EDNA
BROWN
FESTIVAL QUEEN
CHOSEN TO REPRESENT CITY
AND COUNTY IN GOLDEN
WEST PARADE
Miss Edna Browning of Enterprise
won the contest for Wallowa Queen
at the Portland Rose Festival, and
will be the reigning deity of the
beautiful float emblematic of the
resources of Wallowa county In the
grand Spirit of the Golden West
parade Thursday night, June 10.
"The successful contestant will right
worthily represent the beauty and
natural wealth of this most favored
land. No fairer queen will be In all
that splendid pageant, and no float
will be emblematic of a fairer land.
Miss Browning is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J, L. Browning of this city.
She 13 highly gifted in music and
contributes freely and willingly to
every important occasion by her
songs. She has a cultivated voice of
surpassing sweetness.
-Miss Browning will also go to Se
attle and attend the world's fair as
a guest of the Enterprise Commer
cial club, all her expenses for both
trips being paid.
The contest developed considerable
interest the closing day owing to the
close race between Misses Browning
and Craig, the former winning by
the narrow margin of 69 votes when
the polls .closed at 9 o'clock Tuesday
night. The final count stands as
follows: Edna Browning 807, Joyce
Craig 738, Eula Foraylha 169, Maude
Lltch 100, Ethel Weaver 85.
The contest was quite successful
from a financial standpoint, about
the same amount being realized as
from the contest in La Grande. Ev
ery vote polled was bought by En
terprise people, none of the other
towns being willing to put up a cent
to advertise the coanty In this man
ner. That it will be a fine adver
tisement bo one who has lnvestlga,t
ed the matter doubts for a moment.
The float will be a magnificent af
fair. J M, Berry, formerly of La
Grande and we'l known in this coun
ty, under date of Kay 89, voluntar
ily wrote from Portland to President
Aiiller as follows:
"Dear Sir: I was requested by
the president of the La Grande Com
mercial club to inspect the float
made for them to be used in the
parade at the coming festival here,
and we noted with much pride the
oae also designed for our sister coun
ty, and bespeak for Wallowa coun
ty much favorable comment and ad
vertisement resulting from their
laudable enterprise In such a dis
play." Chicken dinner at Mavor's res
