ELGIN GREETINGS
DELIGHT PORTLAND
TRADE VANGUARD
4 By Fred liockley
(Joarnt Staff Correspondent)
- Elgin, Or., Oct. 21. The bats of
Portland visitor of the Eastern Ore
s' or trade excursion are off to the
citizens of Elgin. Particularly to
. the ladle of the Elgin Improvement
club. We were met at our train by
a delegation of Elgin business men
and escorted to the K. P. hall, where
we sat down to fried chicken, baked
apples, hot biscuits and honey, and
were given a royal welcome.
' The entertainment wtt under the
; anaptcas of the Klgln'Ad club, of which
Frank KeUer Is president. Dr. G. R.
Vehrs. the chairman of the entertain
ment committee, acted as toastmaster.
He introduced ties Tuttle, a native son
of Elgin, who made the address of wel
come. He told us of the rich wheat dis
tricts on Cricket flat and Elk flat ; of
'the profitable orchards ; of the cattle and
hogs and hay on which the prosperity of
Klein is founded.
Fred Krausse responded in behalf of
Portland. Frank Smith, a long time
resident of Elgin, told of the old days
when all freight came to The Dalles by
1 boat and from there by freight team to
Elgin of the days when all passenger
traiflc was by stage and of the growth
of the country.
O: J. Freeman spoke of the good will
of Portland wholesalers for the mer
chants of the state. The mayor, E. G.
Bailey, and others also spoke.
Three cheers were given for the Ladles'
Improvement club, of which' Mrs. L.
W. Denham Is president and Mrs.
Lottie Klefer Is secretary. It takes a
lot of civic spirit In a town to shut up
shop 'for a forenoon and serve breakfast
for 100 hungry tourists. But Elgin has
the civic spirit and was host to Portland.
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. We
baVe Sat down to some moxt excellent
banquets, but Enterprise made good her
name In the banquet served the Portland
business men. 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. Ben Weathers
acted as chairman. Mayor A. C. Miller
. dwelt on the fact that we were kinsmen
and our Interests were Identical. O. W.
Mlclke responded for the Portland vis
itors. W. F. Savin, president of the Chamber
of Commerce, told of splendid work toe
ing done by, the 200 live wires of the
organisation. C. C. Colt harked back
to hla former livestock connection and
-discussed the future livestock industry.
O. W. Hyatt, pioneer merchant and
... president of the M. & M. company, told
of the early history of Wallowa county
. and took a most hopeful view of the
future of Wallowa valley. McCoke gave
: some statistics of the reserves of Wal-
Iowa county. Fred E. Greenwood told' of
Jhe work of the Federal Reserve bank.
, J. H. Dobbin, Wallowa county's heaviest
, taxpayer and one of the leading stock
men, spoke of how Portland can help
Wallowa county. Bruce Cox discussed
, Wallowa county problems. Robert E.
Smith told of Oregon's legislative and
economic problems. F. A. Clarke dis-
, cussed what the prosperity and enter
prise of Wallowa county means to Port
land. Short Impromptu talks were made
' by others. The Portland speakers are

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

lake at all times is a vision of beauty,
but with the new fallen snow making a
spotless mantle about the lake it looks
like an emerald set in newly mounted
silver.
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.

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. With good roads
we will be able to make our scenic re
sources accessible . and the coming of
tourists will mean more investment and
more settlers. F. A. Spence, William D.
Stubbs and William Blayton also spoke.
