One o-f the Most Delightful Ext-undoim Partook of Yowterday by 839 From La Grande Grand Time' for Every body Initial Trip to Wallowa County Made Without Accident to Mar It. " Hello, Observer. How is the big ir rigation project coming on? This was the salutation of a Portland business man as he stepped off of . the sleeper this morning to fill his lungs with our pure air, while en route to Chicago. This only goes to show how much in terest generally is taken In the Grande . Ronde , valley irrigation scheme. It ban been demonstrated' that water is a valuable asset In any country. With- ,.oui.w "l,-; r.- U. income famous for her crops, and greater things are expected when we get the - water. ..- ', Today marks' the 'beginning of new era for the great commonwealth, our sister county, Wallowa. This, Monday, morning the first regulur passenger and fright train .to, enter the county pulled out of La Grande at 8 o'clock, destined for the city of AVnl Iowa. Wallowa county has been wait mg lor this event for many years, and at last her hopes have been real- ' ized.'- , : .. One wet-k from today our county fair opens. T1i farniers In thisVkln ity are already beginning to pick out th bent of everything- thoy have to place on exhibit. We can have one oi' . the bent exhibits of any county If wc tuke the pains and trouble, to brine it put. If you have not already' received one of the premium books call upon the secretary, Fred Holmi s, and he will gladly supply you. ' Now for the beet harvest. It Is om: perpetual harvest In Union county. Every month in the year we have something that comes Into market. 11 It Is not beets It l hay. grain, brick, lumber, sugar, stock, Ice, wood, etc. Union county Is noted for her large diversified Interests. Ho, ye boosters! You cannot do this kind of weather jviKtlco. Some ot you are first-class Ingulxi, but boys. - you will find tluit your vocabulurly U : altogether too short, on adjectives when It comes to attempting to, de scribing thi- beautiful mornings.

Vlce-prenl-dent will be selected from every pre cinct In th county. Twelve hundred people crowding the afsles, vestibules and overhead spaces, taking advantage of crude seats in box car and caboose went to Wallowa on the first passenger train to penetrate Wallowa county yesterday morning. Three hundred and thirty nine went from La Grande and when the excursion train had reach'ed El gin, the under-anticlpation of, the O. R. & N.'becarrie noticeable. Accom modations were entirely too limited. But with some inconvenience," the enormous crowd was safely "placed In the little town of Wallowa and for a period of four hours Wallowa outdid Itself as host. Everything that could possibly tend to entertain the guests was done and of the vast throng to take advantage of the affair, not one has an adverse criticism to make against Wallowa. About, two miles out form Wallowa town, where meadows and forests abound, where ' cool streams wend their way In and out among the green fields there it was that the excur sionists finally. .come to a halt. Lunch baskets numbered practically the same total as the human beings and In a short time the cool shady spots were occupied with picnic lunches. Wal lowa apples, of a most delicious grade, and aromatic coffee supplied gratis by the citizens of Wallowa, helped to fill out the menus'in a grand Btyle. Then came the Enterprise band with Its ear-pleasing music that was wafted through the woods ami over the foothills at frequent Intervals dur ing the afternoon. Leonard Couch of Wallowa, and J. D. Slater of La Grande, took the rostrum and in brief speeches, outlined the Interest of the day from their respective standpoints. A Delightful Day. Of tht concourse of people, frm Union county, every Individual en- Joyed the pleasures of the Initial trip to Wallowa. The splendid ride' over a nrm-eiuss ro.uibed through 33 miles of canyon, was u treat to nil. The last stage to leave Elgin was passed by the train and many who have lived In La Grande for years were given the first and last glimpse of the primitive mode of travel, as the cumbersome stage lumbered along the Nine Mile canyon road. , Horse Take FrlKlit. The advent of the steam horse, that enemy of the real horse, was the oc casion for much snorting, considerable frlRht and 'at least one brief runaway yesterday. The horses of that county. as u rule, have nut been Introduced to the steam horse mid drivers invaria bly exercised much care when the puffins locomotives pushed tholr way Into the Interior. One team ran away, but was brought under control before It did damage to the people p. was hauling. Oftentimes the dilveis would unhitch their teams and snub them to a tree to nvold runawavs. Thus. who carry the dutinctiuii uf 1" Stiff In ('noire of the, first passenger train were Conductor Grady and En gineers Jackson and Thompson. .. The douhle'heMdrr truln was hmdled care-, ruliy and jet In c 1 snee.l. The roadbed was -a surprise to many, us oftentimes nu, travel was as smooth as any main lino road. liril.DING Mi l l, ii.LlM.i: Structure or steel in HulU on the Wallowu i:tcn-loit. The.O.
