Unique Display The tonsorial artists of-tur town have a very unique display in the front window of their shop. A large vat was obtained and placed in proper position, the city water works were next brought into service with a fountain attachment which is covered by a large glass globe. The vat contains ferns, mosses and other water growth while the water is the home of some very fine specimens of mountain trout. It is quite a novel way to display Wallowa county's fishing industry In so unique a way and many guests of Hotel Enterprise find it a pleasure to gaze npon the ' speckled beauties. The owners of the shop are very original in their means for display. The Interior of the tonsorial parlor Is decorated with stuffed birds' animals and a splendid collection of guns, relics and ..Indian arrowheads. I.0.0.F Hall Warmed. Visiting Members A.F.&A. M. Gather In New Hall. On Saturday evening the new I.O.O.P. hall of Joseph was a scene of gaiety and cheer. Visiting Masons from various points throughout the county gathered to warm the hall and bid adieu to their esteemed brother and two sisters, Mr & Mrs J D McCulley and daughter Kulsr. There was work in the third "degree but after its conclusion the parties were fully repaid bf a bounteous repast pre pared by the Joseph Masons and Stars. Many members from Enterprise secured a driver with a large van and went en masse returning .in the "wee sma' hours". All report a splendid time but they regret to loose their old time friends J. D. McCully wife, and daugter Eula who depart for Iloood River soon. In houor of Mr McCully we copy the following from the Joseph Herald. It is with regret we .announce the removal next Monday of Mr, and Mrs. J. . McCully and family from our midst to Hood River. "In 1881, Mr. McCully bought an interest in F. D. McCully 's general merchandise . store and continued a partner in the business until 1884 when he withdrew from the firm ami left Joseph. He returned to Joseph in 1889 and again bought in with F. D. McCnlly. Shortly afterward the F. D. McCully lompany was organ ized and J. D. McCully is still a member of that firm, lie always took a promi inent part iti church us well as city affairs and has held every office in the town of Joseph except tnat of recorder. He, also, can point v 'Mi pride to his record In helping to bring the Joseph public school to the high standard that it now maintains, having been a school director tor the past 17 consecutive years. Not only will J. D. be missed but also Mrs. J. D. McCully and miss Eula who have always taken a very prominent part in church and social functions. The Herald joins their many friends in wishing them health and happiness in their new home. New Stock Arrives Owing to the great demand for harness and leather goods our local dealer, L, Berland, hag received an addition to his stock which is certainly second to none. His lines are complete and with new stock constantly arriving his patrons are certain to get what they need in his line. Burnaugh & Mayfield the popular drug firm, were the receiptants of a large shipment Monday morning. The E. M. & M. Co., W. J. Funk & Co., and all other firms are now laying in their fall and winter goods. The roads are excellent and freighters bring arge tonnage each trip. New Furniture And Fixtures For Fraternal Building As the fraternal building is rapidly nearing completion. The board of trustees will hold a meeting this week to select and purchase furniture and fixtures appropriate to . adorn the interior of the best lodge room in the metropolis. No expense will be spared as tne nest oi everything will be pur chased by the trustees. The building is being flushed on the outside now while the masons are completing the interior finish. Painters are putting the colors on the outside wood work but will not adorn the interior for a short time. Much work still remains, but it will be speedily accomplifhed. The banquet room is splendidly arranged, in fact every convenience has been planned for throughout, so when finished, the Fraternal Building will be a credit to the entire county yet more eapecially to the orders who undertook and carried into execution their plans. Enterprise is to be fully compli mented in having so loyal an segreg ation of lodge members that are always ready to do their share and more to improve their town and the county too. The ball will probably be' finished in time for Hallow'een festivities. - ,.. The Best Yield Ever Known j Wallowa County Wheat This Year Surpasses All Former Yields And Weights That Wallowa County is proving her gold medals awarded at the Lewis & Clarke Fair could be won anuually is tally demonstrated by the enormous vield- ana excellaut quality of wheat around The yield this j;ear is the best ever known and the quality is superior to any wheat produced elsewhere. The grain grows very rapidly, is long in kernel, firm and weighs from 63 to 64 pounds to the The flour produced in Wallowa County took gold medal over all and it was made Yes, We can beat the winner on farm Country. Wheat is now beginning to come in to mills