An Alfalfa BANQUET

During the past year or so the
value of cottonseed meal as human
food has been studied by investi
gators with favorable results, and
a few months since a banquet was
served in Washington, ID. c., at
which many of the dishes contain
ed liberal quantities of cottonseed
meal. The attention which this
banquet attracted in the news.
papers aroused the ire and awak-
ened the jealousy of western alfal.
ia enthusiasts, and it is now an
nounced that they will hold an
alfalfa banquet in Colorado, which
will make the cottonseed meaI
banquet look like a hand-out at the
kitchen door.
The very idea of cottonseed meaI
having anything on alfalfa as food,
hotly decaled one of the alfalfa en-.
thusiasts. Il understand at that
cottonseed meal banquet they
served biscuits to the guests, and
when they had par taken of those
they served more biscuits; but
want to tell you that at this feast
there will be something more thar
biscuits.
When pressed to name some OF
the alfalfa dainties which will be
on the menu, he said that, though
he had planned a big surprise, he
felt that he owed it to the public,
and his expected guests in particu-
lar, to tell just what kind of ''alfal.
ia eats" were coming to them. He
said:
"To start with, there will be al.
falfa biscuits, made from alfalfa
meal; then there will be turkey
stuffed with alfalfa; alfalfa will be
served 10 the place of potatoes,
and there will be alfalfa leaves in
the place of spinach. There will
also be alfalfa salad, and for bever.
ages alfalfa tea and alfalfa cider.
When the meal is finished the
guests will be given alfalfa tooth
picks made from alfalfa straw"
is that all4" was asked of the
alfalfa mill man.
''Oh, no-I almost forgot.
Former Governor Alva Adams
will be the chief speaker, and the
subject Ct his discourse will be
Alfalfa and Apples Isn't that
enough to make those cottonseed
meal men from Dixie turn greer

We do not want to dampen the
enthusiasm of our southern and
western friends. A healthy pride
in what one has, and the determin
alton to make the most of it anC
be content is to be encouraged
rather than discouraged. But VIZ
remind them that each man ha!
but one stomach, and that he owe!
it a decent sense of respect
Stomachs which do not receive
this respect and consideration hav,
a way of wrecking vengeance
which is both effective and dis
comforting. We suggest, there
fore, to our friends of the soutl
and west that they sell their cotton
seed meal and alfalfa hay, both 0

Several of our exchanges are

is the Capa Hustler, which is now
beginning the fifth year of its
existence.
The circulation of petitions for
referending the law applying the
herd law to the whole state, as
passed by the late legislature, has
been started at Rapid City.
The VanDusens have a new

Twice during last week strangers
in Rapid City have been assaulted

spring election has brought out a
warm fight on the liquor question
at Fort Pierre. 1t is said that
there has been considerable liquor
sold illicitly in that city during the
past year, and some of the business
men have expressed the opinion
that saloons would be preferable
to present conditions.
Murdo has been trying for the
past two or three years to get a
deep well that would give salts.
factory flow. They have hole in
the ground 1900 feet deep, and
have let a contract requiring it to
be sunk an additional 1900 feet,
before any pay is due the con-
tractor. 1t is believed that at that
depth they will haye plenty of
water, and they certainly are en-
titled to it.
That the witnesses in court suits
must swear under the American
custom by the Christian Diety was
the ruling of Judge Rice in the
Khan VS.. Khan, in which two
Syrians of Lead were embroiled
in circuit court at Deadwood. The
men wished to swear by the Koran
and with Mohammedian oaths, and
for this purpose had imported a
priest from Aberdeen, but the
court held that only American
oaths would be accepted in his
court and that foreigners must
comply with accepted customs in
this country. The contestants to
the suit had told the court they
would believe each other only by
swearing on the Koran.

