MORE IMMIGRATION,
According to the preparations and
the statements of both railroads and
large real estate firms, there will
be a greater influx of colonists and
jomeseekers to Oregon, this year,
ban during any previous year of the
tate's history. Oregon in general
ind Wallowa county in particular
are glad to know of this.

Enterprise was so named becauflB

by a determination of enterprise.

would not do anything. But for the

Enterprise and all Waillowa coun-
y offer untold promises of wealth

latural resources. '
If It la true, as we have noi doubt,
hat the present year will witness

Wallowa county will get and merit
