visitor Saturday, coming in on busi
ness. Mr. aCrter states that Condi

county are good. He stated that a
heavy hail storm passed through that

of the hardest ever known in Wallowa

about two miles wide, and the hail was
six inches deep on the ground. Con
siderable damage was done to crops in
the path of the storm. Wallowa Sun.
. Harvest In Full Swing.
The grain harvest is now on through
much of Wallowa county. Around
Wallowa the farmers began" cutting
wheat three weeks ago, and since then
the work has started in one district af
ter another. Grain hay is well out of
the way and the ripe wheat is being
cut in the exclusive hill sections.
j, No threshingsreturns have come in
yet, but the results will be known
shortly. There is every prospect of a
good yield, and many fields undoubt
edly will run over 40 bushels to the
acre. Enterprise Record-Chieftain.
