The games of last Sunday played
in the Two-County league Wfl Elgin
in firs; place. Enterprise In second.
La Grande in third and Joseph in
four.h. The games bo:h between La
Grande and Enterprise and between
Elgin and Joseph were good games.
But that played on the home grounds
here, resulting in a score of 1 to 0
in favor ofLa Grande and against En
terprise, was one of the bes;. ball
games ever witnessed in eastern Or
egon. Both teams got down to the
brass tacks of ta'.l playing from the
start. The weather condition was
against the exielient playing, but
the excellent playing kept right on.
A high wind aroe and dropped pop
overs squarely into fielders" mits.
but the boys kepi right on ciout
Ir.g the ball. A flurry of rain de
scended but the players on both
sides grimly stuck to the field,
"burnt" the sphere here and there,
aud held grimly to the business of
playing ball.
At the conclusion La Grande got
on even break in safe hits with En
terprise, four each. And the visi
tors pulled down and took back home
with them one s.ore which spelled
victory.
While Ent rpri-ie" is not going to
be defeated, if she can help it, even
by a score of 1 to 0, still a game
played on the margin of 1 to 0 is
an honor Co both sides.
Next Sunday Enterprise and Elgin
play at Enterprise.

LOCAL BUSINESS AND OTHER
MEN GOING TO PUT FORTH
BIG EFFORT.
The Wallowa county fair at Enter

question at present beore the peo
ple of Enterprise and very many
jutside in other townships. The
business men of this city have taken
the matter up, and have foregone
any Fourth of July, celebration in
order to devote all the more time
ind money to the holding of the
county fair here.
Material is Here.
The material for a successful coun
ty fair is here. All thw is needed
s to get representative agricultur
ists throughout the county interest
ed in the matier. along with the bus
iness men of this and all other
cities in the county, in order to
told a county fair that will be a
credit to the whole of Wallowa
:o'tnty.
Such a fair would be one of the
jiggest advertising "cards that could
be presented to the prospective eet
".lers of the future. It would be also
i source of Inspiration to every
Vallowa county farmer and stock
nan. The material already here will
eigh up and. score up and mark
up with that of any other counter in
Vmerica. We have mineral in this
county that would make one of the
finest displays of gold, silver, copper,
ime, aud other rock, in the world.
mines and mining section in the
"air could be established, to the ever
asting good of every resident of
he county fnd to the everlasting ad
vertisement of the county.
We have corn altitudes and cli
ua"es in the county where good
ara is raised annually. We have
.xeellint fruit altitudes ;.nd some of
he finest strawberries", apples and

Bring Them Together.
The county fair in Enterprise will
jring all these products together on
jxhlbition. For a visitor from the
Sast to "drop in" and view such an
xhibition would be for him, in many
nstances, to hurry back home, pack
ip, and hurry back to Wallowa coun
y to get in the swim where values
jrow while he sleeps and opportuni
ies are picked up daily every time
ie turns around if he is wide awake
ind industrious.
Such, a fair can be made to pay
ind clear expenses from the scan.
By getting representative farmers
t'or directors, every tqwnship will
Uave an interest in such a fair. Ev
jry township will be repr eented and
'ill take pride in being represented
n such a fair. And everybody in
he county will vie with everybody

grabbing the blue ribbons, and in at
ending such a fair. Let the work

made a Wallowa county institution,
v" h the shoulder of every Wal
owa county farmer and merchant
and professional man at the wheel
ind it .will move from the start and
move toward suceeis.
CONSIGNMENT OF "BOOZE"
TO COUNTY CHARGE
A lanre, juicy consijniment of
"booze" came several days ago to
ae of Sheriff Marvin's charges in
:a county jail, but is aeld at the
station awaiting an order vouched
.or by the sheriff, before it wiil be
delivered. And inasmuch as he
iheriff doc63"t seem to have the least
inclination to permit the perilling o
Ksoze, there itas been no voucher
-3ued Ly him far one of the men
jo-. serving time for "booties
Ring." Quite & strategy was attempted,
however, in the effort to get the
liquid fire end brimstone into prop
er circulation to irrigate the dusty
throats of the thirsty. Wholly un
known to Sheriff Marvin a man ap
peared at the station claiming that
he held an order from the county
prisoner, which order was signed
in the presence of the sheriff.
Agent Butner, however, refused to
permit the "booze'' to leave the sta
tion without an order from Sher
iff Marvin. Sheriff Marvin knew
joining about the consignment un
til so informed by Agent Butner,
and consequently the "booze" re
mains at the station.

CONSIDER OPERA
E PROBL
MATTER BROUGHT UP BEFORE
THE ENTERPRISE COMMER
CIAL CLUB.
One of the matters considered by
he local Commercial club, at its
ast meeting, was that of taking up
".he opera house problem in Enter
prise, with a view to making It pay
expenses by furnishing the show
?oars with good home talent and
?ood outside entertainments. While
lo'.hing definite has been determin
ed upon thus far, the matter has cre
ated considerable patriotic discus
sion, aid varying suggestions have
een made.
As a rule opera houses are ex
)easive things, but they can, again
i-. a rule, be made to pay expenses
vhen everybody works to that
aad. The suggestion that home tal
ta entertainments be given and
tat outside or professional enter
ainmeats be given in tddltion. seems
o solve the problem. Enterprise
las the talent in both music and
Ircmatic phases, and home entertain- i
neuts if rehearsed well and if made
o move with the proper "go" and '
pirit, are always attractive and well 1
eceived everywhere. The home
oard could put on operas, dramas, ;
!d-time minstrel shows, and these
A'ith outside professional entertain
nents could be made to keep the
ipera house running and at ioast
ay the running expense!.
What the commercial club will do,
ir what it will not do, is not known i
U this time. It is safe to venture,
however, that if the members see I
he club's way clear to take hold of j
he opera house, and pay nothing :
ibove the expense- of it, they will J
probably do so. ;
