The contract for the erection ol
the court house has been let to S.
R. Haworth for $31,300, and he has
already begun preparations for the
excavation and the hard wall base
meat. Mr. Haworth states-that from
six to eight men will soon be at
work on the foundation, and eighl
or ten at the quarry on E. R. Bowl
by's place east of town. Two foui
horse teams will be employed haul
ing stone during all fair days of the
winter.
The court was notified the lattei
part of last week by H. H. Moulton
who made the lowest bid, that the
Walla Walla man who gave him fig
ures on the masonry work could not
or would not give him a bond, ant
therefore he (.Moulton) withdrew hlf
bid. The Walla Walla man's fig
ures on the masonry were between
$3000 and $4000 less than those o:
the other masons who figured on it
and accounted for the difference be
tween the bid of Moulton and those
of Haworth and Slater. Moulton be
ing out of it, the court then accepted
the next lowest bid, that of S. R. Ha
worth for $31,300.
The court met Monday and accept
ed the offer by W. W. White and
some GO other citizens of Enterprise
and vicinity, made in July, 1907, and
thus secures $5000 towards the erec
tion of the courthouse, payable when
the walls are up to the second story.

October 9 to survey the proposer
road from Troy to the city of Wal

favor of good roads and lots of them,
but it does seem to me that if the
county court is going to help the
north end of the county In the way
of roads the residents here should be
consulted in the matter, at least. A
road to Wallowa is not what the ma
jorlty of the peaple want, as has
been reported to the county court

MAKES
PENDLETON
FIRST WOOL T
OWN
SCOURING MILLS CLOSE AFTER
BIG SEASON'S RUN LEADS
IN SHIPMENTS.
Manager S. L Crow of the Home
Telephone company came from Flor:
today. Tho lino from Sled Sprli
to Flora will be built this fall.
The value of the Pendleton wool
scouring plant to the city. Its busi
ness interests and its importance as
a wool center, are well set forth in
this review of the season by the
East Oregonlan:
When the Pendleton scouring mills
closed down today after a five
months' run, they not only closed the
most successful season in their his
tory, but one In which they were the
most Important factor In ninklng Pen
.Ueton the largest wool shipping
point west of the Mississippi.
During the present year the wool
shipments of this city have amount
ad to over 7,500,000 pounds. This
ecord is not equalled by any other
iolnt In the west, not even except
ng San FrancUco, nor Great Falls,
lont., the latter formerly the larg
ist Shipping point, but whence ship
ments this yeir have been about
i.000,000 pounds.
Not all the wool shipped from this
ity can be fairly called Pendleton
ifool, as it includes the entire output
f the Elgin country, mo3t of the Ar
Ington wool and considerable from
leppner and Shanlko. But every
lound was shipped from this city.
During the season of five months,
vhich is brought to a close today
he scouring mills have handled
nore wool than any concern in the
vest and have employed an average
'f fifty people, each of whom draws
in average of $20 per week In wages
md salaries, or an average total of
1000 per week for 20 weekspald out
o the workers of this city. During
hat time the mills have sorted and
icoured 3,000,000 pounds of wool and
traded and baled 4,000,000 pounds
he latter including all the product
f Wallowa county, which was
ihlpped here for that purpose.
In addition to the 4,000,000 pounds
ihlpped by the grading and baling de
lartment and the product of 3,000,000
lounds shipped by the scouring
lartment of this firm, about 500,000
lounds has be9n handled by othei
varehousei In Pendleton.
The management looks for another
luccessful seasoa for the mills next
'ear and hopes to again put Pendle
on In first rank among the wool
'hipping points in the west.
