While the general prediction ia Just why Enterprise lost the ball that the wool clip of this spring will game to Elgin has finally been ex plained. Cashier Holmes of the bank, during hte recent visit to Portland, puurchased ' two "claptraps" to be used In mailing a noise at such gath erings as ball games' when the -home team ie winning.' One "claptrap", Is constructed of a small frying pan with wooden clappers on a stiff spring. When the frying pan to shaken the clappers strike the pan on both sides, making a noise that makes thunder sound like dropping cotton on a still morning to use he late Mr. Dana's expression. The other la an ingenious Invention, a hollo,w cylinder" of wood with- wood en clappers on each side, and when in violent operation sounds a good deal like a saw mill in chains. Mr. Holmes la guilty of having these things In his pocket, according to re port, and with not using them once, when one shake from the frying pan "claptrap" or Just half a shake from the wooden1 apparatus that sounds like a sawmill; would have (won the game easily. This neglect coat En terprise the game, and thus consti tutes a most serious offense which, doubtless, will be considered at the next meeting of the Twilight League. TRAILING SHEEP OUT .

The" ne,w - e'.eva-'-or fon elevating the bundles of wool has been Hn op eration since its arrival at the ware house. It Is an utter necessity; The bundles will weigh! from 2D0 to 400 pounds- each, and the men handl ing them, before the Installation of the new machine, were worn com pletely out physically. Added to the weight is the unwleldlness of the new bundles which renders It Im possible 'for them - to be readily handled and .lifted by hand to the topmost tiers. . -:- ' The , new elevator, however, sim plifies 'the flatter 5 wonderfully.' It la run by gdsollne motor power, with a rising carrier In an endless chain, and'aVthe ' iter - of "bundles grow higher the carrier is elevated at a more acute angle. This carrier extends- from the floor, over the' gaso line engine, to the place of deposit ing the bundles. . Two men carting the wool to the carrier and one man taking it away and piling It up con stitute the farce, In addition to Man a leer Knapp. , , s ' At a rough estimate the number of sheep to the' county before the 24,000 head were shipped out a fe,w days ago was In the neighborhood of 3( 0,000, f igurlngt the increase from last year's stock of 180,000 to be about 90 per cent. Deducting the shipment of 24,000 made ai few weeks ago, a rough estimate, of the num ber of head In the county would be about 275,000. ' 1275 Sacks Of Wool Received Clip of Wallowa County Still Coming Into the, Local-.. ,; . Warfiouse Although the wool clip of the county is lighter than was at first anticipated, the article la piling up In the Wool growers' Warehouse here, tod there Is no apparent end to it in sight. Already 1275 sacks, aggre gating 426,926 pounds, have been ele vated and stored up In tiers! In the big warehouse building, and It Is ex pected that by the time tlhe total clip .3 stored It -will fill the big building. When the wool began to arrive the antlre upper floor of the warehouse was filled with grata wheat, oats, rye and barley. It was found neces sary to move all this Immense amount of grain to the basement. Ac cordingly a temporary opening ,was node In the floor and the grain shunted by hand to the basement md wheeled to Its place and piled :n sacks, tier upon tier. This base oa it floor is now practically filled with grain. On either aide of the iriveway grain Hes In sacks twenty five feet thick to the sides of the building. In order to protect it from germination It Is raised upon open wooden foundations, thus permitting Jie atr to circulate freely .under and iround it. '.J The entire first floor was thus Bleared for wool, and It Is being rap Idly filled ,UP. . PROMISES A BIG GOLD PRODUCER WILSON BASIN FIND ONE OF THE BEST IN LIFE OF EASTERN OREGON. Word came to Enterprise last week I of an immensely rich strike of gold quartz. In Wilson Basin. The mes sage received by E. T. Andersoa was follows: , "Lostlne, Oregon. "Come to the mine at once. Sam ples of gold are shipped you today. Bring sacks for sacking, as ore is too valuable to put on dumps." The message was from John Henry Wilson, an old miner and a Wallowa county resident ' ,who has bevn and continues to be enthusiastic over the outlook for' this county as a mineral producing section. The Enterprise Press1 wishes toj be conservative in all Its statements and desires rather to understate .than to overstate any matter, when It comes to "boosting." " In such a vein of conservatism1 the paper will say: First, the sample of gold quartz shown a. press repre sentative Is better than a sample of gold quartz examined by- the same representative In the Medicine Bow district of southern Wyoming, which went over $20,000 gold to the ton. We do not know, nor do the mine owners know, just how much) of such gold ore the Big Dick and Little Joe claims in the group contain. But the two clalmsi contain at least some of It, for some of It was found.' ' ' Mr. Anderson left the first of the week for the mine. On his return he brought samples with him which show copper glamc in addition to the gold quartz, a trace of silver, and an excellent deposit of some of the 'best graphite the Press representative has ever seen. Graphite occurs In a zone some four feet wide running over head I the stringer In which the men are driving. . The hanging wall Is of changed granite and the whole foot wall, ,we understand. Is a snow, white quartz. This spring the men, left the two old tunnels and drove in on a stringer or feeder, the work taking them over a hundred feet lower than the two old tunnels. In -this string er, after driving : twenty feet, the rich gold ore and copper glanc were found, and overhead the extensive graphite deposit, was1 found. The only question about this pros pect is this: If the owners have & primary deposit of the minerals al ready shown, they have a big pro ducer. If they haven't they have no producer. And no one however ex pert can see through solid -rock Into the ground to de -ermine whether a ledge runs 1000 feet or one mile or one foot. Everybody to Wallowa county sincerely hopes that the mines will prove a tremendous pro ducer. - SELECT GROUNDS Trades Horses For Fruit Ranch J. c.
