WALLOWA.
By the Enterprise Press.
The soil is deeper, fairer, in Wallowa,
Old allowa;
And the air is purer, rarer, in Wallowa;
The streams are ever clearer,
The blue skies are ever nearer,
And the bird songs always dearer,
In Wallowa.'
Oh, the hills are green and rolling, in Wallowa,
Old Wallowa,
And the tncu itain shoulders bowling o'er Wallowa;
Pine forests quiver lighth',
And the stars shine ever brightly,
While the gay moon swoons on nightly,
In Wallowa.
The peach bloom and the apple, in Wallowa,
Fair Wallowa,
Dot the green with pink and dapple, in Wallowa;
Here the virgin soil is crying,
Here the mineral is lying, -Here
the spirit never dj-ing
Of Wallowa!

Henry Clay's Eloquence.
It was the remark of a distinguished
senator that Henry Clay's eloquence
' absolutely intangible to delinea
tion, dial the most labored description
could not embrace it and that to tie
understood It must lie seen and felt.
He was an i-ratur by nature. HI eagle
eye burned with patriotic ardor or
flashed imlir.aliou and defiance unco
hi foes or was suffused with tears of
commiseration or of pity, aud It was
because he felt that he made others
feel. A gentleman after hearing one
of his magulliceiit efforts in the senate
thus described him: -Every muscle of
the orator's face was at work. Ills
whole body seemed agitated, as If
each part was instinct with a separate
life, and his stun II. white baud, with
its blue veius apparently distended al
most to bursting, moved gracefully,
but with all the energy of rapid and
vehement gesture. The appearance of
the K)eaker seemed that of a pure In
tellect wrought up to its mightiest en
ergies and brightly xtiinlug through the
tbiu and transparent veil of flesh that
Invested It." St. Louis Republic.
Cleanliness In Persia.
The Persian spends hours In the
"ham munis" (Turkish baths), which
are very haudsome buildings decorated
with tiles and embeHished with nu
merous exhortations as to the value of
cleanliness. The smallest Tillage in
Persia bas-lts hammain." and bathing
is almost a religious function. When
the hot room and massage are finished
the Persia u is shaved, and the whole
top of bis bead is likewise shaved,
tbongb the hair over the ears Is left
and allowed to grow down to the neck.
This strange coiffure hits a religious
meaning, for the two locks on each
side of the head are meant for the an
gel of death to hold when be carries
the believer to paradbe. All Persians
dye their hair with a mixture of henna
and vesmeb. and the hair dyeing Is the
last part of the bath, but tea and
smoking are Indulged In afterward,
and the frequenters of the "haminams
find them very pleasant lounging
places. Chicago Journal.
A Whale's Breathing.
An eminent naturalist says concern
lug the breathing apparatus of the
whale: "The windpipe does not com
municate with the mouth. A hole Is,
as It were, bored right through the
back of the bead. Engineers would
do well to copy the action of the valve
of the whale's blowhole. A more per
fect piece of structure It Is Impossible
to Imagine. Day and night, asleep op
awake, the whale works Its breathing
apparatus In such a manner that not
a drop of water ever gets down Into
the lungs. Again, the whale must of
necessity stay a much longer period
under water than seals. This alone
might possibly drown him. as the
lungs cannot have access to fresh air.
We find that this difficulty has been
anticipated and obviated by a peculiar
reservoir lu the venous system, which
reservoir is situated at the back of the
lungs."
Is the Universe Running Down?
It is absolutely Vertaln that the ma
chinery of the solar system Is running
down. The earth, with Its muss of
three thousand trillion tons, moving
through space a thousand times faster
than the express train goes. Is being
retarded by the friction of the atmos
phere and tides to the extent that It
loses about an hour In 10.000 years, a
very slow process. It would seem, but
one that will Inevitably bring the
earth to a standstill ultimately. Aud
what Is true of the earth Is true of all
the worlds and suns. Sir Isaac New
ton maintained that the motions of all
bodies In space suffer retardation and
that their velocity Is steadily becom
ing less and will finally cease. Solar
systems, like everything else, have
their time to be born and their time to
die. New York American. "

