SEPTEMBER 12.
At the regular meeting of the coun
cil Monday night, on motion of Coun

ordered that a special election be
called for Saturday, September 12
to vote On authorising the sale oi
bonds to not exceed $30,000, to beai

for the purpose of putting in water
works system. The mayor, Council
men Graves, Borland, Bickford and
Combes were present.
The returns of Saturday's election
on the charter amendment, were can
vassed and the votes recounted
The tally agreed with that of the
judges 103 yes to 68 no.
There Was some talk in regard to
a larger meeting place for the coun
cil, the basement of the Fraternal
building being suggested. It is ex
pected that interest in water works
legislation will result in quite a large
attendance, i of citizens at counci:
meetings this fall.
At a called meeting 9t the coun
cil Wednesday night of last week
the license fee for the electric thea
tre was fixed at $3 a week.
At the two meetings the following

RECENT DEALS MADE
IN MINING INTERESTS
J..E. 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.

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.

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. .

There are 33 miles of track to lay
and six bridges to put in from the
Canyon bridge to Enterprise. All
the bridges are short and none o
them need take over two days to con
struct, so figuilng on the same
basis as the estimate by Mr. Bran
don, the road will be completed tt
Enterprise by October 15.

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.
