ENTERPRISE WELL DESERVES " ITS NAME. FACTS SHOW , Enterprise, Oct. II. Enterprise Is well named. If ever a community showed enterprise it Is the county seat of Wal Iowa county. A score of years ago I used to come here by stage from KIgtn. In the old days I have ridden all over the county on horseback, so I have wit nessed the transition of the county from a livestock country to one of diversified farming. Today, in addition to the herds of pure blood cattle and the big bands of sheep, one sees, silos and dairies, orchards and gardens and thousands of acres of irrl- ' - gated land, growing alfalfa and other "' crops. The past few years has wrought won . derful changes not only In Wallowa county but In Enterprise and the other communities In the valley. Today the Portland visitors spent a delightful half hour as gueets of the Enterprise high school, where Cole Commons made a short address. We were taken by autos over the city, over their only completely paved streets, . which have been laid at a cost of (360, 000,, New. business blocks and new resl , dences are in evidence on all sides.

At Enterprise we are f the guests of the city and if ever I knew the meaning of the term "hospi tality, it Is Enterprise. The banquet was served In the new brick block of the Enterprise M. & M. company which, by the way, Is one of the most modern and - best built business blocks in the state outside of Portland.

PORTLAND ERS IN SNOWBALL FIGHT OX WALLOWA LAKE By Fred Loekley Joseph. Oct. 21. Though Portland and JosepH are 373 miles apart, the speak ers at the luncheon given by the citi zens of Joseph to the business men of Portland conclusively proved that Joseph has a warm place in its heart for the metropolis of the state, as has Portland for Joseph. When our special pulled into Joseph at 11 a. m., Wednesday, we found a long line of autos parked at the depot to take us to Wallowa lake, a mile dis tant. Six Inches or more snow had fallen the preceding day. The bright sunshine reached from the towering peaks that overlook the valley made a sight worth coming across the state to Bee. Wallowa OUR AIM!

BATTLE WITH SNOWBALLS To see the Portlanders throwing snow balls at each other like a lot of schol boys, one would never suppose they were a bunch of staid and settled mer chants and bankers. If a man could not forget his dignity a handful of snow down his back or a soft snowball under the ear soon made him almost human. . e As we looked up to the sharply ser rated glittering peaks that encircled the lake, it was easy to understand why Wallowa county is called the "Switzer land of the West." Above Wallowa lake, nestled in the deep valleys and craters, are 14 more lakes, many, of them, like Ice lake, filled with hungry trout wait ing to match their wits with those of the fisherman. It is one of Oregon's many scenic tourist resorts that, when it grows more accessible, will become world famous. Good Shoes For Less Corns here to save the . most on. your shoes.

As we came on the train from Wallowa to Joseph on both sides of the track were shocks of wheat covered with snow picturesque as a sight but not particular ly pleasing to the farmers who are wait ing favorable weather. The men of Wallowa are pioneers who are used to making the best of things, and they met fate with a smile. The chances are that they will soon be able to thresh their wheat and oats, and but little will be lost. We were served a luncheon by the citi zens of Joseph. Chairman Will Morelock Introduced. H. M. Smartwood, who made lihe address of welcome. He told of the 40,000 irrigated' acres and their diversi fied products and of the 20,000 acres under dry farming. "We have the best llvestdck range in the West," he said. "In the Wallowa national forest we can range 30,000 cattle and 180,000 sheep. We have lumber, livestock, grain, dairying and untold quantities of marble and building stone. Portland is bur outlet.
