WALLOWA. Or, Jan. 10' t Staff Cor respondence. Wallowa, the second town In the county in point of else, with a population, aa Riven by tha last census, of 793. lies 24 miles northwest of Joseph, and. Ilka Joseph and enterprise. Is situated on the Wil low River and on the O.-W. R. at N, Railway. It is nearly In the western extremity of what Is called tha Wal lows Valley, a valley which would be railed a park in the Inter-mountain country. This park or Taller Is surrounded on a'l aides by high mountains, the only outlets being up and down the Grand Ronde River, which tha railroad fol lows up from Rondowa to I -a Grande. tha latter place being- 21 miles north west of here. As already mentioned, tha present railway ends at Joseph, but surveys have bean made to extend tha line soma 11 miles to the southeast to tha little town of Homestead, the terminus of tha present line leading north from Hunt- lnarton along the Ore-ton bank of tha PnaKe River. v bile sucn a road would be of great benefit to this section, it would not open up much of a farming country. The road would run through a rouah and mountainous section, but finely timbered. Rail Kom PreasUlac. ntinnlnr northea.it from Rondowa and followlna: the Grand Ronde. there ltf been other railway etirveya made exten-linc to the Snake River, which tn Grand Ronde flows Into about six miles north of the extreme northeast ern mrnrr of Wallowa County and Orecon. Sur-h a road would open up one of the finest sections of farming, fruit, rerral snd grazing portions of the state, and Also tap large timber belts- It will be noticed that such a road would al most reach l-eKtstnn. and when tha present Huntlngton-Hornestead road Is romplr-ted down the nake to Lewiston. thie entire section would ba In touch with Portland by a water-level route. This Is the extension for which tha people of Oregon should pull together. The distance from Rondowa to tha Snake is about 70 miles. It la said such a road could be cheaply and economi cally constructed. Remember. It would put the entire Grand Ronda Valley In water-level touch with Portland. It would eliminate tha Blue Mountain as.-ent and descent, and would not greatly lengthen the distance between La Grande and Portland. In speaking of the extreme northern section of Wallowa County, one of tha het Informed citlxens of this section. Mr. Galloway, of Enterprise, tells me that it is even better In all that goes lo make a section prosperous as a stot and general farmtng country than the best of tha Palouse country, or the best of that around Lewlston and Alalia. Hea-lee Utile Kaewm. Tha section around Troy, extending many miles east, west and north. Is aid t" be one of the very finest por tions of our state. I am. of course, glv. ing these statements on faith, but I am of tne firm opinion that they are not ttagcrrated. And I am going to ask tha management of The Oregonlan to let me make a tour of that section tha coming sSummer and tell Its readers lust tha whole truth about this little known portion of our state. Tha Town of Wallowa has as pros perous a look as any place I have re cently visited. Some of tha residences here appear as If some of the best dwellings of the Irrtngton section of Kast Portland had been picked up In tact and set down here. And the busi ness bouses are likewise substantial snd large, the stocks displayed are well arranged and of good proportions. Everything bears an air of prosperity snJ thrift, and there is something be yond tha agricultural resources of a splendid country to bark these up a payroll of something like 111.800 to SIS. 000 a month. This comes princi pally from the IS sawmills in tha coun ty directly surrounding the town, tha farthest being not mora than seven miles distant There is a creamery here, and Its output Is stesdlly increasing. There la but one bank tha Stock growers' and Farmers' National with a capital and surplus of about 170. 0u0. and deposits of 117617.(3. Mrs. Minnie U. Stevens, ft Portland, is the president, and C. T. MrDanlel the cashier. It was organised as a atate bank in 103, and changed to a National bank February 1. 19011. It will ba seen that for a comparatively young Institution It has made wonder ful progress. Tyee Is -Swift." Wallowa's newspaper, the Wallowa Sun. la one of the better class of coun try newspapers. It Is owned by R. H. Jonas, but he Is now teaching school over at John Hay, and J. M. Bledsoe Is running tha office with marked ability. They have a very nicely equipped plant and do a large Job business. Tha type for the paper Is set by a schautotype. which beats a linotype hands down. I must say. however, that this schauto :ype has hair somethtnc resembl'ng red. I can say this without fear of accident, for I expect to be far hence when this letter is read in tha Sun office by Miss Margaret Schautt. a:i that I have said In my former letters from this county about live stock can not only be repeated as ap plying to this little city, but can ba scceatuated. The surrounding land-t-wnr9 seem to be bound to rslse and ship the best stock sent to tha Portland torkyard from any portion of Oregon. And in the dairy business there are men here who are pursuing their busi ness with as much Intelligence as any mi:k producers In the state. The herd of Tulley Brothers, a litis over a mile from town. ur.!er tha supervision of J. ;". Ware, has 60 cows. In the month of July. last, this herd produced milk which sold at the creamery here for $, and the only feed was wild grass from uncleared land adjacent to tha river. Aside from tha milk sold. 14 people were kept In milk and butter. And the herd ronstpted of two, three and four-year-old heifers, and soma of them did not "pay their keep." while the best paid a profit of IK for the nocttu . Five Cherebea la dry. There Is an accurate account kept of each cow. and tha herd Is being brought up as fast as it Is possible to do so. And this herd la but typical of sevwral ethers. There are five churches In Wallowa.

