HAS 160 ACRES OF ALFALFA
AND TWO CROPS YEARLY
' C. R. Pratt, a pioneer .rancher liv
ing near Enterprise, paid the county
seat city one of his usual weekly v's
lls Saturday. In conversation . with
Mr. Pratt he staled that he had
some 160 acres in alfalfa, cutting
two crops yearly. This ,will be read
with, interest by any eastern read
er who is seking lands' and the op
portunity for a home. Mr. Pratt
sell bis alfalfa, when he desires
to sell any at all, for from $5 to $8
in the stack. The eastern man of
Mine means could get. independently
rich buying ailalfa land in quantity
from ItiO to 30 acres and seeding
it to alfalfa. In some localities In
tha county where the altitude is
lower, he could probably cut three
crops every year, and sell every ton
of It in the stack. Or getting bottom
land. for timothy and such timothy
as the easterner never saw before
he could 't rich ia time raising
nothing but timothy. It has been
a surprise to the new editor of this
paper to see timothy grown here
higher than his head. For this, tim
othy there is a clamorous ' market
at a price quoted In Portland last
week of $23 a ton.

Edward Eben, representative of the
lilack Marble Lime Works near hero,
was in Enterprise Friday. .' In an in
ervlew .with Mr. Eben that gentle
man stated that the lime furnish

ed in the hills near Joseph, within
a dozen miles of Enterprise, the

the markets of the' country.
What the Black Marble company
now is deeply Interested In Is the

Spokane, and Walla Walla. This
company has enough iJme in sight to
supply these three cities with all
the lime thy can use in the next
thousand years this company has a
mountain of it, and as is stated the
best lime on the market.

bids fair to become one of the big
gest productions of .the entire coun
ty. More railroads and better rates

the. same superior quality."
The settler who wishes, land In. the
Imnaha valley will probably be tils
appointed,' unless he should buy Im
