Curtis, the premier news paper correspondent of the world, was in Wallowa Valley Tuesday afternoon and night. He came lu General Passenger Agent Mc.Murray's private car attached to the regular train, visited Wallowa Lake, and went out Wednesday morning. He was accom-! panted by Mrs. Curtis and their daughter. Mr. Curti? Is the greatest traveler and writer of travels in the world today. For over a score of years his daily letters on the first page of the Chicago Record, and since the con solidation, of the Chicago Record Herald, has been eagerly watched for by hundreds of thousands of people. He speaks dally in a personal sense to the largest and most intelligent audience of any writer In the world. His letters are the "making' of any ccene of natural beauty that he choos es to describe. His. description of Crater Lake made that greatest of natural wonders known to the world. As a word painter he has no equal, yet hlg tetters are remarkable as Stevenson's work, for their clear, limpid, elegant style. So it can be understood that the visit of Mr, Cur is is one of the greatest pieces of good luck that has happened to ths beautiful val ley, whose treasures have so Una; been hidden by its cloak of Isolation. In one day it will become famouB. Mr. Curtis is famous in other ways besides as a newspaper man. He was James G. Blaine's main depend ence in the attempt of that great statesman to draw closer together the republics qf North, South and Central America, and was secretary of the Bureau of American Republics. He has written many books of big circulation and is the Intimate and doubtless the confident of more of the great and powerful of earth than any other one man. He enjoys a princely salary and is a free lance to go wherever hi 3 Inclination may lead, his sole duty being, and that a voluntary one, to write a letter a day for Victor F. Lawson, which is published in Lawson's Chicago Record Herald, in many respects the best of newspapers. Thompson Miller.
