Now that there are. many nartlei fishing on Wallowa river, and on the Minam, It is interesting to note thai the word "Wallowa" means "fish trap" in the Indian tongue, says the La Grande Star. Years ago, during the time of the Josephs In Wallowa county, the Indians were accustomed to catchtn many fishes in Wallowa river with traps. These traps were left from one season to the next on the banks of the river, and the old timers aay that thea traps looked like crosses standing out In the distance. The present spe ling of the worj "Wallowa" was adopted In 1866. A party of surveyors under Willia-n '";, , 'terrd V . of ren. had 8 H.

"Wnat ,s tha nam of thla river?-" asked one o: the surveyors, paint lng to the majestic waters thunder Ing be!ow them. "Wal-lo-wa," replied a brave ir gutteral voice, making three dlj tlnct syllables of th word. "Take out your pencils and wrl that down, b3ys," said William H ODflU. Almost every member of the sj veylng plirty did as requested, an banded his word to O'Dell. Two men had spelled the name "Wallowa and this orthography was according ly adopted. One of those who spel -ed the name "Wallowa" was L.J. Rouse, one of Enterprise's most e teemed citizens, who died in Port land two years ago last spring. Hi memory is honored and reverence as one who gave the better part o his life to. the development of the county whose name he first transfe: rea rrom the Indian to the EnglUl language.
