The game Sunday between Enter
prise and Joseph on, the Joseph
grounds resulted la eight runs for
the local team and a shut-out for
Joseph. The Enterprise team got
down to the brass tacka of baseball
playing right at the start. BHyeu
and Bau.er, the Enterprise battery,
held the Joseph heavy hitters to
pop-apa and flies which were eagerly
pulled down by the in field and
out field of Enterprise who clamored
for more. The way the Enterprise
team feasted on the Joseph boys- was
a cautton, and the tatter seemed un
able to break the Nemesis of base
ball defeat which seemed to hang
over them like a pall from start to
finish.
It .would be difficult to feature the
game played by Enterprise. Ev
ery man on the team did splendid,
clock-like and fast work. Both fields
were on the Job, alert and hungry
for action, every second of the game.
But clean-cut playing characterized
all the team, and .when the gams
ended Enterprise had Joseph hope
lessly shut out and a score of 8 to
gladden the hearts of the fans.
Next Gams Sunday.
The return game with Joesph. will

FAT ANIMALS FIT FOR STOCK
SHOW SHIPPED! TO, SEATTLE
LAST WEEK.
It would have made the Illinois
coin-belt farmer green with envy to
have witnessed the shipment of five
cars of hogs from Enterprise, Wed
nesday of last week. The cars con-it-it
some 90 heal or by actual count
448 head in. total. They .weighed an
a- t rage of 250 pounds each, making
total shipping wgeiht of 112,000
pounds.
From North Country.
The porkers came from the north
precincts of the county from up
around Flora and that neighbor
hood, where they raise corn as well
as the smaller grains, and fatten
hogs easily. Where wide range is
at hand and the development of the
great American pig is assisted by all
nature
There was Just one distinguishing
fact about these hogs: They were
all 'fat. There were no "scrubs"
among them. They had hams that
seemed to run entirely to the feet
and Jowls that .were the prototype
of plenty. And they brought a top
jotch price la the market.
Mr. C. F. Walker purchased the
iblpment of Hotchkis t Combes.
All the hogs, it is understood, came
from the following persons, -up In
and about Flora: Cole brothers, W.
B. Fordice, J. H. Fordlce, E. B. Car
ter, 0. M. Cannon, Martin & Shur-
man, and Wm. Murrlll. With the de
elopment of transportation facilities,
all Wallowa county is showing the
world what a large population she
can feed and clothe. This will In
crease as the county Is settled and
the land now crying for cultivation
increase the production of the coun-
y. Raising food i tuffs out of the

good hard coin in return, and put

county is engaged In doing. Come

What a "Lesion" la.
Growing out of this common sense
reasoning, osteopaths have come to
adopt the technical term "lesion" as
representing any departure from the
normal of the body's tissues. That
tissue or part of the human, machine
which out of Its natural position
ind relationship constitutes a "le
ilon." .
Ordinarily It refers to a disordered
locality in the body, yet as bad
jabits or even , improper mental
states may likewise cause sickness,
In a broader sense the term 1st al
io used by osteopaths to mean the
.'irst cause, the starting point, of a
jhalaof disordered functions.
. AH diseased states may be defined
in simple terms such as disturbances
af the bony frame-work of the body,
ir a disturbance of the nerve supply
f the parts affected, or a dlstur
sace to the b'ooi supply of some
.ocalHy, or an abuse of function
ing, or improper mental activity or
bad sanitation and hygiene which
.atter promptly) comes back to mean
tome abuse of function. These are
.he simples which underlie dlesase,
the termination and correction of
hlch spell "cure."'
Nature wants us each to have
jood health, 'is trying to give It to
ta all the time. Some of these er
rors come about and interfere with
Nature's plans. The osteopathic way
to find out what has gone awry
in the machine andcorrect It. Na
ture does the rest.
. Osteopathy Is the only system of
therapeutics which paya attention to
he diagnosis of hidden lesions. It
is the only system which corrects
inch lesions and thereby puts the
human machine l.i good mechanical
order. Osteopathic Health.
