Development That Wallq,wa county will number among her wide interests that of suc cessful dairying Is now conclusive Farmers- owning lands adjoining cities audi towns- In the county have seen the profitable Investment In dairy farms and cattle, and have begun establishing such ranches in various sections- of the county. Mr. Zurcher has begun such a business at the outskirt of Enterprles. Other farmers elsewhere have laid founda tions for the dairy business' which muat inevitably grow with the rapid settlement of Wallowa county lands and the. rapid building of Wallowa ' county towns. .' During the past five months flve carloads of full blooded Jerseys have been shipped into Wallowa county from the Willamette valley, and Recording tto Information received, ilhese shipments- were ' to Wallowa county stockmen, for the purpose of developing dairy herds. The last shipment oocurrel during the week ending April 16, being one of eighty five head of Jerseys from near Sa lem. In thla county perhaps more than In any other county of Oregon, dairying can be. mate the most profit able at the least expense. This Is o(wlng to the abundant pasture and forage plants, and the tremendous growth of markets. Some of those already engaged In dairying have records of from 9 to $10 per COW, Says Wallowa County Is a er Cy F. Aemut Returns To Home In Wiaconli Afto.r a Vieit) Hap Of Nearly a Year. ' Mr. C. F, Asmius, of Green county, Wla., returned home from this local ity after a vlalt here, with, hla daugh ter of almost one year. The daugh ter of Mr. Asmus Is Mrs. O. J. Uot living oi one of the richest farms ' In the mountain slope district, be fore leaving for Wisconsin, Mr. A mus paid the Enterprise lres off-ice a genial farewell visit, and in con versation' with the editor auld: "If I, were younger, say forty years, I .would never leave. this county." Mr. Asniua U past eighty years of age. "I think the land here in Wallowa county U as good as any, and bet ter than a great deal," said Mr. As- mus. And in further statements as to the market value of the land al ready cultivated, he said that buyers came frequently lots of buyers, he 1 stated to the home and neighbor hood of his daughter, after land. , Thus- tha visiting persons from sections in. the more eastern, states carry back with them stories of the wonderful productivity of Wallowa county, and of the tremendous future which awaits the residents of this section of Oregon. This is the sort of advertising that counts.. When a gentleman who has lived for t,wo or three generations In an eastern: com munity, and b widely known and respected for hla conservative and i safe judgment, returns to praise Wal lowa county and to spread the gos pel of Wallowa opportunity, It Is worth hundreds of settlers to this ssction of Oregon. PUR THIS STATE ALL INDICATIONS POINT TO A HEAVY INFLUX OF EAST ERN SETTLERS. The year 1910 will probably wit ness a greater Influx of settlers and -pro3pectvie settlers from the east and middle states than -any year in Oregon's history. If the' esti mates, made by the- railroads andthe big real etsate firms are correct. Both railroad and real estate firins agree thai the Indications- at present are for a .tremendous, tapour of col onist or homes-eekers. In Portland .'.he big real esLate , companies are preparing to handle the biggest busi ness of theiT history, and the trans portation lines are making or have made similar preparations. In this- general Influx of settlers Wallowa county should lift a voice -o attract .attention. And she will. Her newspapers and her commercial clubs and even her private citizens and business men In the capacity of private cltfeena are already 'busy with the enthusiasm that wlns Wallowa county has fundamental resources upon which settlement Is based. She has unsettled lands, un claimed, timber, undiscovered miner al, big ranches that will make fine wheat farms, and fruit belts which aeed only cultivation and planting to prove Vallo,wa county a fruit producer asi well- as a grain, hay and -stock producer. . " Keeping up the message of homes :o the Industrious is the thing that Wallowa county Is Interested In. It is the .thing Enterprise- Is doing. Just now the commercial club of Enter prise Is alive wl-h the fever of en- huslarinn, fairly bursting with good things to tell the eastern brother In tils migration to the west. Enterprles wauts-aa many of these prospective, of tiers as. possible, because she has (i me3nsge for them, -prosperity for ihem, homes forthousands. upon thou sands of them, and contentment for bvery son of Industry. Fine Collection of Rare Photographs Ml H. Tucker, Employed By the Burnaugh & Mayfld Co, the Po8as8o,r. s An Interesting and rare collection of Cuban photographs Is being dis played by M. H. Tucker In the win dow of the Burnauch &.Mayfield' drug company's store, on Alain street Mr. Tucker served In the Spanish Americanvar, In the srxth Missouri Volunteer Infantry. General Fitz- hiarh Lee commander. The photo glyphs were-taken while Mr. Tuck er's regiment wore camped ton Cuba, near Havana, and ' comprise' twelve views of very Interesting subjects. One of the Dhotofiraphs 4s that of what is called a Cuban boue pile. In conversation Mr. Tucker stated hat the bone piles throughout the Ula id arlne from the former religious ustom of failure to par a sum year ly for the repose of the dead tru the grave, and upon failure to payi the body U exhumed and cast upon- the oniuion pile. The price- the surviv ing families must, pay U $15 a year. allure to "come across" aunuauy nth Uila amounnt result to. the body's exhumation. , It Is then sprlnkl ed with quick lime and thrown upon nl-lo - with other similar . bodies.

