskest, We are informed that
any number of ranchers in various
parts of he county are raising
fall wheat annually. The eastern
prospective land buyer, who wants
to raise wheat on the best hard
wheat land on earth, and in the
best hard wheat Climate ia the world
will be interested in hearing that
Wallowa county hill lands receive
sufficient rainfall, as general
thing, to raise bumper crop of
wheat yearly. There are years here.
just as there are years in the Illinois
corn belt, when the crop varies from
the preceding or the succeeding
crop; but generally speaking the hill
land, without irrigation, can produce
winter wheat without summer fallow-
ing. This means just twice as
much whva', # it is followed by ey-
cry wheat grower, and twice as
much prosperity and twice as much

IMPROVEMENT LEAGUES
CEMETERY PROJECT.

The Improvement league appoint
ed a committee to wait upon Mt.
Wagner respecting the purchase of
the cemetry. The committee called
upon Mr.. Wagner TO ascertain on
what terms the cemetery could be
purchased. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Wagner viii gladly sell the prop
erty. This is a commendable move
Oh the part of the ladies, and will
doubtless receive the applause of all
Enterprise. With the cemetery the
property of such a public institution,
water can be put upon it at small
cost TO each individual, and can be
SO maintained.
