All the bis situations which kept the play for such a Ions time cm Broad way have been Vitagraphed In excel lent dramatic style, Hiving tho screen version tho punch that puts it in tho Ham" position In moving pictures that "Within tho Law" occupied The thrilling moments, the heart-interest scenes, the -mystery, the cun ning of the representatives of the law plttJd against the equal shrewd ness of those going strictly against the law tut technically within it; all these things, in fact, the sum totalof the play's hits are thrown upon the screen foi tvo hours of engrossed entertainment. Tne picture Is one whose every scene makes one more eaKcr for the next. "A very noteworthy and memor abl. part of the production is the worjt of the cast, every member of which Is suited to the part assigned.

The McKeeths had a most exciting trip from Boise to Nampa. Jmt before they reached Meridian, their engine broke a rod and stripped all the gear on one side. After considerable delay" they limped into Meridian, but having no air, they ware unable to stop and crashed head on into the engine of the train bound out for Boise. They arrived at Nampa too late to catch number l'J and had to remain over night, arriv ing in La Grande Tuesday about 10 a. m. They expect to remain in La Grande for a week and then go on to Port land and visit Mrs. McKeethte sister. Mrs. O. J. Lougheed.

Adele DeGarde scores a distinct hit as Aggie, the happy-go-lucky, witty-tongued girl, the character that those who saw the stage play will remember well. Mies DeGarde is substantially helped by sub-titles, probably from the orig inal manuscript, which are gems of piquant clang. Another among the players deserving special mention Is Eugene O'Rourke, who, with a good part, geto plenty of Jaughs from the audieno because his depiction is so unerringly and comically true to life. Dlllle Billings, Anders Randolf, Wal ter McGrall and Robert Galllard are other players prominent in the sup port. "The picture Is bo'Vid to "get over" with audiences who demand high class.

Wallowa stock men are constantly improving their cattle and are largely running to Shorthorns, so Mr. Smith states. This year they have sold their herds down rather close, owing to the attractive prices that have prevailed. They feel assured of plenty of hay this winter if the weather is not ex tra severe and there seems to be every indication of an open winter.

All roads and canyons lead to and center in Enterprise and all the stock country for 40 miles is tributary to the town, owing to Joseph creek and other canyons shutting them off.
