Wried as a supplement one of the most' interesting compila
tions it has been our pleasure to sec a four-column reprint
'of interesting items of many years ago in Knleiprise and
Wallowa county. There are twelve pages of reading mat
ter on good book paper with a dozen or more pictures of
'place and persons relating to events and conditions a gen
eration ago. 11 is a most creditable undertaking but tlu
cxccljence is what one would expect from such a capable
newspaper man as George Chancy. The supplement will
be preserved throughout Wallowa county.
