needed to handle logs and handle
them very rapidly. When ons stands

on endless chain carriers, and finally
the good lumber is sent up an incline

buzzsaws cuts it into proper lengthj
and sends it into the yard to be piled
and dried, or into the dry kilns for

"What did it? Why the transforma
tion? It is easily answered. The George
Palmer Lumber company, the Grande
Konde Lumber company and O.-W. !I.
& N. company transformed La Grande
with their pay rolls.
Pay rolls are doing the same thing
to Enterprise.
Some place in the middle west, we
believe it is Kansas City, there lives
a man named Duvnll Jackson who
nibbled at timber in the Wallowa
county section for several years, and
his friends nibbled. They kept getting
more and more invested and it kept
looking better and better to the.ni.
Finally th inevitable happened.
Tho timber was getting ripe and Du
vnll Jackson realized he hud to get ,
action for a nian livjs but once and
he doesn't live very long at that. So,

lumber. This was not indicated, as

county forests and placed on the mar

Enterprise would have never seen had
it not been for the saw mill.
The effect of this pay roll is appar
ent on every hand. The town is
glowing. There are new faces on the
sheets all the time. People have
heard of the "pep" in Enterprise and
are (locking in. Some are the Easy
money guys who expect to pick off a
little of the velvet and move on, but
there is a large percentage who enter
Enterprise that can be called good,
substantial people looking for a loca
tion. For this reason Enterprise is
doubling herself in population just
about as fast as the rules of the busi
ness game will permit. And to the
credit of. Archie Miller, Dan Boyd,
Frank Clarke and a lot more of the
"sovereign squats" who went there in
an earlier day, they are taking care of
all who come. Not bilking them with
some scheme to get their money, hut
they are finding profitable employ
ment and profitable business for the
men who are worth while.

John H. Pollit is superintendent of
the new mill. He hails from down
south where the magnolias bloom and
where mosquitos and black folks op

summer. He was very frank in telling
the writer that he had never heard

winter as we have just had in East

the arrest of H. H, Bulch, n prominent
mill owner of Grand Mound, on the.
charge of aiding girls to escape from
the State School fan Girls at Grand
Mound und also charging him with in
terfering with the discipline of the
school. It is alleged that Mr. Baleh
assisted Pearl Mann to escape from
the school, paying her way to Seattle.
Several other residents of Grand
Mound are suspected of having had .
a hand in the affair. The investiga
tion was imade upon the complaint of
the state board of control that cer
tain Grand Mound people are hos
tile to the institution, it 'being their
apparent sentiment that the irirls
aire badly treated and that they are
doing a humane act in assisting-
them to get away.
