Enterprise Won Great Ball Came Masterly twirling by Bilyeu, backed by phenomenal fielding by Fleenor and aggressive play by the entire Enterprise ; team won a "splendidly played giime with the st. ong Wallowa club, Sunday, on the home grounds. A crowd of 6U0 people waxed enthusiastic us inning after ipning passed with the score thd 1 to 1. and both teams playing on their tiptoes. Jillveu pitched major league baseball, and at all times had the Wallowa- batters ut his mercy, striking out J3 of them including such heavy hit-' ters as Hug twice, Waelty three times and Hayes twice. Only two hits were made oft' his deceptive curvfs, both of the fluke Order by Went. He was so stingy that not" man get a free pass, Hayes pitched a good game, .too, but was found when hits meant runs. While there were a number of errors made they were of the excusable kind, such as fumbles of hard hit grounders and muffs ol tiy balls after hard runs by the fielders. Cm in packer scored in the first inning for Enterprise. He reached first on the force out of Hollembaek, stole second and came home on Oiem ens timely base hit. Wallowa tied the score in the third, Werst soratching a hit, going to second on a wild throw of Maxwell's cinky grounder to pitcher and c uniiig all the "way home when P.'Ce let Savage's poor throw getmst him. Wallofta's only oilier tally was made by Maxwell in the eighth, on a fumble of his bit to third base, steals of second and third and home on a wild pitch. It was in the lucky seveuth that Enterprise put -its label on the game. Bauer reached first on forceout of Bil yeu, second when .Edwin Marvin hit ,iiu wilh-tbo ball in trying to head hiiu off at second after making a clean pick iid of I'iiCj's hot grounder. Zmciier's cracking base hit brought lhiner home, and Savage s sharp liner brought in Pace, Savage reaching second on Werst's tlovenly handling ot tno Dan. rieener struck out but Zurchor and Savage Continued on last page.

Under the caption, "V hat Voters Should Consider," this week's Wal lowa Sun for tl e first time takes up the question of the removal of the county seat on its merits, and after correcting the errors he makes throtli ignorance of the geography of the coun ty, aud the mi.-statements caused by his constitutions! ii ability to state facts, the article proves that the coun ty seat Should Not Be 2toei Hero is the pn o": - Jonas says Wallowa i.i tiearer the geographical, habitable and population center of the county. This is simply ignorarce. The facts open to anyone whoexamiiies a county map and the registration totals are as follows: Wallowa is only nine miles from the west border of "the county and over 50 miles from the east border by air line. Wallowa is at least 23 miles from the geographical center, Enterprise only about ' itilf that distance. l'here is practically no habited or habitable territory west of Wallowa There is not a voting precinct west tf Wallowa. There was one, Smith Mountain, but the settlers have lelt there in uch numbers the precinct has been discontinued. These are facts, indisputable. Wal lowa is and alwayt will be on the ex treme west limit of habited Wallowa county territory. ' Center ol population? Let s see. Leaving out Lot-tine. Leap and the North Country, that are equally near to tintli towns, accoruiuu to the registra tion books 981 voters or a majority of tiie whole number of registered voters of the county, reside in Enterprise and t:ie precincts east, northeast and south east of it. In Wallowa and the pre cincts west and northwest of it there are only 402 voters. Leaving out of consideration the towns of Enterprise and Wallowa, which have a selfish interest in the matter, there are in Promise and Pow watka. the only precincts lying nearer to Wallowa than to Enterprise, and whose people must pass through Wallowa to reach Enterprise, 90 voters. To the east, northeast and southeast of Knterpriso are the pre cincts of Joseph,, Trout. Creek, Prairie UreeK, Divide, Pine t-reelt, Butte, Imnaho, Park and Pittsburg. In those precincts til7 voters ar registered and all of them are obliged lo pass through Enterprise to reach Wallowa. 017 to 90. That's the relative nearness of Enterprise and Wallowa to the center of population. These constitute the merits of the two locations. All the other claims made in the Sun's article ore equally false, but as they are complicated with the lelative value of the two offers con sideration of them will be deferred nntil next week, when the News Record will prove, lirst, that hiuterprise's onr is more than 50 per cent better in a money way than Wallowa's; second, that Wal lowa has absorbed more public monev than Enterprise, including the hii?h school; third, that division of the countv will follow in two years the removal of the" ci iintv Rent to Wallowa astur as fate, even if 75 or 99 pi r cent of the people of this county were opposed to it. XrreipontibUi. Jonas is again hiding behind the skirts of good men. The News Kecord did not sav the men back of Wallowa's offer are irrespousibles and Jona knew he was Iving when he said so in his paper. The two or three fellows who "hatched the scheme" as stated by the News Kecord, are in that category as is well known by nearly everybody. DEATH RECORD. Mrs. Georgia Whitmore died a! Imbler May 5 and was buried at Summerville two davs later. The cause'of her death was cancer of the stomach. Hhe was the wife of 'Win.