TO THE PEOPLE OF WALLOWA
COUNTY-NOTICE

The presence of hydrophobia
among the coyotes of Wallowa coun-
ty has been demonstrated by the
Oregon State Board of Health be
yond q doubt, and the various towns
have or will pass ordinances requir-
,ng the muzzling Of all dogs with
in their corporate limits, and the
people of this county are requested
to take every precaution to prevent
their dogs from coming in contact
with coyotes. 1t not only means
possible saving of human life but al
so saving of dollars and cents to
The entire community.
The people are hereby requested
70 chain or otherwise confine their
dogs at night and to join in a gen.
eral crusade against the coyotes.
While 1t is true that only about
10 per cent of the people bitten
by rabid animals contract the disease
during the coming hot season that
percentage may be more than doubl-
ed, hence you can readily appreciate
he condition which now confronts
his county.
In case any one Is bitten, thor
oughly cleanse the wound and caut-
erize the same just as described in
he article published lin a recent Is
sue of this paper, said anticle receiv-
ing our o. X.
The most important measure that
can possibly be adopted, however,
s the eXtermination of the coyote
and a systematic persistence upon
The part of the people will do more
-owards preventing. or at least re.
ducfng, the dangers to a minimum.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

The past 10 months have been
months of steady advance for Enter
prise and Wallowa county. Crops
were good, more land was broken
nd cultivated than ever before,
the live stock interests have had a
prosperous year, business has flour
lshed-all has marched forward in
the steady step of progress.
Life Is easy and joyous in this ia
vored section. No blistering heat in
summer nor destructive storms in
winter There's enough for every
body. and everybody has enough.
This is not saying, however, that
everybody has all he wants. The
wants of some could not be- satisfied.
There are disconnected people ev-
erywhere, even a few In Wallowa
county. but we notice that the few
who go away always want to come
back, and they generally do.
The coming year will no doubt be
banner year in Wallowa county,
and here's wishing every one OF our
readers. and that means practically
all the people In the county, a happy
and prosperous New Year.

West Point and Annapolis send out
each year a large corps OF graduates.
Once graduated those fledgling Of
ficers are sure OF soft berth all
the rest of their life, and If they
keep their noses clean, and their
stomachs and heads are strong
enough to prevail over strong wal
ers, they will become major gener-
ais and rear admirals, regardless OF
merit fitness or services rendered.
In the navy, the polite term for
this is lineal promotion; the one
commonly used by bluejackets is
stomach promotion. That is, the fel-
lows with the strongest constitution
eventually get the highest ranks.
The average percent of Intelligence
and fitness among army and navy Of
ficers is about the same as in CIV
il pursuits. Maybe so per cent make
good officers, and so per cent are
failures. But there is this differences:
In civil LIE competition weeds out
he UNIV orthy, and, generally SPEAK
ing. individuals advance as their per-
sonal merits warrant. In army and
navy officers the unfit and undescrv-
ing advance just as fest as the good
officers. There are navy captains

That lineal promotion is what navy
officers mean when they speak OF

tho they want the public to think 1t
means something entirely different
high, noble and glorious.

The point Of CID this long and tire
some screed is not that the system
of running our war engines should
be changed, but ABOLISH THE EN-.
CINE.
The United States, a Christian

And 1t is all so foolish, too. Il

"PEAcE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL
TO MEN,"

Army officers are seeing dark col
ored spots and think they are blood.
Japan, The Fiji Islands, Paraguay,
Germany, Liberia, or some other flrst
class fighting power is going to come
over here one of these days-very
soon. too-and lick the everlasting
daytlights out of Uucle Sam Ihe
officers-ithe big 'uns, way at the
top, who get the princely salaries
say our army is no good, our coast
defenses are papier mache, our arms
and munitions of war antiquated and
useless, and the whole system ls
rotten.
That's the substance OF the celebra
ed Secret report" by the high monkey
monks of the army to the president
and congress. The report was so
alarming said the officers, that 1t
would never do to make public; the
great, hulking cowardly Americans
would be thrown into frenzied fright
and the Canucks would capture our
cookies before we could say Jack
Robinson.
So all the Washington correspond
ents and the press services were CIV
en- copies OF 1t with the strictest II
junction to tell nobody, which Of
course they didn't. They didn't tell;
they just telegraphed 1t to their pa
pers.
The colored gentleman In the wood
pile then showed himself and did the
Oliver Twist stunt of asking for mort
money.
The whole thing Is so absurd that
II the American army officer had
any sense OF humor, or any sense at
all outside OF his profession, he woul'
never have pulled off such ridicu-
lous affair.
The United States spends approx
mately, as much ON hts army as does
Great Britian, France, Germany, ia
pan or amy OF the nations that, ac
cording to "our officers Is going
to transport troops across thous
ands of miles of ocean and eat us

The immense sums spent on the
army and navy are spent by or un
der the direction OF army and navy
officers. II 1t isn't we'll spent 1t Is

it is their system. Every time the
