RAW LAND 13 CONVERTED IN
THREE MONTHS TO 8CENES
OF PROFIT.
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.

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

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. I
