The lesson of this is that a particular county or community
should be advertised in the section from which the homeseekers come.
The dioKiitisfied resident of the Central states, whence the vast ma
jtirit.y of the colonists come, decides at home the place of his destination
and he buys u ticket for that place. Side sho'.vs along the line will

The High School
Wallowa county can have no better recommendation to
the class of homeseekers that we - desire to have come here
than the fact that it supports a county high school. Of equal import
ance to soil, climate and price of land, the intending settlers rank
churches and schools They'know that in the Eatt, good Bchools are
an infallible index of communities. The better the school facilities,
tho more intelligent, progressive and prosperous, tho people.
When an old and well settled county in the Willamette valley
votes .down a proposition to establish a county high school, as has been
I done,' it gives notice to intending settlers that education is of secondary
importance.' To put it plainly, that moisbr.cks are in a majority.
On the oher hand, Wallowa publishes to the world that education
is considend of prime importance by the people of this county, and
newcomers are cordially welcomed tt come and share the benefits for
their children.
The opening of. the county high school this week is an event t'io
importance of which will only be fully realized in future years. ' No
doubt the advent of tho first railroad train into the valley Will be
.given a noisy welcome, but the high school o;yned quietly this week,
without "fuss or feathers," will confer greater benefits on this people
than eVfn the iron horse.
Wallowa county has made or will make no better investment than
its hit;h school.

The.P.aker Ci'y tragedy has aroused general indignation over tho
state. In Wallowa county there is but one sentiment: The murderers
must be hunted down and made to reveal the persons or organization,
if any, that'indueed the terrible deed. Sure ami summary punishment
should be inflicted on the tools who caused the death -of llarvev fv.
Brown, but the in. igators of the murder must not escape. Deliberately
planned assain itioiis mast cease in this country. Any organization,
1 be it capitalistic, iabot- or what not, that promotes such crimes, has inj
: place in America. There is no room ior a M.iti.i in this-country.

Ovi r $100, 000 in cash will come into Wa'.lowa county this fall
for cattle aloneS . And cattle is only one and n t the principal of the
many sources of wealth of the favored corner of Oregon. While no
figures are at hand, sheep, wool and hog-, to say nothing of agricultural
product's, return big revenue now, and when the railroad is completed
ipwt spring the totals will be largely increased. Hay, dairy products,
sugar beets and potatoes willsoon be adding hundreds of thousand of
dollars annually to the wealth of the county. There is ' no section of
the Inland-Empire with as bright and sure future as Wallowa count y.
