COMMERCIAL CLUB TO PUT
FLOAT IN ROSE CARNIVAL
PARADE.
Th EnterprLe commercial club
ciosed a contract Tuesday night with
G. B. Thomas, representing the Port-
land Rose Carnival, by which this
cUy wiu pay for a float ln the 8tat9
parade the nlght of June 10( t0 typ.
lfy and advertise the resources of
vVallowa countv
i This parade will be the feature of
tun carnival. The floats are mag-
nlflcent affairs, deisgned by the New
Orleans Maidl Gras artist, and cost
$00 each, of which Portland con
tributes one half and the towns par
tition. ng the other half. The de
sign wi!i Le submitted to the Com
mercial club for approval. It will
represent some of the principal re
sources of the county.
The number of floats ln this
parade is limited to 20, and will rep
resent the various sections, produc
tions and industries of- the state.
Moving pictures of the parade will
be taken and exhibited twice a day
in the Oregon building at the Se
attle exposition, and lectures given
telling of the section of the state as
tie float Is shown on the canvas.
Tens of thousands of Eastern peo
ple will thus hear of Wallowa coun
ty's resources by this arrangement.
In addition and of still greater
benefit, films are sent to' all film
agencies throughout the United
States, and thus shown In practically
every moving picture show ln the
country. McMInnvllle had a float la
last year's parade and eays It was
the best paying publicity work ever
done, by the town.
A feature of Interest will be the
selection of a queen to ride on the
float. Just how this will be done has
not been determined. A Wallowa
county girl will be given the dis
tinction, and perhaps a trip to the
Seattle fair thrown in. Whether the
choice will be made by a contest or
by a committee has not been settled.

tied weather; also planning to give
"diversified" farming a better trial
than in the past. Will plant mor:
carrots, beets, corn and squash for

The last school meeting of District
No. 58 (by special order of the chair
man of the board of directors to
elect two new directors in place o:
ihose aosent, was a most interesting
(?) affair to the onlookers, and al
most a3 comical as a Punch and
Judy show. The real actors wars
about as numerous as ln the afore
said show, the minority being the
tpower, the majority the spectators;
iwhen the object of the meeting was
mentioned and a motion made and
seconded for the nomination of two
directors, the chairman promptly de
dared the meeting Illegal and refused
to put the motion, in fact Punh
and Judy who were "it" got so
tangled ud. nro and con. that the
meeting broke up sine die, and it
. ook the county superintendent to j
straighten out the tangle and lot j
i?unch and Judy free. Wo have an
Intelligent number of voters In this I
district, but the Punch and Judy
combine got In when a number o' ;
.voters were making hay while the !
sun shone, and for two years (so
the story goe3) there was a hot!
time In the schoolhouse for some- ;
body, either young, old or indiffer
ent all the same. Everyone is hop
ing for an Intelligent meeting, as j
there will probably be three new di
rectors appointed by the superin
tendent, and they certainly will be
capable of filling their positions. We
feel sure the meetings hereafter
will be conductel with some regard
to parliamentary rule3.
ne last party given for the bene
fit of school district No. 58, at
Hafer's on the night of Febru

and while not quite such a succem