One of them, the Presbyterian. Is said to have the handsomest audience-room of any Protestant church in Kastern Oregon. There Is a very handsome high school building, and Ita Interior ar rangements are as near perfect as tha architects could plan. There Is a large flouring mill, a planing mill and a beautiful publlo school building. Tha Xlty baa a fine gravity water system, the supply coming from tha Wallowa River. Tha electric plant la run in con nection with tha flouring mill, and the service Is good and ratea reasonable. Much of the machinery In town la run by water motors, such as tha creamery, prlntlag office, etc To show the standing of the city with other placea of similar size in Oregon, there will be a postsl savings bank In operation here on the 17th of this month. While I am not sure about It, I am told that this office will be In the smallest city In the state having such a bank. It was evidently placed here so soon by the authoritiea taking note of the large payroll paid regular ly to the mill and other workers. Very few placea in the West csn boast of a payroll of SIS per capita per annum, aa this city can. And this la only from tha mills; adding to this amount the wages paid the ordinary mechanics, clerks and others who work for a wage. It will be seen tUat tha Wallowa people have something to back them up when they claim to have the most prosperous small city In the state. And. speaking of wealth, the resi dents claim that the per capita wealth of the county Is the greatest of any county lu the United States. That is certainly a broad claim. But by a sim ple sum In arithmetic I find that the assessed valuation la equal to the sum of a few cents less than 11200 per capita for the SIC persons shown by the last census to reside In the county. As It Is sure that the assessed valuation la far below the real Intrinsic value of ih. nmiuiri in tha county. It can be seen that there Is soma grounds for the j claim made by tha Wallowa people ol being remarkably rich. And. remem ber, there are no very wealthy citizens residing here, and certainly no paupers. The wealth mentioned Is very evenly distributed, making a erosperous com munlty. POLICE SYMPATHY WASTED Husband 'Weeps lor Lort Wife; She Appears. Bruised, She Says, by Him. Weeping as be told at detective head quarters Saturday night of the disap pearance of his wife and babe, Thomas H. Hunt did not divulge that tha woman's departure followed a beating In which ba gave her two black eyes. That part ef the story came out when tha missing woman appeared at the police station and sought protection from the hubsand whose anguish had just won the sympathy of the officera. The child-mother Is only 17 years old, and her baby was born four months ago. Carrying It In her arms, she went to the station shortly after her hus band had made his report, and dis played great swollen bruises which she said he had caused. The police advised her to swear to a complaint, but she said Hunt had threatened to kill her If she revealed what had happened. Mrs. Hunt left her home at S51 Pres cott street Saturday, leaving a note which aaid that she Intended to take the child to the Baby Home and then , a-o to her grave. The police made a . rapid search for her. which was brought to an end when she went to the station. Hunt will be arrested on her complaint.