The railway battle now apparently on, between the Hill and Harriman Interests in eastern! Oregon, ' will mean the rapid development of Wal lowa county, In all probability. The line of survey extends from Don dowa at the conflux of the Grande Rondo and Wallowa rivers to a point at or near Nez Perce. It Is suspect ed that the line Is being rushed,' in its preliminary -survey, to head off the Harriman forces that might seek a river grade as an outlet for Union and Wallowa counties. It is said that the order for the survey came In great haste and that the corps of engineers are under strict secrecy, as to the cause of the apparent haste. However the battle of the railway forces may terminate, It 1 practic ally assured that the development of Wallowa will be greatly facilitated by Increased transportation lines. This is- what all Wallowa Is inter ested In. WALLOWA REALTY CLIMBS QUIETLY, STEADILY HIGHER The Wallowa Sun 'prints a bit of interesting Information, showing the steady Increase In Wallowa realty. That paper shows" by actual real es tate transactions, giving two such deals on Eear Creek, that Wallowa county real estate has Increased In the past sixteen, months, In this qne instance, from ?2,60O to M.00O. Such increases In such a length of time, mark the growth In- wealth and prosperity of Wallowa- It Is a de velopment that will call loudly to the eastern setttler who Uvea' upon .and no,w that baa reached what Is A-iown as the law of diminishing re turns. - -.. ' K. P. Baseballists Off For Wallowa EnttJ prise, Lodge, Lef Last, Tuesday To Cross Bats With Brother. ' Several of the more husky K. Pa who have the spirit of the national game In. profuseness, left for Wal lowa last Tuesday to cross bata in a baseball game ,with the brothers ot the Wallowa K. of P. lodge. The Enterprsle line-up is a formidable and Invincible array of baseball experts, as follows: 1 W. C. Boatman, p.; Charles Crum- packer, c; A. C. Miller, lb; F. A. Forsythe, 3b; L. Burnaugh, cf; H. Boswell, rf; W. F. Savage, If; L. A. Jackson, reserve. Other members of the Enterprise lodge will go along, both in the capacity of "fans" and also to par take of the K.P . hospltalltyi of, Wal lowa and; to nave a day of genuine pleasure. Those- who left with the team were: Dr. Hockett, Samuel Lltch, F. S. Yergere, Charles Thom as and G. W. Franklin. The -team to composed of that sort of baseball enthusiasm and fldeptness that usually knocks the hind sights off the sphere at the first crack. They eat up Jn-ihoots and out-drops like a veracious boy eats candy and as for spit balls and snake curves weU! Giva Wallow the) Game. The history of the game would be rich reading, were it not that the jlmterprlse K. P. team do not wish to assume a profuse explanation of how they came to give Wallowa the victory. It Is beyond all doubt, of course, that the aggregation from Enterprise with iPl-chen Boatman outclassing all twlrlers of th-s sphere could readily and easily have tak en the figurative scalp of the Wal lowa lodge team. But. they hadn't the heart te do I. Though .Pitch er Boatman, held Wallowa to the . score of 6 to 1 favoring Enterprise up to the seventth. Inning, the En terprise lodge thought better ot It finally and permitted ' Wallowa ' to win the game by a score of 15 to 11. This was generous. But in ad- anton to such generosity. Enter prise kindly agreed to play, Wallova a return game Friday, May 6, at Enterprise. AYS WALLOWA COUNTY REALLY THE BEST YET. In a.' Interview with Mr. O. H. Brady of this city, mention of whose recent trip east has been nada by thh paper. Mr. Brady states tht while e saw considerable signs of development In such at&tes as Kan sas, Nebraska, and Colorado, still he witnessed nothing en the trip that looked quite as good as WaU wwa county Enterprise. Mr. NOW WALLOWA COUNTY Brady