Our Few Real Needs.
As civilization aud culture make peo
r'e more prosperous and more comfort
able they are prone to forget how few
aud simple their real needs are. We
need sleep, but not much of It. and
most of us are asleep exactly when
w ought most of all to be awake. We
need food, but It Is not necessary that
food should be cunningly disguised
with a thousand devices to tickle the
Jaded and surfeited palate, for the
main trouble Is that we eat too much
and not too little. We need clothes to
near, but the one suit of fur that lasts
certain animals all their lives Is so
beautiful that some men spend their
whole time In search of It. We need
heaven and the sense of a higher pow
er directing our lives and our desti
nies, but we speud most of our time
refuting and denying the possibility of
anything bigger or better than we are.
We need the Jove of friends, and
therefore It Is the more strange that
we should spend our time not In Im
proving ourselves, but In decorating
our bodies, filling them with food and
hustling tbem about over the earth In
search of ever freshing seusatlona.

The Poor Fish.
This melancholy tragedy happened
In Holland. A fisherman who caught
a salt herring placed the fish In a tub
full of salt water. Every day he took
out some of the salt water and re
placed It with fresh. In a few days he
had the herring living lu fresh water.
But. not content at stopping here, he
decided to try another plan. Every
day be took a little water out of the
rub until none was left, and the her
ring was still alive. The next course
was walking. In a month or so the
herring bad developed feet and learn
ed to walk, and he accompanied his
master on his journeys. One day as
they were crossing over a narrow
bridge the herring caught sight of the
water. Reminiscences of former days
flashed through his head, and he re
solved to try the water. But while
still gazing at It he fell In. and before
his master could aid him he was.
drowned. Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The Verdict.
The lecture was over, and the gen
tletnau who did the talking strained
his ears as he followed the audience
out of the ball to gather In. so far as
be could, what sort of an Impression
he had made. As be drew near to the
Udoorway two old gentlemeu who were
making their way out Just ahead of
him rendered a verdict.
"Well. Raukside." said one of tbem,
"what did you tbluk of It?"
"I've beard worse." sajd Baukslde.
"Did you thiuk it was at all Illumi
nating?" asked the other.
"In an old fashioned way. yes," re
plied the venerable Bankslde.
"I don't quite catch your point," said
the questioner.
"Why, It was Illuminating, but it
struck me as having more gas than
electricity about it," explained the
critic Judge.
The First Telegraph Line.
After the formal opening of the first
telegraph line built for commercial
purposes between Washington and
Baltimore Professor Morse and bis as
sociates offered to sell the Invention to
the United States government for
$100,000. but the price was considered
too high. The government bad appro
priated $30,000 toward the construction
of tbe Washington-Baltimore line, but
after a short period of operation tbe
postmaster general, to whom President
Polk had referred the. matter, wrote,
"Although the Invention Is an agent
vastly superior to any other devised by
the genius of man. yet tbe operation
between Washington and Baltimore
has not 'satisfied me that under any
rate of postage that can be adopted Its
revenues can be made to cover IU ex
penditures." 'The Onion.
Tbe onion has been so long In culti
vation that lis original form Is not def
initely known. There are so called
wild onions that grow in the woods.
Nobody ever tastes them but once, and
there is about tbe taste no suggestion
that cultivation or anything else could
ever make them grateful to tbe human
palate. In all probability the onion is
a native of western Asia and adjacent
parts of Africa, since it is meutioued
in old Egyptian writings and the Pen
tateuch. Tart Repartee.

ENTERPRISE AND WALLOWA COUNTY.
Enterprise is the growing, lively county seat of
Wallowa county. It is centrally situated in the
county. It will draw from the vast land and stock
and general agricultural and mineral resources of
the county, sumciently to become eventually a big"
inland county seat.
It is a city of generous, busy hustlers.
It is rapidly building up with stone building's.
In time it will be Known as the "Stone City."
Millions of the best building' stone, soft and
free from lime and hardening on exposure, lie
within half a dozen miles of Enterprise.
There is water power enough flowing right
through the center of the city to run all the spin
dles and wheels of a great manufacturing center.
Enterprise is surrounded by as fine wheat land
as lies out of doors.
It draws from
America.
