termed "empire builderB." They have
made money In the Wallowa country
but they have done more than that
they have spent their money In the
Wallowa country. The lighting sys
tem, the water system and many oth
er enterprises were started, financed
and pushed to successful operation by
members of this family. Naturally
they are interested in a good bank.
The last statement of the First bank
of Joseph shows a deposit account of
$234 ,50 1.8.-1, while the loan account
reached $255,524.36, with cash on

both poets and artists.

Win. E. Curtis, the famous des
criptive writer, who recently visited
the IJike, published the following in
the Chicago Record -Hera Id:
"Wallowa Lake would make an
ideal summer resort, and the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation Company is
boosting a movement to build a "fea
ture hotel" like Kl Tovar at the
CI rand Canyon of the Colorado and
Old Faithful inn in the Yellowstone.
There Is no mountain resort In Ore
gon for invalids or pleasure seekers
that would be so agreeable or con
venient. It would be difficult to im
agine a more attractive place."
The wisdom of Wiliam E, Curtis is
apparent, but it was left to J. P. IBs
ensperger of Cleveland. Ohio, and .1.
Ross Leslie of Joseph, to work on: f ' j
details and establish what is to ' .
one of the most delightful rest place
In the lap of nature's beauty spot.
Mr. Leslie has long viewed the
head of the lake with an idea ot Spate
day making there a resort that would
become famous all over the lan I. IPor
three years he has in a primitive
manner entertained guests, but when
his energies were coupled with those
of Mr. Egensperger this season splen
did results followed
Seventy-five snow-whit e tents now
dot the grand old forest and each
night the tall and stately pines keep a
silent vigil over the tents and their
occupants. A fine cafe," with a de
partment for carrying groceries and
supplies for campers who choose to
cook for themselves has been Institu
ted which with the large dancing pa-
villlon makes a liitle villaRe of some
iyd..c banTOs- aonf aonwt
question of time until its popularity
is assured. The men who have under
taken the enterprise are live ones
and know how to care for the peo
ple.' They have plenty of energy, and
when the boat, "Chief Joseph", burn
ed last Friday' they at once prepared
to build a larger one.
The Mineral Wealth.
That nature has bestowed In large
quantities mineral .of value in the
mountains near Joseph, there is no
doubt While no great amount of
mining has been done, sufficient de
velopment work has shown magnifi
cent deposits of copper, lead, silver
and some zinc. Gold is found in some
localities but the backbone of indus
try so far as values are concerned,
is centered in the other metals
named..
The "Copper King" on upper Wal
lowa is one of the properties upor,
which a good showing has been made
Pome samples carrying as much as 30
ier cent in copper were to be seen
in Joseph and all the tunnel that has
been run shows ood ere. The officers
of the company are: J. H. Dobbins,
r resident; F. D. McCully, vice-president;
R. A. Snyder, general manager;
directors: L. Knapper, jr.; Sam Litch
of Enterprise, Dr. Irvln, J. H. Russell
of La Grande, L. N. Drake. Wallace
Trill, secretary and Arthur Parker,
treasurer.
A Hunch from Maker There.

prospects, by searching you will also
