Grande Ronde, Tuesday
Work Stopped.
Oyer
The first railroad train entered Wal
lowa county Tuesday morning over
the temporary bridge ucross the
Grande Ronde, and if the suspension
of work orders are lifted in a day or
two, rails will be laid as far as the
Mluam by the middle of this mouth.
Engineer Long of the O. R. & N. re
ceived orders Wednesday to have con
tractor J. E. Patterson suspend work
on the grading of the depot grounds.
Mr. Patterson, who has a sub-contract
from Ericksou &, Peterson phoned their
headquarters at the Bridge Thursday
morning, and was told to go ahead
with his work. ' The Elgin olflja of
the O. R. & N. told Mr. Long to allow
Patterson to proceed uuder orders
from Erickson & Peterson.
All kinds of rumors are afloat but it
is not believed the suspension will be
for more than a few days. Only Tues
day the Bridge camp received orders to
send 18 teams to the mouth of the
Wallowa to distribute ties up the
canyon.
Work is proceeding on the grading
in the valley at this time, Thursday
afternoon.
There is no question that with the
advent of the railroad that will be a
great summer resort and people will
come from all over the Uuited State to
view the beautiful lake and mountain
scenery and breathe the pine scented
air. This "Switzerland of America" is
one of the cliiufest of Wallowa county's
resources, and Mr.Reavla is wise enough
to "make hay while the enn shines."

High School Now Papular. '
The poop'e of Klamath county are
well satisfied" with their county high
school and although the board "came in
for criticism at first for our liberal
policy, a vote of the people would . how
sustain us overwhel mlngly," writes L.
Alva Lewis, treasurer of Klamath
county, to Judge O. M. Corkins. "'
Mr. Lewis states the sohool now has
an enrollment of 80 against 9 four years

teacher (100 and one 190 a month for
the fftrm, and' the commercial teacher
(125 a month. The cost of running t be

In addition to the state coarse of

commercial course mat is proving very
popular, about one-third of the pupil
taking that course. Mr. .Lewis says
that feature is original with the Kla

certainly recommend it to others.
Klamath county had 3970 population
in 1900 as compared to 5538 in Wallowa.
Klamath has had a big boom in the
last few years but its population today
does i:ot exceed the present population

unique contest that will no doubt
awaken interest from one end of Wal
lowa county to the other, especially
among the young folks.
The Buster Brow n pictures ond reading
matter accompanying them have attain
ed the greatest and most desei ved popu
larity of any series ever published. They
are as far ahead of the ordinary "Comic
page illustrations as the modern
half-tone is ahead of the old wood cut.
They are different. They are worth pre
serving both for their artisticquality ai d
the philosophy so quaintly taught in
the reflections of Buster. Now add to
that cash prizes of (15 and every boy
and girl in the county has an incentive
to cut out the pictures and save them.
In the advertisement on this page, W.
Funk & Co. announce a series of
Buster Brown pictures to run every
week in the News Record for one year.
To the pupil of a Wallowa county
school who brings to their store at the
end of the year the largest number of
these ads, W. J. Funk & Co. will give

and aunts, cousins, friends and ac-
aintances to cut W. J. Funk &Co's

them for you. Everybody will be glad
to help you. You are out neither work
nor money in anv event, and you will
probably bo mong the first three if
you persevere for a year.
Five Holidays Declared
Governor Chamberlain, at the behest
of the Portland clearing house, issued
on Monday a proclamation declaring
Oct. :fll. 30 and 81. Nov. 1 and 2. leual
holidays in order to allow time for Ore
gon banks to seem e their deposits from
New oik bucks. The Portland
banks were closed Tuesday, but re
opened for business Wednesday and
Thursday.
Wallowa valley banks are entirely
unaffected by the Kasteru money strin
gency, and the whole thing Is looked
upon us a Wall street flurry that will
soon blow over. W. It. Holmes of the
Wallowa National says in his opinion
the declaring of holidays was entirely
unnecessary.