FORESTER CECIL REPORTS Oregon, Washington and Alaska Biases Listed Great Improve ment In Fighting Flames Due to Trails and Phones, According to the annual report of George H. Cecil. Lletrlct Forester, $87 fires menaced National forest lands In Oregon, Washington (excepting Stev ens County) and Alaska, during 1911. Tha timber damaged or destroyed In tha two states amounted to 61.901,000 feet, board measure, valued at 158, J3. Toung second-growth timber destroyed was valued at I5J.92I. The estimated value of timber damaged or destroyed and young growth destroyed during the pre vious year on National forest lands in Oregon and Washington amounted to I72S.J42. During the year (82 of these fires were discovered and extinguished by forest officers before but little If any damage had been done. The remaining SOS varied In size from a few acres to several hundred acres In exceptional cues. The National forest timbered area burned over In Oregon and Wash ington aggregated 38.299 acres, while the open land burned over aggregated 15.990 acres, the total burned over be ing 64.289 acres, or about two-tenths of one per cent of the wholet "The Improvement in this year's reo ord over that of last year Is very grat ifying," said Mr. Cecil, "especially when the fact Is considered that the hazard was Just about as great during the sea son Just past as It was during 1910. The danger from lightning was considerably greater in 1911, there being 269 fires from that cause. In 1910 there were only lit. The better protection we were able to give the forests Is attributable to the fact that 1911 found us In a bet ter position than ever before In regard to trails and telephone lines. In nu merous Instances these added facilities saved their coat several times over In getting men and supplies to the scene quickly. Wa have continued the work this season, having, constructed 431 miles of trail and 379 mllee of telephone line. We have planned the construction of an additional ITS miles of line which will be available by the beginning of next fire season. ' This will give a to tal of over 2000 miles of trail and al most 1500 miles of telephone lines con structed and owned by tha Forest Serv ice. "A great advance was made over the season of 1910 In the intenslvenesa of the Summer patroL In 1910 our funds permitted the employment of 445 pa trolmen, as against 64S during tha past Summer, an Increase of 44 per cent. Under tha provision of the Weeka law the State of Oregon received from the Government $1300 for expenditure in protecting from fire the timbered water sheds of navigable streams. This sum was expended under the direction of . A. Elliott. State Forester." Governor Shown in Films.

In addition to the aim. a number of slldea showing ether phases of the remarkable trip were exhibited. Another feature on the bill was Chief Eagle Hone, a irenulne Indian bari tone, who contributed aa his part of the entertainment a remarkable sons: production. Chief Eagle Horse, whose other name is Charles Cutter, is well known to many Portland people, and possesses the distinction of being- the only genuine Indian singer on the American stage, but his real claim to merit lies in his possession of a splen did snd effective personality. The programme had other claims to credit in the "Eternal Mother," a re markable Blograph, and "Lead, Kindly Light." an Edison film on the highest moral principle, together with two comedies. "The Modern Liar" and "The Haunted Room." That Trio made Its usual vocal hit. The programme at the Star, in its way, was equally remarkable, with four splendid films and. Frank Milano, an Italian harpist of rare excellence, together with the Romlg twins, the harmony slnirers. The photoplays were excellent. "The Meeting of the Ways" was unusually effoctlve, as were The Trosecutlng Attorney," a thrilling story replete with stirring climaxes. "Bill's Bill." a laughable comedy, and the maneuvers of the French army. The Arcade -Theater also offered an entertainment even better than usual, consisting of "A Question of Seconds," a thrilling melodrama; "St- Johns, Newfoundland." the home of tha fish ing Industry; "Willie's Sister," a col lege comedy on bright and original lines; "The Ragtime Love Affair," farcical, and "The Infancy of Moses," a Blbllc&l picture clearly portraying an episode In the life of the great Hebrew law giver. The programme was also distinguished by the Initial appearance of the Arcadian trio, who sang well and made a substantial hit. At the Oh Joy Theater the manage ment presented "The Horse Thief," an exciting drama; "The O'Neill," the scenes of which are laid in Ireland; "Paid in His Own Coin," a dramatic sketch, and Elwood, who appeared in a new song hit. Tha Tlvoll Theater had as a head liner, "Two Girls and a Man," a clever drama; "General