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

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.