at Enterprise, Lostlne and Wallowa. The farmers will get good prices, this year. A Valentine For rise 0. R. & N. Will Run Cars Early 1908 The railroad situation in Wallowa county is getting better each day and the several crews on the rock work will soon complete the contract. A spur is now receiving attention which taps the Lbokinglass country. This will ,be used as a logging road but will not deter the laying of steel on the Wallowa-Joseph extension. It is officially known that trains will be run to Wallowa by New Years and if nothing to the contrary transpires Enterprise Will be able to celebrate St. Valentine in welcoming the steam cars. The coming of transportation into Wallowa county has been looked for ward to for many years and now that the . R. & N. company has spent over one and a half million dollars on the grade they too are anxious to get returns as speedily as possible. Girl Injured Monday was an eventful day for the youngest daughter of Mrs. Pete Millard. While out in the field riding on a bundle wagon. The team passed over a rough place throwing the young lady off her balance and she fell in such a manner that the wagon passed over her. Medical assistance was procured at once and it is thought she will soon bo able to regain her physical condition. Little Snow In . Mountains. The mountains to the south of town are very free from snow and in fact very little snow remains on the peaks. The past winter did not give as solid a snow covering as usual so the hills are bare. The sunsets however are beyond descrip tion, their grandeur exceeds that of the farfamed Matterhorn and Alps. One must see Wallowa county from Enter prise at all seasons of the year to fully appreciate the beautiful surroundings. No county can equal Waiiowa in diver sified pleasures, scenery, and agri cultural pursuits. Union Services Sunday Evening. Union services were held in the Christian Church in the evening, a large congregation attending. Hev. Owen of the Baptist Church preached a splendid sermon. The choir sang several very fine hymns, and everyone present were helped by the remarks of the pastor in charge. ANNOUNCEMENT BIRS.

Plan Extra Good Fair $30,000 to Be Offered' as Premiums and Purses for the Races. Portland Sept. 8, W. II. Downine. of Salem, president "of the State Fair As sociation, was in the city yesterday in the interest of the Stute Fuir to be hold at Salem from September ltt to 21, in clusive. Mr. Downing says that the as sociation expects to hold the best fair in the history of the state and that 130,000 is offered in premiums for exhibits and purses for the races. For the speed events alone on the race track $15,000 is offered to the winning horses. There will be two bin racing events on Wednesday, the 2:14 trot, for which a total of 5000 is hung up, and on Thursday (Portland day), he 2:00 pace, which $5000 is offered. Tim Southern Pacific has made a round trip rate of $1 on Thursday (Portland duy), and it is expected that many 'Portland people will take advantage of the rate to visit the fuir. Mr. Downing says that since the lust fair the association has expended $23, 000 in new stock stables, there being now 13 of them, 200 feet long, with a width of from 30 to 94 feet. From the fact that the fair is a week luter thun usual and the hop harvest a week earlier, it is expected that fewer people will be hop picking and that conse quently the attendance at the fair will be the largest in its history. Union Services Last Sunday. Last Sunday morning services were held in the Presbyterian Church, Kev. Tom pel ton of that church preaching the sermon. He spoke on the subject of "Improving the Golden opportunities" and spoke in part as follows: "In this life we are always looking for barguins, in other words, the merchant socks where he may make the bust deal in purchasing his goods; the housewife does likewise, and so ull along the line thus improving their opportunity to secure the best goods for as reason a bio a sum as possible. Paul enjoyed iiis opKjr tunity in winning souls for God, and we as true christians should never let a chance pass whereby we could help someone to a better and truer way of living. Then tho right method of help ing people should always be used, for if this is not the own opportunities in that line may be lost, and the person we wished to help, hiudored. Life is short, spring lias passed and the long w inter is coming, the needs are great, and the workers few. I emplore. you to improve the opportunity God has given you, and do good to the greatest number pons lulu ere it is too lata." A very touching solo was sung by Mrs. Tonipilton, and was in line with the sermon. The choir rendered several hvmns. Buggies & Lathrope Ruggles and Ijithroj our house movers are being kept busy of late and they are now employed in Wallowa, They are able to handle all kinds of work in the moving line and their prices are quite reasonable. If you have need of such assistance do not fail to call upon tliem. v II. A. Thomas, an old pioneer ot the Paradise country, was a visitor in the city during the week.
