DAIRYING DID NOT PAY.
(From Jensen's Dairyman.)
A Nebraska subscriber tells how
dairying Is done in that state. He
says: "A few years ago a neigh
bor of mine had a few native cows.
He said he didn't believe there was
anything in the dairy business, but
he was willing to give it a fair trial.
He bought a separator, a shotgun,
a running horse, a saddle, a Here
ford bull, and two gallons of booze
and was loaded for the dairy busl
ness. It is neelle3s to say that
he proved conclusively in a very
short time that the e was nothing
In it." The statement that dairying
does not pay as a rule comes from a
class of farmers who have not giv
en the business a fa r trial. When a
man says dair ing does not pay it
is certain that he does not know
the dary business and could not
make It ray ir he would. There is.
however, encou:a?ement for such a
1 man, inasmuch as there are numer
ous gO)d cVry papers at small cost
J and bulletin on dsiry subjects to
De had free. If the man who honest
ly wants to make a profit from his
dairy herd will set about to learn
how the pro'its are made, he will
succeed, and in doing so will be able
to realize a profit from his dairy
in the proportion to the intelligence
used la the work.

BUILDING ACTIVE
II COUNTY SEAT"
WORKING ON FOUR BIG STRUC
TURES BESIDES RESIDENCES
LIE EXPOSED.
Building operations are under way
in earnest in Enterprise this week.
Ground was broken Tuesday for
Litch's big B'one business block on
Main street, 40 men are working on
the court house, the everlasting
concrete walls of the wool growers
warehouse are slowly rising and
work on Burnau.gh & Mayfield's
stone wareroom will be in progress
before the end of the week. S. R.
Haworth, the courthouse contractor,
will also eract t'ae Litch and Bur
laugh buildings of tie Bowlby stone.
In addition several new residences
ire going up and a dozen more will
be started as soon as the lumber
3an be had. Haworth is shipping
in lumber from La Qrande, receiv
ing a car load Monday.
ANOTHER LIE NAILED.
The spite of the Joseph Herald
or some parties in Joseph against
Enterprise has bean vented all win
.er and spring on the woolmen for
deciding to build their warehouse
in this city. It took a particularly
lclou3 turn last weak In stating the
ivoolgrowers warehouse had bean
condemned by the railroad officials.
There is not one word of truth in
he article, and the stockholders, com
posed of many of the leading wool-
;rowers of the county, are justly
Indignant at its publication. 0:ie of
hem telephoned Engineer Brando V
who was with the officials whan
.hey insr.eoted the railroad last
week. He said it wa3 a "lie made
Jut of whole cloth." The officials
ever looked at the warehouse, and
Mr. Knapp, the contractor, says they
did not even stop.
The editor of tMi paper In com
pany with Mr. Brandon watched
the- prograss of the work on the
warehouse for souie time Friday. Mr.
urmiuon, wno nau mucn experience)
In concrete work, was fjtrong in his
praise of the building and said It
would be the finest thing of the
kind on the O. R. & N. road.
The concrete wa Is are stronger

apparent to every experienced wool
grower. It will save hundreds of
dollars of shrinkage.
