Hay Demand In
Wallowa County
On The Increase
By O. C. Meek
(Observer Correspondent)
WALLOWA, Ore. (Special) An In
creasing demand for hay Is heard
from many parts of the community.
Many who are short on feed Btate
that they are finding It quite diffi
cult to find anyone who has hay for
sale. The steady sale of small lots
during the past few weeks appears
to have about cleaned up all offer
ings. Reports from tho upper part
of the valley last week stated that
some hay was . being shipped Into
Enterprise from outside points. Some
Investigation of -the cost of outside
hay has been made , by. some of the
farmers of this community during
the past week, and according to Borne
of thoso interested!' the cost' of hay
shipped In would be around 416' or
S1G per ton. There Also. .appears .to
be a .better demand for all .classes
of feed grain here. Many who, have
been short on hay have done con
siderable feeding of grain In an ef
fort to. make their hay supplies lost
through the winter season. Some of
the recent sales of wheat and bar
ley are said to have been made at
$20 per ton.
H. D. Bechtel, who recently sold
his farm on the edge .of the valley
about four miles east of town to
Herman Fisher, of Hot Lake, recently
moved his family to the former Giles
Plass place in the west part of town.
Mr. Bechtel also reports the sale of
about 200 bead of ewes to L. W.
Minor last week. This flock will
start lambing about March 1 and In
addition to Mr. Minor's present band
gives him better than 1000 head.
Miss Ilia Couch, .of Leap, has been

Many of the residents of this com
munity are still suffering from se
vere colds and flu. -Some of them
have been confined to their homes I
for several .days. j
John Bales, of Leap, was In ,the
Whiskey creek section the early part
of the week hunting some of Bruce
Fisher's horses .which ore still on
outside range. .Some of .the . other
farmers .of this section were busy
recently .getting in .some .of their
horses, that have been out all win
ter. Most of the stock gathered In
during the past few weeks are said
to have been In very poor shape.
Joseph Feaglns and A. W, Harmon,
of Xeap, were Enterprise business
visitors the early part of the week.
The continued cold weather of the
past two weeks has again1 .caused
water to 'become short -at some of
the farms In .the hills. The greater
part of the wells and springs were
flushed to some extent by the Janu
ary thaw and many who are short
at this time would greatly welcome
another Chinook.
The first shipment of -fat hogs to
be made from this end of the valley
In several weeks went out the last
of the week. A. .W. Johnson, ship
ping manager for the Wallowa Coun
ty Stock Marketing association, load
ed out two cars, one. going from here
and the other from the JLoetJne com
munity. . .
L. V. Lathrop, of Leap, was deliv
ering hogs to Evans Friday for-shipment
with the association,
Bob Couch, who haa been working
for his Uncle. John Couch. of .Leap,
spent Sunday at his home In town.
Poultry keepers of this' community
are pleased to note some Improve
ment in egg prices During the past
week some of the "stores here have
been paying 33 cents per dozen for
eggs. Reports from a number of the
farms Indicate -that production Is
atill quite low for this time in the
season. , ,

"Thifli" said Gene Tunney across
the luncheon table, "will surprise
you: Camera has the best left hand
of any heavyweight of prominence
In the ling today, I will go so far
as to say it .is a better left band
than Tommy Loughran ever had,
because It is more damaging and Jar
ring when It connect."
,It did surprise .us. ' .'
"Moreover'," continued Mr. Tunney,
"I think that left hand of -Camera's
would be very disastrous to i Mr.
Dempsey, If, as you suggest, they are
going to light In 'Um this year. I
would be very fearful of what might
happen If Camera really went in. end
roughed our Mr. Dempsey." 'r ' 1
We could not follow Mr, Tunney
here, however, holding . (tenaciously
and in the face of the former cham
pion's -logic to a firm, patriotic be
lief that our Mr. Dempsey would
slug Camera ..smack .on. Prime's
fragile maxillary and deposit him
upon the canvas.
"Yes," responded Mr. Tunney, "I
will .have to admit that there lis a
glassy '.texture to Camera's jaw.
Perhaps, after at!, you are right."

