Rapid Growth of
Dairy
' L. J. Jordan, the well known d.ir.v
tuan of Eutvrpri c, letuined frcm the
Gru'(:do Rondu this week wi.h 10 high
grude ,'ersey heifers and eowa and a
Jersey bull to add to his herd.
J. A. Bockout new has a herd of 15
registered Jersey heifers, and last week
bought a separator of J. W. Biekford.
W. W. Harris, of northwest of town,
also bought a separator. O. B. Clark of
Puadise also bought one and will milk
20 cow s, sending his cream out by stage.
Thomas Morgan of Pruii ie Creek is so
wel. satisfied with the dairy business
that he w ill increase his herd to 100.
The foregoing are evidences of the
wonderful growth of the dairy business
in this valley thia-spring, due iu part to
the Wallowa Valley Cream conir any,
the untiring efforts of its president, J.
W. B'ckford. but iu the largest meas
ure to the fact that the Wallowa val
lej is the best dairy country iu the In
land Empire. j
The Wallowa Valley Cream company :
will establish in a week or so, cream
routes from Wallowa to Enterprise and
on up Prairie Creek.
McDonald's Name Missing.
J, Q. C nnolly, who brought the
Flora ballot boxes out, when asked
how many votes McDonald received,
said: "McDonald? What was he run
ning for?" When it was explained to
him that Mr. McDonald was a. candi
date fof county commissioner," ho main
tained with grave face tl at the Wal
lowa man's name wasn't on the tickets

letter From Leading' Capitalist of
Eastern Washington on Traction
. Road Froject. .
The Walla Walla company is ready
to take up the matter of building the
electric railroad from that city to En-1
terprisu. In a Utter dated April 25, a
lending capitalist of Walla Walla, .one
of the wealthiest men iu Eastern Wash
ington, sends word to a prominent
citizen of Enterprise that they were
"ready to take up the proposition ol
electric railroad" with the people of
this city. This letter is fio in the
News Record office, and it will be
acted upou as speedily a- such matters
can be done. 1 or obvious reasons, the
name of the cupitalis: is not made pub

Editorial
The above p:iiagri,ph of news 'is evi
dence of activity 011 t.l e part of Enterprise-in
tho matter of u railroad ouliet
to tho north. It is well known by
leading citizens of every community
along tho line of the pioposed route
that Enterprise men have been woik-
ing on this pioject for 111010 than six
months.
And they are not pulling alone in
their work in this county as the great
promi. or who edits the Wallowa S.iu
will one day wake up' and tee.
This wetk's issue of tho Wallowa
Proniiser needs only pictures to be 11
comic supplement. In one paragraph
it scoffs at the idea of a town the size
of Euturprise doing anything toward
building a railroad to the North Conn
try, and in the next breath promi-es
that Wallowa, half the size of Entoi-
prise, will surely build half the road
tip Whiskey creek ifFloia will build
the other half.
In their mad desire to hog all the
offices, and. relying -onthe. word .of
few iriesponsibles from other towns,
at so much per. word, or a lump sum
for so many signatures to their county
seat petition, Wallowa engineeis of the
counts 6eat scrap threw down the
candidates from other sections, particu
larly the north end. Now realising
their blunder, the Sun is abject iu its
fawning and cringing, and even iuvents
a lie out of the whole cloth, that Mr.
Locke was in favor of a $100,000 court
house. .
"The people of this city would have
been glad to support a man from the
north end for commissioner," says the
Sun. Yes, how clad? Mr. Locke was
out weeks before"- McDonald and had
the united support of the North
Country. But the Jonas tub insisted
on trotting out the 6tronget man In
their w hole community to dow n Locke
and the north end. How "glad" they
were! After trying to hog everything,
the Sun- now fmtps and sm rls, and
accuses Lostine and the North Couutry
of high treason h.rausu they wouldn't
1I1J as the Wallowa bosses dictated.
"This, of course is oi-couraging," as the
Sun says.
The Sun's frenzied promises of fair
treatment will not he swallowed by
Lostine and the North Country after
the throw-downs at the (iriniary by
Wallowa. Promises don't go.
It is Enterprise performance against
Jonas promises. Enterprise offers the
best sits iu Wallowa county for the
court bouse, and $o000 of real mony;
the Jonas push promises hot air.
Enterprise treated all seel Ions of the
county fairly in the primary, except
avowed enemies of this town. The
Jonas push well, it's history, and
they can't dodge the record, but my
they are promising for the future.
And it is the same with the railroad.
Enterprise has been working along
that line for half n year. Iixiu before
the eounly seat n-stion pus.d tin;
petition stage, nud lias created what
ever teiiliiuent that now e;iL for the
j nri-,. i,ve visited Walla W11II11 ihiiIImI
Ists and hu'il the resources of the eounly
before tliym and got them Interested.
Other railroad builders have U-en In-
, tereted, ami Enterprise will never let
un until the road is completed. Hot for
political reasons but becuuse It w ill
lielp Enterprise commeri.'ially. The
J people of the county know this Is a
j town lljnt does things pel formance,
I
And the Jonas pus!. promises, hot
uir, nothing doing.
0. E. & IT. Extension ITewi.

day from 'a few days bm-ines trip to La