Dast," and "The Kiss ing Pill." real comedies, and several other fine, features, as well as Arthur Elwell. who sang a pleasing song. The audience at the Crystal was unusually large, and all appreciated the excellent programme offered by that popular East Side photoplay theater. STORM DANGERS BRAVED 3EAILCAKRIEB HAS XARROW ES CAPE FROM DEATH. Trees Crash Around C. M. Bailey, Who Rides Through Tempest With Letters to Aschoff's. With the tempest roaring about him and tree tops falling on all sides, C. M. Bailey, mail carrier for the district near Marmot' made his way Saturday, January with the mall to Aschoff's. He took his life In hand and was in danger every minute of being crushed by falling trees. He left Sandy with the 'mall In the morning with a two horse vehicle and managed with great difficulty to reach the home of George Hoffman. The storm continued to Increase In violence, and Mr. Hoffman advised Bailey not to attempt to proceed, as he certainly would be killed or perish In the cold and sleet. It looked as if no living thing could breast the storm and get through. The road is through the timber for a considerable distance, and a gale was sweeping through the bending and groaning trees. Bailey, however, was not to be stopped. Leaving one horse and the wagon at Hoffman's, he disappeared the mist snd timber, riding one horse and carrying the mall. Pushing on till he reached tha McCaber camp, near the road, the top of a tall fir tree was broken off by the wind and started to fall directly down on the mallcarrler. It seemed that nothing could save Bailey and the horse from being crushed, but the horse, startled by the crash of the splintered tree, suddenly sprang forward Into the deep mud and slippery snow and fell directly In the path of the falling tree top. In an Instant, when Bailey expected the tree to strike him, the little mus tang sprang to hla feet and Jumped forward as the tree came down and carried himself and rider safely through. The tree came down on the ground, where Bailey and the horse a second before were struggling in the mud, brushing tha mallcarrler with the outer limbs Canned Goods by Dozen or Case No Better "We emphasize "Quality," "Purity" and prompt service, along with our extremely low prices.

CRAFT TOTAL LOSS Schooner Admiral Split Fore and Aft on Peacock Spit. WRECKAGE DRIFTS ASHORE Vessel Not Insured, It Is Bellered. Original Cost of Construction. $50,000 Boat 19 Tears Old. Captain Loses - Cash. ASTORIA. Or., Jan. 14. (Special.) The hull of the wrecked achooner Admiral, which ran through the Co lumbia River Jetty yesterday, has split fore and aft by bumping on Peacock Bplt, and the greater portion of It is now close to the beach at the short sand strip between McKenzle Head and Cape Disappointment, but too far out to be reached at low water. Another sec tion of the hull Is lying oft the Head, almost under the middle battery at Fort Canby. A large quantity of wreckage, prin cipally of light stuff, but nothing of value, has come ashore near Canby. It Is now certain that the craft Is a total loss and that nothing can. be saved from her. In addition to clothing and other personal effects. Captain Bender lost 60 gold sovereigns and two gold watches, one of them belonging to his wife, which were In a desk in the cabin. As near as can be learned the vessel was not insured, as the Pacific Ship ping Company, the owner, carries its own insurance. The Admiral cost about $50,000 12 years ago, and at the time she was wrecked was valued at $20,000. Her cargo capacity was $00,000 feet of lum ber. CHARTER RATE IS ADVANCED German Ship Kleo to Load Wheat Here for United Kingdom. . Another advance In the grain rate for sailing vessels Is evidenced by the chartering yesterday of the German ship Kleo to load wheat from Portland for the United Kingdom. M. H. Houser takes the Kleo at 31s Dd. The last previous sail charter for the same busi ness received SOs 8d. The Kleo arrived at Callao -ccember 15 from Antwerp, and will sail for Portland this week. This is the highest charter of the present season, and tile price Is not likely to drop, aa the sail ing tonnage available Is scarce at the present time and little In sight to handle this season's crop. Crowds Watch High Waters. Attracted by the high water In the river, the different bridges were crowd ed Sunday afternoon with sightseers watching the swlft-runnlng current that carried an Immense amount of driftwood, trees and an occasional hay stacks The sea. gulls soon were at tracted by the crowds, and came by the hundreds aa some person began throw ing broken crackers into the river to watch them fight for It. TWs example was soon taken up by others, and con tinued until the supplies of the stores in that vicinity were exhausted. Jlember of Carlos' Crew Hurt.