Is a widely traveled gentleman having been engaged in railroad ,work at one time and running throug Illinois, Indiana and other sections of the western middle states. In ad dition he has traveled- widely and observed closely. . With all this ex perience to draw from, Mr. Brady states that Wallowa county and the' city of Enterprise offer the best cli mate, water, and future opportuni ties of any section within- the range of his experience. Nsw Wagon on thq Road. Mr. F. S. Ashley hca placed a new wagon oni the road, covering the en tire county, having recenty secured the agency for the White Sewing Machine company. Mr. Asliley will employ a man to handle this addi tion to the bu3in3s, exclusively. GRATEFUL FOR ALL v PK KINESS1 MR. 'AND MRS. DILWORTH EX TEND AN EXPRESSION OF . THEIR THANKFULNESS. It is somewhat out of the province of a ne(ws article to express (hanks for kindness extended the shocked and stunned parents im tha loss, of loved babies, but the accident 'to our little boys was so unuBual and the feeling of the whole community here so deeply stirred and- so gener ously extended us, that we de3ire to express our gratitude at some length.', If It may be a means of comfort to the dear, good people of Enter prise, we want, to say that never in all our lives have we and- our babies been, made to feel the one ness of kin, as we have been made to feel It here with, your people.. We were total strangers. Our babies had been with you fcut twenity-four hours. They childishly left', their olay Thursday evening and Friday to speak repeatedly, to their papa and mamma of the beautiful town, the pleasant country, the grandi ell mate" and water, and only Friday little Landi-um and Buster came to their pPa with the exclamation: "Oh, papa, theie is such a beauti fu,l cemetery out on the hill, and 3uch grand country around ! Both Landrum - and Buster- (William) spoke ; repeotedly .. of how good the people are here! Then came the blow that stunned and staggered. A tremendous and profound sorrow that seemed to crush us and at the same time to wring .-he hearts of every person In. Enter prise." All Enterprise arose In re sponse, as if tthe great God had whispered at the threshold of every home and called fathers, mothers, sons and1 daughters forth to .come to us, heLp us, stay us bi our extreme need, and ' to serve us with that kindness that is borne oipon the very heart throbs of your people. . Wre are so thankful for It all ! You have made us feel that wo are your kin, You have caused us In part ' to forget our groat ' sadness In our - deep gratitude to you for your everlasting love and kindness. You have lured us away, in a meas ure, from the awful ionesomeness and the awful ache that lies within us to smile tjio jgh we may weep, and to laugh though wa may not forgot , our deadenilng sorrow. It seems to us that this sad tragedy might have broken us completely, had I ' not been for your support and comfort. And we wort-to lay our hearts before you to your glory and to your service. In conclusion: While we came to remain, as citizens, it Is doubly con clusive ...now ,; that we shall never leave from your rnidat to Uve else where. It ,was here we seamed to be directed by some Inscrutable power. If the people at large knew the de tails, they would, ,we believe, think likewise. - And it was here our babies seemed to have been drawn and lur ed away by the same Inscrutable; pow er. Therefore we anall never leave, but shall strive to carry out those plans which our little chums had a voice in; making'; and we shall strive to 'grow Ire'o' a help to others In time of great need, holding ourselves as servants In service, grateful for the opportunity to sacrifice for you who have borne na up. May . the great God bless you all. Mr. and Mrs. W, H, Dil,worth.J BUSINESS VOLUME OF EN.
