Merritt and.W. F. Smith, the Utah mining men who had been ex amining claims in the mountains south of Enterprise for a couple of months, left last week for Salt Lake, taking with them samples of ore from the Hamilton Bros.' mine, upon which they havo a 60 days option for bond, says tho Joseph Herald. It is a copper proposition and is re puted to be very rich. Messrs. Merritt and Smith and W. J. West havo already secured a bond on Barton Bros.' group of five claims on Snake river which the Herald states is to run for two years and is for $20,000. The claims are on Battle Creek, and the vein uncovered is four feet in width with a 15-lnch pay streak of free milling ore that runs from $60 to $90 a ton near the surface. . G. A. Gyllenberg and F. W. Brooks of Baker City are pushing work on their group of nine claims on Hurri cane creek, and according to the Herald expect ta have about 2000 sacks of ore ready to go out on the first train. CARNfVA DELIGHTS L CROWDS OF PEOPLE SOMETHING GOING ON ALL THE TIME FUN REIGNED SUPREME. Everything in the fishing rod line. from 5 cents up to $9, at Burnaugh & Mayfleld's. Big Vote Polled at City Election Charter Amendment Carried by 10! to 68 Both Sides Worked Hard. ' In spite of four or five othei things going on, Including the street fair, a large vote was polled at the special city election Saturday after noon on the proposal to amend the charter so that an "affirmative ma Jorlty" instead of a two-thirds ma Jority would carry an election tc bond the city to put in water works, sewerage, lighting and other improve ments, and also raising the limit of total indebtedness for all those pur poses from $10,000 to $30,000. The total vote polled was 172, ol which 103 were for the amendment 68 against, and one ballot defective. There was lots of hustling done but good feeling prevailed as all realize there is honest difference of opinion on this question that is of so much importance to every resident of th city. Two of the judges appointed by the council B, B. Boyd, since ap pointed a councilman, and T. R. Ak ins, who was acting as a special mar shal could not serve, and the by standers elected R. D. Rodgers and W, C. Wilson. Daniel Boyd was the third judgu, About 25 qualified electors did not vote, or the total would have reached close to 200 and shows that the city now has nearly 1000 population. frli i - Hi M fftrni 4LL U 1KM RE-SOUVETD THAT A BARREL ISA NICE COO LTHlNGToWFAR-BUT WHO WANT5 TO WEAR A BARREL WHEN WE HAVE APPAREL THAT IS JUST AS COOL AND LOOKS MUCH BETTER BUSTER BROWr hwuirml ",l,"T ' -.-rt. noma .......

COME To A GOOD PLACE. RESPECTFULLY, The street fair and carnival given by the Enterprise Concert band, Fri day and Saturday of last week, was all the bill promised and a lot more. It pioved one of the biggest sue cesses and most enjoyable affairs ever in Wallowa county. The rains came just at the right time to turn the people from the hayfields to the carnival, and It's an easy bet that no one regretted being delayed a day 01 two with his farm work. There was a good sized crowd Friday and on Saturday the town over-flowed with people, the attendance being as large or larger than at the big 3-days cele bration a year ago, the previous high wateV mark in Wallowa county. The grounds wore a dream of de light, the arrangement of the booths shows, "Laughing Avenue," the spec ial attractions and the splendid bit dancing pavilion, was perfect, ant proved that among his hundred othe: accomplishments, Morrle B. Streetei is some punkins as a landscape engi neer. For Streeter laid out th grounds as well as planning tht whofc show and pitching In and do lng two men's work In the heavy lift ing, sawing and nailing. He's a won der. And there were about a score of other wonders when it came tc working, for every member of the band was there doing his heaping best. Such stunts as 10 hours play ing In the orchestra at the dance pavilion la a sample of how the boyr worked. There was no discount on the fun That was the main purpose and ev erybody got his or her share, wheth er throwing at the nigger dodger the babies, ringing the ducks, shoot ing at diamonds, taking a chance a. the wheel of (candy) fortune, havlnf their fortune told, viewing Calvin's superb collection of curios, seeing the ugliest man or handsomest wo man or bumping the bumps over 'the range. ' There were two splendid balloon ascensions and parachute jumps by Prof. Hicks. The balloon went near ly straight up both days and when It would go no higher, Hicks cut loose his racing parachute and came tc the ground so swiftly as to cause a loud chorus of ahs! The total receipts were a little over $800 but the boys will not have much clear as the expenses are ovei $700. .

PLAIN GOLD BRACELET, on Carni val grounds, Friday. Reward if re i.uiiibu ia Wews Kecord office or E. M. & M. store. Jack Kehn, pitching for Wallowa in the game with Enterprise Satur day made what will probably stand as a record In Wallowa county for a good many years to come. For 10 long .Innings the opposing batsmen tried vainly to pound his puzzling curve and change of pace to a safe place. Not a safe hit In 10 innings puts Kehn up In the select company of no hit pitchers, along with Cy Young, Mathewson et al. No hits in the regulation nine Innings Is a big thing for a pitcher to do, only a few each season accomplishing that which thousands strive to do, but Kehn's feat of no hits In 10 Innings has been duplicated but once this season by Wlltsle of the New York Giants against the Brooklyns. It was a great game. Nine Inn ings and nary a score. In the tenth, after brilliant playing all through, a muff of an easy pop-up allowed Wal lowa to get one over the plate, the side being' retired Immediately by a fine catch of a hot liner by the same player who had dropped the pop-up. Enterprise went out one, two, three, and the game, witnessed by a big crowd, was won by Wallowa 1 to 0. Each side fielded in splendid stylo, the good plays being more numerous than ordinary ones. Brldwell In right field made a llttlo record for himself with three asslita something you won't see done again by an outfield er In many' a day. Kehn struck out 13 batsmen. Each side made 4. er rors. Bilyeu aria Crumpacker were the battery for Enterprise. Clark caught Kehn. Comedy of Errors. The next day it was different. Full of errors, mixed with hard hit ting and a little good fielding thrown In for seasoning, It proved an inter esting game , to watch and the big crowd got its two bits worth. Wal lowa was more fortunate In bunch ing its hits with Enterprise's errors, ; and when the smoke of battle clear ed away It was found they had tal lied 11 runs to Enterprise's 8. The home team baited the hitherto invin cible Hayes for 13 safeties while Wal lowa got 12 off Parker. Doth teams bear the shame of the 24 errors .that wore made, though Enterprise made two more than Wallowa. These two teams have played t games so far this season of which IVallowa has won 5. The Enterm-ise team will probubly play at Wallowa next Sunday. TEN ACRE TRACTS FOR 8ALE.
