TOE! RICHARDSON DAY IS ONE OF
DEEP VALUE TO ALL WALLOWA
Address for the "Booster"
Campaign for Wallowa
County Well Re
ceived. ADVERTISING FUND IS
STARTED OFF SNAPPILY
Banquet In the Evening Ona of thp
Most Splendid Occasions In
Local History.
If any one bad fallen Into the no
tion that Wallowa county was either
od' or that she sleepjtta, he
Ua.l the bind aifhts knocked off that
ri:on Thursday night, when Tom
Uichardson came to Enterprise and
islted about the county briefly,
KHYt a booster talk, and attended a
banquet In the evening at the Hotel
J-'nierpiise. The wide-awake enthusi
asm ihsl greeted him on his arrival;
tUv enthusiasm which greeted him
L. hose whom he met at Joseph;
'h-j tjthusiasm ,wkh which the busi
ngs men and commercial club re
srinded to his sLftrlng appeal for
a letter developed Wallowa county;
aj i the enthusiasm which again met
him at the banquet In the evening
a; c which bade him godspeed and a
Btfe retura to Wallowa county In the
near future theve ""were the mani
festations that did the county s-afs
big heart good. They laid bare Just
the spirit that haa been, at work and
still is at workbullding up Wallowa
cotnty.
Entertain Tom,
Vi, Richardson jvas met at the
afternoon train by a com m kttee from
the Commercial club In automobile,
and taken immediately to the hotel.
He was then take 1 on a sight-seelug
tour to Joseph, the like, ami
l olnts in, and about Joesph and
terprlse, mounting promontories t"
gat long views of the valley and f
Burroundlng country, and was retun
ed to Enterprise in the evening.
Owning to the heavy ram just b"
fore the epfcaking at the opera
house, it was for a time feared that
a damper would be put on the meet
ing, but the people from Lostlae, Jo
seph and in and arund Enterprise
came bravely forth, giving an excel
lent hearing. Tom launched into
the business of boosting for Oregon
and continued in k for nearly two
hours. He said things that stirred
every Oregon heart with deep pride.
He gave statistics that opened every
Oregon mind with surprised enthusl
aam. And he concluded by starting
an advertising fund that ,wM be con
trolled and dispensed by a committee
composed of those who donated It,
ali to the advantage and settlement
and growth of Wallowa county.
Some of the statistics- given by Mr.
Richardson will tear much empha
sis. For example: Oregon is grow
ing faster than, any section of the
whole world, right now. An Oregon
city has the biggest commercial club
In the world fifty per cent, bigger
than the second club of the .world.
Oregon towns and cities show the
most rapid growth of any towns and
cities In the world. And the rural
or farm districts are CTOwiwt faster
n n. riian the towns and cities
here.

thU time to quota Tom at length.
Let It suffice to say that be held
representative of, Wallowa county
present for two Uaurs, hurling forth
sledge hammer facts that i were in
disputable, and teavir.g every Indi
vidual present a' better Oregotiian,
a more conscientious worker for
Oregon, and a stronger patriot of
Wallowa county.
Advert aing Fund.
At the close of the booster speech
Mt. Richardson started an adver
tising fund. This fund la to be con
trolled by a committee of those- who
donate it and disbursed .by 8uc,n
I oammiUee, the committee also to be
selected by the donors. In this man
ner, as Mr. Richardson explained, the
men who form the fund can know
that the money is not disadvantage
ous. spent. It will be devoted ex
clusively to advertising Wallowa
county In eastern sections.
Business Men Respond.
Enterprise bus! :e men responded
at once to the call for such a fund,
G. W. Hyatt leading the list with a
generous donation of $23 a month for
one year, follow! by Cahsier W. R.
Holmes of the local bank with a
simUar monthly donation. W. J.
I ''Funk responded wi-h a donation of
$15 a month for. a year, and thusi the
! nucleus was formed, and It was the
desire merely to get the matter
started at that time, when the busi
ness men and local Commercial club
can continue ihe work. There is
not a vestige of doubt that a large
advertising fund will from now on
be created yearly, and that, as Tom
pointed out, It wi'.l prove the bfrt
busings Investment for the cities
of Enterprise, Joseph, Lostine and
Wallowa and the entire county, that
aver was made. It will throw immi
gration into Wallowa county; set
tle np the productive acre3 here;
add to tha county's production; en
large bank accounts,busine3 volume,
and "make two leaves of grass trow
where but one is growing now."
The Banquet.
It would be hard to say too much
of the banquet at the Hotel Enter
prise, .where Host Blanchard did him
self proud and not only pleased but
delighted everybody present. An
other decidedly aplendldfeaiture of
the banquet was the presence of
nine members of the Improvement
League, under the direction of Mrs.
Dr. Moore, as waitresses. The la
dies started out to earn a dollar each
nine dollars for the league, to be
given to the cemetery improvement
fund. They devoted their services
U that end, with that intention.
But on explanation of the situation
Ly Toastmaster Daniel Boyd, the
banqueters "warmei" to the idea,
and "tipped" the ladies to the addl-
.tional sum of $37.00, making a to
Ital of $W.O0 for the cemetery im
provement fund.
I This work of the temporary watt
! resses was the crowning glory of
the whole event. It Illustrated pre
I ci8ely what M r. Richardson had said,
: that the ladies as helpers of tha bus-
Iness men, are simply Invaluable
and indispensable. R illustrated
what the ladle s can do in becoming
an auxiliary force to the local Com
mercial club,

