SEES 4 GREAT FUTURE
FOR WALLoWA COUNTY

]. F. Mccoy, the well known ranch
er from the Imnaha district, is prop
erly enthusiastic over the bright out
look tor that district and the en-
tire county. Mr.. Mccoy i'm conver-
satdon gave some idea OF the pro-
ductivity of the Imnaha SOIL I'm stat
Ing that the time is near at hand
when the larger ranches will be di-
vided into smaller tracts, and that
families will be industrious
ly making good dvings off few
acres where now but one or two fam
lilies find a living. The dividing up
of large ranches. he agrees, means
the more rapid development and the
increased 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.

COUNTY BUSINESSES

The Old plea.

y The mail order house makes the
profuse claim that you can get
Your money back on demand, If
You are not satisfied with the goods.
Try it, sometime. When reading
the mail order catalogue, you are
led to believe that the mail order
house is a wonderful elemosenary in
stitution of some sort, fairly palpi-
Eating with the joy of handing your
money back ON demand. But it
Isn't. Yo will have to write and
squabble, and you will i'm most cas-
es get a substitute in some other
CHEAP" stuff as. an amiable 'Tset-
tlement" of the CONTROVERSY. Then
there follows more writing, more
squabble, more nagging, and once
in awhile, perhaps, here comes what
y left OF your original payment, af-
ter the generous mail order house
has deducted payment for post
age expended, express charges, etc.
Splendid, Isn't II.
The profuseness with which the
mail order house returns money on
demand is splendid business
transaction-no? It shows Just
now the mail order house Is inter
ested in your welfare-yes? 1T puts
In bold relief just what the mail or
der house wants out of you,
indeed!
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
eyer, that when we patronize mail
order houses we are vastly mex
perdenced in the real duties of cfti-
zenship and i'm the ways of mail or
der houses in general.
The only slogan worthy the mfe
OF Wallowa county patriot is this:
"Patronise your Wallowa county in
stitutions!" The Wallowa county pa
triOt doing this will be better served
at all times, will get something wortl
his hard earned money, and will be
a strong factor in building up his
community. Sending money off to
the mail order house impovershes
Your community almost to the ex-
tent of the purchase price.
With this spirit, this paper rejects
much foreign advertising, in order
that 1t can serve its home people.
Within fortnight contract for a
page of foreign advertising was re-
jected, because the advertising con-
flicted with home merchants. The
paper does this as paying bust
ness proposition, and makes more
money by doing it than by un-
'ermining the home people on
whose welfare dt must depend for
support. "PatroniGe your Wallow,

OVER TWENTY-FIVE
NEW HoMESTEADERs

Census Taker Clarke has been
happily surprised at the number of
new homesteaders that have appear
ed in this precinct within the past
year. It is roughly estimated that
over 25 homesteaders have within, a
twelfth month settled upon lands in
this one precinct alone. This, TAX
en- in conjunction with the settle

rough idea of the incoming Of resi-
dents. Moreover, every train brings

Here's a Man Who
Actually Does It.
r.. E.. Heskett of Near Wallowa
Raises Fall Wheat
, 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.
It appeared that some one ought to
be found who had demonstrated
that wheat could be grown ON the
.nill lands, annually. And Friday it
was the fortune to meet with Mr..
R. E. Heskett of near Wallowa who
act ually does that very thing. In
an interview with Mr.. Heskett, who
Is one of our most prosperous ran
chers, that gentleman was asked:
How does it come that the farm
ers cam not raise fallwheat annually,
on the hill lands?"
81 don't know what others do"
he replied, "but I'm doing that very
thing, every year."
mat SeCIleQ Tile Wnoie mdtuei.
Mr.. Heskett not only raises wheat
every year, but raises fall wheat and
makes a success of it. This is a
source of qualification to us. not
merely because dt bears out a pre-
conceived theory of ours, but be-
cause it means SO vastly much for
this county. Since meeting with
Mr.. Heskett, we are informed that
any number of ranchers in various
parts of the county are raising
fall wheat annually. The eastern
prospective land buyer, who wants
to raise wheat on the best hard

IMPROVEMENT LEAGUES
CEMETERY PROJECT.

The Improvement league appoint

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 will gladly sell the prop
erty. This Is a commendable move
on the part of the ladies, and will
doubtless receive the applause of all

have come from every corner of the
earth. They bring the latest devices
for tickling the ribs and sending Wis
itors home in a more cheerful frame

clown play with this show. The
tricks are all new. The slap-stick
and knock.down methods, still re-
sorted to by other circuses, have
been discarded for the more modern
methods of the worlds greatest and
most successful comedians.
The cleyerest of burlesQues and sa-
tires. travesties on political and pub
lie events, clever pantomimes. farces
and skits, follow each other in rapid
succession. Grave men who haven't
laughed in years shout till they are
hoarse. Women who look upon
laughter in public places as a breach
of dignity, are transformed into gig
