Wallowa County's
Dairy Interests
Inqrease In the Importation of Finp
Jersey Stock Spoaks
,. 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,

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.

HILL AND HARRIMAN INTER
ESTS WANT THE OUTLET' .
FOR OUR PRODUCE.
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.

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.
