ENTERPRISE AND WALLOWA COUNTY.
Enterprise is the grow ing, lively county seat of
Wallowa county. It is centrally situated in the
county. It will draw from the vast land and stocK
and general agricultural and mineral resources ; of
the county, sufficiently to become eventually a big
inland county seat.
It is a city of generous, busy hustlers.
It is rapidly building up with stone buildings.
In time it will be Known as the "Stone City.
Millions of the best building stone, soft and
free from lime and hardening on exposure, lie
within half a dozen miles of Enterprise.
There is water power enough flowing right
through the center of the city to run all the spin
dles and wheels of a great manufacturing center.
Enterprise is surrounded by as fine wheat land
as lies out of doors.
It draws from some of the best fruit land in
America. " '
When you come west, come to Enterprise and
I00K Wallowa county over on the 0. R. a n. rail
road from La Grande.
Henry Clay's Eloquence.
It was tbe reran rk of a distinguished
senator tliut Henry Clays eloquence
was absolutely intuuglble to delinea
tion, that the most labored description,
could not embrace It and (hat lo be
understood it must be seeo uud felt.
He was an orator by .nature. His eagle
eye burned with patriotic ardor or
flashed indignation and denance upon
his foes or was suffused with tears of
commiseration or of pity, and it was
because he felt that he made others
feel. A gentleman after hearing one
of his magnificent efforts in the senate
thus described him: "Every muscle of
the orator's face was at work. His
whole body seemed agitated, as If
each part was iiiritlwt with a separate
life, and his small, white hand, with
its blue veins apparently distended al
most to bur'stiug. moved gracefully,
but with all the energy of rapid and
vehement gesture. The appearance of
the speaker seemed lhat of a pure1 In
tellect wrought up to its mightiest en
ergies and brightly shining through the
tbiu and transparent veil of flesh that
Invested it."-St Louis Republic.

li th Universe Running Down?
It Is absolutely certain that the ma
chinery of the solar system Is ruuulug
down. The earth, with its mass of
three thousand trillion tons, moving
through space a thousand times faster
than the express train goes. Is being
retarded by the friction of the atmos
phere and tides to the extent that It
loses about an hour lo 10.000 years, a
very slow process. It would seem, but
one that will inevitably bring the
earth to a standstill ultimately. Ana
what Is true of the earth is true of all
the worlds and suns. Sir Isnac-Newton
maintained that the motions of all
bodies In space suffer retardation and
that their velocity Is steadily becom
ing less and will finally cease. Solar
systems, like everything else, have
their time to be born and their Ume to
die. New York American. ,

fellows you are most certain to nna tnem wearing
clothes of rare style and individuality. We don't claim
that these clothes are always of an exceptional quality,
but we do claim that young men affect certain features
which otder people don't. In "College Chap Clothes"

is not by any means expensive, and features which are
strikingly young though not too young, . for men who
, wish to reiain'their youthful appearance.
The Normandie, The Norfolk1, the College -Chap and
the College Chap, Jr. are four styles of young men's
garments. They ars classed under the name of. "Col
