More Than "One Model County."
Bunion is a model county acwJing to tha Oregon D.iily Jo irnal.
which had the following tribute to that Willamette shire recently:
"Benton county is out of debt Aside from some violations of the
local option law, now suppressed, ii is a cou: ty practically without
crime. There is but little litigation thei'e. A term of circuit court
sometimes lasts but a day or two.
"The people, however, are not asleep, but are industrial v active
and are becoming more and more enterprising. There is richer farm
ing land to le had .it a moderate price, much unimproved land, timber
land and many streams. The climate is almost perfection and there
is no booze in Penton; it is a dry county.
"Where is there a better residence county, a better one for American
homes, in the country? If there is a better one it must be some other
other Oregon county and we doubl if any of these is more than just
as good."
There is one "just as good," if not better, in the extreme north
eastern corner of Oregon. Wallowa is not only ideal as a residence
county, but it is something else it is a good place for business. How
often it is spoken of some old, non-progressive place that it is not much
for business but H a fine ulaee to live, rent and eilncntn a fumilv
Wallowa county combines both advantages in a superlative degree.
There are few places in the Inland Empire that equals this for
opportunities, both for the invester and homeseeker, and there are cer
tuinlv none in the old, settled counties west of the Cascades, Here in
Wallowa are mar y exceptional openings for the man of large capital,
hundreds for the man of small capital, and thousands for the man
win so capital is brain or brawn, or both, backed by thrift and industry
Wallowa county has lacked only one thing to be THE model
county, and before the leaves fall that lack will he supplied, for the
Wallowa county extension of the 0 R. & N. Ry. will have been com
pleted clear through lo Joseph, bringing the Coast market to the heart
of this delectable land.
Time To Get Together.
The people of Wallowa county have said emphatically they wish
the county seat question settled at once and forever. It simply rests
with the county court to put that verdict into the concrete form of a
county building and the question will stay settled. That cause of strife
removed there is nothing to stand in the way of nil the townB and dis
tricts co operating together in the up building of the county, unless
some town places resentment above the common inteiest of all
The railroad will be completed through to Joseph within four
months say the company's odicials. That means trains running into
Wallowa by October 1st, or a full month before the expiration of colo
nist rales. This is our opportunity to secure hundreds of homebuild
ers and small investors. It can be done without too heavy expense on
any one community if nil will work together. The time is full ripe.
It has been suggested that some commercial club or the county
court in an unollicial capacity issue a call for a meeting of representa
tiver. from all clubs, towns or districts, for the purpose of advising to
gether and a reeing upon a united plan of action for advertising the
county. We hope such a call will be issued.
Now is the lime to organize for county development. What helps
ue ht lps all.
Railroad's Coming.
The railroad's coming, no foolishness thin tints, hut surely con
iug. (leneral Manage O'Brien himself says it will be completed clear
through to Jivseph this summer.
Isn'i he the fine man?
Hundreds of men General Superintendent Buckley says a thousand-
-will be at work by the middle of June. Bless Buckley's good
ild Celtic heart, and more power to him.
O'P.i ieu and Buckley, There's the real, railroad building combi
nation. The Irish always have been and still are the greatest of rail
road builders, though they hire Japs and Dagoes nowadays to do the
heavy lifting. If Ilarriman had only left it to the Irish months ago,
Wallowa county would be shipping carloads of products from her rich
oil today.
But tho railroad's coming now sure. Glory be!
The cold, wet weather ha? !eeii general all over the wtstern and
central states. In central Illinois corn planting is over two weeks

oiinly is as ever the favored spot. While there has been more rain

mil will be an abundant yield. We have reason for congratulation
that we'are exempt from California sandstorms and from the tornn
loes that devastate the centrl slates. Wallowa county is the garden
"pot and the ideal climate of the great Northwest.
All the Portland pnpers gave groat prominence to the orders for
esumption of work on the Wallowa county railroad, and speak of this
is th garden spot of immense natural resources, agricultural, timber
nd mining, and possessing unequalled scenic beauty. All of which is
literally true.

"The Undiscovered Country."
Edmund Clarence Ptodman's own
poem, ''The Undiscovered Country,"
was sung at his funeral. This is the
pojm:
Could we but know
The land that ends our dark, uncertain
travel,
Where lie those happier rills ai.d
meadows low
Ah, if beyond the spirit's inmost cavi',
Auglit of that country could we sure
ly know,
Who would uot go?
Mig'ht we but hear i
Tho hovering angels' high imagined
chorus,
Or catch, betimes, with wakeful eies
and clear,
One radient vista cf the realm befcre
us
Ah, w ho would fear?
Were we quite sure
To find the peerless friend who left t;s
lonely,
Or, there by some celestial stream
as pure,
To gaze in eyes that here were love) it
only,
This weary, mortal coil, were we
quite Biire,
Who would endure?