"How long will it be before some
super-runner lowers the mile record
to about four minutes?" .writes - a
track fan, disconcerted .by . Gene
Venzke's Indoor -record .run .of
4:11 1-6. i
Not, we think, until our grand-,
Children gather about our poised
knees and ask: ."Who was Babe
Ruth, granddaddy?" '
It's possible but you can figure
the chances on past performances.
It took nearly .40 years to reduce
the world outdoor amateur mile
record from 4:15 3-6, Tommy Con
neff's old mark, to the as-yet-unap-proved
figure of 4:00 1-5, registered
by ho loud, barrel -ohes ted young
Frenchman, Jules Lodoumegue.' ,r"
Most of this margin ,has been
chiselled off since 1013 when Cor
nell's John Paul Jones cut. the rec
ord tlmo to 4:15 2-6. But there was
no menacing gesture from Poavo
Nurml's 4:10 2-5 in 1923 'until
XsOdoumcgue broke loose in 1031.

"CALL AN AMBULANCE"
AN arm stole around Papa Ross's
shoulder. A vivid, livening arm,
and a voice sharp with fear called
into, his ear.
"Dad what's .happened ?"
He uncovered his. face slowly, and
gazed down at Goody. Gradually his
distorted features quieted.
" You'd, better call, an ambulance,"
he said tonelessly. "I've hurt .him.
J thank, God, J didn't have a gun."
"Dad oh. Dad!"
They both stiffened as the sounds
behind the closed door of the bil
liard room reached their ears. In
stinctively they moved aside as the
knob was grasped and a voice spoke:
a short, hardened command. ' j

Hickey marched with dignity past the two In the corridor.
and inarched to a ladder-hack chair
wboro slumped a bridegroom of less
than two rounds ot the clock. Care
fullv Hickey picked up his son.
And marched, silent and with su
preme. dignity, past the two. In the
corridor. .
"Is he badly hurt?", called Tapa
Ross sharply.
At the foot of the staircase Hick
ey turned.
"Shall I shall we call an am
bulance?" put In Goody huskily.
' -Hickey's -arms - sagged '.from -the
sheer 'weight ot .hls muscular bur
den. One fleeting glimpse of- the
hoy's bleeding face, eyes closed In
grateful ,-, unconsciousness,' struck
tho vision of the two who stood half
cowering In the light of the billiard
.-room.
- "1 nil take care. of my son," said
Hickey -with labored breath. "You
take care of your daughter!"
" Tightly ho gathered his burden,
and spoke to the dog at his heels.
-Goody and -Papa 'Hoss -watched
the procession, up the broad stair
ense. Heard tho voices In'tho upper
hnll.i Heard tho. slam ot the front
door. Heard tho sound ot Hickey's
car. And then hoard no more.
. The following day, Mr. Ross did
not go to his otllco.' He himself un
locked Hope's door In tho morning,
and onco more marsliulled the cook
ill and out with a breakfast tray ot
food. The room was empty save
for tho hungry kitten cuddled in the
tnffota bedspread that had been
tossed on the floor. From behind
Hope's bathroom door came sounds
ot a running shower, gasps and gur
gles of grateful shock In the bride's
pliant treble.
When Hope, wrapped In a hand
crocheted bathrobe ot orange,
green, and lavender silken threads,
swung open her bathroom door and
gaied about, her bright bluo eyes
lighted on tho breakfast tray set In
tho sunshine so that the painted
cherries and poaches and grapes
stood out on the gay yellow china

and her small bare foot tapped

and fed it cream nnd bits ot parsley
from her omelette.- Disdainfully she
mumbled iileas, the overnight bag
containing 'Sassy. ... ,
' Then with urgent speed, Hope
climbed up on berbed and began
to edge over to. the" window, graspi
ing the sheet mightily, and testing
Its strength. : ;
- No doubt ithe servants had re-:
ported the various accumulations ot
cast outs from her window. .At any.

on her perilous journey sheetwards,
her bedroom door was suddenly un-:
locked and Papa Ross entered. !
"Hope! Come in out of there, at

', Pale but sharp-eyed, Hope stared

;"Not unless you're going to act

"'Come in hero at once, I say." ,
"Tm going to Dickey!"
"There's no 'Dickey to go to!

Only the stornest sense of duty;
only tho deepest faith In his sense
ot right, prevented Papa Ross trora
melting at that wall.
- "No. Nothing has happened," he
said slowly, ''Except that he's come
to his senses, I suppose."
"What do you mean?"
"1. don't know anything about
him," Papa Ross shrugged, and
wondered why he could not meet
the child's eyes. "Ho hasn't been

per tp such an extent that he threw