It wa the first experience of them
all in such work, not an accident
nor an incident occurred to tnar the
clock-Like work of thla coterie of

Six Course, Dinner.
Host and Hostess Blanchard did
themseloa proud m the six-course din
ner. It was dainty throughout. There
were no long waits. Everything was
"In hand" from start to finteh, and
it was simply fine.
The Speaker.
Attorney Daniel Boyd served as
toastmaster, and acquitted himself
ably, humorously, and wKh a rep
artee riht off the reel for every
congenial dig- from the tables. At
torney Burleigh, Attorney Trill of
Joseph, W. H. Dilworth and Attor
ney D. W. Sheahan responded to
loaats, with numerous speakers call
ed upon to lend wisdom and bright
ness to the occasion. Among the lat
ter were Judge Crawford of La
Grande, Judge Knowles of the same
ity, Tom Richardson of Portjand,
and F. A. Clarke of "six miles this
ide of Joseph." Mr. Clarke - has
an Inimitable style that Ingratiates
his words Into the minds of every
body and makes him a host of
friends.
The banquet was completed about
o'clock, and those present reluct
antly bade their guest, Tom Richard
son, adieu, first giving him three
cheers and a "tiger." The latter
received the hearty compliment with
pleasure and deep feeling, and the
SO persons representing the 80 cov
ers at the banquet board, filed off
o their homes with a new spirit
awakened in them and a new deter
mination to labor for Wallowa
;OiHlty.

F
ORE CARRYING VALUES IN TIN,
GOLD, 8ILVER WITH TRACE
OF PLATINUM.
A most Interesting story hang
like a veil around the mineral
claims filed upon, last week by T. I.
RatclUf and J. W. Nednow In Wal
lowa county, some 20 miles north of
Enterprise The story Is as follows:
Some 20 yeara ago Mr. Ratcllff and
Mr. Ned raw were hunting big game
In the kc0llty where the claims are
now flW upon," and In scouting for
game on horseback Mr. Rate 1J ft
found some rock that oppeared to
be mineralized and that differed con
siderably from any local rock. Pick
ing up a few bits of "float" .he
brought them Into the camp the men
had made, and the rocks were ex
amined. Little or nothing was done
at the lime, nnd Mr. IUtcliff went
to Salem where he has since re
mained. 8ae Similar Rock.
Just recently Mr. Ratclift stepped.
Into an ami averse office In Sukyip,
and while there observed some rock
r.hkh bore a striking resemblance
to that dlHcovered 20 years ago whUe'
he and hli old army chum, Mr. Ned
row, .were hunting lit Wallowa coun
ty. Finding that the specimens in
the assayer's office carried values
In tin, Mr. Ratdlff came to Enter
prise, and together with his army
chum went Into the old hunting
grounds again, rediscovered the min
eral k-dge, took samples for atsy,
and found that the rock carries at
the very But see a trace of plati
num, plenty of iron, f 1.10 in siilver,
$2,150 in gold, and a trace of tin.
The gentlemen Immediately went
down some nine feet on, the vein
and took out a bag of ore samples -that
will be assayed to doterrolue
Just how the mineral run as the
vein descends.
Sample at this. Office.
Mr. Nodrow kindly left a aam pie
of the ore at this office, which can
be seen by anybody so interested.
It shows a talky trace, like chalk
dust, la portions, giving good profn
Ise of carrying platinum. With depth
there la probably no doubt that ,
these gentlemen will find that they
have discovered a primary deposit of
everlasting low grade ore; and when
It l remembered thut the primary
deposit la the prospeot that makes
the big producer, there la room for
hopes of niine.al development north
