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

off at second after making a clean pick

OF
SEAT PROPOSITION
Which Location Is for Best Interest Of
Majority of Wallowa County
People.
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.
Whitmore who resides on John Mo
Donald's place between Wallowa and
I .can. Her maiden name was Oeorgia
Elmer. Two brothers of the deceased
