To the Eastern man who finds an opportunity In his thickly nettled section, and Incidentally fluids about ; 6,000 individuals all rampant and '' 'pell-mell after the solitary oppor tunity, It will come as a mlllenlal '"promise to see what haa beoa done wuiy M J u u w i :- newcomer who saw raw lands teera-: ing with opportuultlea. A case in ' mind la that of the , transformation ' wnouht by,Carl floe and W. L Cal vin, "within the brief space of three months, on a piece of land on the outfltoirts of Enterprise. Thl.,'luaid Cor years lay to pasture and very vPoor pasture at that. , As a. matter j. f course, all old settlers looked up , on this land aa upon all other land of a similar formation and In a similar raw state. Naturally, It was pro nounced and firmly believed, that the land "wouldn't grow anything." It had ' been pastured for years. X .. hundred acrea of It might fead half . a doien steers. . It could igrow grease , weed and thistles and wtldflowers. , , Cesldes - there were hundreds of thousands of acres of just such land in Wallowa county, and if It was , worth , anything . for agricultural , crops, why hadn't somebody found It out, generations ago? ' But the story of ' reclamation is now completely told, and this 100 acres in one field, as broken and sowiod and dltchod by Calvin and Koo,' shows a picture of -plenty and 'promising 'prosperity that is des tined to advertise this section, of ' Oregon. Ou the first of March the own ers began, the., work of turning over the primitive sod. It had never been turned over in all Its age long Idle ness before., U was the same old wild grass and .weeds hat the deer and elk once foamed over in their annual migrations. It was. the sane historic sod that Chief Joseph and his followers delighted to turn their ponies loose upon. ' la fact it was the ' same old uncultivated mould that was headed up originally and formed by disintegration and water action. Hut today it waves green with barley, and the alfalfa, to which the 100 acres were seeded with the barley, is' sprouting vigorously all over It, and promising future har vests of a hundred' and a thous andfold. Today,- then, after only three months of well directed indus try, a baren.' .wilderness wave3 with barley and sprouting alfalfa; and the sight Is asi balm to the weary eyei of the believer In the agricultural fu ture of eastern Oregon. In addltton to this, Messrs. Calvin and Kde are now Installing a large centrifugal pump, Just arrived, that will lift water 128 foot to their high er reservoir and 90 feet to the lower rosarvoir. From the3e reservolira the entire 100 acres can bo irrigated and .will bo Irrigated." What Me.Hsrs. Calvin and Roe have da:ie anyone with industry and a ilttle money can do, almost anywhere In Wallowa' county. The land is here and the opportunities lie just under the wild sod. Waving fields In a 'single season can be made to' supplant barren and profitless pas ture lands. The "call" is from the 'soil.

' ' ' Well. . W. A. Moss, at present conduct ing the Lewis Hotel ln thl city, has : leased' the Interior rooms in . the Lltch building, and Saturday be gan putting in furniture - equipping them for rooming purposes. The demand for room exceeds the ipres en supply, and Mr. Rloae will doubt lesj find no trouble In filling the rooms as a rule with transients. It is rumored that he .will also open, a restaurant in the Rodsers building. The demand for accommodations of this kind Is increasing here. Al though there was nothing by ,way of a public celebration,, and although the travel' and t'.anslent trade was merely at Ms normal, one night dur ing the past week six transients were' compelled to sock rooms wherever they might find them, ow ing to the rilling of all hotels. This increase, moreover, is growing, and tho demand seems to lie for a large, cin.nrotlioua rooming house. Taken tit time of publk celebration, there are not enough "spare" rooms in the city to accommodate the public. Mr. Blanchard of the Hotel Entw rrlse frequently has been compelled to tnvk rooms even ' in private homfa, "spare" rooms, to accommo date the' hotel trade. A good room ing ' houie would remove this ire ".ienl hunt far room accommodations. Friday night last, while returning from the theatre In. Enterprise, Ryss Lelia Ogburn, youngest daugnier oi Mr. and Mrs. Ogburn, sustained a serious Injury that leaves the pa tient still in a very critical condi tion. At last reports Bhe was slow ly regaining consciousness, though only at intervals, and remains for a part of the time In a stateof iusen slWllty. ' , Miss Lelia and her brother Floyd, together with a hired workman at che place, attended the " Madlso Square theatrical , troupe's show at the opera house here. On the way home, In about the neighborhood of Judge Olmsted's ranch, ' one of the thills ia reported as falling down. The man in charge sprang from the rig td hold the horse which be came frightened' and went tearing away and got loose from the man. The little girl partially sprang and wa partially thrown, from the rig 1" the neighborhood of. the L.'J. Jor dan ranch, and' strucK on her temple and side. She was picked up un conscious and carried Into the Jor dan home, .where she remains. She remained Insensible until Saturday noon, when signs of consciousness became manifest, but since the a she U unconscious at intervals. Neith er her brother nor the hired man were Injured. . . ' Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ogburn live on the ranch owned by Iteputy Sheriff Crow, on Alder Slope, where they have resided for several years. Their many frieids and the friends f Leila sympathize with them deep-y- In the sad affair, and hope that he little girl may recover fully and .aptdly.

Paints' .ANOSEEKER3 FROM WASHINQTOM ARE HERE . Landseekero conthipo to pour In to Enterprise and from here to go mt into various pjiVta of the coun ty, with a view to securing ranches. Sheriff Crowley of Klickitat coun- ;y, Wash., accompanied by two men, Jne of them William Wright, spent Friday riding over the Slope coun -ry and the Prairie Creek district Saturday the three left for Lostlne, where they will look over the valley lands, and may possibly continue a further search, through the county. W'allowa county lands are attract ing wide attention among those who seek good lands for a comparatively jmall outlay of money per acre. Within a few years no Wallowa county lands will remain. The set tler desiring to secure good land at a minimum price per acre, is com pelled to do so at once not In a few years from now. Any climate, almost, can be found In tha county', owing to the varying' altitudes of the county This summer should witness, with proper advertising, a constant ,;if lux of settlers, especially from the Bast, who desiie home locations. Monday, on his way to Joseph. In. an Interview Senator Oliver express ed the firm conviction, that .within ten years Wallowa ' county will be raising as much wheat as the famous "Palouse" district In Washington, if not more. , This expression from one well ac quainted with, the potential, quali ties, of Wallowa county, coming on the heels of the persistent advocacy of this paper, makes U3 "feel good." (t goes to show the strong probabil ity that the wheat production , of vVallowa county will .within a brief term of years prove a vast store nouse of wealth for this county. Wherever the wheat raiser has stopped on the Wallowa county hills, , he has not only made the hills look I like a paradise, but he haa gotten rich enough to beindependent.
