Wallowa county, .in the extreme northeastern corner of the state, has an area of more than three thousand square miles, of which about one-third is included in the lofty and rugged Wallowa Mountains often called "The Switzerland of America." The La Grande-Wallowa Lake highway is a scenic highway of first rank, traversing the Grande Ronde valley as far as Elgin, crossing Minam hill, and then winding down through Minam Canyon and up the Wallowa Canyon. Coming into the wide Wallowa val ley, magnificent meadow and mountain views greet the motorist, as he continues on through Enterprise and Joseph to Wal Iowa Lake, nestling at the foot of snow-capped peaks.

Scientific training and a new conception of SER VICE have wrought this change, which is fully reflected in the management of our Modern Funeral Home. in their respective territories. If any. ot.tha marketing associations aa oumulatee more butter than they are able to dispose of in their territory, it Is shipped to one of the' others who has ft market for more than they are receiving, and thereby pre vents a price decline in the terri tory where the surplus was accumu lated. . V : Quality of Product All butter received In roriland or any of the larger markets must be sold according to grade, and on ar rival Is scored by a government agent, who determines the grade.
