PLENTY OF CAUSE FOR CHEERFULNESS. The "National Prosperity Assoclftion" has boen recently formed at St. I.ouls, having for Its mo' to, "Cive us a rest and sunshine." The world of grouch will Cilnk that is silly, but there is more sense to it than there la to always lojk.ug on the dark side of things. Op timism In a bel ter asset in the midst of misfortune and hard times than anything else that could be named, except cash or good credit, and op timism backed by industry and patience . will create the credit, which can be turned into cash. Just because this season has not been propitious is no reason for the. doleful dumps. Prices will be higher for provisions, grain and other food stuffs; the railroad will be finished this fall; new industries are going tc be established In Wallowa county, big saw mill and several other laboi employers In prospect; the mining world is sitting up and taking notice of the vast mineral wealth stoiel In the Wallowa mountains; hundreds oi settlers and investors will come In before January 1 next, and tens o thousands of dollars will be spent for public and private improvements. Surely there Is cause for cheerfulness in rich and prosperous Wal'.owa county. If all these good things are not enough to reduce the length and in crease the width of your face, Just think how much worse off the unfor tunates are who live In less favored regions, like the storm and floo.l swept central states, or sun and wind scorched California. - It makes some people happy to know someone else Is having a harder time than they. Still others are never happy unless they are mis erable, while there Is a goolly sprinkling, thank fortune, of natura'.-born optimists, like the little girl who said when the pitcher dropped and broke into a thousand pieces, "Jolly, ain't I lucky! In three minutes more that pitcher would have been full of molasses." Long life to the optimists. May they increase and multiply unti: they fill the earth. At Denver this week, two women will have voice and vote as regular delegates, the first time any of the gentler sex ever held seats in . national convention of either the two big parties., The two women are from Colorado and Utah Mrs. Mary C. Bradford of Denver and Mrs. H. J. Hay ward of Salt Lake City. As alternates, Sarah Ventres of Salt Lake City and Mrs. M. F. McCook cf Brighton, Col., have been chosen. Mrs. Bradford, who lives in Denver, is taking an active interest in the convention. She is a widow and a grandmother, educated and experience on the lecture platform, and as a writer on labor problems, and has bean Identified with politics for 13 years. A Portland dispatch says th3 11. tie town of Dayton, Yamhill county has organized a live commercial club and at a meeting held recently $650 was raised for advertising purpoiea. Dayton is less than one-half as large as Enterprise. All the Willamette valley towns are following the example of Medford and Eugene and engaging upon publicity campaigns Medford has doubled In population in a few years directly as a result of making Its advantages known In the East. Pendleton, La Grande and El gin are Just starling to spend thousands of dollars on publicity and it will be returned to them many fold. According to figures In the rejrort of Secretary of State Benson there Is an enormous outflow of Oregon money to New York to pay pre miums on life Insurance. The tolals are astonishing to one who has not given the matter thought, amounting to no less than $9,578,277 in the five years, 1903-11)07 Inclusive. The amo nt returned here to pay death losses and dividends Is only $2,809,333, leaving the net amount drained o.it o Oregon $il,7t!8,8!)4. In other words Oregon people pay more than three times as much for "protection" as the value of the protection they receive. There is not as large an attendance at the summer normal as the friends of Wullowa county schoils would like to have seen. Summer Is the preparation time for tethers and the quality of schools depends upon the preparedness of the teachers. The districts schools o this county compare favorably with any In Eastern Oregon and the:-e hat boon a very marked advance during the last two years, due In a groa measure to the Increased appropriations by the county court. Baker county people are feeling earthquake shocks and seeing active volcanoes In the Wallowa mountains tnat fornj tne boan,iarv betwesn Baker mid Union on the south and Wallowa county on the north. No earthquake shocks or volcanoes have been reported from Union, and no one In this county has reported a Jar or seen the smoke. Union and Wallowa are "dry," but Baker Is "wet." It Is full time the latter ra-formed. By more good luck than management this county did not aid ta the great list of fatalities due to Fourth of July explosive. The ammunition was here all right, including the fercclous dynamite bombs and deadly paper-cap pistols and canes. It Is a little early yet for congratulation as the returns or deaths from lockjaw, due to the paper-cap weapons, will not be complete for a w-'ek or tan ("ays. The gospel army In Entsrprlaa has been reinforced by two lealers thus Increasing the number of churches with regular services to three .Methodist, Christian and Presbyttrlan. In addition 'the Baptists and Catholics hold services occa (tonally. The county treasurershtp coatsst will serve at least one use?ul pur poseIt will cause some reading of that ancient and almost forgo.ten doc ument, the Oregon state constitution.

ENTERPRISE BEST TOWN OF ITS SIZE. E. B. Wheat Says It's Ahead o' Willamette Valley Places. E. B. Wheat, the jeweler, who re cently returned from a trip of sev eral weeks, during which he visited a number of Willamette valley town1? and also several on the coast with a view to finding a new business loca tion, said to a News Record repra sentative, Tuesday, that he fo md nothing so good as Enterprise, and he has come back to remain here permanently. No place he vhitad combines the advantages of a b9auti ful and healthful residence town wit present and prospective business op portunlty as does this city. Further he says he saw no town while away anywhere near the size of Enterprise that is as up to date in its buildings, Improvements and business stocks. Mr. Wheat Is showing his faith In the town and county by adding grext ly to his large stock of musical in struments, Jewelry, watches, cocks and silverware. He has put in a com plete Edison catalogue of records; every record made by Mr. Edison is found on his shelves. This is proba bly not duplicated In all Eastern Or egon. Mr. Wheat has sold scores of phonographs and It will be goo.l news to those who have bojght and to prospective purchasers that any record listed in the Edison catalogue Is In stock at Wheat's. - In this connection it may be men tioned that the wonderful Wm. J Bryan records will be secured by Mr Wheat as soon as they are put on the market by Mr. Edison. These are the records made by Mr. Bryan himself. As a favor to Mr. Edison the famous orator made 16 records at his Falrvlew farm home, te:i o which have been pronounced perfect and will soon be for sale. They are the first made by Mr. Bryan hlai self, and the exact tone of his voice Is heard as he talks as only he cai talk on various public questions. THE PARK.
