V ,u UUMl of aa loyal citizen, sent two photo graphs of La Grande back east to hla relatives. One' showing the old town. now generally known aa South La Grande, and what waa 'then the new town. When these photos were taken there was a large amount of vacant land between the two, and Fourth street was mora In fancy than reality. The other picture shows Jefferson avenue and the railroad shoo, nn round house. The old-timers will Im mediately recognize Wllber's Hverv stable which occupied the lot upon works. Porter's hotel Was whr h Mint saloon building now stands, or ratner aid prior to the" June election. Klrtley's barber shop is recognized as a landmark by many and the Palace saloon building Is the 'only building on the row that remains when the photo was taken. A few hundred feet west of what I. now the Fir street railroad crossing, were situated the stockyards. The little depot building was on the opposite side of the track.' The ele vated coal bunkers were different. The cars did not enter It and the little switch engine which did the work then looks like a baby as well as do the box cars standing on a side track, as compared with those now in use. The picture also shows the old creek or irrigating ditch which ran zig-zag through the city before the city covered It through the alley be tween Jefferson and Adams avenues. This section of Jefferson avenue was not graded and shows to what .otpnt that portion of the city had to bo filled to bring It to Its present condition. Mr. Benglesdnrf recently sent for these photos and they may now be seen in the window of James R. Smith. DISPLEASED WITH NAMES. Enterprise la City, Wallowa U a city More SxLUk Terms Wanted. Attorney Dan Sheehan, who lives In the Wallowa section In a vlllaire near the city of Wallowa, called Enterprise, is in the city today on legal mnttern. In order to forestall a terrific as sault from the Wallowa attorney, we take pleasure In correcting the above saying, rather, that Mr. Sheehan 1 from Enterprise, the most enterprising city in the county of Wallowa. Mr. Sheihan's pet hobby Is to' dwell on the lines of demarcation that exist In his county. It Is common error to speak of Wallowa when the speaker means Lostlne, Joseph, Wallowa town, or even Enterprise. The judge affirms that W sllowa town Is no more Enter prlHe than Union is La Grande. He never could see why such broad terms are being used to designate places In that fertile section of Oregon. "There Is a Wallowa county, a Wallowa cltv. a Wallowa valley." says the attorney and ha and many others of his kins men would prefer more specific names In the future. Wallowa countv and Its Inhabitants have outgrown a primitive age and are now worthy of as much specification as Union coun ty. With Prunes selling at 6 1-1 and one of the largest crops on record.
