WALLOWA COUNTY POSSIBIL
ITIES. The La Grande Observer, always
mindful of its laudable ambition to
.. cultivate the good will of the people
of Wallowa county, Btatea a few days
ago that some 200 families have mov
ed into this county in recent monthB.
The number is necessarily only an
estimate but there can be no question
that new additions are being made
constantly to the population. Most
of the new comers go into the hills,
attracted by the lure, of cheap lands ,

migrants will be disappointed, and will
sell out and depart in time; others will
zens. The measure of their success
depends largely on their knowledge
of what farming methods are necei
sary here. The hills present peculiar
problems. They cannot be farmed
according to eastern methods, nor will
experience gained in irrigated sec
tions be of any value. Here is es
sentially a dry farming proposition;
soil preparation, crop selection and
other factors a study unto themsel
ves. But men who have learned the
secret have prospered, and others can
follow in their footsteps or improve
on their methods, until all the tillable
land is producting the large crops it
is capable of growing. The point
is that new comers should leave noth
ing to chance, should not trust ex
perience in other lands different from
this. Of course the great irrigated
farms can support three times the
population now living on them, once
intensive methods are adopted. But
this is a simpler method than farming
in the hills. Enterprise Record-Chieftain.

Guild Thanks Participants.
The Ladies' Guild of St. Peter's
church issued the following announce
ment appropos to the recent min
strel. The ladies of St. Peter's guild wish
to express their grateful thanks to the
public for the generous patronage
accorded the 'Cabaret Minstrel." Al
so to the .members of the cast they de
sire to express their gratitude, not
only for the excellent rendering given
to the various parts, but for the time
and work put in rehearsals, which
were necessarily tedious. While it
wouid be invidious to mention any
special ones, when all worked faith-
fully and did well, yet the-manager,
Mr. Ellsworth Ellis must be acc order
particular credit and commendation.
in the manner in which he drilled his
troupe and staged the piece. He him
self is a performer of exceptional
merit, having been trained under the
best instructors in the east and had
several years of actual experience
in vaudeville and other lines. Any
society wishing to put on a play need
not now go' outside the townfyfor a
director and manager. His work in
"The Cabaret Minstrel" speaks for '
itself, and the ladies wish to convey I
to him sincerest appreciation of his J
work and ability. '

attractive, and combined with the
exemplification oof the Wallpwa
lodge, made an epoch-marking history
in Eastern Oregon Pythianism. Elgin
was not without glory for her orches

Enterprise Next Mecca.
During the evening, unanimously,
the convention voted to hold the next
annual - convention in Enterprise,
where a big time awaits. '
At 10:30 the convention adjourned
to the I. O. O. F. banquet hall where,
under direction of the Pythian Sis
ters, a pleasing banquet was hand
somely served.
The toasts were snappy, witty and
entertaining. Dr. M. K. ' Hall was
toastmaster. Frank Grant, grand
chancellor of the domain of Oregon,
responded with a warm appeal for
the good of the order. He was fol
lowed by J. W. Gwinn, past grand
chancellor, and like his successors, he
got off in a happy vein. Gus Meese,
grand prelate of the domain of Wash
ington, Marion Davis of Union, F. A.
Clark of Enterprise, W. G. Trill of
Wallowa, L. Denham of Elgin, and
Judge Knowles of La Grande, we're
each heard in snappy speeches. Mrs.
Conoway of Elgin, C. P. Ferrin of La
Grande were heard in entertaining
songs, and Ben Weathers of Enter
prise, sang a comic number that was
a hit. The banquet broke up with a
rousing toast to Red Cross .lodge; led.
by the Enterprise lodge.
At 2 o'clock this "morning, Imperial
Ikfir Meese of Spokane, brought to
order the. tyros;' who were to form
Khaled Temple No. 170, D. O. K. K.
Before the temple had been insti
tuted and 75 tyros lead across burn
ing sands to the oasis in La Grande,
plains of Union desert of Oregon, and
at the zem zem fount cooled with re
freshing drinks of camel's milk, it was
ten minutes to 6 a. m. The erstwhile
tyros, now full-fledged voteries of
Oregon's second temple, had barely
time to eat and be gone' on the 7:30
train. In these hours of the break
ing day the La Grande divan covered
itself with glory, for a major portion
of the divan had been given parts
ten days or less ago. The magnifi
cent regalia was shown off to good
V
effect and the impressive ceremonial
that introduced the tyros to the hilar,
ity of the occasion that came later on,
was read with apt effectiveness. Mar
ion Davis of Union, Frank S. Grant
of Portland, and Mr. Baker of Wal
Iowa, ' assisted materially in making
the ceremonial a success. It was i
gala wind-up to a most splendid con
vention.' .
