If any one had fallen Into the no
tion that Wallowa county wae either
terprlse, mounting promontories to
get long views of the valley and t
surrounding country, and was returr
ed to Enterprise la the evening.
Owning to the heavy rata Just be
tore the' speaking at the opera
house, It was for a time fearedi that
a damper would be put on the meet
ing, but the people from Lostine, Jo
seph 'and In and arund Enterprise
came bravely foith, giving an excel
lent hearing. Tom launched " . Into
the business of boosting for Oregon
and continued in it for nearly two
liour3,--He said things that stirred
every Oregon heart with deep pride.
He gave statistics that opened every
$15 a month for a year, and thusi Che
nucleus was formed, 'and It wa the
desire merely to get the matter
started at that time, when the busi
ness men. and local Commercial club
can continue the work. J There is
not a vestige of doubt that ' a largo
advertising fund' will from now on
be created yearly, and that, as Tom
pointed out,-Vt ,wlM prove the best
business investment for the cities
of Enterprise, Joseph, Lostlne and
Wallowa and the entire county, that
ever was made. ' It will throw Immi
gration Into Wallowa county; set
tle up the productive acres here;
add to the county's production; en

and "make two leaves of grass grow

Music Lovers Desire
To See "Pinafore"
Mr1. Bocfamer Being Importuned To
Put on the" Piece. In' '
Enterprise ' 1
Music lovers of the city, both
those who took part In the concert
on Saturday evening, April 30, and
those who had the pleasure of hear
ing It, are importuning Mr. Boehmer
to put on "Pinafore" and it Is prob
able that, their wishes will be grati
fied. "H. M. S. Pinafore" was the
first of the Gilbert & Sullivan com
ic operas and is considered) by many,
the greatest work of that versatile
pair. ";-.'.-'.. -
Those who saw "The Pirates of
Penzance'' as rendered In. thla city
three years ago, may form some con
ception of the character of "Pina
fore," and Inasmuch ' as practically
everybody ,who took part In the "Pi
rates" ia still In the city and much
new talent haa come since that
time, it -Is reaaonable to expect that
if Mr. Boehmer does con&ent to un
dertake the direction of the opera,
it will be an unqualified and high
grade success.

A most Interesting story hangs
like a veil around the' : mineral'
claims filed upon, last week by- T.' I.'
Ratcllff and J. W. Nedrow In Wal-
Iowa county, some 20 miles north' of
Enterprise -The Btory to aa follows:'
Some 20 yeara ago Mr. Ratcllff and
Mr. Nedrow were hunting big. game.
In the locality where the claims are
now filed ipon, and in scouting for
game on horseback 'Mr. Ratcllff
found some rock' that oppeared to
be mineralized and that differed con
siderably from any local rock. Pick
ing up a few bits of "float" ' he.
brought them Into the camp the men
had made; and ' the' rocks were ex
amined. Little or nothing was done
at the' time, and Mr. Ratcllff went
to Salem where he has since re
mained. ' Saet Similar Rock.
Just recently Mr. Ratcllff stepped
into an asaayer'e office In Salem,
and while there observed some rock
vhk;h bore a striking resemblance
to that discovered 20 yeara ago while
he and hie. old army chum, Mr. Ned
row,' .were hunting In Wallowa coun
ty..' Finding that the specimens In
the asaayer'a office , carried values
In tin, Mr. Ratcllff came to Enter
prise, and together with hU army
chum went into 'the old hunting
grounds again,' rediscovered the min
eral ledge, took samples for assay,
and found that the rock carries at
che very sui see a trace of plati
num, plenty of Iron, $1.10 in silver,
$2.60 In' gold, and a trace of tto.
Th.4 gentlemen ' immediately -went
down some nine, feet -on the vein
and took out a bag of ore samples
that will be assayed to determine
Just how the mineral ruo a' the
vein descends. 1
