For 49 hogs yesterday, weighing lot over 200 pounds each, the Bak ir Packing company paid an Eagle falley farmer 1755. There is nothing so remarkable About the fact itself, but it does in licate the high prices obtaining, ant' .he scarcity; of Baker county porkers Work it out mathematically and i' is almost impossible to fond a reas on for such scarcity, for the Bakei valley should be one of the best hot district in Oregon. Tet on the other hand the pack ing company hag purchased every Available porker in the county foi the next month and still has a great scarcity. Where a year ago the company had 18.000 pounds of lard. yeUer day there was only 600 pounds li the, shops. They cannot supply Bak er county's needs with Baker's pork ers npt nearly j Tet conditions here are almost ideal for hog raising! By running the shoats on alfalfa until they reach 150 pounds in weight and then turning them into tha fat tening pens on a ration of wheat, ac cording to the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Staticn, the farmers can put on the firit 150 pounds of weight at t cents per pound, and can add the next 100 so that the wheat fed will pay them in pork we-ght at the rate of 1 1.50 per bushel. Under such conditions there axe scores of ranchers in Baker county most adroiiaWy fitted to raise the plebeian hog with great profit far greater than they are getting from their alfalfa and grain under their present system of marketing their crops as crops yet for some reason there are very few who will pay any attention to that phase of their basis ess. constitatljBal convention would assemble solely for the purpose of doing away with the power of the people to legist xte for themselves. The convention would have the power to proclaim a inr eootskution with, out a popular Tote. Why risk K? We ean amend now, a and when van ted.

INVESTORS and LAND All over the Northwest are talking of Wal lowa Count' and the wonderfully fertile lands here that can be bought cheaper than similar land anywhere in the Inland Empire. There is no fairer land in all the Inter-Mountain region and'no section with richer and more varied resources. Even-thing is here. Fertile land for grain, hay, sugar beets, vegetables, fruit; abundance of water, splendid climate, greatest body of timber in Eastern Oregon, un rivaled winter and summer range, great stock country and the mountains- full of minerals. Wallowa County has Just Begun to Grow Enterprise is the county seat, largest town and commercial capital of all these resources. As grows the county, so will Enterprise grow. It is growing now, rapidly and substantially. Hundred Thousand Dollars Worth of Improvements under way this season.

You Make the Best Move of Your Life When You Locate in Enterprise The Emperor's Orderly. Frenchmen of every rank and class dearly love titles.

On look ing ovi-r thte be wag a good deal pu tled and amused by the visiting card the efiYe "boy," an old soldier from the Iuvalides. who was employed to ojen the office doors from 9 to 4. Under the man's name was the title "the emierir'8 orderly." He sent for the old soldier, who stumped in and saluted. "Of what emperor are yon the order 'y, and how?" he asked. The old In valide drew hiinsWf np to attention. "I am the orderly of the emperor." he said, "Napoleon, le Tetit Corporal." "But he is dead. He has been dead some time," answered the puzzled manager. "I dust Lis tomb for him." growled the old soldier. London Express. No Morals in Dreamland. If. as many writers have suggested.
