SAM PACE BUY8 HALF
INTEREST IN O. R. &
CO.
There Is probably no man who
knows the land of Wallowa county
like ex-Assessor Sam Pace. He has
been on nearly every quarter section
for valuation purposes, and It seems
natural and fitting that he should
go into the real estate business. He
has bought a half interest in the
well known O. R. & I. company, L.
E. Jordan, who organized and has
been connected with it ever since, re
tainlng the other half Interest.

ment of this great county. '
Plan For County
Choral Society
MUSIC LOVERS TALKING OF SUM
MER MUSIC FESTIVAL WITH
150 CHORUS'
Music lovers in Enterprise arc dis
cussing plans looking to the organiza
tion of a Choral society to Include
singers from every part of Wallowa
county, the intention being to unite
the various sections Into one grand
chorus of at least 150 voices, in a
summer music festival extending ovoi
two or three days. If the singers
of the county will unite Jn the mat
ter, it is proposoJ to engage Pro',
oyer, of Portland, who will give his
undivided attention to the training of
the chorus , during the months of
July and August. The good results
of such training by a man of Prof.
Boyer's exceptional ability are so ap
parent as to require no demonstra
tion, Prof. Bpyer is now at work with
the Portland chorus for the annual
spring festival to be hold in that
city in March next. The chorus num
bers 50J and everything points to a
triumphant success.
In the New Year's issue of the
Oregonian, Frederick W. Goodrich,
president of tho Portland Festival
chorus, contributes ' the . following,
which will ' doubtless Interest Prof.
Boyer's many friends In Wallowa
county: "Here In Portland is a
permanent choraj organization which
those In charge) have determined o
make the be3t of its kind In the Pa
clflc West. . Composed of many of
the finest musicians in the city, it
cannot fall to exercise a powerful
Influence on the, musical life of the
entire section. It would be making
lnvlduous comparisons to mention the
names of the many professional mu
sicians who sing in its ranks, but
every musician in the city, worthy of
the name, s either singing or exert
ing a pqweful influence in Us favor.
The director is Wm; H. Bayer, a vet
eran in the cause of chqral music.
A fine trainer and brilliant chorus
master, no one is more fitted than
he to direct such an organization."

RECIPROCITY.
From the Wallowa Sun.
"Trade at home because it pays,"
says the local merchant. Perhaps
he is right, but carry it a little
farther and patronize the merchant
who gets his printing done at home,
who uses home productions of flour
and lumber. Read your home paper
and trade with the men who ad
vertise there. Then . see whose ox
Is gored?

L
OF
COYOTE BOUNTY CONTINUED
HOPE TO GET BACK $1000
FROM COUNTY.
Tte Wallowa County Woolgrowers
association met in the directors'
room of the Wallowa National bank
In this city, Monday. There was a
large attendance of prominent flock
masters. . Hon. J. H. Dobbin and
Thos. Morgan were re-elected presi
dent and secretary of the associa
tion, respectively.
An assessment of one-half cent a
head on the 192,630 sheep in the
county was levied to continue the
$1.50 bounty on coyote scalps. It Is
believed this fund will be swelled by
about $1000 from the county, which
was given by the wool men several
years ago in the expectation that the
state would give a bounty. That act
of the legislature was turned down
and the money contributed by the
Wallowa woolgrowers sent to our
county court, which has since held
it. The statutes provide the court
may at its option give a bounty, and
the present court will be asked to
do so, thus returning the money to
the purpose for which it was oi lg
inally contributed.
The resolutions in regard to forest
reserve and the tariff adopted by
tha state association at the Hepp-
ner mesting were endorsed with
i.he further recommendation that all
grazing land in the national forests
not covered with timber be n1
oat from the reserve.
