Oh, the hills are green and rolling, in ; Wallowa,
- Old Wallowa,
And the mountain shoulders bowling o'er Wallowa;
Pine forests quiver lightly,
And the stars shine ever brightly,
While the gay moon swoons on nightly,
In Wallowa.
The peach bloom and the apple, in Wallowa,
Fair Wallowa,
Dot the green with pink and dapple, in Wallowa;
Here the virgin soil is crying,
Here the mineral is lying,
Here the spirit never dying .

Our Few Real Needs.
"As civilization and culture make peo
ple more prosperous aud more comfort
able they are proue to forget how few
aud simple their real needs are. We
need sleep, but not much of it, aud
most of us are usleep exactly wben
we ought most of all to be awake. We.
need food, but it is not necessary that
food should be cunningly disguised
with a thousand devices to tickle the
Jaded and surfeited palate, for the
main trouble is that we eat too much
aDd not too little. We need clothes to
wear, but the one suit of fur that lasts
certain animals all their lives is so
beautiful that some men spend their
whole time In search of it. We need
heaven and the sense of a higher pow
er directing our lives aud our desti
nies, but we speud most of our time
refuting and denying the possibility of
anything bigger or better than we are.
We need the love of friends, and
therefore it is the more strange that
we should speud our time not in Im
proving ourselves, but In decorating
our bodies, filling them with food and
bustling them about over the earth In
seurcb of ever freshing sensations.

This melancholy tragedy happened
In Holland. A fisherman who caught
a salt herring placed the fish In a tub
full of salt water. Every day he took
out some of the salt water and re
placed it with fresh. In a few days he
hod the herring living in fresh water.
But, not content at stopping here, be
decided to try another plan. Every
day he took a little water out of the
tub until none was left, and ibe her
ring was still alire. The next course
was walking. In a month or so the
herring had developed feet and learn
ed to walk, and be accompanied bis
master on his Journeys. One day as
they were crosslug over a narrow
bridge the berring caught sight of the
water. Reminiscences of former days
flashed through bis head, and he re
solved to try the water. But while
still gazing at It be fell In, and before
his master could aid blm be was

ENTERPRISE AND WALLOWA COUNTY.
Enterprise is the growing, 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
looK Wallowa county over on the 0. R. & N. rail
road from La Grande.

The Verdict
The lecture was over, and the gen-
tletnau who did the talking strained
his ears as he followed the audience
out of the ball to gather in. so far as
he could, what sort of an Impression
he bad made. As he drew near to the
doorway two old gentlemen who were
making their way out Just ahead of
him rendered a verdict.
"Well. Bunkslde," said one of them,
"what did you think of lt?'
"I've beard worse," said Bankslde.
"Did you think It was at all Illumi
nating?" asked the other.
"In an old fashioned way, yes," re
plied the venerable Bankslde.
"I don't quite catch your point, said
the questioner.
"Why, It was illuminating, but it
struck me as having more gas than
electricity about it," explained the
critic Judge.

Tha First TaUgraph Lin.
' After the formal opening of the first
telegraph line built for commercial
purposes between Washington and
Baltimore Trofessor Morse and bis as
sociates offered to sell the invention to
the United States government for
$100,000, but the price was considered
too high. The government bad appro
priated $30,000 toward the construction
of the Washington-Baltimore line, but
after a short period of operation the
postmaster general, to whom President
Polk had 'referred the matter, wrote,
"Although the Invention Is an agent
vastly superior to any other devised by
the genius of man, yet tbe operation
between Washington and Baltimore
has not satisfied me that under any
rate of postage that can be adopted Its
revenues can be made to cover its expenditures,"
On Monday evening next, lasting
until 10:30, Halley's comet will
light up the heavens. The moon
will be In total eclipse for that
period.
The brilliancy even of Halley's
comet will from now oh. through the
future be totally eclipsed, however,
