The Commercial aao.-iations of the
counties 'of Wallowa and L'nlon should
Join hands, pool their lntret In

Wallowa county was formerly a por

Now thfit tb Iron hors has i.-n-ered

Some people that l'nlon county cannot
provide, but there In not a resident In
t'nlon county b.it would rejoice to we
very horneyeeker thai could not be
aecured for Union county, lociU In
Wallowa county.
On the other hand, every additional
thousand people secured by Union
county makes it Jut that much easier
for Wallowa county to necuro another
thousand. It Is caso of mtituu) in
terest for either county to develop,

the feeling toward Wallowa county by
