Return to the Best
D. II. Tucker and Polk Tuck or, old
time residents of this section but now
of Medford, have baen looking over the
ranches In this valley, says the Josepli
Herald, with a view of locating h ere
permanently. Wallowa valley has the
much boomed Rogue river valley bout
ten city blocks and the world will find
jt out soon after the locomotive whistle
echoes back from the mountains that
form the beautiful frame for this gem of
the northwest scenic wonders.
Sawmill Accident
L. F. Johnson, employe of the Daw
son Bros.' Baw and planing mill, lost all
the lingers from his right hand in an
accident nt the mill Thursday after
noon of last week. Ia reuching for a
board he threw his hand against the
whirling saw. He was brought to Jo
seph where the dangling members were
amputated about one inch from the
knuckles. It is a hard blow to Mr.
Johnson who will be unable to work for
a long time.

MRS. N. A. FALLMAN
It is claimed by many in the East that the most perfect cooking
apple known is the Ducheas of Oldenburg, but its value i low because
it will not keep but a few weeks in that climate. In the Wallowi
valley the Duchess grows to perfection and will keep with ordinary
handling, more or less rough, until Christmas, while an orcbardist,
Mr. E. A. Hart, asserts that with the same care in picking and hand
ling that is used for fruit that is to be shipped, thin perfection of cook
ing apples will keep all winter in this climate.
Under the heading, "Prohibition County Prospers,"t the Pendleton
East Oregonian reprints the editorial in the News-Record of September
21, commenting on the scarcity of houses to rent in Enterprise not
withstanding the large number of. new ones erected during the last
two years. The Portland Journal also cites the same editorial in prooi
of the rapid growth of this city. The East Oregonian also spreads the
fame of the fat cattle of Wallowa county by republishing the News
Record article on stock sent to' market after the beef round-up.
Beginning next week the News-Record will be dated and pub
lished on Thursdays. This change is necessary in order that the
paper may reach all subscribers in the county "the same week it is
printed. The News- Kecord.has a large number of readers in the north
country. , The last mail of the week for that section leaves Wallowa
at 6 a. m. on Fridays The last mail for Imnaha and Chico leaves
Enterprise on Fridays. This makes a Thursdav issue imperative an!
therefore the next number of the News-Record will be dated and pub
lished on October 10, the forms closing at 10 a. m.
. Someone with more itch for the pay at space rates than reverence
for the truth has been furnishing the Oregonian with "news dispatches"
from Enterprise that are ridiculous in their blunders and harmful to
this city and county in their misstatements. For examnle one "dis
patch" dated September 22 said "Sheep shea-ing will soon begin in
this county," and followed with a lot of" other "information" equally
as accurate. Another "dispatch"- located a gold mine a few miles
north of Enterprise, and another paved the streets of this thriving
town with asphalt. Enterprise is the most ranidlv crowim lit.t.ln
, 1 ii o o -J
in Oregon but it hasn't quite reached the metropolitan stage of asphalt
paved streets, i hese fake dispatches reflect no credit on the Oreaonian
and certainly will react on this county, and steps have been taken to
stop them.
The Best Investment
, La Grande pa perB assert there is a gigantic project on foot to
irrigate the semi-arid lands of the Grande Ronde valley. The scheme
if carried out will be the largest in Eastern Oregon, not excepting the
government project at Echo. The latter will reclaim but 20,000 acres,
while the Grande Ronde irrigation scheme will water 30,000 acres.
The plan is to dam Sleadow Brook and McCoy creek, and the total
cost is estimated at $750,000 or $25 an acre.
It is reading of such projects as this and of their enormous cost,
that the fortunate dwellers in beautiful Wallowa realize their many
blessings. Here the most fertile land in the northwest is watered by
a natural system of irrigation at a comparatively insignificant cost.
The Echo government irrigation project will lay a burden of $50 an
acre on the land, or more than better land with natural, irrigation is
being sold for in this valley.
Wo say again: Wallowa County land is the best investment in the
West.
