Spoils a Game
Marshal Dan Eno entered a resort in

who were enjoying a game of poker de
cided soon afterwards that they had
engagements elsewhere.
The law's bloodhound smelt a rat,
and, knowing that the gentlemen would
return, he mixed up the many and neat
piles of multicolored chips that stood
on the table.

Cougars War On Horses
While the Caviness engineering party
was out last Thursday week in the
mountains up the Malheur valley the
members saw one horse done to death
by a cougar while three other cougars
were chasing two horses across the
prairie.
While walking near the summit of a
hill a strange noise was heard proceed
ing from the other side of the summit,
and, going to investigate, they found a
great cougar with blood-besmeared
head standing over the body of a horse
which had just fallen. At a little dis
tance the three other felines were
chasing the two horses at full speed.
The successful cougar took fright and
soon all the participants in the prairie
tragedy had disappeared from view.

That Old Paper
To the Editor or The Enterprise,
Dear Sir: Your no doubt highly
esteemed contemporary, the Oregon
Oriano, has this to say concerning the
Malheur Enterprise in its last issue:
"THAT NEW PAPER."
"Three weeks ago with much noise
and sounding of trumpets, the Malheur
Enterprise entered the newspaper field
of Malheur county, arrogating to itself
the function of public guardian; it
promised to represent Malheur county;
it was to be the great journal devoted
to the public interest; it was to be the
agency of progress and development:
it was to be the big It and swing the
big stick in newspaperdom in Eastern
Oregon. The people of Malheur coun
ty welcome all who build up, but have
little room for thoso that tear down.
Subscriber."
The Enterprise will find it extremely
difficult to answer this charge, or to
retaliate, since no one who has ever
seen the Oriano would dream of accus
ing it of trying to perpetrate any of
the so-called offenses against the com
munity with which you are charged.
If you will read over their various ac
cusations, you will see the hopelessness
of saying, "You're another!"
It is needless to dwell too lovingly
or lingeringly on the enviable reputa
tion which the Oriano has acquired
among the organs of public opinion
throughout the United States, Canada
and Europe. Its thousands of subscrib
ers throughout the wide world must re
alize how fully and completely it repre
sents the progress of the city which
gave it birth and know how. proud we
are to send copies of this so well edited
and printed newspaper (?) to friends
ai d investors in the East.
The first thought that must strike
strangers, on glancing at the Oriano's
front page, is that Vale is a great and
enterprising city; that its people par
ticularly its newspaper men are of the
class which achieves brilliant results,
and that a district which supports such
an organ ought to be an exceedingly
profitable field for investment.
My opinion is that the Enterprise
ought to hire the Oriano editor if such
thing is possible. As Abe Lincoln
said about the man from Connecticut
who sold the wooden nutmegs, "Any
man v.'ho is slick enough to make peo
ple buy a manifestly worthless article
ought to be a wonder at selling some
thing of real value."
