,xkvxxxx yrtr.rvxxM9 eme c4 a rrx Ent erpri so TV7 Year; A Z 3 There's a reason. There are plenty of reasons. As a general conclusion, satisfy yourself by taking a general survey of the towns, county seat towns in, the East you have known and you will recall towns of four and five thousand people that do not begin to have the natural resources-tributary to them that Enterprise has. In those towns of 5000 the resources are developed. Here they haven't begun to develop! In this valley there are 70,000 acres of irrigated land, not a "going to be" proposition, but an actual fact today. We say that every acre of that 70,000 acres of irrigated land is tributary to Enterprise. Part of it is near Joseph, Lostine and Wallowa, but as every one of those towns grows, Enterprise will grow that much faster. As a "one-man town" is a dead one so. is a one-town county a dead one. There is not a particle of doubt in our minds but in the next few years Joseph, Lostine and Wallowa will be thriving, bustling towns of 3000 people, and that very fact will make Enterprise, the county seat, If you have a snap in farm property we will buy or sell it for yoJ. If it isn't a snap, say nothing. Wo handle snaps only. CALL ON centrally located as it is and the whole county directly tributary to it, a town of 5000 to 6,000 people. It is as necessary Joseph, Lostine and Wal lowa thrive for Enterprise to grow, as it was to have a Buffalo, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Washington to make New York City. There is not a particle of doubt but that Wallowa county his the resources to support four or more towns of 3,000 to 6,000 people. There is enough tim ber tributary to each town to keep oi e or more large saw mills in each town going for the next 25 years, and the lumber industry now assured for Wallowa will make that a 3000 town. The mining development at Lostine assures its future growth; Wallowa Lake will make Joseph the most popu lar summer resort in the Northwest a id the County High School and coun ty seat definitely located at Enterpriso assures for it in a few years a pop ulation of 3000 people, to say nothing of the mineral, agricultural, timber, stock and dairying, water power and other resources at her doors. Mar cus Daley, the great copper king of Montana, passed through this county in an early day on a mining tour and said that when transportation was provided there was enough copper in the Powder River mountains to build a town in Wallowa Valley the size of a half dozen Buttes; and that Town is Enterprise. Only a few days ago $30,000 was deposited in Enterprise Bank to develop the Contact mines. The Wallowa County Mining and Development Company with a capital of $2,000,000 was recently organized with head offices at Enterprise, and now has a force of men developing this property. The railroad down Snake river will open up a dozen good DANIEL BOYD Office of BURLEIGH a BOYD, Lawyers mines. Ju-t as the mines in Coeur d' Alene and British Columbia, 150 miles from Spokane, and . the timber and agricultural country and water power made Spokane a city of 100,000, so will the mines, timber, irrigated and wheat lands and water power make Enterprise a town of 5,000 to 10,000. We have said nothing of the stock industry. We have said nothing about this being the finest county in the Northwest for sheep, cattle, horses, hogs, and dairying. The crop of wool for 1909 alone brought in $350,000 from the outside. How's that for pay roll? Of the. 70,000 acres under irrigation, every 40 acres will support a family and net $1000 a year profit when properly handled. Why pay rent when you can buy prope. ty in Enterprise for half what it is worth and on easy payments. We .hive lots for sale In Alder View and Boyd's Addition for $100.00 up and only $10.00 down, $3.00 a month with only 7 per cent Interest on deferred payments. Do you realize that property in Enterprise his not advanced a dollar since the panic? And yet today, the quietest time of the year, the merchants say business never was so good and money so plenty. Not a house in town for rent and yet there are a dozen dwellings in course of construction. We have three clients Wanting to rent business rooms and not one to be had in town. We are on the eve of a great town development. The dull period is over and Enterprise will grow faster in the next year than it has in the last three years. Look out for the "knocker." You will recognize him when you meet him on the street. If you are from Missouri we will show you. ONE OF OUR SNAPS IS A SEVEN ROOM HOUSE AND FOUR LOTS ON EASY PAYMENTS.
