RAW LAND IS CONVERTED IN
THREE MONTHS TO SCENES
OF PROFIT.
To the Eastern man who finds an
opportunity in hla thickly settled
section, and incidentally liaids about
6,000 individuals all rampant and
pell-mell after th solitary oppor
tunity, it -will come as a niUlenial
promise to see what has been done
here by some of the wide-awake
newcomers who saw raw lands teem
ing with opportunities. A case in
mind is that- of the transformation
wrought by Carl Roe and V. I. Cal
vin, within the brief space of three
months, on a piece of land on the
outskirts of Enterprise. This land
for years lay in pasture and very
poor pasture at that. A3 a matter
of course, all old settlers looked up
on this land as upon all other land of
a similar formation and in a similar
raw state. Naturally, it was pro
nounced and firmly believed, that the
iMid "wouldn't grow anything." It
tiad been pastured for years. A
hundred acres of it might feed half
a dozen steers. It could .grow grease
weed and thistles and wlldflowers.
Eesldes there were hundreds of
thousands of acres of just such laaid
in Wallowa county, and if it was
worth anything for agricultural
crops, why hadn't somebody found it
out, generations ago?
Hut the story of reclamation is
now completely told, and this 100
acres in one field, as broken and
seeded and ditched by Calvin and
Hoe, shows a picture of plenty and
promising prosperity that is des
tined to advertise this section of
Oregon.
On the first of March the own
ers began the work of turning over
the primitive sod. It had never been
turned over in all its age long idle
ness before.. It was the same old
wild grass and .weeds that the der
and elk once roamed over in their

his followers delighted to turn their
ponies loose upon. In fact It was
the same old uncultivated mould
that was heaved up originally and
formed by disintegration and water
action. But today it waves green
with barley, and the alfalfa, to which
the 100 acres were seeded with the
barley, is sprouting vigorously all
over it, and promising future har
vests of a hundred and a thous
andfold. Today, then, after only
three months of well directed indus
try, a baren. wilderness waves with
barley and sprouting alfalfa; and the
sight Is as balm to the weary eyei of
the believer in the agricultural fu
ture of eastern Oregon.
Li addition 'to this, Messrs. Calvin
and Roe are now installing a large
centrifugal pump, just arrived, that
will lift water 128 feet to their high
er reservoir and 90 feet to the lower
reservoir. From these reservoirs the
entire 100 acres can be irrigated
aud will be irrigated.
What -Messrs. Calvin and Roe have
dene anyone with industry and a
little nioivey can do, almost anywhere
in Waliowa county. The land is
here and the opportunities lie Just
under the wild sod. Waving fields j
m a single season can be made to
supplant barren and profitless pas
ture lands. The "call" is from
the soil.

W. A. Moss, at present conduct
ing the Lewis Hotel in this city,
has leased the Interior rooms in
the LItch building, and Saturday be
gan .putting in furniture equipping
them for rooming purposes. The
demand for rooms exceed the pres
ent supply, and .Mr. Moss will doubt
less iiud no trouble in filling the
rooms as a rula with transients, it
Is rumored that he .will also open a
restaurant in the Rodgers building.
The demand for accommodations
of this kind Is increasing here. Al
though there was nothing by ,way
of a public celebration, and although
the travel and transient trade was
merely at its normal, one night dur
ing the pasf week six transients
were compelled, to seek rooms
wherever they might find them, ow
ing to the filling of all hotels. This
increase, moreover, is growing, and
the demand seems to be for a large,
ct-niniodious- rooming house. Taken
In. time of public celebration, there
are not enough "spare" rooms' in
the city to accommodate the public.
.Mr. nianchard of' the Hotel Enter
prise frequently has been compelled
to seek rooms even in private
homes, "a pa re" rooms,, to accommo
date the hotel trade. A good room
ing house would remove this fre
Ment hunt for room accommodations.

Friday night last, while returning
from the theatre in Knterprlse, Miss
Leila Ogburn, youngest daughter of
Air. and Mrs. Ogburn, sustained a
serious Injury that leaves, the pa
tient still in a very critical condi
ion. At last reports she was s'low
y regaining consciousness, though
nly at Intervals, and remains for
i part of Ihe time in a stateof insen
sibility. Miss Leila and her brother Floyd,
together with a hired workman at
the place, attended the Madison
Square theatrical troupe's show at
the opera house here. On the way
home, in about the neighborhood of
Judge Olmsted's ranch, one of the
Lhllla. ha reported as falling down.
The man In charge sprang from
the rig to hold the horse which be
came frightened and went tearing
away and got loose from the man.
The little girl partially sprang and
was partially thrown from the rig in
the neighborhood of the L. J. Jor
dan ranch, and struck on her temple
and side. She was picked up un
conscious and carried into the Jor
dan home, where she remains. She
remained Unsensible until Saturday
noon, when signs of consciousness
became manifest, but since then she
is unconscious at intervals. Neith
er her brother nor the hired man
were Injured.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ogburn live
on the ranch owned by Deputy
Sheriff Crow, on Alder Slope, where
they have resided for several years.
Their many friends and the friends
f Leila sympathize with them deep
ly in the sad affair, and hope that
ihe little girl may recover fully 'and
rapidly.
LANDSEEKERS FROM
WASHINGTON! ARE HERE
Landseekens continue to pour In
to Enterprise and from here to go
ut into various parts of the coun
ty, with a view to securing ranches.
Sheriff Crowley of Klickitat coun
ty, Wash., accompanied by two men,
one of them William Wright, spent
Friday riding over the Slope coun
try and the Prairie Creek district.
Saturday the three left for Loatint,
where they will look over the valley
lands, and may Foss'bly continue a
further search through the county.
Wallowa county lands are attract
ing wide attention among those who
ex?k good lands for a comparatively
small outlay of money per acre.
Within a few years no Wallowa
county lands will remain. The set
tler desiring to secure good land at
a minimum price per acre, is com
pelled to do so at once not in a
few years from now. Any climate,
almost, can be found In the county,
owing to the varying altitudes of the
county. This summer should witness,
with proper advertising, a constant
.tiflux of settler, especially from 'the
Sast, who desliie home locations.
TURNER OLIVER SEE8
WALLOWA'S FUTURE
Hon. Turner Oliver, state senator
for this and lTnlon counties, passed
through Enterprise from La Grande,
Monday, on his way to Joseph. In
an interview Senator Oliver express
ed the firm conviction that ,within
ten years Wallowa county will be
raising as much wheat as the ramous
"Palouse" district in Washington,
if not more.
This expression from one well ac
quainted with the potential quali
ties of Wallowa county, coming on
the heels of the persistent advocacy
of this paper, makes us "feel good."
it goes, to show the strong probabil
ity that the wheat, production of
Wallowa county will ,within a brief
term of years prove a vast store
house of wealth for tills county.
Wherever the wheat raiser lias
topped on the Wallowa county hills,
he has not only made the hills look
like a paradise, but he haa gotten
rich enough to beindependent.
